A Rose 456
The moment Victoria stepped out of the hospital, Alice rushed over, clutching her arm and crying out, ” Victoria, you must help me! I’m doomed otherwise.”
Victoria was puzzled to see Alice in such panic. “Alice, didn’t Wilson already invest in your family business?”
“Yes. Mr. Wilson did invest in us but now KW Corporation has suddenly targeted our family, and we’re facing bankruptcy again!”
The thought of her family’s dire situation made Alice cry even harder.
Victoria bit her bottom lip. She was shocked to learn that Wilson would do something like this. He had promised to help the Robertson family by Investing in them. Yet, he secretly used KW Corporation to suppress them.
“KW Corporation is one of the top four global financial conglomerates! They have the Shadow Alliance behind them. How can our family afford to offend them?”
Alice clutched Victoria’s arm tightly and continued, “Victoria, please ask Mr. Wilson to help us again. Can you save the Robertson family?”
Victoria frowned, feeling troubled. “Alice, I really can’t help you anymore.”
“Why not?” Alice clearly didn’t expect Victoria to refuse her. Her emotions spiraled out of control as she shouted with frustration.
“Why can’t you help me once more? Wilson is so good to you. All you need to do is to ask for his help and I’ll be saved. I’m so disappointed in you. You’ve let me down! You said I was your best
friend, but it was all a lie.”
“I wasn’t lying.” Victoria hurriedly grabbed her hand, desperately trying to explain. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Alice, I’ve been sickly since childhood and never had a single friend. I truly consider you my best friend. However, to help you the last time, I had to beg Wilson and even bring up my deceased parents. That’s the only reason he reluctantly agreed.
“But you saw what happened today. Wilson cares so much about Yvie. This time, he won’t help unless you get Yvie to forgive you and drop the matter.”
“That bitch Yvette will never let me off!” Alice screamed, her voice breaking as she stumbled. Her face and body were covered in bruises, and she looked both disheveled and frantic, barely able to stand.
“It’s over. Everything’s over!”
“Alice, calm down.” Victoria reached out to steady her, but Alice shoved her away.
“Get away from me! Just leave!”
How could someone like Victoria, a friendless orphan, live so well, while she had to endure her family’s bankruptcy and be forced to marry a disgusting old man? Why wasn’t she the one Wilson protected?
Consumed by anger, Alice stormed out of the hospital. Just as she hit rock bottom, her phone rang– an unknown number flashed on the screen.
“I can help you through this, but you’ll have to do something for me in return,” the familiar voice said as soon as the call connected.
Alice widened her eyes in surprise. “Is that you, Lionel?
The silence on the other end confirmed her guess.
Alice’s expression darkened after recovering from the shock. “Why should I trust you?”
Lionel was just a lowly bodyguard. How could he possibly help her?
Lionel scoffed and replied with contempt, “Because you don’t have any other choice but to trust me.”
