Chapter 322
Amelia was quite surprised that Daniel had arrived so quickly.
She had thought that even if Daniel liked Alice, he wouldn’t be able to drop his work at any time to come and see her. Besides, she hadn’t done anything excessive; she had just given Alice a little lesson.
Daniel’s speed of protecting his wife left Amelia at a loss for words.
She even had the illusion that no matter how hard Sabrina tried, she would probably not be able to sna tch Daniel away.
It seemed like his heart was already occupied by Alice.
Yet, even with Alice involved, Amelia was determined to fight for Sabrina’s interests.
Sabrina still had a premarital pregnancy record. If she didn’t marry Daniel and went to another family, she would be ridiculed.
How could Amelia bear to let her beloved daughter suffer in someone else’s family?
Daniel looked at Alice with concern and asked in a tense voice, “Are you hurt? Did she hurt you?”
Alice shook her head, assuring him that she was fine and there was no need to worry.
Even though Amelia had come with an imposing manner and several people, Alice wasn’t someone anyone could easily intimidate.
When Daniel saw that Alice was indeed fine, his expression slowly turned from gloomy to sunny. When his eyes met Alice’s, they softened so much and seemed to be dripping with tenderness.
Amelia had never seen such a gentle expression on Daniel’s face. She was a little shocked.
“Mrs. Clark, now that Daniel is here, I believe our stance is quite clear,’ wouldn’t you agree?” Alice calmly retorted.
There was no trace of subservience on her delicate face.
Even though she might not have the same status as the Clark family, Alice was an independent person who never felt the need to bow to authority.
“Alice, don’t forget that those three children aren’t your own! They might be close to you now, but as they grow up and realize the importance of their biological mother, what will you have then?” Amelia said coldly.
There is a disdainful expression on her noble face. She was intentionally sowing discord, trying to create an insurmountable gap between Alice and Daniel.
Daniel’s aura shifted, his presence becoming overpowering. His gaze turned icy and sharp as he stared at Amelia. At this moment, he felt nothing but extreme disgust for Amelia.
Daniel tightly held Alice’s hand, wanting the whole world to know that she was under his protection. No matter who it was, no one could bully her.
Even if the Clark family had a strong background and countless resources.
“Yes, children will have their own judgment when they grow up,” Alice said and looked at Daniel.
Hearing this, Amelia’s eyebrow twitched slightly, thinking that she had successfully provoked Alice.
However, Alice’s gaze then shifted to Amelia.
She mockingly continued, “But they aren’t part of the Clark family. They have a caring upbringing and proper manners. They won’t face failures in life like some people I know.”
Amelia’s face changed drastically. Her delicate features darkened instantly as if a storm was brewing within her.
She even cracked the cup she was holding with the pressure of her grip.
She was from the renowned Clark family and had never been mocked like this by a younger person. Alice was outrageously audacious.
She thought that Sabrina was right; Alice was a very annoying existence.
“If you were my daughter, I would definitely strangle you to death!” Amelia exclaimed angrily.
Alice Doyle sneered. “I’m sorry, but there are no ‘ifs’ in this world.”
She certainly wouldn’t be her daughter.
She had no intention of being family with unreasonable people.
15:55
Seeing Alice’s obvious disdain for her, Amelia’s blood pressure soared, and she wished she could immediately give Alice a good lesson.
You wretched girl, even if you were offered to me as my daughter, I wouldn’t want you!”
“Always calling others wretched, what about yourself? Have you ever reflected on that?” Alice retorted without holding
back.
“You!” Amelia was truly infuriated, and she didn’t care about anything anymore. She picked up the ashtray from the table and aimed it at Alice’s head, ready to throw it.
Just as it seemed the ashtray was about to hit Alice, Daniel suddenly embraced her, using his body to shield her from the blow
The ashtray hit his body, producing a dull sound that seemed painful.
Alice’s eyes widened, and she became furious.
Amelia had insulted her with words multiple times, but now she had gone so far as to hurt Daniel.
Alice was fiercely protective, and seeing someone she cared about being mistreated, she couldn’t stand idly by.
Without hesitation, she grabbed a nearby glass of lemon water and splashed it towards Amelia.
“If you don’t know how to stay calm, let me help you, Mrs. Amelia.”
Amelia didn’t expect Alice to react this way, and she didn’t even dodge in time. Her hair got wet, and her face was covered in water droplets, making her look somewhat disheveled. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
The bodyguards on Amelia’s side rushed over upon seeing this.
“Stay back!” Amelia didn’t want the bodyguards to witness her disheveled state.
“Get out of my sight!” Alice shouted at the bodyguards. Then she turned her cold gaze back to Amelia. “And you, Mrs. Clark, kindly leave our sight as well.”
Amelia’s face turned iron-grey with rage.
The Clark family’s bodyguards were dumbfounded.
They thought that Alice was too audacious that she even dared to shout at Amelia.
However, they couldn’t shake the feeling that Alice’s presence was reminiscent of their master.
The intensity and aura felt more like she was the queen of the Clark family.
Amelia took a few deep breaths, using tissues to quickly wipe the water off her face.
She then clenched her fist, her lips trembling with anger.
Amelia was from a prestigious background. She had led a proud life and had never been treated like this by anyone.
How could this brash Alice dare to act so arrogantly? What gave her the right to be so bold?
“Darling, are you feeling better now?” Alice didn’t pay attention to Amelia’s reaction, turning around to immediately show concern for Daniel.
At this moment, Daniel’s complexion had improved slightly, but his primary concern was whether Alice was okay or not.
His reaction caused Alice’s heart to tighten slightly, bewildered by his excessive concern for her.
“Little wretch, you’re truly lawless! Believe me or not, I can have the Clark family deal with you!” Amelia’s voice trembled as she shouted.
“Sure, if you have the guts, have your Clark family members come and try to kill me now!” Alice looked at Amelia, coldly smiling. “Being tough with words means nothing!”
“I didn’t grow up being scared! Mrs. Clark, you lack reason, resort to violence, and are ruthless and overbearing. Someone like you truly doesn’t deserve such a prestigious position!”
“If I were Mr. Clark, I wouldn’t have married someone like you in the first place!”
“You…” Amelia was truly on the brink of losing her temper. It felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat and could not go down no matter what.
She wished she could swallow the girl in front of her whole. “Alice, you can be sure that, with your sharp tongue, your bad luck will catch up to you sooner or later!”
Danger glinted in Alice’s narrowed eyes as she smiled. “Whether I’ll have bad luck or not, you don’t need to worry about it.
If you have the time to care about me, why not spend it finding out if your precious daughter needs treatment?”
