Chapter 58: We Are Getting Married
It is a setback in Alice's career since she resigns from the well-known hospital. And she has been planning to make an achievement in her career.
However, all her efforts are in vain. She is disappointed for sure.
But luckily, the president of the hospital bows to the power of the Smith; and he still pays her the full-month salary and even the examination fee that Edward pays for his annual check-up. However, Alice refuses to accept that amount of money.
The president feels that she is so stubborn and he is a bit sorry for her. He begins to speak and then hesitates, "Dr. Roberts. Just keep it."
Alice's frowns and she wonders that whether the money is the compensation given by Edward because of his guilty of what Joanna and Janet has done to her.
Thinking of that, she is even less willing to keep it. "I've been paid of my salary. Please return the money to Mr. Smith."
Then she leaves. The president is left in the room sighing.
On the way back to her apartment, she finds it still early so that she decides to go to the supermarket to get groceries.
After picking the vegetables and snacks her children like, she suddenly pauses in front of the screen which is set in the middle of the supermarket.
On the screen, Joanna who looks so shy is accepting an interview and telling the public that she will marry to Edward, the CEO of SA Group soon. They will get married soon...
Joanna is having Edward's baby and they will hold a wedding soon.
Hiding her feeling of aching in heart, she walks to the cashier. But she comes across Charles there.
It has never occurred to her that she will see Charles since what happened five years ago when she was slandered by Joanna and Janet that she wasn't pure. Charles, holding a box of condoms, is shocked too.
But Alice pauses for a second, walks straight ahead and puts down the staffs on the counter to pay the bill.
Charles feels himself being ignored and he thinks that he wouldn't treat Joanna so well and care about her few years ago if he didn't want to fawn on her.
Finally, people believe that Joanna and he had an affair, but Joanna just managed to separate Alice from Edward.
Over the past five years, Edward seems like mad and gives vent to all his hatred and anger of Alice's betrayal on Charles and keeps striking the Johnson Group.
If Janet didn't stop Edward, he will have no idea how the Johnson Group will be today.
But everything should be blamed on Alice!
Reminding of that, Charles is furious. After Alice pays her bill and is about to go back home, he stops her. He sneers, "Now what, feeling ashamed?"
Alice stops her steps and gives a cold stare at the angry man. But she just finds it ridiculous. "Charles Johnson, why should I feel ashamed? You are the one who should be ashamed."
She believes that the matter happened years ago definitely has something to do with him.
At that time, she married to Edward, his relative. Therefore, he took good care of Edward and her.
Thus, she trusted him so much.
She regarded him as her confidant and showed her gratitude to his help and support so that when she was pregnant, she still thought that he regarded her as his sister, so she let her guard down.
Even Edward was jealous of him since he got along well with Alice. She laughed at Edward that he was such a jealous man, and said Charles was indeed a good brother.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
However...
Those sex photos and his gentle whispers to her became the evidence that she was the so called "whore". They slandered that Alice cheat on Edward.
She isn't a fool and she knows that there is something to do with Charles.
"Why don't you say hello to you ex-boyfriend? I have suffered a lot because of you!"
He says, in a gnashing manner. He used to be a dashing son of the Jonson. But because of Alice, SA Group have given a heavy blow to the Johnson Group so that his status in his family is decreasing and he is scolded by his dad every day. However, Joanna, the one he fell head over heels in love with before, is only focused on Edward. No matter how hard he tried, and how much he loved her, it was useless.
"You asked for it!" Though Alice doesn't know exactly what had happened to him these years, she can't help sneering at him when she sees he is holding the condoms. "You got involved, didn't you? Look at you now; I should have known your true color."
He is a bit embarrassed when he notices that she is staring at the condoms in his hand. Then he puts the condoms away with his face clouded, "Don't pretend to be innocent. You were the one who lured me at that time. Edward won't stay with you even without me." He raises his voice on purpose when he notices that there are some people gathering around.
As he expects, there are some onlookers peek at Alice disdainfully and some of them are even gossiping about her, saying she is a bitch or something.
Charles is delighted when he sees that the people around are staring at her. "It's too late to regret. Alice, I heard that you were fired by the hospital?" Alice frowns and she has no idea who tells him about that.
"Charles Johnson! Shame on you! I was so stupid that I regarded you as my reliable bother." Then she leaves without giving him a look.
"Stop there!" Charles goes forward and grabs her arms. She staggers and all her staffs fall on the ground. "I haven't finished yet! Do you feel ashamed so you are eager to leave?"
Alice finds him totally an asshole! He is about to say something but suddenly his head is hit by something hard.
"Who is that? Who threw this to me! Step forward!" Charles lets go of Alice's hand and holds his painful head.
Then someone steps forward from the crowd and gets closer to them. His eyes look so cold and he lifts his lips and answers, "It's me."
Alice is surprised to see that the one shows up is Randall.
She thinks she shouldn't have shopped at the supermarket today. She doesn't know what to do when she comes across Randall.
Charles is also shocked when he sees Randall. He knows Randall, who owns the Night Group, one of the leading enterprises in the city.00000000000000
