Holding on to virtual-novel.net stomach as virtual-novel.net wiped virtual-novel.net tears away, Alice took virtual-novel.net cell phone out and began sending a text message.
It wasn’t long after when a knock was heard at virtual-novel.net room’s door. Upon opening it, the person who stood outside turned out to be the same man who had beaten Alice up earlier!
“Is it done, miss? And here I thought that the young master would’ve already picked you up and left with you by now!” said the man with a chuckle.
“Here’s the money, now get out of my sight! Also, while I did tell you to put on a great show, don’t you think you were being a little too harsh?” replied Alice angrily.
“Hey, it’s all because of my intense acting skills that the young master ended up buying it! Haha! I can see that he’s fainted… Since you’ll be free for the rest of the night, why don’t we… ”
“Get lost!” shouted Alice as virtual-novel.net glared contemptuously at the man before slamming the door shut.
It was true that Alice had earlier set Gerald up. After all, the only way virtual-novel.net would be able to gain his trust and compassion was by ‘getting hurt’ in front of him.
Though it was a gamble, Alice was willing to try anything at this point.
Her fantasies of being together with virtual-novel.net had been shattered the moment virtual-novel.net learned of Gerald’s true identity. What more, virtual-novel.net seemed to be leaving Salford County soon.
Once virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net knew it would be near impossible for virtual-novel.net to meet virtual-novel.net again.
Alice simply couldn’t reconcile with the fact that virtual-novel.net had once only been steps away from being able to be part of an unimaginably distinguished and rich family.
This was virtual-novel.net final attempt to grab hold of virtual-novel.net dreams.
After the birthday banquet ended, Alice had not scrupled to leave the service team before rushing back to Hong Kong. She was in such a hurry since virtual-novel.net had heard some things during the Fenderson Mansion event.
According to the rumors, Gerald was bringing some of his people there. While virtual-novel.net didn’t specifically know where his family stayed in Northbay, Alice knew where Gerald’s sister was.
Though virtual-novel.net had initially been rather skeptical about the rumors, virtual-novel.net gamble paid off in the end, since Gerald truly did come.
By then, virtual-novel.net had already planned for the show between virtual-novel.net and that man from earlier to happen. Her plan had worked flawlessly too since virtual-novel.net knew Gerald like the back of virtual-novel.net hand.
His greatest downfall was the fact that virtual-novel.net was a soft-hearted person, especially with women. It was why Alice had managed to successfully trick him, and all that led to the current situation.
“You really can’t blame me for doing this, Gerald… I really just want you to be mine!” said Alice as virtual-novel.net slowly began undressing.
The next morning at Northbay’s main port in Hong Kong, a large ocean liner could be seen waiting to depart. The ship had been exclusively reserved for those in the investigation team.
One after another, the many members of the investigation team began boarding the ship.
“I’ll see you in three days, Molly! I’ll miss you!”
“That’s not a lie, is it?”
“Of course it isn’t!”
As Molly continued openly flirting with virtual-novel.net boyfriend, Wanda did the same with hers. Both their boyfriends had come to see them off.
Mila herself, however, seemed to be waiting anxiously alone there. Her cell phone was ready in virtual-novel.net hand and virtual-novel.net had already tried calling virtual-novel.net up to twenty times that morning.
The reply virtual-novel.net got, however, was always the same.
“Sorry, the phone you have dialed, is currently off. Please try again later.”
“Why hasn’t Mr. Crawford arrived, Mila?” asked Molly as virtual-novel.net walked over, virtual-novel.net arm locked with virtual-novel.net boyfriend’s.
“Humph! Do you honestly think that being a rich man’s partner is going to be that easy? He probably doesn’t even care for her! Why, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that he’s currently sleeping in another beauty’s arms!” said a girl who smiled coldly as virtual-novel.net approached the group.
“Like you’d know anything about that, Hallie! Remember, you’re only here because you made use of your connections! In the end, you’re just a b*tch deep down, and you’ll never be anything more than that! So shut up already!” retorted Wanda with a huff.
Hearing that, Hallie’s face immediately went red with rage.
“Hey, look over there! A luxury car is coming this way!” said a man who pointed at it as a few other men—who were standing close by—turned to look.
