Chapter 2214
It was only then that Henrick remembered that he had asked Josue to investigate Alma and Jaime.
Jaime's family background was not bad. He was a new upstart who had jumped into the upper class in recent years. Relying on the cooperation of real estate, his family had become famous in River City over the years.
Only then did he realize that Alma had come prepared. If she could not enter the Alwynn family, she could choose to enter the Jefferson family.
The Alwynn family's status and position had long surpassed that of Alwynn Group back in those days. With his mother's Symantec Group, the Alwynn family was so rich that it was beyond anyone's imagination Others thought that their family had high standards, but many people didn't know that he had good parents. They didn't care about the other party's background or family, but their character was very important. More importantly, they have to love each other.
Henrick laughed at himself, laughing at the time when he was blind.
He looked up and saw Alice, who was about to leave.
When she returned to her room, her mood was very complicated. Although Henrick had apologized to her, her heart was still very heavy.
That meant that they would never be involved again. Her two children would never know who their biological father was.
That night, she chose to forgive Henrick because she could not be entangled in the future. More importantly, she did not have to take the children abroad. She did not want to leave her parents either. Ever since she was a child, her father had taught her that peace was the most important thing. Moreover, she was the first to make a mistake. If she hadn't taken the initiative to look for Henrick, things wouldn't have happened in the hotel.
She went for love. At that time, she held a romantic and beautiful ideal for the future, but in fact, she did not want it to turn into hatred in the end.
After all, there was no fate between the two of them.
No matter how much you like someone, if he didn't belong to you, he never would. It was meaningless to keep pushing the matter.
At the thought of this, she was very sad. When the children first went to school, Juliet would often say that other children had parents to pick them up, whereas she would only have her mother and grandparents to pick them up.
Listening to her daughter's words, her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
Although Marlon was mischievous, he was also very considerate. He knew that they had no father and he would never ask about him. However, Alice could see that her son was also looking forward to having a father. She knew very well what kind of role a father would play in his life.
Feeling a little depressed, she wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't expect to see Henrick as soon as she went out.
He was wearing a bathrobe, and he was both attractive and dazzling. When their eyes met, she could hear her heartbeat racing, and a blush quickly appeared on her bright and beautiful face. Seeing this, Henrick's annoyance receded and he felt much better. He asked with an unnatural expression, "Are you... going out?"
She nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."
When she was about to leave, she suddenly saw the blood on his foot. The light was so bright that she could see it clearly even if she pretended not to see it.
She stopped in her tracks. He noticed her gaze and moved his feet backward.
Alice was speechless and she pretended that she didn't see anything.
He was immune to herself in her heart.
However, she couldn't help walking towards Henrick.
"I'm here... to find Josue. I want him to bandage my wound. He's... not here."
She looked at him and said, "Go back to your room first. I'll get the first aid kit."
After saying that, she scolded herself in her heart, "Alice, why are you so cheap? It has nothing to do with you even if he dies. Why do you care?"
"Oh, okay!" The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, but he stood still.
She ignored him and went back to take the first aid kit angrily. Even her footsteps were heavy.
She usually took care of her children, and she herself was quite careless. She often suffered some bumps and bruises. No matter where she went, she would bring a simple first aid kit with her. Henrick looked at her back, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips. He didn't know why, but he was very happy.
"Henrick." He was stunned for a moment and he wondered why this woman was following him everywhere.
He turned around and saw Alma in the corridor.
"Ah! What's wrong with your foot?" She saw the blood on his foot and wanted to help him, but he suddenly stepped back. She was speechless.
At that moment, the phone in his hand vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was Josue's message.
"Mr. Henrick, Miss Parma and Jaime are a couple. He admitted that they were dating. They started dating about half a year ago. He also gave Miss Parma a luxury car and many branded bags." Below were several photos of Alma and Jaime hugging and kissing each other.
Henrick closed her eyes and looked at Alma. His feelings were very complicated. He thought of how much he had expected from her, and how disappointed he was right then. He had once thought that even if the whole world thought that she was wrong, as long as she explained, as long as she made up for her mistakes ang changed for the better, he would believe her.
However, it seemed that he could not wait any longer.
He was not only in pain, but also completely awake.
"Henrick, you..." Before Alma could finish her words, she saw Alice coming over with a small first aid kit.
Alice turned around and was about to leave. How could she forget that it was not her responsibility to take care of Henrick's injury? He still had Alma.
"Alice." Henrick couldn't care less about the wound on his foot as he chased after her.
He followed Alice directly to her room.
Alma closed her eyes. Ever since she framed Alice that day, Henrick's attitude towards her had changed.
What should she do?
As long as Alice was here, Henrick's eyes would not fall on her.
Alma turned around and went downstairs to discuss the countermeasures with Candice. She couldn't lose Henrick.
In Alice's room, she looked at Henrick, who had followed her in. She frowned and asked, "Why did you come in?"
His gaze was a little evasive. "What can I do? Didn't you say you'd help me with my wound?"
She retorted, "You should go find Alma. I forgot that she's your girlfriend. It's not my responsibility to help you if something happens to you. You can leave now."
He questioned her loudly, "Who told you that she's my girlfriend?"
She frowned and looked at him with a sneer. "Who told me? Everyone knows that the two of you are a couple. You came here because you want someone to spread the news that I snatched Alma's boyfriend and that I pestered you to death again."
Where there were people, there was trouble.
"No, Alice. I didn't even admit it. How did they find out? Don't worry. I've already asked Josue to investigate what happened that day. I'll soon find out who did it. I'll clear your name." He sat on the sofa and looked down at his foot.
He missed the surprise in Alice's eyes.
Did he say that he wanted to prove her innocence?
