Chapter 93
"I can''t hear her, I can''t hear her -" Alicia was desperately trying to get away.
Alicia rushed as she threw everything into the car and drove away quickly. The moment she
sessfully drove away, she felt rxed.
She had perfectly avoided an attack. Oh, yeah!
She turned on some light music and returned home in a good mood.
Lindsay was still waving her hands behind Alicia. She was obviously a little out of breath. She
thought, "Why did she run away so fast? I''m not a monster!"
With a burst of remorse in her heart, she turned back. Before even taking two steps, she saw two
fashionable and beautiful young women chatting with smiles on their faces. Their hands were
pointing in the direction where Alicia left.
"Hey, where did she get her earrings? I really like them! Those butterflies look so beautiful!"
"That''s right! It''s so fashionable! We can buy two pairs, one long and the other short. Then, we can
make an asymmetrical match just like her. How great would that be! We should not have hesitated
just now. We should have just asked her!"
"It''s the first time I''ve seen such a delicate pair of butterfly earrings! I used to have one, but it has
always made my face look big. Apart from going out casually, I don''t have any other chance to wear
it! I can''t wear it at work as it''s too ostentatious. But I still like it, thus, I still keep mine! She''s so slim
and elegant. She even has a beautiful face. I''m sure she looks good in everything..."

"But, from the sparkle and style, it doesn''t look cheap at first nce either. I think we might not even
be able to afford it even if we asked!"
"Now that you''ve mentioned it, it seems like we have nothing to regret! Sometimes, it also depends
on fate to own something!"
Butterfly earrings? Upon hearing it, Lindsay''s face changed. When she saw the twodies pointing
at their phones, Lindsay snatched it from them. Sure enough, the two of them took a picture of
Alicia. The butterfly earrings on her ears were truly dazzling!
"Hey! Who are you? Why did you take our phone?" one asked.
"She''s crazy! Is this a daytime robbery?" the other asked.
They snatched it back, and they were not in a good mood anymore. By this time, Lindsay became
angrier.
She told the two of them angrily, "The girl in this picture is my friend! You''ve secretly taken pictures
of my friend, and you have vited her privacy! Should I call the police?"
She yelled, and the two women were shocked. They quickly deleted the photo on their phone.
"Something''s wrong with her!" they said.
They nced at each other for a while before walking away quickly.
Lindsay was still at the same spot clenching her fists, her expression dark. Suddenly, she recalled
the scene she saw two days ago. She seemed to remember seeing Jeremy''s car parked in front of
Alicia''s workce.
Could it be that the two of them have gotten back together?
Back home, Alicia ced the things she had bought neatly. Then, Alicia went to help her mother
with the stall for a while. The business was good that day. Because of Alicia''s arrival, Mrs.
nchard closed her stall earlier.
Normally, Mrs. nchard would close the stall at 8 o''clock in the evening when she was alone. After
all, she was a woman. Safety was a priority for her. On that day, the two of them returned home at
halfpast six.
"Ally, don''t buy these foods in the future anymore. I can''t eat all of it alone, and it would be a
waste! Have you eaten? We have some food at home. I''ll cook some for you! It won''t take long!"
she said.
"Alright!"
In the kitchen, Alicia felt a sense of bitterness in her heart as she observed her mother preparing
the food.
"Mom, you should stop working at night in the future. Working for a whole day is so tiring! We are
out of debt now. If I work more, we can then pay for Dad''s medical bills..."
It had only been three years, but her mother''s hands had gotten so much rougher.
"It''s not tiring! I''ll get bored if I don''t do anything. I feel happy to go out every day, walk with the
neighbors, and talk to guests asionally too! I can even relieve your burdens! I only wish that your
father gets better soon!"
Mrs. nchard took out the food as she said this. Alicia separated them into two bowls before they
started eating. When they were almost finished, Mrs. nchard asked Alicia a question.
"Ally, are you... doing well?"
She knew what her mother wanted to ask. Hence, Alicia smiled sweetly.
"Of course, I''m doing very well! Mom, don''t worry. Frederick treats me very well! Look, he just gave
me a pair of earrings! It''s beautiful, isn''t it?"
Patting her daughter''s head, Mrs. nchard also smiled. "My daughter is the most beautiful!"
Alicia held her mother''s hand. After hesitating for a while, she spoke frankly.
"Mom, our rtionship is still shallow, and I don''t want to... have too much to do with him. No one
knows what will happen in the future! But, I will live a good life every day. No matter what happens
in the future, I will be good and filial to you! When I am rich, I will buy a big house and we will live
there!"
"Silly child! I understand! Don''t worry about me! I''m fine now! If you have time, go and see your
father. Come back when you are free too. My life is peaceful and fulfilling! When your father gets
better, I will be fine too! You have grown up, you will get married sooner orter! As long as you are
fine, I will be happy too, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Alicia''s voice sounded a little choked when she looked at her loving mother.
"Hurry up and eat! The food''s getting cold! I''ve especially left the shrimp that Aunt McGowan has
given us to you. I know you like it!"
While they were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"It''s sote. Who could it be? I''m going to open the door!" Alicia said.
After getting up, Alicia walked out first. When she saw who it was through the peephole, she rolled
her eyes at once. As soon as she opened the door, a furious voice came.
"Who do you think you are? How the h*ll did you teach your daughter?" Lindsay scolded.
Alicia gave Lindsay a nce as her face darkened too.
"Be polite to my mother in the future! Don''t you have any manners? No one asked you toe! I
don''t know who''s the shameless one. You came without an invitation. You have continued to do so
for over a year!"
"You''re here! That''s perfect!" Lindsay gloated.
When Lindsay saw Alicia, she got furious.
"It seems like I don''t have to find someone to pass on the message! I am pregnant with Jeremy''s
child. We will be engaged and married on the 10th of next month! He is my fiance now! How can
you hook up with him? Are you really that shameless? Do you think he wille back to you after
wearing the earrings, making a phone call, and recalling the past with him? Quit dreaming! I am the
only one in his heart right now!" she scolded.
Alicia sneered.
Alicia did not even want to look at her.
"Lindsay, are you having a delusional disorder, or are you out of your mind? Why are you here in
the middle of the night? I''m warning you, don''te to disturb my mother in the future, or I''ll sue
you for harassment! Also, I''m not short of men at present, and I''m not interested in discarded
garbage. Don''te to me whenever you feel insecure! I''m busy! I don''t have time to serve you!"
"Are you still going to deny it? You are clearly guilty! There''s evidence on your ears! B*tch—"
Lindsay raised her hand in anger. Suddenly, cold water was poured on her.
"Watch your mouth! You are barricading my door in the middle of the night. Who do you think you
are? Get out of here! Our family does not wee a brat like you! Not now, not ever!" Mrs.
nchard scolded.
