Ice and Fire novel Chapter 800

They walked out of the apartment looking blank. A third person could never make out what they were even thinking. Tim went and got his car stopping it right before Alice. She quietly got in and they drove straight to his hotel.

Inside the hotel, they walked straight upto Tim's room. He opened the door for Alice to enter and walked in after her. Sombrely, as if on cue, Alice walked to the bed and sat on it. Tim turned around and saw his girlfriend, sitting on his bed, staring at the wall wistfully.

Tim slowly sat next to her and held her in his arms tenderly. "What's the matter, baby? What are you thinking about?"

"Greg and Violet," Alice said without looking up at him. "Who else would I be thinking of now?" she said and scowled, as she leaned onto Tim's strong shoulders.

Tim paused for a moment and held her closer. "You know, I can see that Greg loves Violet. He doesn't even like Cassie so much," he finally said, putting words to his thoughts.

Alice looked up at Tim this time and said, "Really... but... don't you think Cassie is the one who is always badgering him? She went all the way down the dark and vicious road! She hurt Violet and... she even went ahead and killed Violet's child! That poor innocent baby!" Alice could say no more.

She was transported back to Violet. The very thought of her best friend's accident made her feel awful.

Tim realised the pain that Alice was feeling and tenderly took her hand in his. He looked into her beautiful, sad eyes and said, "Yeah, I guess Cassie is the problem then."

Tim looked genuinely worried now. He frowned, his eyebrows close-knit and his eyes concerned. "It is going to be very difficult to make Cassie leave Greg alone. She is a ruthless woman and can go to any lengths."

Tim was a confident young man, but even he had no idea when it came to dealing with Cassie. What they had here, was a classic sociopath. Someone who had killed Violet's unborn child and framed an innocent person like Tina. She had even exposed private news to the public. This woman had no fear, no heart. She was as cruel as ice.

Tim's honest words made Alice think again. She went into deep thought.

Finally, Alice broke the silence. Her eyes suddenly sparkled with the confidence of a woman who knew what to do!

Alice smiled and said, "Looks like there is just one person who can deal with Cassie".

Tim was curious, he looked at Alice and asked, "Really? Who?" In his mind, he couldn't believe that such a person even existed.

"Well," said Violet, testily. Her face now shone with happiness and instead of worry and anxiety, it reflected that she had some hope! "Did you forget that Violet is from the Chu family? Her father is the CEO of the whole JC Group! He can easily take care of Cassie, without lifting a finger even!"

Tim was awed by this. "So... you are trying to say... her parents!" he asked. Tim had never met Jackson or Cherry ever before. But he had heard a lot about them. They were legendary figures of the town. From what he had heard, he knew how important they were.

Alice smiled wryly, "Well, not really her parents. We don't have to go that far. But there is another person who will take care of Cassie easily."
