Chapter 684
Was that...
It was as if her nerves had collapsed. Alicia paused for two seconds. Was that gunshots?
She suddenly shivered and remembered something. She raised her hand and instinctively touched Frederick. "Honey..." She said.
She carefully examined him from top to bottom. "Hubby, are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?" She asked.
She examined his back and then she checked on his face again!
He suddenly came to his senses and grabbed her small hand. He held her in his arms with his other hand. He couldn't hide the happiness and smile on his face. A scream suddenly came from the site before he could even speak.
"Ah..." Someone shouted.
Everyone instantly fled helter-skelter. The scene was chaotic. "Blood! Someone was killed!" Someone yelled.
"Run!" Another person was panicked.
"Somebody call the police!" The third person
screamed.
Frederick subconsciously held Alicia in his arms and hugged her sideways as they hid behind the pillars on the other side. He looked over only to see Kieran slowly falling.
At that time, Danica was knocked to the ground. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were filled with tears. She was in a tight corner.
Frederick was filled with disbelief and subconsciously wanted to go over and take a look. Who would want his life now that he had gone bankrupt? He thought to himself.
However, as soon as he moved, Alicia instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. There was a hint of unpleasant look in her eyes.
She was very sympathetic to what happened to Danica! She was also very pathetic! However, at that moment, even though it was just sympathy, she didn't want him to help her!
Women's wretchedness could easily arouse the heroic spirit in men's souls! She didn't want to take even the slightest risk! She had to take care of the one she loved!
She pulled him hard and spoke softly, "Call the police and ambulance!"
Wasn't that another way of helping her as well?
He could immediately hear something wrong with her tone. He turned around and once again pushed her back to the safe hiding spot.
"Don't come out!" Frederick warned.
Things weren't that simple!
Upon looking at the mess below, Frederick immediately stopped his thoughts of wanting to probe. He rubbed her hair and said, "You must be thinking too much! I know who's good and who's bad. I'm not blind. Will I be stupid for the second time?"
If it weren't for what happened that day, he wouldn't have known the truth. It turned out that she left him for 50 million dollars back then. At that time, she even stole an important contract from him and left without saying anything!
All that time, he hadn't figured out the reason at all!
At that moment, Frederick was suddenly enlightened. No wonder she left without saying anything. She was planning to take off with something! He thought to himself.
Presumably, money to her back then was still tempting! However, she might be a little reluctant to break up with her for they had been together for so many years. Perhaps she always had the idea of killing two birds with one stone.
Back then, if she said that she didn't love him and broke up with him, he might even let go of it no matter if she accepted the money behind his back or not! However, her choice was completely different. She understood him very well. If she left without saying anything, he would be obsessed with an answer and wouldn't easily let go of her. She also took off with something. Whether it was a blow to him or not, he would be obsessed with her for some time and once again be more determined to look for her or wait for her.
Things turned out to happen just like what she had planned. In the past few years, he had been obsessed with this question over the past several years!
He could accept the fact that the woman didn't love him. However, he couldn't accept his woman left for no reason!Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
However, he didn't expect that her difficulties weren't because of her getting raped or getting ill. However, it was because of the money that she didn't lack!
At that moment, without the help from Clements family, he really couldn't afford 50 million dollars!
At that time, Frederick was also glad that he had met a woman who was more worthy of his love. He was glad that he didn't have any deeper involvement with such a twisted family.
When compared to Alicia's parents, Danica's parents couldn't even be called human!
However, there were indeed a lot of wacko parents in this world!
Frederick tightly hugged Alicia and lowered his head to land a deep kiss on her forehead. "We no longer have anything to do with each other. To me, there's no one else that is more important than you!" He said.
What he cared about was the gun!
They were in Casterwich City. How could there be two shooting cases happening near him?
It was a major issue as guns were not allowed in the locality!
She had fallen into his arms the last time she was shot. Till then, he still couldn't find out what had happened as everything seemed to suddenly disappear. That time, it was another shooting incident. Could there be any clues?
Kieran?
Was it an accident? Was he a random target? Or, was he the target all along?
He couldn't allow such an indefinite bomb to exist. He couldn't let such a fatal danger to affect her. He couldn't risk her being hurt...
He kept Alicia protected in the most secured space until he heard the siren and the sound of the ambulance. Only when most of the surrounding crowd had dispersed did he slowly pull her out.
"What a buzzkill. We'd better not get ourselves involved in this mess. Let's go home early! I'll bring you here some other day!" Frederick said. "Alright..." Alicia said.
As soon as they walked down the steps, they looked up and realized that Danica was standing opposite them. The three of them unconsciously stopped.
Upon looking at the tender and sweet pair from a distance, tears welled up in Danica's eyes once more.
Without saying a word, he looked away and exchanged a glance with Alicia. Frederick then carefully embraced her, turned sideways, and then strode away.
As soon as they returned to the entrance of the banquet hall, Trevor and Victoria, who had just sent off the guests had also happened to come out. Trevor looked around and frowned a little.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
Frederick shook his head and said, "Don't go there. It's better to go home!"
It was such a happy day. It was not good to run into such incident after all!
With a glance, Trevor immediately understood it!
After the four of them chatted for a
while, Frederick and Alicia got into the car. At that moment, someone came over to strike up a
conversation with them. As such, Trevorand Victoria stayed a little longer. Victoria then said upon realizing that the both of them were talking about what seemed to be a quite important project related to work.
"Both of you can continue. I'll go and take a walk!" Victoria said.
As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the exit of the courtyard.
Trevor nodded and said, "Don't go too far!"
The bumpy and barely satisfactory wedding was finally over.
Upon looking at the distant night sky, Victoria thought about the process where she had changed from a carefree girl to a married woman. Everything seemed to have happened in the blink of an eye.
Victoria was in a trance, but it felt slightly different. Content belongs to
What was prepared turned out to be unexpectedly good!
As Victoria walked and came to her senses, she realized that she had arrived at the outer doorway. As soon as she stopped, a black figure suddenly
jumped out.
Anthony?
Why was he there?
Victoria instantly frowned and turned around. When she was about to go back, a decadent and hoarse voice sounded. "Do you really hate me so much that you don't even want to see me?" He said.
"Kimmy, I've reflected on myself! You still care about me in your heart, don't you?" He continued.
She thought that she couldn't hide from him for the rest of her life. She slowly turned back and said coldly, "I'm just afraid that my husband will misunderstand..."
She raised her hand and showed him the ring that was on it.
"You should know that I'm a person of principle! When I'm married, no matter I love him or not, I'll only care... about my husband! Don't approach me ever again!" Victoria warned him.
What was the point of the entanglement?
She was tired! The relationship between the three of them was getting too complicated!
"Kimmy, I owe you an explanation!
It's not that don't care about you and I never thought about sacrificing you! The woman that day is not an irrelevant stranger, but my half-sister of the same father! Between life and innocence..." Anthony explained.
