After an hour, they reached the Spring Seafood Cafeteria.
While not Alice’s preferred seafood cafeteria, she opted against dining where Daniel had, fearing it
would evoke painful
memories.
Theo, the considerate knight, unfailingly catered to Alice’s needs.
Thus, when Alice urged him to summon Josh and the others for a celebration, he promptlyplied,
luring Josh into joining.
As he made his way there, Josh felt a mix of nerves. The recorded group chat conversation involving
his brother Daniel and Vivian hade to his attention.
Worries of being ensnared in a trap crept in, yet Josh held faith that Theo would not be so malicious in
his summoning. Upon Josh’s arrival, Alice was already cing her order.
The handsome server enthusiastically rmended marbled beef to Alice. She arched a brow, batting
her eyshes yfully, and spoke, “Certainly, if you suggest it, I’ll go for it. So let’s see… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
um, eight portions to match the number of diners.”
With her order in, she handed a 20-dor bill to the waiter, requesting, “Also, could you visit the ice
dessert stall outside and fetch me an ice treat, please?”
The server blushed, gazing at her before nodding, “Miss, do not worry. I’ll bring you the most exquisite
one.”
Just as Josh, an observer of the scene, frowned and interjected, “Alice, what’s this behavior?
Remember, you’re a married woman. Cut out the flirting.”
In response, Alice curled her finger, beckoning him closer. As he leaned in, she yfully taunted,
“You…”
Before Josh could fully articte his sentence, Alice had seized his cor, asserting, “Come, tell me
when you discovered your brother was married to me?”
On the way to the seafood cafeteria, Alice had meticulously pieced together her interactions with
Daniel. She was confident that Josh hadn’t been privy to the truth from the outset.
Subsequently, gauging by his shift in demeanor on a particr day, it was likely the moment he
learned…
Josh’s expression faltered momentarily, and then he hurriedly exined, “Alice, I… I… I never meant to
deceive you. I… I was only concerned…”
Concerned about losing a cherished friend.
Concerned she would disregard him.
“It’s alright, I’m not upset. Your custom BMW has been confiscated,” Alice replied as she released her
grip on him. Then she invited him to sit beside her.
A smile adorned her face, yet her words held a resolute undertone.
However, the sadness in her eyes was unmistakable…
Alice was undeniably heartbroken today.
However, nobody dared to breach this delicate barrier, fearing it might exacerbate her pain.
When the dishes arrived, Alice continued as usual, savoring each bite.
Midway through, she set aside utensils and reached for her wine ss. Raising the ss, she said,
“My dearest friends, here. Let’s raise a toast to celebrate the hurdles on my path.”
Gazes were exchanged, and a brief pause ensued as everyone hesitated. Then, sses were lifted.
At this moment, akin to Alice, a sense of unease and sadness enveloped them all.
Perhaps they felt more anguish on Alice’s behalf.
“Feel free to drink. I will down this,” Alice said with a grin. Then, she tilted her head back to empty her
ss.
Resuming her meal, she tackled meat, tripe, and even items she usually avoided…
Witnessing this, Josh could not resist grasping her wrist as he said, “Don’t eat like this. It’s detrimental
to your stomach! If you’re upset, scold me, hit me. I’m ready to be your punching bag.”
He wished to spare her the pretense of strength and preferred if she did not put on a cheerful facade
despite her evident

“Why wouldn’t I be joyful? Though I was cheated on, my husband is none other than Mr. Kaur… He is
like the Go d of Wealth in Lonrid. A prominent figure,” said Alice as sheughed.
Refilling her ss with wine, she raised her ss and said, “To all of you, let’s continue toasting as we
celebrate my ascent into the realm of luxury where I will be an elite andtop-tier wealthy wife!”
