Chapter 162
Chapter 162
She picked up a small piece of cake with a tiny fork and took a bite. Yes! How could she let her love for Frederick overwhelm her so much?
Was it really as Victoria had said, that she felt this way just because she had worked too hard? So much that she needed a strong shoulder to lean on at any time?
Was it merely because she had been confused?
In an instant, Alicia really felt that she knew less about this man than she had about Jeremy.
She had known Jeremy for three years and yet he still hurt in the end. How long had she only known Frederick for?
After thinking about it, Alicia felt that Victoria's words were very reasonable. Maybe every woman's first was valuable to them after all.
After venting her anger for an entire day, at this moment, Alicia had finally calmed down.
"Ally, your scars will not be healed if you keep disturbing them. They will only get worse. Why don't we go to the alumni gathering? We have not done anything bad and have a clear conscience, what are we afraid of? There are some things that you have to face! Be it Jeremy, Lindsay, or our former friends! The reason why secrets are mysterious is that they are hidden. If you let your heart out, it may not be a problem! We don't need to give up everything just because of the two imbeciles, do we? If we were not destined to meet, we might not even be friends in the first place. Won't you feel bad for losing such a good friend like me?"
Alicia stopped stirring her drink and paused, then she couldn't help but sigh. Yes, in the past three years, friends had also become a luxury to her.
However, at the thought of everything in the past, Alicia still had a lingering fear. "I'm not interested. If I go, I'll probably be ridiculed!"
"Women who are in love really are dumb. Our gorgeous Miss Blanchard is no exception! Ally, the more they want to laugh at you, the better you should live your life! This is the best way to get revenge! Let me tell you, your look alone is way better than ten million girls! Didn't Lindsay try to imitate you? Then, you must attend the gathering while looking the best to let all those people see! Of course, you must be mentally prepared so that when they say something about you, you can ignore it. If you don't care about it, they will feel agitated, then the rumors will be resolved. This way, you can get rid of the memories of your old life. Don't tell me the reason you left Bayton City to come to Casterwich City was that you like it here."
No one would be willing to leave the place where they had spent decades living unless that place was really trash.
The corner of Alicia's lips twitched and she remained silent.
Yes, they had no choice but to come to Casterwich City. In Bayton City, their family drama had taken over their lives. They were forced to struggle to live while being ridiculed. Alicia's mother was so furious that she even cried. She would be humiliated and harassed even when she was looking for a job...
Moreover, in terms of medical treatment, it was better in Casterwich City. Actually, they had relatives here in Casterwich City as well. However, unfortunately, it was a pity...
The past was unbearable. The reason why she came to Casterwich City was to escape and to start over again.
Unexpectedly, the world was so small. She had many old friends and enemies in Casterwich City too. In fact, it was not surprising. After all, Casterwich City was the most prosperous and developed
city in the world.
Tor the sake of what you did for me last time, I will risk all my life to accompany you today. What do you feel like doing? I'll keep you company! Oh, by the way, didn't you say that you're going to pick up the loot? What's going on?"
Suddenly, Alicia came back to her senses and told her about Marshall. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I guess he's mad now! However, he's really good at playing the claw crane! In just a few minutes, he caught the two biggest plushies for me. In fact, they are in my car now! It is huge and so adorable! It's not cheap too and the manager's face was priceless. I think you have seen the man, he was the one who bought a dance from me... Do you still remember him?" "I don't even know where this fool came from. He must've gotten the wrong person. I don't even know him and yet I could still get something out of him..."
Alicia's hand gestures became even more exaggerated as she got excited recalling the events. Victoria was staring at her wordlessly, thinking that she was indeed a heartless woman. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
She had been worried about Alicia for nothing!
"Vicki, did you hear what I just said?"
Feeling excited, Alicia raised her hand and waved it in front of Victoria, hoping to get her response.
Victoria waved her hands and rolled her eyes at her.
"The 'fool' is sitting right before me. It's obvious that he's interested in you. He likes you! What do you mean by he has gotten the wrong person? I don't think someone would talk to the wrong person several times."
She was speechless.
"But, I really don't know him at all! I've never seen him before—"
How could he just have feelings for someone this easily? How unreasonable! She felt that he must be crazy if he really did like her!
Patting her head, Victoria was at a loss for words.
"Darling, don't you know the phrase 'love at first sight'? Now you know how charming you are! You can easily get a man by just crooking your fingers!"
Although Alicia had thought of this, she always felt that it would be too narcissistic! She shook her head and replied, "I hope that it is not true! Love and men are the worst things that have ever happened to me. If I get involved with them, there will be no good outcomes. I will definitely have bad luck!"
Especially at the moment when she was still in a mess with Frederick. Every time, she would get caught and end up feeling devastated.
"In these two years, although it has been very hard, my days are actually very productive and peaceful..." Truth be told, she was very fond of it!
If it hadn't been for Lindsay, she probably wouldn't have had anything to do with Frederick!
Thinking of this, Alicia couldn't help feeling sad again. How could anyone plot against her when she was already being so cautious?
She really didn't know what their aims were.
Otherwise, she would have lived a great life with her mother at present and she would not have so many worries!
"Alicia, you can't stop fate. Just because you almost choked when you had fish once, does it mean that you won't eat fish for the rest of your life? There are still good men in this world. Not everyone is as bad as Jeremy. Don't miss your chance if you meet the right person..."
As Victoria spoke, she raised her eyes and saw Lindsay and Jeremy standing at the door. Victoria couldn't help but choke.
"What a jinx! Speak of the devil!"
Looking back, Alicia couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What? Just how bad is my luck?"
When their eyes met, an annoying voice could be heard. "Victoria, Ally? It's really you! It's been a long time since we last met. What a coincidence!"
