Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"If it weren't for the fact that Paradise Coffee had sold out recently, we probably wouldn't have noticed it! It seems that the situation is becoming more serious by the second!"

Frederick pursed his lips lightly and said,

"Trevor has never taken things lightly on his side, but I certainly didn't expect that he would bring back only the least important bracelet! Right now, the chip and that piece of paper are still missing!"

"Frederick, should we intervene in this matter?"

As soon as Carson spoke, Willy and Frederick inadvertently looked at each other. At that moment, Wyatt who was on the lookout suddenly turned back.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"We don't have a choice, do we?"

If they did not intervene with that issue anytime soon, then it wouldn't be long before it began to spread like wildfire. That time, it was merely the Hell Ice Liquor and the Paradise Coffee. Hence, they could take precautions and avoid any unnecessary approach. Most importantly, what if the organization changed their product into a dailynecessity in the near future?

Sooner or later, it would become inevitable!

In fact, the four of them were well-aware of it! Besides themselves, their families were also the primary targets of the organization. No matter who they were, it was impossible for them to stay out of trouble.

Frederick took a sip of his wine while he thought. Should he inform the police about it? How should he honestly approach the issue?

Moments later, Willy asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"Let's do them both at once! We need to destroy the formula and investigate their base of operation. We'll also need to develop an antidote!" As soon as Frederick was done speaking, Wyatt nodded his head and said,

"It's better to find someone to call the police for us. This way, we will have people on both sides! On the other hand, we can also strengthen our force and prevent ourselves from being the prime target! Moreover, this method will guarantee a higher rate of success."

Carson raised his finger and said,

"I agree with that! Besides, people are normally afraid of being exposed, so it isn't worth their time to take revenge on us either!"

It was hard to say whether the organization would fight them head-on or simply drag someone in as their scapegoat!

Frederick nodded his head and said,

"Well, you're right about that! It's not hard to track them down anyway and Trevor has been tailing them for quite some time too. Carson and I shall oversee this part of the plan; while Wyatt and Willy, you both will be responsible of finding any clues related to them. I'll inform Nicholas about this and also ask him for his help! As for the antidote..."

As he pointed to himself, Carson then said, "I understand! I'll do my best!"

"That's all for the time being. Furthermore, let's meet up regularly for any follow-up discussions!" A thought flashed across Frederick's mind as he lifted his glass and said, "No matter how big of a deal it is, let's talk about it after today. Today is a big day for Trevor, we should catch up on old times and not talk about business! Let's not dampen the mood any longer!"

"We understand, cheers!"

Soon after, the four of them returned to the ballroom.

On the other side, Trevor had been stopped several times before he could even walk up to Victoria. He had no other choice but to entertain the guests that had constantly greeted him.

Likewise, Victoria went to her mother's side for a short while after entertaining a few friends. Besides that, she also spent some time talking to her grandmother and Alicia. After being driven away, she reluctantly headed back to the crowd.

Deep down, the wedding was held entirely for the sake of her parents and the elders. Although everyone in the Clements family treated her kindly, and Mrs. Clements was also fond of her because of Alicia's relationship with Aunt Amanda, Victoria was still feeling somewhat lonely and miserable.

All of a sudden, a cute stuffed bunny came into her sight right as she took another glass of orange juice from a corner. In that instant, Victoria's eyes were completely fixed on the doll.

"Congratulations on your marriage!"

A familiar tender voice echoed in her ears. Right then, Victoria gradually tilted her head to the side and saw an elegant figure that stood in front of her. "Mr. Jordyn, you're back!"

Traces of excitement were written all over Victoria's face as she snatched the cute stuffed bunny from his hand and said, "Thank you! Is this for me? Every time you come back, you will always get me a stuffed bunny. It's so cute!"

The snow-white stuffed bunny was delicate and exquisitely made. Although it was tiny in size, she could hang it on her bag. Right then, Victoria caressed it affectionally in her palm. All of a sudden, she was taken aback as she felt something hard inside the doll.

"What's this?"

Victoria unzipped the doll and found a blue velvet bag that was put inside. As she opened it, she saw a huge diamond inside which was at least five carats. In fact, it was actually a rare pink diamond!

"This... I can't take it. It's way too expensive!" Why would he gift her a diamond?

"Silly girl!"

The middle-aged man extended his hand and held hers while he placed the diamond back into her hand. "I have yet to inlay it into any jewelry! You can turn it into any kind of jewelry that you fancy!"

At that moment, Victoria's eyes averted to the pink diamond ring that was on her finger. It was about the same size as the one Mr. Jordyn had given to her. As he gradually closed his eyes, the man said, "This is the finest pink diamond that I could find!"

The diamond's pure pink color had suited her very much!

Frankly, he never expected Victoria to get married this quickly since he had only not seen her a short while Besides that, she was also more beautiful and sociable than before. She seemed to be slightly different from the little girl in his memory.

"Mr. Jordyn, this is such a precious gift! Wouldn't it be better if you kept it for your future wife? If my dad found out about this, I'll definitely be punished again!"

Victoria held his arm as she circled to a corner. In an instant, she was beaming in excitement.

"As far as I remember, you have always pampered me. You always got me a new stuffed bunny every year ever since you destroyed my old one! Honestly, I haven't been mad at you since long ago."

"Mr. Jordyn, I'm glad that you made it back! Did you just come back recently? Have you met my dad yet? He would be overjoyed if someone could play golf with him! After all, you are his best friend. As for this gift, I really can't accept it!"

Instead of taking it back, Clarence extended his hand and passionately caressed her head while a strange feeling flashed across his eyes, "Silly girl! There's no reason for me to take it back. Besides, it is my gift to you. Does he treat you well?"

Why was she married all of a sudden?

Clarence did not recall Victoria mentioning about it during their last meet-up.

His unspoken words lingered on the tip of his tongue. At that very moment, he was stunned as he noticed the distinctly stiff smile on her face.

As she lowered her head, Victoria smiled and said, "Yes!"

A myriad of words were stuck in his throat, yet Clarence simply couldn't utter a single one of them. Right then, he raised his hand and stroked her hair once again.

Trevor inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of the scene that occurred before him.

He immediately placed down the wine glass in his hand and said, "My apologies, please excuse me for a moment!"

Promptly, he turned around and strode over to Victoria, "Vicky..."

With a single glance, he noticed the inappropriate doll in Victoria's hand and the bright smile on her face. Shortly, he took a step forward and hooked his arm around her waist.

"Who is this?"

Victoria rolled her eyes at Trevor as she was annoyed by his sudden interruption. Unexpectedly, she failed to notice the obvious disappointment that was buried deep in Clarence's eyes.

Clarence was her father's best friend

and they also treated each other as brothers. As he was ten years younger than her father, which made him only ten years older than her, he was regarded as a close friend of theirs. As far as she could remember, he had been around

no

often ever since she was young.

Due to courtesy of treating Clarence as an elder, Victoria then introduced the both of them to each other, "This is my husband, Trevor! And this is Mr. Jordyn, my father's friend!"

Trevor extended his hand and said, "Ah, so you're my father-in-law's friend. I guess I should call you 'uncle' too. How are you?"

He deliberately emphasized on their age gap with a smile on his face while his grip tightened.

At that moment, he also noticed Victoria had stuffed a bag which clearly contained a diamond into the doll's invisible belly pocket. Realizing that Clarence was gazing at her with a tender smile on his face, he subconsciously turned gloomy.

"Pardon me for my rudeness! I'll be taking Vicky to meet a few friends. Please excuse us for the time being!"

As Victoria raised her head, the irritated expression on her face did not change at all. In fact, she was extremely agitated by Trevor's behavior. "Mr. Jordyn, please make yourself at home! I'll come over in a while..."

Which rabble of his did Trevor want Victoria to meet?
