Daniel immediately caught up with Alice as he noticed that she looked very unwell. It seemed that the physical contact just now had caused the wound in her waist to hurt. “How are you? Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?” Daniel asked Alice if she was alright, but she was indifferent about it.
To their surprise, Alice had barely taken a few steps when a woman’s deep voice suddenly broke out from the crowd behind them. “Stop right there!”
Alice’s footsteps faltered upon hearing the voice, and Daniel immediately followed suit. Stop right there?
Alice paused in her tracks and glanced back at Sandra stonily. Meanwhile, the latter stood among the crowd with a darkened expression on her face; it turned out that Sandra was the one who ordered Alice to stop right there just now. How dare someone order her around like that?
Alice was so irked by Sandra’s attitude that she laughed after a brief moment of dismay. What the hell is going on with this woman? Does she have a loose screw or something?
Indeed, Sandra’s audacity surpassed Alice’s expectations of her. She said threateningly, “Are you sure that Miss Edwards and her husband’s cell phones are genuine, Alice? Also, is Mr. Murray the global spokesperson for Dragon Eye? My friend, Lucile, has shown me the designs before—I’m certain that their cell phones aren’t the Dragon Eye 7, and Taylor isn’t the global spokesperson at all!”
Alice stared at Sandra dazedly for two seconds before she finally realized what was going on. She was dropping Lucile’s name, forcing Alice to withdraw her previous remark on the spot.
Sandra had slung mud at Michael and Sophia on the spot by accusing them of using knock-off cell phones, but she ended up with a slap in the face by Alice—after all, she was the one who developed the cell phone series. Right now, the only way Sandra could save face was to make Alice withdraw her previous remark immediately by saying that she had made a mistake. Who gave her the nerve to do so? Who gave the blockheaded daughter of a second-rate wealthy family in Bayside City the cheek to threaten Alice?
Alice glanced at Sophia—who almost couldn’t conceal the sinister smile on her face as she stood among the crowd—before looking at the threatening expression on Sandra’s face. She didn’t know what had happened, but she figured out that Sandra must have done something unreasonable because she walked right into a trap Sophia had set up.
Is she possessed as rumored? How ironic of me to have chosen her as one of my agents. Stupefied, Alice felt that she was unaccustomed to the people here.
Alice’s 170cm figure walked up to Sandra before looking down at the latter, who only stood at 160cm tall. With a look of unquestionable authority in her eyes, she uttered, “The cell phone Sophia has might not look genuine, but it is a Dragon Eye cell phone—it is a custom-made version that won’t be officially released. As for Mr. Murray, I personally signed him on as the global spokesperson for Dragon Eye 7, and we have already signed the endorsement contract. Also, Mr. Winston will endorse Dragon Eye 7 alongside Mr. Murray. Miss Mitchell, if you think that your artist’s endorsement deal is a cut below Mr. Murray’s and a great insult to you, you may terminate the contract anytime. I’ll consider the endorsement fee a gift to you! Besides, you’ll never be the agent for Dragon Eye!” She turned around and left immediately, ignoring the expression on Sandra’s face.
Seeing that the situation seemed to have developed in a direction he hadn’t expected, Vincent immediately stepped forward and stopped Sandra for fear that her conflict with Alice would escalate. He urged, “That’s enough. Calm down a bit; we are all of the same family, so you should show some restraint when you speak.”
Alice’s attitude seems a little strange…
