Chapter 105 Alicia, Well Played 1
"Alright, I can cooperate with you, but..." The light in Emmalee's eyes suddenly changed, "I want
Kaleb!"
"My dear cousin, he is yours for sure. This is the agreement we have reached since the beginning.
Besides, you have already conquered half of him!" I smiled at Emmalee, "Haven't you?"
Emmalee could not help but smile proudly as if she were giving me a grand gesture, "Of course, I am
Emmalee! I look better than Alicia and am in better shape! Of course, Kaleb is mine, and he must be
mine!" As Emmalee spoke, her eyes lit up as if she had seen money in front of her.
I smiled but did not say anything. In this world, birds of a feather flock together. This was never wrong!
Emmalee suddenly stopped laughing and started to warn me in a cold tone, "Rachael, I will cooperate
with you, but before I get married to Kaleb, you are not allowed to leak anything to anyone!"
"Of course!"
Emmalee looked at the crowded entrance and pulled her collar up slightly. She did not want to be seen
that she was with me. "We will stop here. Remember our deal. Except that we are meeting in private,
everything should be as usual between us!" She left hurriedly after saying that.
I looked at Emmalee's back and smiled faintly. People like her were always expecting something that
was out of their abilities. I always thought that she did not use her logic at all. But I did not expect her to
understand that her relationship with Kaleb could not be revealed before the time came.
Emmalee was not part of my plan for now. However, I would revenge on everyone in the Cornell family
who bullied me, including Emmalee.
The right time had not arrived yet. A show was about to start. This was all thanks to Alicia's wonderful
life. I was so looking forward to Marlon's expression when he saw it!
I went back to my apartment in a great mood and took a shower. It had been a long time since I was in
such a good mood, especially after taking a shower.
I came out of the bathroom in a towel and poured a glass of water. Recalling Kieran's warning to me
before getting off work, I was a little bit nervous. Previously, I was very scared when facing Kieran, but
now, what Kieran said made more sense to me every time I thought about it. I could not help but recall
the first time I met Kieran, the time I had spent with him, and others’ comments about him.
Others’ comments about him included "ruthless, cruel, bloodthirsty, terrifying, and noble as if he were
the unreachable ancient god that did not belong to the world. Although I had no idea how wealthy
Kieran's family was, I would never be able to imagine or have access to that kind of wealth my entire
life. However, regardless of his family, the reason why he had such an untouchable status today was
because of his strength, ruthlessness, and indifference!
Bang, bang!
Suddenly, the knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I could not think of anyone that would come,
but I thought for a moment. It should be Mr. Charles who wanted to continue the rebuke.
I did not dare to delay any longer, so I hurriedly opened the door. The next moment, I saw Marlon
standing outside.
The corridor outside was dark. I could not tell Marlon's expression, as his entire body fused with the
shadows. His whole aura was extremely cold and gloomy.
I smiled when I saw Marlon, "Mr. Redford, what makes you come here? If I remember correctly, you
should be in the hospital now, staying with my weak sister Alicia, who is going to faint any minute!"
Before I could finish speaking, Marlon pushed me away and forcefully walked in. I was immediately
displeased and looked at him coldly, "Mr. Redford, this is my room, and it is night now. People will
misunderstand our relationship if we stay here alone. I do not want to see another picture of me and
Mr. Redford again tomorrow!"
Marlon threw his phone on the table and stared at me. He said in a cold voice, "Explain it to me."
I was wondering what it was. When I look at it, it was the photo of me and another man that Alicia
found someone to edit. I was confused because I already explained everything in the office. Besides,
the top trending topic was the statement by Mr. Night. After all of these, this man still ran over and
questioned me inexplicably.
"I had already explained everything earlier today. If there is anything you are confused about, go to Mr.
Night's statement!" I did not want to say anything else to Marlon. Instead, I turned around and was
about to put the dirty clothes in the bucket.
"Watch your attitude!" Marlon grabbed me.
My wrist hurt. The emotion of anger immediately came up to my chest, for his humiliation all these
times, and his disdainful and disgusted gazes when I explained everything time and time again. I shook
off Marlon's hand and stared at him, saying in a cold tone, "Mr. Redford, what explanation do you
expect? What you have seen is the truth. In your mind, I am just unfaithful. What else should I explain?
Besides, Mr. Redford's fiancée said that someone had testified to my scandal. It must be true!" I
mocked coldly. I had a deep hatred towards Marlon. He believed in everything that Alicia said. In his
heart, I was the most disgusting and Alicia the noblest.
"You are so big!" Marlon glanced at my chest in the picture on the phone. He said it contemptuously,
turned around, and went straight to my bed.
"..."
"Mr. Redford, this is my home, and that is my bed. Isn't it inappropriate?" I looked at Marlon
indifferently.
Marlon did not look at me at all. At this moment, there was another knock on the door. I was so
depressed and opened the door, wondering who it could be. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
A middle-aged man was standing at the door, who was wearing a black, neat suit with a solemn
expression.
"Ms. Cornell, these are Mr. Redford's clothes!" The man handed me a case. Only then did I recall that
he was Marlon's housekeeper. I did not remember him in the first place because I only saw him a few
times.
The housekeeper gave me the case, bowed to me, and left.
"..."
Marlon pushed me to the side and grabbed the case inside. He changed into his pajamas and washed
up as if he were in his own house. Then, he directly went to the bed.
"Marlon, you are engaged to Alicia in three days. Don't you think you are doing the wrong thing?" I
watched him indifferently when he was lying on my bed.
