Chapter 54


    "Master Clements, I''ve heard a lot about you. I''m Julia ire, the niece of Mr. ire of Peak''s


    Group!"


    "Master Clements, I''m Elizabeth McGowan, the runner-up of this year''s Miss Beauty! My father is


    also quite famous in Aelburgh. But Aelburgh is too far away, thus, not many people know him!"


    Seeing two well-dressed women around Frederick constantly jostling at him, Alicia was a little


    speechless.


    What were they doing? Even if they wanted to flirt with Frederick, they should have lined up,


    shouldn''t they?


    Alicia''s anger suddenly vanished as she set her sight on the two women who werepeting with


    each other, trying to promote themselves.


    She was waiting to see who would win.


    Simrly, Frederick did not say a word and looked at them as if he was facing two clowns.


    "Master Clements, I''ve graduated from London University with an economics major..." Julia said.


    Sensing that the two of them were going to talk nonstop, Frederick couldn''t bear to listen any more.


    "Are you done? If you are, please move aside! Don''t disturb my peace!" Frederick''s voice was


    monotonous.


    However, Alicia felt that it was the most melodious voice she had ever heard. She was a little happy


    that Frederick was so indifferent towards them.


    Feeling a little satisfied with her vanity, Alicia''s eyes became brighter.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Sure enough, the two women''s smiles froze on their faces the next second. Then, they turned


    around and left.


    "Hubby...1'' Alicia called out to him.


    She was in a really good mood, but as soon as she took a step forward, another figure rushed past


    her and stood in front of her. This time, it was a sexy woman in a purple dress.


    "I''ve heard a lot about you. It''s my great honor to meet you today!"


    With this, the woman handed over a business card with both hands. "Can I be your friend?"


    ncing at the woman''s business card, Frederick narrowed his eyes. He then turned his head and


    said, "Sorry, I''m not in the mood! Miss White, please leave my sight!"


    The woman seemed very embarrassed by his sudden response, and Alicia almost burst into


    laughter.


    Although she was unwilling to give up, the woman could only turn around and leave silently. She


    readjusted her gown, and it was obvious that she regretted her actions.


    This time, Alicia didn''t rush forward. She deliberately stayed for a few seconds and nced at him.


    Their eyes met. Frederick faintly smirked


    and nodded slightly, as if to hint her to go over.


    Finally, Alicia also smiled.


    Just as she was about to move her feet, another voice came from the side. "Mr. Clements, it has


    been a long time since west met!"


    The woman who walked over this time was obviously a little older. She was wearing a simple ck


    jumpsuit, but she had her own charm. Obviously, she knew Frederick.


    They had a friendly chat and even whispered to each other.


    Alicia waspletely furious as she was interrupted all the time. Did she need to line up just to talk


    to her husband?


    Looking at the man standing tall in front of her, she felt that he was like a luminous pearl in the


    middle of the night, shining brilliantly. The other men seemed to have lost their charm.


    In an instant, Alicia felt like she had returned to a few years ago. During one of their school


    activities, Jeremy hit on her. Alicia''s heart trembled slightly, but she also felt a bitter pain. She


    wanted to hide herself away. That was an instinctive self-protective reaction after being hurt.


    She subconsciously turned sideways as she got lost in her thoughts.


    That day, she was also in Frederick''s position, being embraced and surrounded by the others! It


    was at that moment that her life started to be a tragedy.


    In fact, it had proved once again that the rich would


    always have countless choices!


    What about this time? Would it be another poison wrapped in nice packaging?


    She was scared and wanted to give up!


    Setting down her wine ss, Alicia was about to go back to Mrs. Clements when someone


    suddenly grabbed her waist. When she turned around, she saw Frederick standing right behind her.


    In a sh, her anger rose. "Why are you here? Go and talk to the other girls!"


    They looked like they were chatting so enthusiastically, they might even go into a room!


    Alicia didn''t want to say this, but for some reason, she was so irritated that she couldn''t control


    herself. Compared to her restlessness, Frederick was calm. He tightened his grip on her.


    "Now you understand how it feels to be worried? Let''s make a bet. Believe it or not, in less than ten


    minutes, that woman in pink will definitelye and talk to me!" Frederick said.


    Alicia was puzzled.


    Following his eyes, Alicia subconsciously turned her head, but Frederick suddenly raised his hand


    and stroked her hair as if he was being affectionate. However, it was to stop her action.


    "Don''t look at her so brazenly!"


    Then, they shifted positions and Alicia saw a beautiful woman in a long pink dress with straight hair,


    talking to Hallie. It seemed that they had hit it off!


    Her gaze fell on his face again. Alicia frowned slightly, but she also sensed something different.


    "You don''t believe me? Let''s start our countdown then!" Frederick said.


    Frederick raised his hand and let her have a look at his watch. He smiled and tapped on her nose.


    "If you lose, don''t be angry with me anymore. I''ll have my way with you tonight!"


    "What if I win?" she asked. There were so many women around him, and Alicia did not believe that


    that particr woman woulde and talk to him.


    "Then, I''ll grant you a wish provided that I can do it!" Frederick answered confidently.


    Why was he being so generous?


    Could she ask for a divorce? It was impossible that he''d agree to it!


    After thinking about it for a while, Alicia straightened her little finger and said, "Pinky promise then.


    You can''t go back on your own words!"


    Looking at her cute action, Frederick reached out his hand and pinched her cheeks. Then, he took


    another ss of wine and took a light sip. He was confident of winning, but Alicia rolled her eyes at


    him with dissatisfaction.


    "I''ll get a ss of cold drink and calm myself down.


    I should start thinking about what I want. Hmph!"


    With pride, Alicia spun around and approached another waiter. She picked a ss of iced


    champagne. As soon as she turned around, a pink dress came into her sight. Her brows


    immediately


    snapped together.


    How could this be happening?


    In the blink of an eye, Frederick had already sent the woman away, "Do you believe it now? It was


    her who sent the women in my way. If you are angry now, you will lose this battle!"


    Was Hallie introducing women to her husband?


    Alicia was even more confused. Why?


    They were not close to her. Besides, even if Alicia really married Frederick, why did Hallie care?


    He stepped forward and slowly hugged her. There was a sh of sharpness in his eyes, but at the


    same time, he appeared apologetic.


    "Well stay here tonight!"
