Celeste raised her eyebrows and signaled the two strong men, “Search it out.”
As soon as she said that, the two strong men snatched the phone from Alice’s pocket.
Alice ran into the bathroom, and as soon as she unlocked the door, she took a small cell phone from the box containing toilet paper. She smiled proudly. Fortunately, she had planned for the long term enough to know that Celeste would come after her sooner or later while Louis was away. So she was also prepared and put a spare cell phone in her bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and study.
It was also quite heartbreaking when she bought it with a lot of money. But this would come in handy now, so she felt that it was worth the money.
She quickly pressed the shortcut key 1. Each mobile phone only saved two numbers. One was Louis’s number, and the other was 110. Although she only saw see the father-in-law on the wedding day, at least he was a public security director. Even if he didn’t like her, out of public justice, he should save her …
“Hello?”
Once she heard Louis’s voice, Alice lowered her voice and said urgently, “Where are you? Hurry back, your mother is here.”
Louis was stunned, “Why did she come here?”
“Crap, of course, she’s abusing me.”
Knock knock-.
They knocked on the bathroom door and there was a quick thump on the door and the voice of my stepmother, “Are you okay? Going to the bathroom takes more time than people giving birth to babies!”
She trembled and said, “I’ll be right out. I’m suffering from diarrhea.”
She put the phone to the ear, but heard that he hung up. She was nervous. What did Louis mean? Did he rush back when knowing that she was in danger? Did he ignore her because he thought she was strong?
The sound of pounding on the door became heavier, and she heard the voice of the strong man, “If you don’t come out, we’ll break-in.”
Alice saw that there was no way to hide, so she had to open the door, and before she stepped out of the bathroom, she was picked up by two men grabbing her arms rudely.
“What are you guys doing? Let go of me!”
She struggled hard, and Celeste glared at her coldly, “If you don’t want to suffer, just be sensible and shut up.”
“Auntie, what are you doing? I’m your daughter-in-law.”
Celeste smiled sarcastically, “Daughter-in-law? I’d never admitted to having a daughter-in-law like you!”
“Take her away!”
As soon as she gave the order, the strong men grabbed her away. Alice shouted hard, “Help, help …”
She shouted herself hoarse. But no one jumped out to save her, and she was about to be stuffed into a car when suddenly a silver-white car crossed the road and parked in front of Celeste.
Then, Louis walked down from the car.
He looked gloomy and questioned his mother, “What are you doing?”
Celeste didn’t expect him to come back at this time, her eyes twinkled as she replied, “Nothing. I just invite her to my home.”
Kevin glanced at Alice and asked mockingly, “Do you invite her like this?”
The strong man let go of Alice’s arm after hearing this, and Alice hurriedly ran behind Louis and said in fear, “If you come back one step later, you’ll bury my body!”
Celeste raised her chin, “It’s that she is too wary of me. She’s immune to soft ways, so I just use hard tactics.”
Alice was helpless. She didn’t say anything but sneered in her heart. soft not, playing from the beginning never soft with her!
“No matter what your purpose is for coming here today, I must warn you don’t try to hurt my woman again, or else don’t blame me for striking back.”
Celeste suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked incredulously, “Louis, what are you saying? Do you mean to break off with me for this woman?”
“I’ll do that if I have to.”
Celeste slapped her son hard, “Bastard, you married her and didn’t care your mother, right? You must never do this to me!”
“I’ll do whatever I want. It doesn’t matter to me whether I have a mother or not anyway. I’ve long been used to being with my father for so many years.”
After Louis said that, he pulled Alice’s hand and angrily turned around to leave.
Entering the door of the apartment, Alice sat down in a huff on the sofa, vigorously rubbing both of her wrists that had been pinched by the strong man and were red and painful.
Louis sat across from her and after a moment, said, “I’m sorry.”
Alice knew that he apologized to her on behalf of his mother. She would have forgiven if he had said it for himself, but she didn’t want to forgive if it was for his mother.
After a few more moments, Louis looked up at her and saw that she still looked aggrieved, so he asked, “Are you still angry?”
“Shouldn’t I be angry?”
She retorted sharply.
“You should, but I’ve already apologized.”
“What’s the use of you apologizing? It’s your mother who’s sorry to me.”
“Then do you want my mother to apologize to you?”
Alice roller eyes at him, “I really don’t deserve this.”
“Alright, don’t be angry. You weren’t hurt. What are you angry about?”
“That’s because you made it back in time. What if you hadn’t?”
Alice raised her eyebrows in aggravation, but thought about it and found it strange, “Why did you come back so soon?”
Louis sighed, “Even if you didn’t call me, I’m on my way home. I will attend an academic meeting at two in the afternoon, and I need to bring some information over.”
“Then I’m really miserable. I’m lucky today, but next time I might be devastated.”
“No, I’ve warned my mother. She shouldn’t hurt you again in the short term.”
“Short term? Well, it looks like I can’t escape after all.”
Louis stared at her indignant look and asked teasingly, “What? Do you regret it?”
“The reason why I promised to marry you before was that Bella gave me hope. When she and Kevin got married, Kevin didn’t like her either, but at least her in-laws liked her. What about me? You don’t like me and even your mother doesn’t like me. It’s reasonable that I regret it.”
Louis giggled, got up and said, “Change your clothes and treat you to a good meal to make up for it.”
Alice blinked woodenly, “Really?” Wasn’t he going to some academic conference?
Louis didn’t look back, but raised three fingers and reminded her as she walked out the door, “Waiting for you for three minutes. I won’t wait if you’re late.”
Only then did Alice turn her sorrow into joy and smile happily as she scampered into the bedroom to change clothes.
After Celeste returned to the office from her son’s residence, her face was livid, and when she thought of her son threatening to break off their relationship with her, she was even more furious, pushing all the items on her desk to the floor with a clatter.
It happened that at this time, Freya came to the company to look for her.
As soon as she entered her office, she saw a mess on the ground, and she asked nervously, “Celeste? What’s the matter? ”
“My rebellious son made me angry.”
Celeste gasped angrily.
Freya came around to her side, quickly raised her hand to knock up her back, and said sweetly, “I am wondering who messed with you. It was Brother Louis. He is your own son. Don’t angry with him. Don’t be angry. Anger is bad for your health.”
“You don’t know he married a woman I resent, not to mention that he even said in front of that woman that he wanted to break off relations with me.”
Freya laughed, “Only you can believe such words. He was just scaring you. Don’t you think he would really do this for a woman?”
Celeste sighed and said sadly, “You don’t know he should blame me for leaving him for France when he was eight years old.”
“Even if you left him at eight years old, he wouldn’t disown you. Blood is thicker than water and your relations can’t be erased by any means. He’s your own son that you carried in your womb for ten months.”
Hearing her say this, Celeste was relieved a little, holding Freya’s hand and saying, “Thank you, Freya. If my son marries you, it would be better than marrying Alice. At least this way I won’t feel unbalanced.”
Freya bit her lip, “Godmother, the person I like is Kevin. You know that …”
Celeste nodded, “Hey, of course, I know. Otherwise, I would have let you be my daughter-in-law long ago.”
This was what Celeste came to see her for today. She took a deep breath and directly said, “Godmother, actually I came here today for this matter. I know that before you wanted to break up Bella and Kevin and let Bella marry your son. Now Louis has married someone else and your plan has failed. Will you still help me get the person I love? ”
Celeste smiled kindly at her, “Of course, Louis is my son, and you are my daughter. I treat my son and daughter the same.”
Celeste was very happy to hear that, “Then how do you plan to help me?”
“I’ll introduce you to someone tomorrow who might join forces with you to accomplish your mutual goals.”
“Who is it?”
“You’ll know when you see each other tomorrow.”
Celeste did not point out directly, so Freya did not ask any more questions. In fact, Celeste was trying to be harvesting.
The next day, at the Left Bank Coffee downtown, Freya met the person her godmother had introduced to her as promised, none other than that vile and filthy rich man Richard.
“Miss Macadam, right?”
Richard asked solemnly after taking his seat.
Freya nodded, “Yes, who you are?”
“My surname is Cotton, and my name is Richard.”
She thought about it quickly and she asked uncertainly, “Could it be that you’re the businessman Richard who bought Bella as his daughter-in-law?”
Freya had some understanding of the news from a while ago.
“Yes.”
Richard admitted frankly.
Freya smiled, so she was sure that the person in front of her definitely shared the same goal as her.
“Since you’re introduced by my godmother, I don’t think there’s any need to hide it. So let’s get straight to the point.”
Richard nodded, “Good.”
He looked around and said, “Bella is very ungrateful. Back then I reached out to her when she was in the most difficult time, but I didn’t expect her to turn her back on me when she became an adult. It’s unacceptable no matter what.”
“Are you trying to let her marry your son?”
“I wouldn’t dream of that, but even if my son can’t have her, I won’t make it easy on her! My son is devoted to her and I will make her feel the pain of losing her lover!”
