Chapter 330
Alice wasn’t naive, sweet, or saintly, so when she heard Alan’s suggestion, she nodded in agreement.
Indeed, there was a certain satisfaction in watching the other party get angry yet unable to do anything about it.
Then, Alan taught Alice a few ways to infuriate Sabrina and they found a resting area to have some coffee while waiting for Brian.
Due to certain reasons, Candice couldn’t make it and didn’t come over. It made Alam recall some things, prompting him to start gossiping with Alice.
“Do you know why Sabrina is taken care of and pampered by both the Miller and Clark families?” Alan asked.
Alice shook her head. She had never inquired about such secrets of the wealthy families.
“The Clark family has a custom of absolutely not wanting twin daughters. They believe that having twin daughters will bring trouble to the family. So when Amelia was pregnant, she deliberately got someone to do an ultrasound.
“What was strange is that at the beginning, they had two daughters for the ultrasound. But later on, it suddenly changed to a boy and a girl. There was a bit of a situation during birth, and they almost carried the wrong child with the Doyle family next door.”
Talking about the Clark family’s gossip, Alan felt that it would take days and nights to finish.
“So you mean that Sabrina still has a brother?” Alice asked.
“Yes, she had an elder brother, but he later became a victim of revenge when a fire incident occurred. The boy died and Sabrina was disfigured.”
Alan said while shaking his head, “That’s the story. Both the Miller and Clark families feel that Sabrina is pitiful, so they allow her to undergo countless plastic surgeries.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Alice wasn’t aware that the Clark family had such a past.
“When Sabrina hadn’t experienced the fire incident, your husband actually saved her.” Alan stared at Alice. “Has your husband told you about that?”
“Daniel saved Sabrina?” Alice was a bit surprised since Daniel hadn’t mentioned this to her before.
Alan vigorously nodded, then raised an eyebrow with a smirk. “Yes, when Sabrina was seven years old, it was said that she was apparently abducted by human traffickers. It was Daniel who found her at the amusement park and brought her home.”
This time, Alice was quite astonished. “So Sabrina liked Daniel since that time?”
Alan shrugged. “I don’t know about that. When Sabrina was seven, Daniel was thirteen, so it shouldn’t have… In any case, you can ask your husband.”
Alice rubbed her chin. “I dare say Daniel probably doesn’t even remember that incident.”
“That’s true. If he did remember… he wouldn’t have treated Sabrina so poorly.”
Saying this, Alan fixed his gaze on Alice and curiously asked, “Alice, you’re twenty-three this year, right?”
Alice nodded. “Yes.”
“Your surname is Doyle and you’re the same age as Sabrina. Oh, so the wrong child who was almost taken by the Clark family in the hospital was you. No wonder Sabrina dislikes you so much.”
In fact, Alan had noticed earlier that Sabrina’s gaze toward Alice wasn’t just as simple as that of a romantic rival.
There was a deeper sense of hatred as if Alice had taken something from her.
If Alice was indeed the girl mentioned in the gossip who was almost taken to the Clark family, then these pieces of information fit together.
Alice blinked. “The Doyle family never mentioned that I was almost taken by mistake.”
“It was discovered early at the time, only the Clark family knew about it. It’s said that the maid who was holding Sabrina at the time was scared for quite a while. Because if it had been two girls…
“According to the Clark family’s tradition, Sabrina who was born that night would have been sent abroad to a poor family as their child,” Alan explained.
As Alan elaborated, Alice couldn’t help but feel that the Clark family was quite superstitious.
What was the big deal about having twin daughters?
Proper upbringing would prevent any troubles within the family.
If one did not have a good education, no matter how good one’s destiny was, could still lead to trouble.
Alan continued, his tone turning contemplative. “Do you think that if Daniel hadn’t found Sabrina back then, perhaps there wouldn’t be so many troublesome matters now?”
From his perspective, Sabrina had coveted Daniel for many years, and even the three children were likely part of her plans.
However, Alan could not figure out why Sabrina, who supposedly liked Daniel so much, didn’t reach out to him when she got pregnant.
What reasons allowed her to independently give birth outside and then secretly place the children near Daniel, waiting, until now to make a move?
Was it only because of her young age?
But that didn’t make sense. Someone like her, driven by feelings for Daniel, shouldn’t have been able to wait even a
moment.
Alice, however, didn’t delve into analyzing Sabrina’s motivations. She was only contemplating Daniel finding Sabrina when she was seven years old.
Speaking of her own seven-year-old self, she had encountered a minor mishap back then.
It had been a car accident that left her with a forehead injury, causing the Doyle family to spend a considerable sum on her
treatment.
This led her father, David Doyle, and the rest to dislike her, considering her bad luck and believing that she was always costing the family money without bringing any benefits.
Thinking of her own seven-year-old experience, Alice couldn’t resist sending a message to Daniel.
[ Did you ever find Sabrina when she was seven years old? ]
Meanwhile, at that very moment, Daniel, who had just seated himself in the car was preparing to accompany William to an event. He saw Alice’s message and his expression changed abruptly. His brows slowly tightened, and his entire body was filled with nervousness.
“Stop the car first,” Daniel ordered coldly.
Upon hearing his order, Larry immediately asked the driver to stop the car.
William, who was sitting in the front row, looked at Daniel with cautious concern. “What’s wrong, Daniel?”
Daniel did not answer him. Instead, he dialed a call to Alice. “Alice, it’s me.”
Hearing Daniel’s voice on the other end, Alice was surprised for a moment.
She pressed her lips together before responding. “Well, why are you calling?”
“I was worried that texting wouldn’t convey it properly.” On the other end of the phone, Daniel’s voice was filled with anxiety.
“It’s nothing. I was just curious after hearing some gossip.” Alice smiled, suddenly feeling like she might have been a bit melodramatic. There was no need to ask so clearly about this matter.
However, on the other end, Daniel went straight to the point. “When I was thirteen, I encountered a little girl who was almost abducted.
“But at that time, I didn’t know that she was Sabrina. I sensed something was off and just called the police. I didn’t do anything else.”
“I see. Alice nodded.
“In fact, the most memorable thing from back then wasn’t Sabrina who was almost kidnapped. It was a little girl who got into a car accident.
After reporting the incident involving Sabrina to the police and turning away, Daniel caught sight of a little girl with at profile almost identical to Sabrina’s. She was hit by a speeding luxury car and sent flying.
He had wanted to rush forward and help, but the crowd that gathered was too dense, pushing him away.
Sometimes, he still felt guilty when thinking about it. If only he hadn’t hesitated, he had not thought about why the person looked a little like Sabrina and shouted a warning a moment earlier, the accident might have been averted.
“It’s not your fault,” Alice responded after hearing the account. She didn’t find Daniel indifferent at all. “No one can predict
danger, and besides, you were quite far away at the time.”
“Then… would you reject me just because I saved Sabrina before?” Daniel’s voice was hesitant.
