Terrence Edmin’s inquiry immediately reminded Alice Jiang of the change in Snow Cecy’s emotions during their wedding dress fitting.
She had always suspected that something happened at the wedding dress store, but Snow Cecy didn’t want to say anything about it, so Alice Jiang had to let it go and stop asking.
Now thinking about it carefully, there were many problems with that incident.
“I’ll have someone check the surveillance footage from the wedding dress store that day and see if there were any suspicious people near her,” Alice Jiang said with a faint smile. “Don’t worry, our family will protect her.”
“Thank you.”
Terrence Edmin already had a rough idea of what had happened, but he didn’t dare to think too much about it.
Because in the wedding dress store, the only place where Snow Cecy was alone was in the dressing room.
“Edward Edmin…” He squeezed his phone tightly, and there was already a clear desire for revenge in his eyes.
Snow Cecy hasn’t left the Jiang family’s gate for the next few days. The incident at the wedding dress store had left a deep shadow on her heart. But fortunately, Terrence Edmin returned soon.
He came to the Jiang family’s house as soon as possible. When he saw Snow Cecy, who looked a little tired, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. He walked up and pinched her cheeks, smiling and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you missing me so much that you can’t eat or sleep properly when I’m away for a few days?”
“Don’t flatter yourself. I’m just dealing with some messy things, so I’m busy…” Snow Cecy pouted with disdain, but still reached out and hugged Terrence Edmin’s waist. “But, I do miss you!”
She almost dreamed of Terrence Edmin every night. She missed the sense of security that his embrace brought her.
Terrence Edmin kissed her earlobe while holding her neck. “If you’ve been wronged, you can tell me directly…”
“I haven’t been wronged. I’ve been staying at the Jiang family’s house and haven’t gone out,” Snow Cecy lied.
The next second, Terrence Edmin saw through her lie. “Didn’t you go try on wedding dresses with your aunt? Did you find a style you liked?”
“No,” Snow Cecy replied. She felt scared and nauseous when she thought of what happened that day. How could she possibly like any wedding dress?
“Tell me what happened that day in detail,” Terrence Edmin said, sitting down on the sofa with Snow Cecy in his arms. He furrowed his brows, staring at her. “Snow, I don’t want us to have any secrets between us.”
Snow Cecy didn’t want to hide anything from him either. But the person involved was Edward Edmin, Terrence’s brother. That made things complicated.
Seeing her hesitating, Terrence Edmin furrowed his brows slightly. “What? Did something happen in the changing room that you can’t tell me about?”
“No,” Snow Cecy replied.
Snow Cecy immediately retorted, “He strangled me and wanted to threaten me…”
“Hmm?” Terrence Edmin’s hand also rested on her neck, but very gently, obviously filled with concern.
Snow Cecy couldn’t argue with him, so she had to tell him about her conversation with Edward Edmin in the dressing room.
After hearing it, Terrence Edmin’s eyes turned as dark as ink.
“He really thinks he’s invincible these past few years…” Terrence Edmin seemed to have murderous intent.
Snow Cecy quickly stopped him, “Don’t do this. He probably just lost and went a little crazy. That’s why he wanted to go to extremes. If you really do something to him, then I’ll feel like I’ve been fooled!”
“Don’t worry, he doesn’t have that kind of cunning.” Terrence Edmin sighed helplessly, “He’s just a spoiled loser.”
Terrence Edmin was very aware of what Edward Edmin had been doing in India over the past few years, but he had turned a blind eye to it.
However, if they really counted the final reckoning now, Edward Edmin would not be able to stay with the family for long.
“Terrence Edmin…” Snow Cecy grabbed his hand and said seriously, “I don’t want your hands to be stained with the blood of your own family, so can we find a more peaceful way to solve this problem?”
Her eyes were filled with pleading.
“Okay,” Terrence Edmin agreed very directly.
He smiled gently and pinched her cheeks, “Don’t worry, I’m not a bloodthirsty person. I won’t even be so cold-hearted that I can’t tolerate my own brother…”
“That’s good enough.” Snow Cecy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Terrence Edmin leaned in closer to her, “Snow, I miss you so much…”
“Hmm?” Snow Cecy blinked, feeling her face inexplicably heating up as she watched him approach.
The next moment, his lips were on hers, and he pushed her body down onto the sofa…
…
After Terrence Edmin left, Snow Cecy stayed in bed for a while before getting up.
As Snow Cecy went downstairs, she ran into Alice Jiang.
Alice Jiang looked at her and gave her a suggestive smile. “Mr. Edmin’s patience really isn’t enough. He’s about to get married and he’s still sneaking around in our house for this kind of thing…”
“Uh…” Snow Cecy’s face turned red instantly, and she stared at Alice Jiang with wide eyes. “Alice, I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
“Don’t pretend. We’re all adults here, and besides, I’ve been through it too. Do you really think I’ve never been in love before?” Alice Jiang pinched her flushed cheeks.
This action made Snow Cecy’s face even redder.
She hung her head, not knowing what to say.
“Anyway, I have some good news to tell you.” Alice Jiang handed her a document. “My brother sent news from Switzerland that the patent has been successfully applied for, so this medicine can be launched soon!”
“Really?”
Snow Cecy’s face lit up with happiness, and she pulled Alice Jiang’s hand and jumped up and down. “Qingqing, this means there will be a lot fewer cancer patients in the world from now on…”
“Yes!” Alice Jiang nodded with a smile.
Seeing how happy Snow Cecy was, Alice Jiang’s mood also improved.
“You really have talent in this area, so I think you can develop towards becoming an anticancer specialist in the future and help many cancer patients.” Alice Jiang suggested to her.
“I also think so, so I will work hard!” Snow Cecy’s face was full of determination. She had suffered from cancer herself before, so she knew how painful it was for cancer patients. If she could help many people avoid such suffering, it would really be a great deed.

Krist Castle.
Terrence Edmin rarely came here on his own initiative, unless Chris asked him to come for something, otherwise he would only come to visit Lady Edmin.
Now that Lady Edmin was living with him, there was no chance for him to come here on his own.
However, today Terrence Edmin had the driver bring him over directly.
As he got out of the car, Terrence Edmin walked quickly into the living room.
Mr. Edmin was surprised to see Terrence Edmin come over directly after returning to France, and stood up, “Terrence Edmin, what brings you here? Is there something going on with the company?”
“No, everything is going smoothly there,” Terrence Edmin said calmly. “But things aren’t going well here in France.”
