Chapter 198
The heavens would not give her the chance to regret!
"You''re the doctor, I trust your expertise! If the surgery will make my father get better, I''ll discuss it
with my mother. Money is not a problem but I hope my father''s safety and lowering the riskse
first. I don''t want to lose him..."
Alicia pleaded with red eyes. Her father was headstrong and had doted on her like a princess. He
ended up like this because of her. She could not let her father pass away no matter the cost.
"I understand! I''ll do my best!"
Afraid that she would misunderstand, Marshall''s attitude took aplete change. His speech and
actions were serious and professional. He could not help but pity her and eventually handed over a
tissue.
"Thank you!"
When she walked out of the hospital, she was still feeling a little down.
She had taken the money just to see how coldblooded and ruthless Frederick could have treated
her. It would be best if she took the opportunity to end everything and get the divorce agreement.
Who knew, there was no more turning back for her, regardless of her intentions!
No matter what, she had to keep the money.
She just had to apany some clients; she could surely think of a n to get away!
The money was already hers anyway!
She started making some small preparations for hering ''death sentence''. If she had pulled this
through, he would sign the divorce agreement. This was better than dragging it on and on. Days
had felt like years and she could not stand it!
Lost in her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang. Her heart pained again as she looked at it. She
quickly answered the call and broke into a smile.
"Grandma-"
"Ally! What have you been up to? Why didn''t youe over during the weekend? Our rtives
gave me so many things and I''ve kept them for you! They''re almost a box full! You cane and
choose when you''re free! There are also a few colorful purses, they''ve told me that these fit young
girls the best. They''re new designs and very pretty, you can choose first before calling Hallie and
Caroline over!"
As Alicia listened to Mrs. Clements, she felt bitter in her heart. Since she quarreled with Frederick,
she had been in a bad mood. She called her once before but did not pay a visit. After that, Mrs.
Clements had called again and she politely declined to meet her. She did not think that she would
call her once more just after a few days.
She could feel that Mrs. Clements truly cared for her but she was about to get a divorce. Given her
situation, she would be questioned and despised by others if she visited her in the future!
She did not want to y up to people of power and involve her family in trouble again.
Hence, she had only been making phone calls recently. She did not go for a visit.
"I have been keeping them for you just in case they take them away when theye over! Ahem..."
"Grandma, is your throat still sore? I made some honey lemon preserve but I''m a little busy these
days and I can''t meet you. I''ll send it over to you, make sure to drink it with warm water! I''ll go seeN?velDrama.Org is the owner.
you when I''m free and collect my gifts by then!"
Alicia was ufortable lying to her. However, as she thought to herself that maybe, someone
would rece her very soon, she bit back her reluctance.
"Grandma, you should take care of yourself. Don''t stay upte at night, rest early!"
"Alright, alright! Ally, if you have time,e over to my house to bake cookies! It doesn''t have to be
a weekend, you cane in the evening too! I''ve been free recently!"
"Okay!"
After chatting with Mrs. Clements for a while, Alicia felt more depressed after she hung up.
Over the years, there were fewer rtives who had kept in touch, not to mention having someone
who would dote on her so much. She was unwilling to part with Mrs. Clements! Sniffing, she packed
the honey lemon preserve and called the courier service.
It was another busy day. After a meeting, Frederick went through his phone when he noticed that it
was already Thursday.
The weekend wasing soon, would it be that he still could not go home again this week?
He was unhappy!
In the elevator, he changed his destination and went straight to Chet''s office.
Chet had just returned to his office after finishing his business outside. He was getting a report from
the secretary. "Are the clients at Hiddleson Hotel settled? The thirty- first- floor guests are very
important investors! Was everything alright?"
"They''ve all checked-in! There are no problems!"
"Okay!"
Sealing the documents on hand, he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Andrews of Pacific Group is with a friend this time. He''ll also be staying on the
thirty-first floor. I booked room 3118 for him. He''s a famous, lucky upstart who doesn''t know
anything except investing ording to trends! He''s a very good target to invite as an investor
though. Make arrangements to treat him politely and don''t take his words to heart!"
"Okay! I''ll keep it in mind!" The secretary was very professional and wrote all the points down.
"Also, I arranged for an escort to apany him. I heard that he likes this stuff! You make the call
later, it''s best if she can go over today! Since there''s plenty of time, we can handle any
unprecedented happenings!"
Chet''s orders were very clear, they had to secure the upstart.
Nodding, the secretary also wrote this down.
Just as they were talking, the door opened and Frederick walked in.
"Mr. Clements." The secretary was so surprised that her voice tensed up. She did not expect him to
come over.
Rising to his feet, Chet was also taken by surprise. He waved his hand. "You can go first!"
He watched the secretary leave before tidying his messy desk full of documents. He then
approached Frederick. "What''s the matter? Is it urgent? Would you like coffee or tea?"
He could not wait to call and came in person! Did he want to scare everyone in his office? Chet
wondered.
"There''s no need! I was in a meeting and your office was nearby. What about the actor I asked you
to look for?"
Hitting his forehead, Chet remembered.
"I''ve already made all the arrangements. I''ve been so busy I have forgotten to tell you! He''s rough-
looking but quite knowledgeable; I''ve met him! His face is born fierce so he takes up roles like
perverts, robbers, or murderers. He looks intimidating but is an honest man who even speaks quite
slowly! I''ve asked around, he''s apassionate person. He would go around working as an extra
just to earn more money because his wife isn''t well. They are a loving couple! I think he''s a fit for
the job!"
Turning around, he poured two sses of water.
"I''ve contacted him and gave him some information. I also told a film director to guide him on what
he should do, a ten-minute act would be no problem! Wouldn''t we be going too? He would be on
standby and coordinate with our time if we give him ten times the wages! When would you like it to
be?"
"Let''s make it tomorrow night!"
