Chapter 240
“Shut up, Vivian,” Theo said sternly as he released his grip on Alice. He then turned, picked up a cup from the room, hurled it fiercely towards Vivian.
Vivian’s expression turned somber as she swiftly evaded the incoming cup.
and
“Vivian, do you have no shame? Even if you and Daniel grew up together, it does not matter! Our Alice is legally his wife! Your closeness to him makes you a third party!” Theo shouted, his voice boomed with anger.
He discarded his usual poise and etiquette in front of the camera. He yelled vehemently while tossing objects at Vivian, saying, “You, despicable homewrecker! What a sc umbag! Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to deceive Alice like this? F uck your ancestors! I’ll fight both of you!”
Nurses rushed into the room upon hearing the commotion. Some of them even pulled out their phones to capture the unfolding scene.
Alice pinched herself hard, the pain jolting her back to consciousness. She swiftly closed the hospital room door and approached Theo. She gently gripped his arm, and, in a composed tone, said, “Theo, it’s not worth resorting to violence.”
Tears streamed down Theo’s face uncontrollably, his anger causing his voice to tremble. He took a deep breath, pointing at Daniel, and continued his tirade. He cursed, saying, “Daniel, you deceitful scoundrel! You tricked Alice! Let me tell you, only someone as vile as you could betray her trust! I… I…”
Frustrated, Theo retrieved his phone and, without hesitation, opened the group chat he shared with Frankie and others. He sent a voice message, saying, “Frankie, you all need to return immediately! Alice is getting bullied! Come back and teach this rascal a lesson! He and Vivian have no shame!”
“Theo,” Alice called out, grasping his shoulder as she shook her head. “Take a moment to calm down. Let me handle this, alright?”
“But…” Theo stammered.
“No ‘buts. I can handle this,” Alice asserted, saying. Taking a deep breath, she turned to face Daniel with a determined
smile.
Daniel’s gaze grew complex. He stammered hesitantly, “Alice, in fact…”
Alice brushed a strand of hair aside, her composure unwavering. She looked at the two figures before her, saying, “So, it seems like the both of you are much closer than what it appeared to be.
“I sincerely apologize. I should have cooperated with all of you and unraveled the truth later. This way, your games can be more captivating, am I right?”
“It’s not…” Daniel said, but his voice was caught in his throat. Regardless of his eloquence in the business realm, facing Alice now left him speechless.
Especially now, as Alice wore an elegant smile that seemed like a mask, he found it even harder to speak.
“Josh and I share a strong friendship, and in the entertainment industry, there’s no conflict between the Kaur family and the Hand family. So, I believe there is no reason for you to treat me as a plaything, is there?” Alice spoke each word with a poised smile.
She refused to let them belittle her, especially not allowing Vivian to mock her.
She needed to stay resolute, maintain her smile, and not expose her wounds for them to mock.
Even if it pained her, she would endure it all.
She had done nothing wrong, and she did not deserve this mistreatment.
Daniel regarded her with a blend of emotions, and his brows furrowed. His words tangled in his throat, unsure of which to speak.
He had reh ear sed his confession countless times, but revealing the truth in this situation was beyond his expectations.
Fear gripped him.
He was afraid of her potential rejection.
He was afraid that she would bid him farewell forever.
Alice crossed her arms, her gaze shifting to Vivian, who still stood by Daniel even now. She said, “Miss Hand, there’s something you should know. I’m not a naive, gullible girl.
“Even if your deception led me astray, I would not weep like a fool and cling onto Daniel, burdening him with trouble.”
