Chapter 900
When she opened her mouth to argue, Alicia's voice cut off as she processed his words. What did he say?
How was that possible?
"It's incredible, right? I bet you can't figure out why." Jeremy sighed and said, "Because I ran into him and Danica when they went shopping for a wedding dress." As his voice rose, Jeremy yelled in anger, "He's the one who is fooling around behind your back. He is the one who is good for nothing, do you understand now?" "You must have mistaken him for someone else! We aren't even divorced..." How could Frederick be with Danica? Alicia thought it was ridiculous!
"Can't he get married without divorcing you? Ally, I swear I didn't see the wrong person. I even looked for him and warned him! If that wasn't the case, why would he attack me by deliberately messing up my company contracts? He made all kinds of trouble to ruin all of my cooperation and projects with other companies. Why is he doing this? Isn't it because he is afraid that I'll look for you and tell you about it? You're not in Casterwich City. He asked you to leave, right? Ally, why would I lie to you? I look for you so often not because of myself. I just don't want to see you get hurt again, although I have my own considerations too!"
"I..."
Alicia's mind was in a mess and it made her feel dizzy. She and Frederick had been in touch so far. Although she had been a little busy these two days, she hadn't noticed anything wrong.
"Don't be so hurry to defend him! You can come back and see it for yourself. Then you'll know that I'm not lying. Ally, I've been through this because it's similar to my feelings for you. No matter what, it has been years since he and Danica last saw each other. He could have regained his feelings for her. I don't know what's going on between you two, but I swear that's the whole truth. The day after tomorrow, they will hold a wedding at Four Seasons Hotel. They had even booked the entire banquet hall! I used my connections to investigate it but only managed to photograph a small part of the venue. Unfortunately, it is an English name with the abbreviation of the first letter. I've sent it to you. Ally, even if I am lying, it wouldn't hurt for you to check it out yourself, right?"
After that, Jeremy spoke again to emphasize himself.
"I don't mind the loss my business has to suffer,
but I don't want you to be kept in the dark! Ally, if time can be reversed, I'd rather not turn around at that time..."
On the day of the wedding, he had gone to the hotel. However, he had only met her once before turning around promptly and leaving. It was probably the most regretful thing he had ever done in his life!
It was true that one misstep could cause more and more mistakes. And now, it was too late for regrets.
"I don't know what he told you, but he is using all means to stop me. Didn't you notice that this phone number I'm using to call you is not actually mine? The messages I sent to you previously and the phone calls I made to contact you were all intercepted. This phone number belongs to one of the merchants who has interacted with you before. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that your phone number is being blocked from every unknown number. At least, it's very likely that any Casterwich City's phone number can't reach you! He must have racked his brains to come up with all methods in order to hide it from you."
As he finished speaking, Jeremy hesitated for a while.
Since Frederick had done so much preparation, he probably cared a lot about her. And since he cared about her, why would he still do something like this?
Just as he was wondering if he should voice out his thoughts, Jeremy paused for a moment. However, on the other end of the call, Alicia finally spoke.
"I understand. Thank you. I will go back and check it for myself, and that will be the end of it. You should get back to dealing with your business. When I return, I will stop him if everything you say is true!"
Before Jeremy could react, Alicia had hung up the phone.
She then opened the messages and looked at the photos Jeremy sent her.
Although the outline of the wedding venue was not very clear, Alicia saw the word "J". As she shifted her gaze to one side, a row of jasmine flower pots caught her attention.
"Jasmine flowers?"
Danica's favorite jasmine flowers...
Alicia leaned against the wall, instantly paralyzed. Suddenly, it dawned on her that Frederick had attempted to stop her from returning home for the time being. He had also said that he would pick her up at a later date...
The broken images flashed through Alicia's mind, and she was in a mess. She thought, "What the hell is going on?"
Why would he get together with Danica behind her back?
Jeremy said that he ran into them when the two were shopping for a wedding dress. Could it be that those photos were all real?
Just then, it occurred to Alicia that the day when she mentioned the photo, Frederick did not give her a direct answer. Was he trying to avoid the topic?
But why?
As soon as suspicions started to rose, another notification ringtone sounded from her phone. She clicked on it, and the dull look in her eyes suddenly became a little brighter.
"My new marriage nail polish! Isn't it beautiful?"
The message was from her shop assistant, but the attached photo revealed a pair of woman's slender hands. Apparently, the bride was getting her nails done with a shade of bright red. In the back of the photo was the name... Danica. J.
The next message was a photo
showing the side of a wedding dress, which seemed to have been captured secretly. The front profile of a woman and the side profile of a man was very clear. It was hard for Alicia to turn a blind eye. It was Danica
and Frederick!
This time, she was not that stupid to think that it was Joseph!
Alicia tried her best to calm herself down and pretended as if nothing happened. She quickly replied, "You're getting married? Congratulations!"
"Yes. The wedding will be held on the day after tomorrow at Four Seasons Hotel, V District. Don't you want to come back and attend my wedding with your dear husband? I don't have much time left. However,
I can spend the last few years of my life with my loved one. I think I won't have any regrets in this life.."
"Thank you for your generosity.
Although I could only stay with him
for a few years, I am still very
satisfied
accompany him for the
$139
first half of his life, and you'll accompany him for the second half. Isn't this what we call fate? You really need to have a drink with me when you come back."
"The sky in Casterwich City is so blue, and the scenery is really beautiful..."
Alicia's head was buzzing as if it was going to explode. After reading the few messages, Alicia understood what was going on. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but she replied with a smiling emoji. She said, "Thank you for notifying me. I will attend the wedding on time! How can I not join the wedding dinner?"
After that, she quickly booked a plane ticket for her return trip. She also deliberately screenshot a photo of the ticket and sent it to Danica.
Soon after, Danica replied with an even more radiant smiling emoji, along with a provoking sentence," I'll be waiting."
After closing her phone, Alicia was so angry that her heart sank to her stomach. She had mixed feelings and her mind was in a mess. "Danica was doing that on purpose!"
Alicia was very certain about this. However, what did she mean by saying she didn't have much time left?
Did she mean that she was going to die?
