Gluey Love Between Us novel Chapter 2316

Mrs. Hansen tee-heed as she put on a smile that didn't quite reach the eyes. "Miss Klein, I'm terribly sorry. I'm sure this is not that big a deal, just a fight between kids. As magnanimous as you are, please don't take it to heart. The business of the supermarkets..."

"I'm terribly sorry, but I still have to take back the ownership. The Clarke family is nothing if not chock-full of businessmen." Alice would never give in on this matter.

It didn't matter if she bullied her, but she wouldn't let go if it was her daughter.

While Juliet was still a child, Mrs. Hansen was a fifty-or-sixty-year-old elder, yet she'd dared to say such things to Juliet. Forget about thinking about it, just listening to it made her furious.

"You..." Mrs. Hansen was anxious, blood draining from her face. She'd really dug her own grave.

Her son would blame her. Thinking of this, her blood pressure rose instantly.

She slumped down, paralyzed on the ground.

Everyone was waiting for the encore. Was she going to make a scene?

"Lord have mercy on me! Why do I have such a hard life? I'm old, I can't breathe under such pressure." Mrs. Hansen launched into her sob story while occasionally sneaking glances at Alice.

Alice ignored her every move and said, "Mrs. Hansen, you don't have to do this. If you had any sympathy, you wouldn't have said those words to a child. Your words may cut deep for the rest of their lives."

After that, she pulled Juliet along and glanced at Henrick. "Juliet, Henrick, come on."

"Okey-dokey!" Holding his daughter's little hand, Henrick looked down at her and said, "Juliet, you don't have to come here anymore. I'll teach you in person. Piano-playing is my forte." He was confident that he could bring Juliet's skills to new heights.

"Of course, Dad. I've watched the footage of your piano competition when you were a child. You were good-looking even as a child. Marlon looks so much like you, Dad."

Juliet was very happy. Her father would personally teach her, so she would use the time to learn more.

Henrick smiled. He was so happy to have his daughter as a fan.

The family of three left happily under the eyes of many.

Bella seemed to have recognized Henrick. Her eyes jerking wide, she pursed her lips.

"Henrick Alwynn, an international celebrity. When did he become Juliet's father?"

She couldn't believe it!

"Oh my, what should we do?" Mrs. Hansen cried so hard that she fainted.

The crowd then dispersed, ignoring her.

On the way back, Josue and the butler were in the same car, and Alice and his family were in another.

Alice glanced at Henrick in the rearview mirror, who was chatting with his daughter, and couldn't help smiling.

The father and daughter smiled from ear to ear. The atmosphere was warm and happy!

Alice's heart was brimming with happiness, and it spread to her limbs and bones.

"Juliet, when I was young, I didn't have a father. It was not until later that I had a father. I, too, was bullied and scolded like today. So, don't take what happened today to heart, okay?"

Henrick knew that it was uncomfortable, angry, and painful for her, but he couldn't do anything about it.

At that time, he'd had to bear it and hadn't dared to tell his mother since she'd already had her fair share of sufferings to contend with. He hadn't wanted to add on to her sadness.

Juliet leaned against his arm and blinked her eyes. In fact, she was still a little sad. She whispered, "Dad, I'm not sad anymore when others say that to me now. When they had said that to me before I found you, I could only stare at them angrily. Because it was true that I didn't have a father, and I had nothing to refute."

"But things are different today. I have a father, and I can fight their words with confidence."

Her words deeply pierced his heart.

Alice's grip on the steering wheel gradually tightened!

She was most afraid that such a thing would happen to her daughter.

Sure enough, it did happen.

The journey back was not long. Juliet leaned against Henrick and soon drifted off to sleep.
