The president's seventh bride

Chapter 66: The Hidden Secret

"Mr. Carlos, welcome."

A fat man who came towards them attentively and extended his fat hand to shake hands with Carlos,

obviously was the organizer of this reception, and judging from his dress, he was an important person

as well.

"This is Mrs. Noel-Baker, right?"

"Yes, nice to meet you."

Alicia politely extended her hand, secretly giving a sign of relief, fortunately he did not call her the

Seventh Mrs. Noel-Baker, otherwise she would be very embarrassed.

After greeting each other, the fat man and Carlos chatted about business matters, Alicia was bored, so

she found a quiet place to sit down alone, sipping champagne while observing all kinds of people at the

reception.

In the crowd, she saw a stern look from a woman, with her eyes full of jealousy.

Carlos was a notorious guy in many girls’ eye, but he had plenty of admirers as well. She consciously

looked away, so as not to trigger a silent war.

But to her surprise, as she looked away, the woman slowly walked towards her.

"What’s up?"

She asked, raising her head to look at her.

"Don’t you know to stand up and greet when you see your Senpai?"

"Senpai?" She frowned, "I don't know you, right?"

The woman snorted, "Don’t you know out of courtesy, you should stand up and ask 'can I help you?

Instead of being rude and asking 'What's up.'"

Alicia smiled helplessly, thinking she was another bitch looking for her trouble, she still did not stand up,

"If you think it is unfair I am sitting while you are standing, then you can sit down as well, there is a lot

of space for you to sit."

"You really are silver-tongued, right? No wonder recently everyone is rumored that Carlos meets his

nemesis, at the beginning I do not believe it, but now, I think the rumor is true."

This woman turned out to be Carlos’s admirer. It was really a bad day!

"Miss, you are wrong, I am not Carlos's nemesis, to be precise, I am the one who ends his fate of flash

marriage."

"Shame on you."

The woman suddenly reveals a hideous look, gritting her teeth and said, "No women can end Carlos's

fate of flash marriage. Do not think you are beautiful, so that you can say whatever you want! Doesn’t

your mother teach you to be a lady?"

"And does your mother teach you to be a lady? If your mother have taught you, you would not have

come to get wild with me for no reason!"

The woman poured half a glass of champagne in her hand onto Alicia's face, and after a short moment

of shock, Alicia did not show any weakness in her counterattack, pouring the champagne in her hand

onto her face as well.

The woman may not have suffered such a humiliation, reaching out to slap Alicia, but suddenly her

hand was grabbed tightly, she turned her head to look back in anger, skimming to see the person

holding her hand, suddenly her anger ran away -

"Carlos... "

"Rebecca, how dare you to touch my woman, do you want to die?"

Alicia then knew that this arrogant woman was called Rebecca, but she still didn't know her.

"Carlos, she is your woman, am I not? Do you know how did she talk to me?"

"No matter how she talked to you, you deserve it. Get out of my sight right now, I don't want to see you

for one more second."

Rebecca felt very sad and humiliated, she then cried out loudly, "How can you be so cruel to me, after

all I am you ex-wife, and I am still in love with you."

"I don't feel any affection to you."

Carlos replied her firmly and heartlessly.

"Then what's better about this woman? Is she more beautiful than me? Or more capable than me? Or

kinder than me?"

"She is prettier than you, more capable than you, and more importantly, she is smarter than you. Take

this matter as an example, if your positions are switched, she will never find you trouble like a shrew,

because she knows that this will only make me more dislike you, and you, a stupid woman, dare to talk

to me about our ties of husband and wife. How ridiculous!"

Rebecca suffered a more serious blow, but also a bigger humiliation, she skimmed a look at the crowd

of onlookers, with shame and anger, she covered her face and ran away wildly, giving a terrifying gaze

at Alicia, as if she was about to eat her alive.

After such a dramatic scene, Carlos was not in the mood to stay longer, he leaned down and asked the

woman next to him in a low voice, "Do you want to go home?"

Alicia nodded heavily, "Yes."

On the way back, Alicia was silent, Carlos glanced at her from time to time, "If you have any

dissatisfaction, just say it."

"Which number she is?"

He was stunned, "What?"

"That woman just now, isn't she your ex-wife? Which number she is?"

"The third, oh no, the fourth."

Alicia's face sank, "Such a thing will happen more often in the future, right?" After all, he had six wives

before her, which meant that she, in addition to Rebecca, had five enemies she had never met.

"It will never happen again."

"How can you be sure?"

"Of the ex-wives, only Rebecca is the most unreasonable, so she is also the only woman I have ever

slapped."

Alicia heard him saying this, feeling a bit relieved. According to her current situation, dealing with Mia

already caused her enough headache. She could not handle more enemies.

At the Cloud Mansion, she just got off the car as her cell phone rang, she glanced at the number, it was

from Dillon, then said nervously, "You go in first, I have to take a call."

Carlos then walked into the villa first. Alicia found a hidden place and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Alicia, if you have the time now, just come out to meet me."

"Have you come to B City again?"

"Yes."

She pinched her brow and said helplessly, "I can not go out right now. If you have something to talk to

me, just say it now."

"You really can not go out?"

"Yes... "

"I know you have no time to meet me, so I take the initiative to come to you, come out to see me now."

She was shocked, "Where are you?"

"Just outside of your front door."

Alicia hung up the phone in a hurry, then ran to the direction of the door. Just now inadvertently she

seemed to see a familiar figure, and thought it was an illusion, but it turned out to be true.

When she arrived at the door, she looked around and saw Dillon's ghost-like figure in a dense bush.

"Uncle Dillon, what brings you here at this late hour?"

She asked with some displeasure. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Dillon said with a gloomy face, "Felix is sick and has been crying and asking to see you, what are you

going to do?"

She already knew the purpose of Dillon coming to her, and her mood became very bad, "Then do you

take him to see the doctor?"

"Yes, but it’s useless, the doctor said it can not be healed with medicine."

"I'll go to see him this weekend."

"Just to see him? Aren’t you going to stay?"

Dillon was aggressive.

"I haven’t handled the things well here, after I..."

"I give you ten days to deal with it, my patience has been worn out by you, this is the deadline, don't

blame me for being merciless then."

He was another person who threatened her. Alicia really wanted to vent out the anger in her heart, but

she had to swallow it. This was her life, she was destined to have an unusual life.

"I know, you should go back."

With a despondent nod, she turned around and disappeared from the sight of Dillon who was staring at

her back coldly.

Keeping her head down, she kept walking forward until she hit a man, she asked in a panic, "Why

didn't you get in?"

Carlos pointed to Dillon's back outside the door, "Your relative come to borrow money from you again?"

"Well, yes."

Alicia replied with her eyes looking away.

"Where does he come from, although Colton is not a super rich man, but he can’t have such a poor

relative, right?"

"He is from my mother's family."

"Oh."

He nodded meaningfully, "Then why didn't you lend it to him?"

"He's a gambler, and will never return my money."

"But it's annoying that he always comes to you like this, so lend the money to him next time."

"There always will be another time, and it will never end."

"That's true, so next time if he comes to you, you can just avoid him and let me deal with him."

Alicia took a deep breath, "No, I can handle it myself."

Being threatened by two people at the same time, one giving her a week, the other giving her ten days,

Alicia felt she was about to melt down.

She couldn't sleep in her room, so she got up and came to Carlos's room, leaving her pride behind and

was ready to talk to him again.

Seeing her murmuring and trying to say something, Carlos asked her to sit down first, "Have a seat and

then talk to me."

After she sat down, Alicia's hands were twisted together, and she mustered up the courage to ask,

"Can't you really love me?"

Carlos was shocked, and a bit awkward, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"I want to ask you for every moment, not just out of sudden."

Carlos felt very guilty, but he could not give her a Yes or a No. He knew she was a tough woman, but

she was weak at some times. He really could not bear hurting her again.

Alicia was a smart woman, and she knew how awkward Carlos was now, so she smiled bitterly, "

Forget it, if you don’t want to answer my question. Let it be."

She then got up and walked to her room sadly. The moment the door closed, her tears fell down

immediately.

If her mother were alive and saw her being so useless. How disappointed she would be. She must be

more disappointed than she was now.
