Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2288

Alice didn't want to talk nonsense with him as she found that she would never be able to outspeak Henrick.

"Mr. Henrick, let's have a drink." A middle-aged man came up and Alice took the opportunity to leave.

Henrick looked at Alice's back and smiled. He picked up a cup of wine, clinked it with the middle- aged man's, and took a symbolic sip.

He was not good at drinking, and he was not greedy. At parties and banquets, he hardly ever drank. Even if he wanted to drink, Josue would help him secretly change his drink to plain water.

As the heir of Alwynn Group, his life was carefree, but he would not let himself lose control.

"Mr. Henrick, do you plan to develop any projects in Lemmon City this time?" The middle-aged man came to inquire about the news.

Henrick smiled and said, "I may disappoint you. I came to Lemmon City this time for my girlfriend. As for whether I should stay here or not, I'm still considering it."

There was a development project, but there was no need for him to do it.

He was still focused on pursuing his wife.

The middle-aged man was a little disappointed and smiled flatteringly. Opportunities were given to those who were prepared. He had been looking for a chance to cooperate with Alwynn Group.

Thus, he found a topic to chat with Henrick.

As for Henrick, he didn't care about which wine glass he picked as he took one casually.

He just took a sip and held it in his hand.

Michelle, who was not far away, frowned.

Henrick didn't drink, so she couldn't carry out her plan.

Alice had already been diverted, and the plan had begun. Presently, Michelle was just waiting for Henrick to drink the wine, and then, her plan would succeed.

On the other side, as soon as Alice came out of the bathroom, she was blocked by Belinda.

She frowned slightly and just nodded. She did not want to talk to her.

When she was about to leave, Belinda blocked her way.

Alice suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her unkindly.

Belinda sneered and said, "Alice, don't you know your own family background and identity? How dare you be with Mr. Henrick? I think you'd better give up. Michelle's family background is very good. As long as she marries him, it will be good for us. What do you think?"

Alice was amused by her words. How could she have the confidence to say such words? "Belinda, you can't be like this."

"Why not? Hmm?" Belinda asked with a smile, aggressive.

Alice's eyes were full of smiles. "Isn't it good for me to marry Henrick? Why should Michelle marry him?"

"Because your family background is not good?" Belinda sneered and called out again.

Alice was furious. Sometimes, she really couldn't keep a low profile.

"Belinda, I remember that in Galaxy Shopping Mall, your family rented two shops to do business, right?"

Belinda proudly raised her head and said with a smile, "Yes, it was rented from Klein Group. It doesn't matter, but it's almost impossible to rent a shop in such a good location."

Alice also nodded. "Yes, that is a good location. Those two shops should be the only sources of income in your family."

Belinda was a little embarrassed. "Yes, but it's still better than your small company." Her tone was hurried and ashamed. The two shops were the only sources of income for her family, but it was quite considerable as she could live a carefree life without going to work.

Alice nodded, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.

The person on the other side greeted her respectfully, "Miss."

"Mr. Foster, could you please inform those two shops owned by the Kline family in Galaxy Shopping Mall? I want to take them back."

"Okay, Miss. I'll call them right away."

"Haha..." Belinda sneered and retreated. She didn't believe that Alice had such an ability. "Alice, who do you think you are? The eldest daughter of the Clarke family?"

Alice replied, "You're right. I am indeed Bert Klein's biological daughter. Don't you like to use your family background to oppress others? I'll also let you have a taste of it. How will you continue living after losing your sources of income?"

"Ha..." Belinda laughed angrily. "Alice, you really dare to admit that. We were college classmates. If you had such a good family background, how could I not know? Look at the clothes you are

wearing..."

"The clothes I'm wearing are very beautiful, but they're not branded, right?" Alice interrupted her.

Belinda had to admit that, and it was why she was jealous. Alice could also dress beautifully despite wearing clothes from random street stalls.

"Let me ask you, what's wrong with those clothes? Eden, the president's wife of Alwynn Group, helped me design them. My family orders our clothes from her every year. Each item of clothing costs more than your family's annual income."

Belinda's face instantly drained of color.

At this time, the phone in her hand also rang. When she saw that it was her father calling, she didn't want to answer it. Then, she thought of Alice's call just now. She hesitated for a moment and answered it.

"Hello, Dad."

"Where are you? Hurry up and come back to think of a way. The Clarke family suddenly wants to take back the shops. Just now, Mr. Klein's assistant called me in person and said that Miss Klein wants to take back the shops."

The phone in Belinda's hand suddenly fell to the ground. She looked at the gorgeous and elegant Alice in disbelief. She was really the eldest daughter of the Clarke family.

"Alice, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Don't take back the shop, okay?" Belinda couldn't care about Michelle's plan now. Without the two shops, her whole family would have a hard time. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Her brother was still in college. Without a source of income, they wouldn't be able to afford her brother's tuition fees.

Alice looked at her coldly. "Isn't this what you want? Using your family background to oppress others."

After saying that, she left. Belinda picked up her phone and chased after her, blocking her path.

"Alice, I'm sorry. I really didn't do it on purpose. It was Michelle. She and Alma conspired to drug you and Mr. Henrick. When you came out of the bathroom, I was supposed to distract you and hold you back while the man arranged by Michelle would come over and bring you to his room. Michelle took Henrick to the hotel room. I was too consumed by the thought of getting money for a moment, so I did this. Alice, I'm telling you all this, and I hope you can keep it to yourself. I will never appear in front of you again."

Alice looked at her in disbelief. It turned out that there was such danger hidden in the fact that Michelle invited them here that night.

She hoped that that b*stard, Henrick, didn't get drunk.

Alice couldn't be bothered with Belinda. She turned around and ran back to the party. However, before she could run a few steps, she was hit by someone behind her. Her vision went dark and she fell to the ground.

"D*mn it!" Before falling to the ground, she was still very worried about Henrick.

"Ah..." Belinda looked at the man wearing a cap in horror.

However, the man raised the baseball bat in his hand and quickly knocked her out.

The man was very strong and dragged the two women to the underground garage quickly.
