Chapter 170
The photos were obviously taken secretly. One of the pictures was taken at the university. Alicia had her arms hooked around Jeremy's neck as she looked at him intently on the beautiful and picturesque street...
Another picture was of both of them sitting under a gigantic tree on a lawn. The sun was setting with green trees as part of the scene. There were books on the side. The man was looking at her dotingly, stroking her soft long hair. Alicia was lying on the man's lap and she looked as tame as a sheep!
There were other pictures too. Pictures of them quarreling, kissing, hugging, and all kinds of sweet and lively scenarios!
Just by looking at these photos, Frederick could imagine the sweet and romantic moments the two of them had together.
Somehow, he was annoyed. With a wave of his hand, he threw everything away.
Chet sighed softly and made a cup of coffee for him. "Take a breather! It’s all in the past!"
"If it is in the past, why are there so many pictures?" Who knew what more happened between them that hasn't been uncovered?
Frederick's heart was a wreck as his overwhelming emotions took over.
"If you have created memories with Miss Rudolph by taking pictures together, you would have tons of them too!" Chet's words were like a wet blanket, which instantly shut Frederick's mouth.
Sitting down, Chet explained to him.
"St. Abbott University is a famous private university in Bayton City for the rich. The Blanchard family used to be a famously wealthy family in Bayton City. Her father's name is Fabian Blanchard and his family used to own a chain of restaurants. His company, The Delish Food & Co was big and listed! Rumor has it that he is of good character, generous, and upright. He has a wonderful marriage and the family is happy. He only has one daughter. His business was doing really well!"
"Hence, Miss Blanchard was born with a silver spoon in her mouth! Plus, she is naturally beautiful, bright, lively, and poised. When she was at St. Abbott University, she was a beauty and many people had quite an impression of her! She used to be pursued by many guys. She did not even have to pay when she wanted to buy jewelry as guys would always pay for her!"
Frederick was in complete shock at Chet's words. He had a hint of disdain towards what Chet said.
Chet smiled slightly and ignored him. He cleared his throat and continued speaking.
"However, as the Blanchard family was quite well-known in Bayton City and her parents were very strict too, no one dared to make a move on her! Miss Blanchard never had a relationship until she went to university and met Jeremy Pitcher."
After taking a deep breath, Chet glanced at the pictures he just picked up.
"The photos you saw of them were taken by others in the university and on the street... The two of them were in love and it was the hottest gossip on campus. Therefore, the pictures were posted on the university's photography website, that's why until now I could still get hold of a few photos of them..."
"I've researched Jeremy Pitcher too. His family is abroad but he came back to study at St. Abbott University for two years. When he was dating Miss Blanchard, the two families didn't have any contact. What I really don't understand is why did he put so much effort to play with the woman's heart and ruined her whole family! They had always been dating. Three years ago, they were going
to get married after graduation. It was supposed to be the most beautiful fairytale but he left her at the altar of the grandest wedding in Bayton City! I also found some old newspaper clippings with pictures of Alicia kneeling helplessly on the ground in the rain in her wedding gown. Miss Blanchard's wedding had become a joke and within a week, the Blanchard family went bankrupt!"
Chet took a glimpse of the pictures before continuing.
"We can't find much information about the company. Word was that back then, their fast-food chain had unauthorized harmful materials. In short, the impact was huge. They were forced to close down and stop all operations. The stock prices dropped dramatically and they had some trouble in capital. Then, they went bankrupt after that."
After reporting to him, Chet thought of something and added some more.
"By the way, about her wedding with Jeremy, there were two stories to it. One was that Jeremy had a feud with the Blanchard family and he secretly planned all of that; the other was about the Blanchard family's financial problems. He discovered it, therefore the wedding did not work out... There were other stories but these two were the most popular among them all! I haven't found any evidence that can support both rumors. If you want to know the truth, asking Miss Blanchard would save you the most time!"
Frederick picked the file up and rolled his eyes at him. "Cut the cr*p!"
If he could ask her, there was no need for him to investigate.
"By the way, why didn't you mention her father?"
"Rumor has it that when the Blanchard family went bankrupt and charges were pressed, Fabian was emotionally triggered that he was sent to the hospital. Then, there was no news about him. Besides, Miss Blanchard and her mother were seen to mourn for a while, therefore I'm guessing
he's gone. In the past few years, Miss Blanchard and her mother were on their own. It should have been quite difficult as many people came to them, forcing them to pay what they owed by means such as throwing eggs or splashing paint."
Truth be told, Chet was impressed by this woman from what he gathered during the research. For someone who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, it was pretty impressive to last this long.
Moreover, she could still stand her ground in such circumstances. She still had such a pure and kind heart. This was really rare!
Hearing this, Frederick understood why she cared about money that much and always said that she would feel no sense of security if she had no money.
His heart ached and he could not help feeling sorry for her.
After extracting the information, Frederick found another picture. Alicia had her arm hooked around Jeremy's neck, acting coyly with a slight smile. He wondered what she wanted to do with him.
However, Frederick's gaze fell on her shoulder. Jeremy was facing directly while she was looking sideways. Half of her shoulder was exposed as she was wearing an off-shoulder top. Although only a small part of it was exposed, a beautiful and glaring butterfly tattoo could be seen!
Swiftly, Frederick tore the picture into pieces. It was ugly as hell! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Chet was stunned by his childish behaviour and kept silent.
After Chet left, Frederick's mood worsened. He took out a cigarette and lit it. His eyes fell on the jasmine flowers on one side, which brought him a headache.
Danica was back!
