Chapter 85: Best friend.
Alice didn't react and walks directly to the pharmacy. At this point, Randall didn't follow and looks at her with disdain.
...
Though Shane White was born into this world with a silver spoon, he is modest, elegant, and handsome. His best friend is Edward but not many people know about this because Edward is cold to everyone.
Shane finds it a rare occasion that Edward comes to look for him to drink.
"What happened? I only saw you in this manner five years ago. Don't tell me..." Shane suddenly thinks of something and looks at Edward, "Don't tell me it's because of Alice?"
"Yeah." Edward didn't deny and drinks another glass.
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
When Shane is drinking with Edward, Jacquiline is at the Smiths waiting for a night without sleeping. She knew that Edward most likely brought Alice to the Villa and that place was once their home. She had only been there once after their marriage. Jacquiline gets out of bed with her heavy eyes and meets Joanna on her way down from the second floor.
When Joanna sees Jacquiline, she feels that something isn't right. She, as a distant relative can stay at the Smith Residence but Joanna who is supposed to be Edward's fiancée has not stayed here once. "Auntie." Jacquiline walks to the living room and calls out politely.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Yes." Janet answers and turns her attention to Joanna and consoles, "That's Edward's character, I'll talk to him when he comes back. Apart from you, no one else can marry into this family, rest assured."
"Auntie..." Joanna lowers her head shyly but looks with delight at Jacquiline. When she sees Jacquiline's disappointment, she laughs coldly within.
"Didn't Jacquiline go out with Edward yesterday? How come you came back alone?" Joanna asks.
Jacquiline bites her lips gently because she didn't want to reveal that Edward went to see Alice.
Just as she is about to use a simple excuse, Joanna says again, "I heard that Jacquiline and Alice were good friends, now that you came back, I'm sure you must've visited her?"
Janet becomes agitated when she hears this and looks with displeasure at Jacquiline, "Jacquiline, you are a good girl, do not mix with Alice. She had already caused enough harm to Edward. If I find out that you are still in contact with Alice, I'll be upset!" Jacquiline knows that Janet never liked Alice and does not want Alice to become Edward's wife.
At that time when they married, Edward left the family to be with Alice. In order to give Alice a good life, he relied on his own ability and created the SA Group.
But who knew that when Edward is at the peak of his success, he found out Alice's betrayal?
No one knew the truth and only heard Janet's version and no one doubted what Janet said.
"Yes." Jacquiline answered.
Just as Jacquiline turns and prepares to leave, she hears Janet talking to Joanna and stops. "Joanna, quickly resolve the issue with Alice."
Resolve?
Jacquiline is stunned and just as she is listening in to the conversation, Joanna speaks, "Auntie, someone is around, and let's not say these here to repeat what happened last time."
That time, they had a patient who complained. In the end, it was resolved by a very capable lawyer. That's why this time they need a good plan and not let Alice escape.
"Auntie, I need to visit a friend." Jacquiline knows that with her around, Janet and Joanna will not discuss these. But she wants to tell Alice immediately so that she can be prepared for it. Janet also wanted to talk to Joanna about Alice's matters and thinks that it wasn't convenient with Jacquiline around. She waves her hand and lets her go as she wishes. Once out of the door, Jacquiline hurriedly takes out her phone to call Alice.
It rang for a long time and no one answers.
"What can I do? What if..."
Just as Jacquiline is wondering if she needs to go to the clinic to look for Alice, suddenly a voice came from behind, "Jacquiline, just as I guessed that you'll call Alice!" She turns around and it was the furious face of Joanna.
Janet didn't come out and Jacquiline is relieved. She looks coldly at Joanna, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to. If you use any underhanded means, Edward will never forgive you when he finds out."
"Forgive?" It is as if Joanna heard something funny. She stares at Jacquiline and steps closer, "Why don't you think first, will he know all these? Even then, how can Alice that kind of woman deserve to be by his side? That time she was with another man and was impregnated with wild..."
"She didn't!" Jacquiline shouts. Her fury stops Joanna from continuing. When she thought about those two cute kids, they were clearly Edward's children.
Joanna looks suspiciously at Jacquiline and raised her awareness, how does she know that Alice wasn't pregnant with Charles's kids? Does it mean that this matter Jacquiline knew all along?
She notices that Joanna's expression wasn't normal, Jacquiline feels danger approaching, she backs off a step by a step and watches in carefully at Joanna, "I don't know what are you talking about, I have something on."
"Stop right there!" Joanna blocks Jacquiline and laughs, "What else do you know? Out with it!"
"I said before, I don't know anything." Jacquiline shakes her head and denies.
But then, the more she denies, the more Joanna feels that she knows something. Her eyes are cold and chilling and stare at Jacquiline for a while. She laughs, "If I am you, I won't mention these to Alice."
As she says these, Joanna moves closer to Jacquiline's ear and says, "Afterall, you also like Edward, don't you?"
Jacquiline's expression froze and backs off several steps. She looks at Joanna and her heart races, how, how does she know?
"It's not surprising for you to like someone as talented as Edward. Except that I'm impressed that after so many years you can still be good friends with Alice. I heard that you introduced Alice to Edward?" Jacquiline bites down on her lips, at that time in high school, she was in the same class as Alice. Because they were of similar personalities, they very quickly became friends.
At that time, she was already secretly in love with Edward.
In order to see their senior Edward, she pulled Alice along to the library, in the end...
She saw for herself how Edward was smitten by Alice. They fell in love at once and married after graduation. They even joked that she was a famous bride.00000
