As soon as Daniel heard that voice, he was instantly startled and lost his composure as he spat out his tea.
Holding his cup, Michael looked at the woman standing at the door. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a seductive figure. Wasn’t this Alice Michel who joined the filming crew? Surely, Michael knew her identity. She was the Vice President of the Michel Group, her identity and prestige only second to Linus.
Was Daniel fortune-telling by examining… breasts?
To Michael’s knowledge, Daniel wasn’t that kind of person. Although his nickname ‘Mr. Eighty Thousand’ had been firmly established, he never had any dark past. In fact, he was honest and decent, and he was a man of taste. He would never be involved in these acts, and Michael knew this.
Meanwhile, Sophia, who came with Alice, was also dumbfounded.
Are there such things as fortune-telling by examining breasts? And Daniel did that?
She looked at Daniel’s hands before turning to look at Alice’s breast. Then, she shifted her gaze to Casper’s black hair and Alice’s blonde hair, before looking at Daniel’s black hair. She finally connected the dots when she associated the ‘fortune-telling’ to Casper’s absent father.
This information was too overwhelming, and she had to take a moment to process it.
However, Michael pretty much figured it out in a few seconds.
First of all, Daniel’s whereabouts were always uncertain. One-third of the time, he would be at Bayside City, while other times, he would either be at Reverie Mountain or touring the world fortune-telling.
According to Sophia, Alice usually kept a low profile. Other than going to work, she travelled and did photography.
On top of that, she used to be religious and a devoted worshipper, while Daniel’s targets were usually those who were believers.
Casper was five now, which meant that six years ago…
Six years ago, there was an international metaphysical convention held by the river Seine which Daniel was invited to.
At that moment, Alice scoffed as she walked in. When she saw Daniel, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Mr. Psychic, this is my Mommy.”
Casper sat next to Daniel and proudly introduced her.
In complete disbelief, Daniel looked back and forth between Alice and Casper before he realized that Casper’s hair color was natural, and not dyed!
At once, his jaw dropped.
“Casper… Alice…”
His mind was completely blown as he looked at the pair of mother and son in disbelief. In fact, he did not know what to say.
Just then, Michael cleared his throat. “It’s warm in here, I’m going to get some fresh air.”
Then, he quickly left with Sophia, leaving Daniel alone to face Alice and Casper.
Sophia, who had wanted to watch the fun, was dragged away by Michael.
Then, there were only Alice, Daniel, and Casper left in the tea room.
Lifting his head, Casper looked at the two of them as his blue eyes blinked.
In fact, Alice and Linus had just returned from their business trip when they heard Casper talking about an incredible fortune teller, and that he wanted to follow him to Reverie Mountain to train as his apprentice. As such, Alice wanted to meet this fortune teller who had the ability to trick not only Cooper, but also her son. She did not expect the crook to be Daniel!
Due to Alice’s imposing aura, Daniel did not dare to speak nor breath too loudly. He felt extremely guilty when he recalled the incident where he had drunkenly taken advantage of Alice and then ran away after sobering up the next morning.
