Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 291

"I told you to come and you didn't! Miss Blanchard is here in East Bannpool. She just arrived at the door. I wonder if she's meeting a friend or if she's coming over for something. Well, she's alone now..."

"I've taken the contract and I have to go to the airport! I don't have time to keep an eye on her for you. It looks like she just got here." "Come on over! I'm leaving."

After reporting, Roy even paused for a few minutes to make sure that the woman was indeed Alicia before hanging up the phone.

Just as the car left, Frederick came back with Alicia's cell phone. He then hugged her and they walked toward the private room.

Just as Frederick pushed open one of the doors to East Bannpool, the noisy conversation in the room rattled to a halt. Several people stood up.

"Frederick, we've been waiting for you!"

"Yes, Danica heard that you were coming and even skipped her dinner reception. Frederick, you're really influential!"

The one who spoke was Shaun Jerald of the Jerald family, who was a few years younger than everyone else present. He was a classmate of Kaylee's and had a good relationship with Carson. He often mingled in their circle. Even after many years, their relationship remained good.

At that moment, Danica, who was sitting in the corner, also stood up. She was wearing a party dress with a gold sequined skirt that sparkled. Her makeup was thick and exquisite. It was really outstanding.

"Oh, Shaun, you're just making fun of me! I heard Carson landed a big deal and I'm happy for him, hence I came over to congratulate him. Besides, my dad has not been feeling well lately. I thought it would be nice to come and talk to Carson..."

Her words were a logical way to clarify that her arrival had nothing to do with Frederick.

Because she was a guest, Carson wasn't able to comment on her. He even especially ordered two chaperones to sing with her.

What Danica was up to was only too evident. Right then, Shaun chuckled. "I understand! I understand! Who wouldn't know that Danica and Mr. Clements-"

Only had eyes for each other!

Just as he was joking, he looked up and saw another woman behind the door, tugging on Frederick's sleeve. Shaun's voice stopped as if he had been smothered with a stick.

Since both Frederick and the door obscured Alicia, the crowd noticed her presence only then. All eyes looked over at her in unison, as if they didn't expect Frederick to appear with a woman. At this point, everyone's expression changed.

Alicia and Frederick didn't expect Danica to be there as well. It was a coincidence. They both had a moment of bewilderment.

Frederick then pulled Alicia over and held her before walking in. "Sorry, we just got stuck in traffic after dinner. That's why we arrived a little late."

With Alicia seated beside him, Frederick naturally put his arm around her waist. "I didn't realize that so many people would be in attendance. I was afraid that my wife, Alicia, would be bored by herself, therefore I brought her out. You guys don't mind, do you?"

"Wife?"

After exclaiming, Shaun glanced back at Danica before he hurriedly smiled. "Of course! Of course! The more people, the merrier!"

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Carson, I heard that you will be the exclusive agent of a vaccine and also invested in improving the research and development project, which specializes in the prevention and treatment of cerebral palsy, cerebral bruises, and other brain diseases. I heard that one injection is worth tens of thousands of dollars. You have made more than a billion dollars in the initial stage, the follow-up is sure to be immeasurable! Are you bringing home a mountain of gold and silver?"
