Chapter 1032 - 530: Extra: I Want to Be Husband and Wife with You 3_2
As Alice placed Rachel into the cradle, she suddenly recalled what Rachel had said to her earlier that day.Rachel had only seen Chester twice since her birth, yet she felt a strong bond with Chester. Could it really be the blood tie between father and daughter?
What should she do?
She could still deceive the child now, but when Rachel grows up and asks about her father, how should she answer?
Alice sighed and sat down next to the cradle.
Inadvertently, she thought of Chester again.
Recalling the scenes in the rain a few days ago...
He ultimately didn’t leave her alone in the rain; not only did he carry her home, but he personally took her temperature...
He still cared for her as he used to.
Thinking of this, a warm current surged through her heart, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind...
He still cares about her, doesn’t he?
If he truly didn’t care, why wouldn’t he have let her stay out in the rain?
To this day, he hasn’t refused any of her requests, which also seems to indicate he cares...
Could it be as Aunt PA said, perhaps he hasn’t seen his own heart clearly?
Thinking this, Alice shook her head vigorously.
Why was she thinking further and further away?
The next day.
Alice hadn’t woken up yet when she heard a commotion downstairs.
She sat up in bed, vaguely hearing the voices downstairs belonging to her uncle Robinson and aunt Miranda Robinson.
Annoyed, she pinched the brow of her nose before a servant came knocking at the door...
After getting dressed and freshening up, Alice went down to the first floor.
Her uncle and aunt were already seated on the living room sofa with an air of authority.
Alice politely greeted them just as before, "Uncle, Aunt."
Robinson sneered, "You still remember to call me Uncle, huh?"
Miranda impatiently said, "Brother, stop wasting time with her, just say it..."
Alice calmly looked at her former relatives, seeing only predators in their eyes.
"Alice, you’re quite capable. The lawyer you hired easily overturned the evidence we had, reversing the losing side into the winning one... It seems you’re well-prepared for the final lawsuit, huh?"
Alice replied lightly, "Uncle, I’ve discussed with you before... If you could accept thirty percent of the Robinson family’s assets, we wouldn’t need to resolve this in court."
"Thirty percent?" Miranda snorted in discontent, "Alice, with so many people in the Robinson family, you plan to dismiss us with a mere thirty percent of the shares? You’re indeed generous!!"
"Aunt, you should know well that the Robinson family’s income stems from several wineries we operate in France, and the Paris Jones Winery is our oldest and most profitable, constituting seventy percent of our family’s assets... Daddy once said this winery should be inherited and continued, so the ownership will belong to our generation, while the other thirty percent of the assets I’m offering to you is fair and reasonable; even if father were alive, he would do the same."
"Don’t use your daddy to press me..." Robinson became angry, "Your daddy wasn’t even a Robinson family member!!"
Alice laughed coldly, "Uncle, do you truly believe the lies you made up can become reality?"
"You..." Robinson was instantly speechless.
Alice laughed coldly, "Uncle, Aunt, you’ve conspired to fabricate lies about Daddy not being a family member to get all of the Robinson assets. Do you think you’re justified in doing this to your own flesh and blood?"
Miranda scoffed, "Alice, even if we’ve fabricated lies, it seems the family assets won’t fall into your hands, either!"
Alice was taken aback.
Robinson quickly chimed in, "That’s right, even if it’s inheritance, the heir to the Robinson assets seems to be your brother, Chester, isn’t it?"
"I’m well aware... My brother will take over the family business."
Robinson and Miranda exchanged glances, and finally, Miranda spoke up, "Alice, if my investigation is correct, Chester seems to have returned home only once in the past two years, hasn’t he?"
"My brother has been busy with hospital affairs."
Robinson skeptically narrowed his eyes, "Really? Why do I feel Chester has completely separated from the Robinson family?"
"You’re talking nonsense."
"If I’m talking nonsense, how do you explain Chester’s indifference to you over the past two years, and why did Chester recently send people to secretly help us gain inheritance rights to the Robinson assets?"
Alice tried hard to suppress the chaos in her heart, explaining with utmost calm, "My brother hasn’t been indifferent to me; I just went to T City a few days ago to discuss the lawsuit with him. As for secretly helping you obtain the assets, that’s entirely fictitious..."
"Don’t you feel guilty saying these words?" Robinson glared at Alice, his eyes filled with malice, "Alice, there’s something I didn’t want to say, but since we’ve already torn masks off, I’ll have to say it... Rumors always circulated that Chester wasn’t my brother’s biological son, and I’ve always suspected, but as long as my brother was alive, everyone feared him, so nobody dared mention it. But after he died, I noticed some traces..."
Alice felt her body trembling, hesitantly asking, "What... what did you notice?"
Robinson said, "Alice, the relationship between you and Chester seems far from that of mere siblings!"
Alice was instantly furious, "Robinson, don’t talk nonsense!!"
"Nonsense?" Robinson chuckled, "Alice, when you and Chester lived closely together, everyone assumed it was just sibling affection. But after my brother died, your closeness became more blatant... If I recall correctly, during the time my brother passed away, you were always in T City with Chester; you went everywhere together, ate and slept together, more like lovers than siblings..."
Alice knew what time Robinson was referring to, it was when Chester was dealing with Howard Geoffrey and Skyler Jones, during which she was indeed by Chester’s side.
