Chapter 219
That night in Birmingham, another person’s heart was restless as well. The doorbell rang at the Gabriel
vi.
When the servant heard the bell, she impatiently answered it. As soon as she opened the door, she
covered her nose when she smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.
“Allie, wee home.”
The maid had gotten used to Allie being drunk every night. She shouted a few times and called all the
maids in the house downstairs. Then, they carried Allie, who waspletely drunk, to the sofa
together.
The bartender from the bar took Allie home that day, and it was the third time this week. The servant
gave the bartender fifty bucks and let him go just like she used to do.
“If she goes to the bar tomorrow night, you can’t let her drink so much again. To be honest, I’m worried
that something bad might happen to her if shees home sote at night. After all, Allie’s getting
marriedter and she needs to be safe and sound.”
The bartender nodded and said, “Please don’t worry. Even if she gets drunk again, 1 promise I’ll bring
her back safely.”
It was a good opportunity to make money, so he wouldn’t let it go.
Just as the bartender left, the servant heard someone vomiting in the living room. Immediately
afterward, the other servants all let out a gasp.
She instantly knew what kind of miserable chaos the living room would look like.
“Okay, stop screaming and move! Get her bath ready, prepare the antidote, and get a new carpet.”
Just as they fumbled around, they heard an exasperated voice from upstairs saying, “Allie, what’s
wrong with you? Why did you drink so much again?”
Shirley ran downstairs immediately after saying this. Just as she saw the puddle of vomit on the couch,
she frowned and became even more annoyed. She scolded her, “What’s going on, Allie? What are you
doing? If your fiancé’s family knew you would do this, they would definitely hate you! Do you still want
to get married or not?”
Allie, though very drunk, knew what her mother was talking about. She staggered up from the couch,
sobbing and thenughing. She said, “Oh, no, I don’t want to get married at all! Hey, why don’t you get
married, mom? You can find me a stepfather!”
Immediately afterward, Shirley pped Allie across the face, and the crisp sound of the p echoed
through the living room.
Shirley’s hand shook as she held it up. She said angrily, “Allie, you’re crazy! How dare you say that!”
Allie covered her face and immediately looked less drunk. She said through gritted teeth, “You can hit
me, mom. You know what, you’d better beat me to death! Then,

sleeping at night! You know, I can see my father’s face when I close my eyes every night.”
Everyone in the living room went quiet. Then, the servants looked at each other in surpriseN?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Shirley’s face turned pale with fear. She red at the maids and said, “Hey, what are you guys doing
here?! Allie’s drunk now, so she’s talking nonsense. Don’t tell anyone what she said, or I’ll kick you
out!”
With that, she yanked Allie by her shirt, staggered her to the second floor, and heaved her onto the
bed.
Allie’s long hair clung to her face in a mess.
Shirley said to her furiously. “Damn! Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?
Do you want to put me in jail?”
Allie sat up from the bed with her arms and cried out loud, “No, I didn’t want to put you in jail. Mom,
you’re sending me to hell. Did you see that my dad left us all his fortune? But, you still suspected him.
You had no proof that he would change his mind and gave it all to Anna at all, but you poisoned and
killed him.”
Shirley clenched her fists and said angrily. “Enough! Shut up! You know that this money was supposed
to be ours in the first ce! I was touched when he said in his will that he would give it all to us. But,
Allie, if he keeps living, he might change his mind.”
Allie covered her face and said in a dull voice, “No! That’s not true! I know that you did it because
you’re so greedy. You killed him because you wanted it all!”
Tears slid down the corners of Shirley’s eyes as she closed them. She felt remorse at that moment.
if I had known that Frank would leave all his possessions to my daughter and me, / wouldn‘t have done
that to him. But, since it had already happened, there was nothing/ could do about it. Shirley thought.
“Allie, honey, listen to me. What is done is already done, and there’s nothing we can do to change the
past. So, you can’t think about it all the time. All you have to remember is that your dad died from
illness, and it has nothing to do with us.”
Shirley then sat down on the edge of the bed and took Allie into her arms, saying soothingly, “It will be
a big day tomorrow! You‘re going to be the president of the group! So, you should be happy about that.
I’ve been looking forward to this for so long, and it’s finally going to happen!”
Allie shook her head and cried helplessly, unable to catch her breath. Ever since she learned that her
father had left the majority of his estate to her and her mother in his will, she could no longer turn a
blind eye to what her mother had done.
Whenever she closed her eyes at night, she could always see her father’s face.
His face would be gentle at first, then it would turn fierce, and he would choke her like an evil spirit from
hell.
“Allie, I’ve been so good to you. Why did you kill me?”
“No! It’s not true! Listen to me, I didn’t do anything, dad!”
Allie had a nightmare and woke up to find herself covered in a cold sweat. As soon as she opened her
eyes, she saw the time and date on the clock at her bedside.
She stared at it nkly for a moment, then remembered that it was the day she would be the
president of the group.
She had to hold a public equity meeting and have the board of directors vote for the executive
president.
“Allie, are you awake yet? Hurry up!”
She heard Shirley call her at the door. Shirley sounded very cheerful, but it made Allie feel a surge of
nausea and even the urge to vomit.
