Chapter 433 Desires


    At the thought of Jacob, Jonathan''s mind returned to the news. Everyone now knew that the woman


    was Alice.


    She loved Jacob so much, and that was the reason why Jonathan looked down upon her. To his


    surprise, she managed to push Jacob off the cliff.


    She did that without hesitation. Jonathan realized this in an instant. With a sharp exhaling, he let go of


    her.


    "Well, I called you here today to talk about the wedding. Just so you know, I have a busy schedule, but


    I''d be unhappy if you didn''te. Forgive me for being too impulsive just now. Please don''t take what


    had just happened to heart."


    Alice did not usually pay much attention to him, but Jonathan''s words made sense. Nevertheless, their


    rtionship was far from reaching the point of marriage.


    However, they were going to get married soon. They even intended to invite Jacob toe. The first


    step of their ploy had started.


    What Alice wanted to see most was Jacob''s expression when he saw her marry another man. Not to


    mention, the man was his archenemy. Jacob would probably drop his jaw when that happened, and


    she would pay to see that.


    Would he be sad, happy, or stunned, or indifferent when that moment came?


    Alice could not guess what his reaction would be. In all honesty, she was actually afraid to face him.


    After all, Jacob probably no longer cared about her at all.


    How ironic! Just so she could see the look of regret on his face, she would bet her lifetime happiness


    on it. To make things worse, the results were yet to be known.


    Alice had already regretted it. Sadly, her regret meant nothing now.


    "Sure. I''ll forget what happened today," she replied indifferently after a long pause.


    The smile on Jonathan''s face did not fade away. It turned out that he did not have to lower himself to be


    on the same level as her. His story with her had just begun.


    Since they were not married yet, Jonathan was a little afraid of offending her. Once they were husband


    and wife, he would have a way to deal with her.


    But now was not the right time to break up with her. He should not give her tit for tat yet.


    "Well, let''s discuss our wedding, shall we? I called you her today, so that we could discuss about that."


    As Jonathan spoke, his grip tightened on her shoulder.


    Alice tilted her head and looked at his hand. Ever so slowly, she pushed his hand down. Thest thing


    she wanted to see was the obscene look on his face and to feel his hands on her.


    Sadly, she had no choice but to face such a man in the future. She coughed slightly at the thought of it.


    "Go ahead. I''m listening."


    Alice''s tone was cold and indifferent. Until now, she was still ufortable with what had happened.


    She had never been humiliated like that before!


    If anyone else knew about it, they would definitelyugh at her.


    On the other hand, she did not love this man either. That would exin why she was not qualified to


    demand loyalty from him.


    Jonathan did not seem to care about Alice''s attitude, and it showed on his sly smile. "I just want to tell


    you that I''ve already set a date. I''ll ask someone to arrange it. All you have to do is to cooperate with


    me."


    Upon saying that, he sat down and put his legs on the table in front of him, which made him look so


    unruly.


    Alice looked at him in utter shock. ''Why did he not tell me first?'' She bit her lips and looked at him, an


    undisguised astonishment in her eyes.


    "You... I... Jonathan..." Alice could not even say aprehensible sentence. It seemed that he


    thwarted her ns without him knowing.


    It took her a moment to calm down. She looked at Jonathan and asked, "Of course you''re the boss.


    Anyway, have you notified others already?"


    On her face was bitter smile. She did not even know when her own wedding would be.


    "Not yet. Why would I if I haven''t told you? We''re not in a hurry anyway. For now, I think the most


    important thing to deal with is Jacob."


    Jonathan voiced out his inner thoughts frankly. Since Alice loathed Jacob to the core, there was no


    need for him to hide those things from her.


    "Okay," Alice replied. For some reason, her eyes were filled with tears. It seemed like she and Jacob


    were indeed going to end in this way.


    At the mention of Jacob''s name, she was at a loss. Although she had been waiting for this moment,


    she still did not know how to face it. After all, he left a deep mark in her life that nobody else could


    make.


    The more she thought how significant he had been, the more unbearable everything felt.


    Alice had suffered endless humiliation from Jonathan. Even so, she thought that it was worth it.


    Unfaithful people must be punished the most in this world. This was how she felt about Jacob.


    "Leave it to me to tell him to attend the wedding. Knowing him, he''ll definitelye. You can humiliate


    him by then. Show the repercussions he''ll have to suffer when the timees."


    Alice clenched her hand fiercely. She was starting to feel deste again. Fortunately, she was able to


    regain herposure and make up her mind the next moment.


    "I want you to invite him. If I do this instead, I''m pretty sure he''ll refuse me right away. Besides, I don''t


    want to see his face. Well, it''s not only because I hate him, but also our rtionship is... stiff."


    Jonathan looked at Alice with cynical eyes. It seemed that he was just joking as there was no hint of


    seriousness in his eyes.


    "I think Jacob failed you the most. As the woman who loved him deeply in the past, you can attest that


    he deserves to live a miserable life."


    Jonathan crossed his arms on his chest, which made him look somewhat formidable. Perhaps Jacob''s


    name reminded him of many unpleasant things? Was it the humiliation and unwillingness that he had


    suffered before?


    With an inexplicable look in his eyes, he gazed at Alice. Logically speaking, he hated her too.


    Well, Jonathan thought that once a person had something to do with Jacob, that person would have to


    share the me for the rest of his life. This was what led Jonathan to hate Alice.


    To be frank, he had already known her existence long ago. Even so, he figured that Alice had no idea


    what indeed happened, so he did not think about it too much.


    "Don''t think highly of yourself. I agreed to marry you not only because of Jacob. In fact, I''ve sworn to


    myself that no matter what happens, I''ll be the wife of the CEO of the Shi Group. Look at me. I''m going


    to be who I want to be."


    Upon saying that, Alice cast a nce at Jonathan. Her promise had not been broken.

    Although love mattered to her, getting what she wanted was more important. Many years had already


    passed, yet she felt that nothing had changed.


    Maybe it did change without her noticing. Well, it did not matter anyway. Her goal of bing one of


    the upper ss was still there.


    "Do you have any idea when I''ll be truly happy?" Alice asked in an ethereal manner.


    Then, she looked at Jonathan in the eye calmly.


    "When?" he asked with his eyebrows furrowed. The woman in front of him seemed to be a little


    different from one he had imagined.


    Jonathan had always known that Alice was affectionate. However, he figured from the very beginning


    that she was not the type who would abandon everything for love.


    Alice might be a doting person, but she had a lot of desires.
