Chapter 235


    Frederick could not be more annoyed as his calls couldn''t get through. Although he was busy the


    whole day, he still left the house hurriedly. Frederick stopped his car as he reached Mrs. nchard''s


    house. At that moment, he saw the familiar white Bentley. His gaze instantly softened and his anger


    faded right away.


    Looking up, he froze after opening the car door.


    It was already eleven! Only a few lights were left on in the entire building. The rest were pitch ck.


    Reaching for his phone, Frederick made another call.


    "It''s still off!" Frederick sighed helplessly.


    However, he felt relieved after knowing that Alicia was at Flora''s ce. He decided not to disturb


    them. Thus, he drove back home after smoking a cigarette.


    It was a tiring night. When Frederick returned to Landrum Garden, his heart was more at peace


    after a shower.


    Laying in bed, Frederick was dozing off as he


    hugged Alicia''s pillow. "That woman is a handful!"


    "Fine! I''ll go again tomorrow!"


    Frederick was hung up over this, therefore he purposely got up early in the morning. He swiftly


    drove his car to Flora''s to make sure that he wouldn''t miss Alicia.


    Frederick let out a sigh of relief as he saw Alicia''s car still parked at the same ce. Then, he took a


    small nap in the car.


    Frederick shuddered at the sound of notification and woke up. He nced at the Bently to check if it


    was there before he checked his phone.


    "Spam message!"


    After deleting the message, Frederick waspletely awake. He decided to go online but the


    moment he opened a browser, a piece of news caught his eye.


    "One-night couple, one-night stands. Booming business!"


    The girl in the photo looked like Alicia. The man was...


    Although the photo was dark, the clothes clearly looked like what Alicia wore the day before.


    Frederick clicked on it and a few photos popped out. Some were showing Alicia''s side while others


    showed her back. Jeremy was clearly the man in the photos.


    At that moment, Frederick could feel his heart raging with anger.


    Taking a closer look at the photos, they seemed to be taken on the street. The man was holding a


    shirt, seemingly trying to put it on while Alicia was holding to the hem of the shirt. Although the


    photos were blurry, Alicia seemed to be carrying a lot of shopping bags.


    Their actions made it look like Alicia bought Jeremy clothes. They looked intimate.


    But, deep down, Frederick could feel that Jeremy was not happy. Alicia was tiptoeing as well as if


    she was rushing.


    Was Alicia in a rush to give Jeremy the clothes?


    Was she the same money-minded Alicia?


    Frederick was surrounded by a cloud of doubt. However, he couldn''t shake off the feeling of how


    familiar the ce looked.


    Thest photo in the link showed Alicia walking into a hotel.


    Looking at the photo, the hotel was somewhere old and shabby. Alicia went into the hotel with her


    hands full but left empty-handed. The two photos were taken thirty minutes apart!


    At that moment, Frederick quickened his pace in reading the news.


    "Who made this? It even became the headline for today''s news."


    "What is happening? Why go to a shabby hotel? Was she out of her mind?"


    Even if Alicia wanted to have an affair with Jeremy, she wouldn''t choose such a shabby ce!


    Jeremy didn''t seem to be that poor that he would let Alicia buy things for him.


    The article was written with all kinds of innuendos. In short, it was saying that modern women were


    sleazy andzy. Thus, they would sell their bodies at hotels for a quick buck.


    Few photos of different women going to hotels like this were attached as well. They made several


    trips in one night, wore different outfits, and had a different man each time. The article was actually


    highlighting how this sort of business was booming! Moreover, the article was rmending


    popr ces to get such services.


    For some unknown reason, Frederick had a feeling that the article was targeting Alicia.


    It was no doubt that Alicia was the one in the photo seen at the hotel but Frederick believed that


    nothing happened between them! Frederick was certain that Alicia was at Flora''s the night before.


    Besides, he wasn''t surprised if she stayed at that shabby hotel since they had a huge fight. From


    what Frederick knew, Alicia was frugal. She was so stingy that she wouldn''t hesitate to stay at a


    ce like this.


    No matter how much money Frederick gave her, Alicia would save the money rather than spend it.


    Thus, Frederick gave her a monthly allowance instead of a credit card. She would be happy if he


    gave extra money to her every now and then.


    The photos were probably taken before she went back to Flora''s.


    Frederick deduced that Alicia wanted to stay in the hotel originally but it was too dirty for her. Hence,


    she checked out and finally returned to Flora''s.


    But the question was, who coincidentally took these photos and made it into this piece of news?


    Moreover, what happened between Alicia and Jeremy? Alicia was obviously the one who bought


    the bag of men''s clothing. However, the clothes did not seem to be high- end products, considering


    they didn''t even have proper packaging.


    Why did Alicia buy men''s clothing?


    Filled with doubt, Frederick took a glimpse at the door and saw Alicia was walking out of the


    building. He looked at the time and it was only 7 in the morning.


    Why was she this early?


    Thankfully, Frederick anticipated this! Otherwise, he would have missed her.


    Locking his phone, Frederick hurried out of the car.


    Meanwhile, the moment Alicia turned on her phone, it couldn''t stop ringing. Multiple messages were


    coming in at once. Going through the messages, Alicia deleted all of them as they were just someBelongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    junk messages such as vouchers, purchase with purchase coupon, and other unimportant


    notifications. Of course, she didn''t know that countless messages were notifying her of Frederick''s


    calls when her phone was off as the messages were dyed.


    Alicia walked with her head lowered. She nned to visit Nichs before going to work. Then, she


    nned to slip away from work and visit Martin in the hospital. Suddenly, a tall figure stepped in


    front of her and stopped her. Alicia recognized the brightly polished leather shoes. Stunned for a


    moment, Alicia raised her head slowly.


    Looking at the man standing tall, Alicia''s eyes started to fume in anger.


    Putting away her phone, she walked away from Frederick after giving him a piercing re.


    "Ally!"


    Frederick pulled her in, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said, "It''s been a day and you''re


    still mad at me? What happened yesterday was a misunderstanding! Danica''s hair got stuck on my


    button."


    Even Frederick didn''t know how that happened. Two of them were talking and Frederick angered


    Danica as he rejected her request. Then, the both of them got into an altercation. As a result, her


    hair was caught between his cor clip and button. Danica refused to cut her hair. That was the


    moment when Alicia came in.
