Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

This made them stop in their tracks. They exchanged gazes before Victoria took her arm and nodded. Composing themselves, both of them held their head highs and their chest lifted as they entered.

"I didn't expect her to be here. I heard that Jeremy is coming today with Lindsay! How embarrassing would it be if they meet each other?"

"I heard that Lindsay is pregnant! Is it true that the two of them are going to get engaged?"

"She said it herself, how can it be false? The pair must be here together today. This is a five- star hotel, how shameless is she to come in such a bad state!"

The crowd was talking amongst themselves. Victoria took the initiative and spoke out, "What is there to be embarrassed about coming here? St. Abbott University does not only accept noble students or the rich. Even if she is not in a good condition now, she was still your schoolmate."

She spoke confidently, which attracted everyone's attention right away. Almost everyone turned their heads at the same time. The next moment, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow!" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Although they had graduated from university for only three years, everyone had changed a lot!

That day, Alicia hadn't planned to dress up. However, after discussing with Victoria, she went home to choose an outfit. It was a black bodycon sweater and a pastel- colored mermaid skirt. Her exquisite figure was undoubtedly complimented by the outfit. Other than the mismatched butterfly earrings, she had no other accessories on her.

After all these years of suffering, her arrogance had faded a lot. She appeared composed and more mature, her beauty outstanding from those of others.

As for Victoria, she wore a white fur blouse with a pair of slim black trousers. She had deliberately avoided wearing a dress or a skirt. Neither of them wore heavy makeup but as they stood next to each other, they were beautiful in their own unique styles.

They were still as pretty as before, befitting the title of 'Twin Beauties' back in St. Abbott University.

After three years of torture, Alicia's charm hadn't worn out at all. In fact, she had become even more attractive. In an instant, all the men's eyes lit up as their jaws dropped. As for the women, they were stunned and envious; some even had ugly expressions.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the entrance. The two turned around and saw Jeremy coming in with Lindsay holding his arms. Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar again. Unconsciously, Alicia clenched her fists.

Lindsay walked forward slowly with a loose dress that was fitted for pregnant ladies. It was as if she wanted to declare to the world that she was with child. She was looking proud and arrogant like a leader welcoming her subordinates. She even waved her hand while greeting the people.

"Hello everyone, it has been a long time since we last saw each other!"

Alicia and Victoria exchange gazes, both uncontrollably repulsing this sight. Jeremy didn't expect Alicia to show up. He caught a glimmer of light by her ears and almost at the same time, he withdrew her hand from Lindsay's waist.

At this time, a tart female voice suddenly sounded.

"It's really lively today. All the celebrities in our school are here, right? Jeremy, we haven't seen each other in ages but you're still as handsome and charming as before! You deserve to be called the most handsome man in our institution! Your taste is getting better and better!"

Taking a step forward, the woman rolled her eyes at Alicia. She then exclaimed loudly, "Linds, I haven't seen you in so long!"

Looking sideways, Alicia only saw that it was Lena Brown.

It was unforeseen that she was also in Casterwich City. She was wearing a sleeveless pale yellow dress. It was very ostentatious but the dress had highlighted all the flaws of her figure. Both Alicia and Lena hadn't gotten along back in Bayton City. Alicia smiled at her and remained silent.

On the other hand, Jeremy's expression fell slightly.

However, the women who couldn't stand having their spotlight stolen away by Victoria and Alicia started speaking up.

"Yes! It's been a long time. Linds looks beautiful now that she's in love; she looks like a completely different person!"

"Alicia, didn't your family go bankrupt? How did you even afford branded clothes? I heard that their clothes cost at least 100,000 dollars! Are you wearing a fake designer brand or are you leeching off from some rich, old men?"

"No wonder the groom had to go back on his word at the wedding—"

"You can't be too egotistical and vain. If you are poor, you should just admit it! We won't laugh at you. What's the point of being so arrogant?"

"Hey, your earrings are also of an expensive brand. It's a pair of butterfly earrings and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? Did you use all of your effort to especially dress up for someone?"

"That's right! Butterflies are a symbol of love!"

As expected, the taunts came one after another. Before Alicia could respond, Victoria had taken the initiative to respond in anger.

"Are you guys done?"

Unexpectedly, the same words came out of Jeremy's mouth at the same time.

In an instant, everyone was shocked. Lindsay's expression fell as she pulled on Jeremy's arm but still she put on a smile.

"We are all here for the gathering, we shouldn't mention the past! It's not easy for Ally, she is working so hard now. She is now a senior interpreter! Jeremy is also too soft-hearted..."

Victoria immediately huffed in anger as soon as she heard Lindsay's words. Lindsay was obviously trying to mock Alicia by revealing her current occupation.

"At least Alicia earns her own money, unlike some people who only leech off from others! Listen up, every single one of you. Stop being foolish! Oh, I've just noticed that my bracelet also has a butterfly charm! Am I also here to show off my love for someone?"

Holding Victoria's hand, Alicia felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She winked at Victoria and then turned to everyone else.

"Vicki, you don't have to do that for me. My clothes are indeed 18 thousand dollars, my earrings are 30 thousand dollars, and my shoes are at least 50 thousand dollars... Not everyone can just leech off from others even if they wanted to! Oh, yes, I'm also driving a million- dollar Bentley! I have to thank someone for abandoning me and letting me meet my old man, so that I can live so poorly!"

Although she wasn't rich at the moment, Alicia had still grown up in a wealthy family. She could easily recognize the luxury brands and she could also estimate the price points.

After scanning her surroundings, she found that amongst the many women in the crowd, their outfits couldn't even be worth the price of her earrings. Even though she had made up the price of her shirt, according to what someone else had remarked previously, she guessed that it was indeed expensive.

After all, women would always mock others when it had nothing to do with them, especially if they were jealous.

Her words proved that she was living a much more luxurious life than all the people present. Moreover, she was showing a dazzling smile. She looked gorgeous and everything about her proved that she was living a good life!

There was no doubt that her words caused everyone's mouth to seal up. Everyone's mockeries instantly lost their edge.

The world was indeed pathetic. It would only laugh at the poor, but not the wh*res.

In fact, Alicia didn't feel comfortable.

Sure enough, the murmurs had been lowered by more than half. Both Jeremy and Lindsay looked embarrassed.

Soon, everyone danced and chatted away. Many men surrounded Alicia and Victoria. The atmosphere gradually became harmonious as everyone started mixing around, having a good time.

As soon as Frederick got out of the car, he saw a familiar white Bentley and thought, "Isn't that Alicia's car?"
