Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 54

"Master Clements, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Julia Claire, the niece of Mr. Claire of Peak's Group!"

"Master Clements, I'm Elizabeth McGowan, the runner-up of this year's Miss Beauty! My father is also quite famous in Aelburgh. But Aelburgh is too far away, thus, not many people know him!"

Seeing two well-dressed women around Frederick constantly jostling at him, Alicia was a little speechless.

What were they doing? Even if they wanted to flirt with Frederick, they should have lined up, shouldn't they?

Alicia's anger suddenly vanished as she set her sight on the two women who were competing with each other, trying to promote themselves.

She was waiting to see who would win.

Similarly, Frederick did not say a word and looked at them as if he was facing two clowns.

"Master Clements, I've graduated from London University with an economics major..." Julia said.

Sensing that the two of them were going to talk nonstop, Frederick couldn't bear to listen any more.

"Are you done? If you are, please move aside! Don't disturb my peace!" Frederick's voice was monotonous.

However, Alicia felt that it was the most melodious voice she had ever heard. She was a little happy that Frederick was so indifferent towards them.

Feeling a little satisfied with her vanity, Alicia's eyes became brighter.

Sure enough, the two women's smiles froze on their faces the next second. Then, they turned around and left.

"Hubby...¹' Alicia called out to him.

She was in a really good mood, but as soon as she took a step forward, another figure rushed past her and stood in front of her. This time, it was a sexy woman in a purple dress.

"I've heard a lot about you. It's my great honor to meet you today!"

With this, the woman handed over a business card with both hands. "Can I be your friend?"

Glancing at the woman's business card, Frederick narrowed his eyes. He then turned his head and said, "Sorry, I'm not in the mood! Miss White, please leave my sight!"

The woman seemed very embarrassed by his sudden response, and Alicia almost burst into laughter.

Although she was unwilling to give up, the woman could only turn around and leave silently. She readjusted her gown, and it was obvious that she regretted her actions.

This time, Alicia didn't rush forward. She deliberately stayed for a few seconds and glanced at him. Their eyes met. Frederick faintly smirked

and nodded slightly, as if to hint her to go over.

Finally, Alicia also smiled.

Just as she was about to move her feet, another voice came from the side. "Mr. Clements, it has been a long time since we last met!"

The woman who walked over this time was obviously a little older. She was wearing a simple black jumpsuit, but she had her own charm. Obviously, she knew Frederick.

They had a friendly chat and even whispered to each other. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Alicia was completely furious as she was interrupted all the time. Did she need to line up just to talk to her husband?

Looking at the man standing tall in front of her, she felt that he was like a luminous pearl in the middle of the night, shining brilliantly. The other men seemed to have lost their charm.

In an instant, Alicia felt like she had returned to a few years ago. During one of their school activities, Jeremy hit on her. Alicia's heart trembled slightly, but she also felt a bitter pain. She wanted to hide herself away. That was an instinctive self-protective reaction after being hurt.

She subconsciously turned sideways as she got lost in her thoughts.

That day, she was also in Frederick's position, being embraced and surrounded by the others! It was at that moment that her life started to become a tragedy.

In fact, it had proved once again that the rich would

always have countless choices!

What about this time? Would it be another poison wrapped in nice packaging?

She was scared and wanted to give up!

Setting down her wine glass, Alicia was about to go back to Mrs. Clements when someone suddenly grabbed her waist. When she turned around, she saw Frederick standing right behind her.

In a flash, her anger rose. "Why are you here? Go and talk to the other girls!"

They looked like they were chatting so enthusiastically, they might even go into a room!

Alicia didn't want to say this, but for some reason, she was so irritated that she couldn't control herself. Compared to her restlessness, Frederick was calm. He tightened his grip on her.

"Now you understand how it feels to be worried? Let's make a bet. Believe it or not, in less than ten minutes, that woman in pink will definitely come and talk to me!" Frederick said.

Alicia was puzzled.

Following his eyes, Alicia subconsciously turned her head, but Frederick suddenly raised his hand and stroked her hair as if he was being affectionate. However, it was to stop her action.

"Don't look at her so brazenly!"

Then, they shifted positions and Alicia saw a beautiful woman in a long pink dress with straight hair, talking to Hallie. It seemed that they had hit it off!

Her gaze fell on his face again. Alicia frowned slightly, but she also sensed something different.

"You don't believe me? Let's start our countdown then!" Frederick said.

Frederick raised his hand and let her have a look at his watch. He smiled and tapped on her nose. "If you lose, don't be angry with me anymore. I'll have my way with you tonight!"

"What if I win?" she asked. There were so many women around him, and Alicia did not believe that that particular woman would come and talk to him.

"Then, I'll grant you a wish provided that I can do it!" Frederick answered confidently.

Why was he being so generous?

Could she ask for a divorce? It was impossible that he'd agree to it!

After thinking about it for a while, Alicia straightened her little finger and said, "Pinky promise then. You can't go back on your own words!"

Looking at her cute action, Frederick reached out his hand and pinched her cheeks. Then, he took another glass of wine and took a light sip. He was confident of winning, but Alicia rolled her eyes at him with dissatisfaction.

"I'll get a glass of cold drink and calm myself down.

I should start thinking about what I want. Hmph!"

With pride, Alicia spun around and approached another waiter. She picked a glass of iced champagne. As soon as she turned around, a pink dress came into her sight. Her brows immediately

snapped together.

How could this be happening?

In the blink of an eye, Frederick had already sent the woman away, "Do you believe it now? It was her who sent the women in my way. If you are angry now, you will lose this battle!"

Was Hallie introducing women to her husband?

Alicia was even more confused. Why?

They were not close to her. Besides, even if Alicia really married Frederick, why did Hallie care?

He stepped forward and slowly hugged her. There was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, but at the same time, he appeared apologetic.

"Well stay here tonight!"
