Zain was not at all surprised to hear that Alice was coming home.
He just didn’t expect that in his heart, Kennedy was so important that he would have to fight and hoard even his family’s assets for him.
-Leave some men to continue to inquire after Kennedy’s whereabouts while we return home.
There was a large contingent returning home, including Nathan, who was covered with wounds and also boarded the plane.
He was Kennedy’s deputy, and when he heard that Oliver wanted to retake sole control of the Moore Group, he immediately jumped up in anger, then winced at the tear in his wound.
Yanis was speechless.
-Always remember that you are a patient, do you think you are a high jumper?
Nathan was speechless.
On the plane home.
Alice leaned back in her sleeping seat and opened her eyes when Zain took off his jacket and covered her with it.
-Everything settled? I’m afraid there’s going to be a tough battle if you intervene.
Alice pursed her lips and nodded.
-There’s really no need to think about it, as long as it belongs to him, I want to have all this intact before he comes back.
-I know, if you need anything just ask.
-No, this is a Moore family matter and I don’t want the Nelson family involved.
Zain was silent, but finally did not answer.
Just as he stepped off the plane, Zain’s cell phone rang. It was Santino, his gentle voice on the other end of the line.
-Sir, when Jack found out that you and Miss Alice were coming back today, he had to drag me to see you off at the airport. He begged me to do it, so-
Zain sniffed and looked up to the front: -Santino, are you at the airport already?
-Yes, we were on this side of the pick-up gate and there were so many people that I didn’t let Jack come down for fear of crowds.
-I got it.
After hanging up the phone, Zain looked at Alice beside him.
The torment of these days had made her whole body look much thinner, and she looked much looser in her previous clothes, and she was without makeup, and her lips and face were a bit pale and haggard.
Who would have thought that once Kennedy got in trouble, Alice didn’t care even about her son.
Thinking about it, Zain pursed his lips and thought for a long moment before speaking timidly, -I called Jack to pick us up.
Alice’s footsteps faltered, followed by Megan and the others behind her.
Everyone thought Alice was going to have a fit, but she responded nonchalantly, -Really? Well, let her keep it.
No one said anything, after all it was obvious to everyone that Alice didn’t want to see Jack and wouldn’t even talk to him on video calls.
Everyone couldn’t decide what was on her mind now, so they just followed her out.
There really were a lot of people coming to pick up the plane.
Some media even got the news that they were returning home and were deliberately waiting at the airport for interviews. After all, Kennedy’s crash was big news in the North City.
Alice, who was the bride at that wedding, was naturally a key figure in this conversation.
As soon as they came out, there were a lot of flashes directed at Alice.
-Oh no, wasn’t the news of the return blocked? How come there are so many media outlets here?
Yanis smacked his lips at the sight of so many people, but quickly reacted and rushed forward to cover Alice’s face, looking like he was protecting his little girl. -Stop filming, you are violating the portrait rights of others, understand?
Someone replied, “What portrait rights? We just want to interview Miss Alice.
When she finished, someone crowded around.
Alice was expressionless, seeing the camera almost crash into Yanis, and reached out to drag it behind her, watching the group with cold eyes.
-Please be careful and if I harm anyone else, I will sue your company directly.
His aura was cold, completely different from the softness of the wedding day, and his aura was so strong now that the crowd took a small step back, but a few bold ones stepped forward again.
-Miss Alice, we just want to interview you, we are not going to hurt anyone, you are directly saying that you are going to sue our company, isn’t that too insensitive?
-So what?
The smile on Alice’s face turned a little colder as she took a step forward, -May I ask what I have to do? Am I a star? Am I a public figure? Have you gone to all this trouble to interview me with my consent? If I were to sue you, it would be a normal defense of my rights, because you have seriously affected my life, and who would say that I am insensitive.
Probably because her words shocked the crowd, the media looked at each other for a while, actually lowered their cameras and stepped back.
Soon the crowd relented and Alice led the way out.
-“Stop it, what are you so proud of? You think you’re so great just because you’re Miss Nelson’s family? What’s the point of being so proud when your future husband is dead?
-That’s right, the way I see it, the Moore Group will soon change, and she’s still here to be haughty.
-We’ll see, let’s see how long she can be left like that.
Of course, nothing that these people said reached Alice’s ears, and if she had heard it, she would have been quick to pick a fight with somebody.
The group only dared to whisper a few complaints behind her back, after all, with their status, they wouldn’t dare mess with any of the big families in North City.
Not to mention Nelson’s and Moore’s.
***
Yanis followed Alice intently, noting that the press had effectively retreated to the back and none had raised their cameras again.
-Wow, Alice you are amazing, I didn’t think they were so afraid of you.
Nathan nodded his head in agreement.
Alice’s footsteps suddenly rushed as she saw the Nelson family car parked at the curb.
The moment Alice saw the car door open, she thought nothing more than that, and hurried over and then got into the car with a particularly coherent back-and-forth motion, all at once.
Everyone was surprised before realizing that there were so many media around them that, had they seen Jack, there would have been a lot of commotion.
Jack wanted to open the door and jump into his mother’s arms, but he didn’t expect Alice to be faster than him, and before he could react, Alice was already sitting inside the car.
-Mom?
Because when he had video-called her earlier, his mother had been reluctant to pay attention to him, so now Jack was worried too, and he cocked his head to look at Alice and timidly called out.
