Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) -
Chapter 1032
In an instant, Victoria's lips began to tremble. She kept shaking her head, but she was so nervous that she couldn't even say a word.
Mrs. Clements looked at the situation around her, and then saw Victoria holding the child tightly in her arms. She simply pursed her lips, but did not say anything. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that she was trying her best to protect the child!
Even if she was really careless, it was just an accident. She was an elder, and Victoria was also her granddaughter-in-law. To begin with, Clinton was clearly fine and smiling. Even if an accident really happened, she couldn't be too biased either. Therefore, she just stood there and did not speak a word.
Frederick and Trevor looked at each other, and both of them noticed that something was off. In an instant, Frederick was able to guess what was going on. Fortunately, he had arranged two bodyguards to take care of Clinton and Alicia in advance. At that moment, both of them stood beside Victoria, protecting her. Obviously, they had both just made their moves. When one of them shook his head slightly to him, Frederick realized that the matter most likely would have nothing to do with Victoria.
Meanwhile, Trevor's face turned gloomy. Nearly instantly, he also figured that someone wanted to use Clinton to kill two birds with one stone. On one hand, it would hurt both the eldest son and the grandson of the third generation of Clements family. On the other hand, it would also alienate him from Frederick. No matter whether the incident ended up succeeding or not, a rift would begin to form between either him and Frederick, or between Alicia and Victoria. This was an intensely cruel move to make!
Coupled with Hallie and Penny's harsh words, and also how they purposely positioned themselves far away from the incident, Trevor suddenly began to believe Frederick's suspicions from earlier.
That family might be more insidious than he had thought.
After receiving a shock, for a moment, Alicia did not even react. For a long time, it was as if her body was completely frozen and was unable to move.
As Trevor slowly stepped forward, Victoria finally made a sound, but she began to explain anxiously, "No! Ally, believe me. Someone purposely use his leg to trip me just now, I..." However, the more anxious she was, the more flustered she became. At that time, he slowly stepped forward. Trevor glanced at Frederick and held Victoria's waist, but did not know what to say.
Frederick suddenly came back to his senses, but was at a loss for words as well. His heart was pounding. At that moment, the two pairs of them were feeling truly embarrassed! When she snapped back to reality, Alicia slowly walked forward, carefully took Clinton over, and then held him tightly in her arms.
Feeling incredibly wronged, Victoria burst into tears. She turned around and grabbed Trevor's sleeve.
"Trevor, grandma, Ally... believe me. I really wasn't being careless. Someone tripped me and pushed me. I'm really working very hard. Doctor said that I can walk normally. My legs are fine now..."
Afraid of being misunderstood as a malicious person who was pretending to be strong, Victoria was extremely anxious.
Right then, Alicia, who took a long time to regain her composure, finally found her voice.
"I know! I'm not suspecting you! Vicki, thank you for trying your best to protect my baby. I saw someone accidentally stepping on you when I lowered my head just now. I wanted to warn you..." It was a pair of white high heels!
Although she said so, she knew that person must have done it on purpose! Subconsciously, Alicia had taken a look around. However, white high heels were popular that year, and more than half of the women at the dance party were wearing them.
It had been a havoc earlier, and she was bending over to tidy up her clothes. When she wanted to look up, it was just a confusing scene of different pairs of legs and clothes of different people. When she realized that it was her, she was dumbstruck. At the moment, her mind was also in a mess. She only remembered that it seemed to be a pair of white stilettos!
"Thank goodness you were holding on tight! Thank God for looking after us... I should be thanking you!"
Unexpectedly, she was almost being taken advantage of when she just went to use the restroom and take some food! She would not forget that she handed the child to Victora so that she could carry him for her just now. Out of everyone, Victoria would be the last person she would be suspecting. After all, there was no conflict of interests between them. How could she be so silly to want to try and hurt someone without
avoiding suspicion?
Soaver International and Sofare Entertainment were separate entities!
Her words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. As they looked at each other, Alicia's eyes were brimming with tears. Victoria smiled, but her tears were streaming down incessantly. Looking at each other, Frederick and Trevor were naturally aware of the key point of the situation. The moment when their gazes met, they felt a chill in their bones at the same time.
He held both Alicia and Clinton in his arms and said icily, "Grandma, Clinton got a shock, so he should go to bed. I'll take him back to his room with Alicia!"
"Okay, okay, go back then! It's not an important banquet, you don't need to come down after!"
Holding Victoria in his arms, Trevor also said, "Grandma, Victoria is also a little frightened. I will take her home first!"
"All right, all right. I feel bad for her. Please comfort her! You should go!"
"Goodbye, grandma!"
Then, Trevor walked away with Victoria in his arms.
After sending Alicia and Clinton back to their room, Frederick found an excuse to head out. Outside the door, there was a female bodyguard standing there.
"I'm sorry, Master Frederick. Just
now, things were scattered
everywhere, and everyone's movements were a little chaotic. Furthermore, someone poked me in the back, so my attention was diverted and I didn't clearly see the person who knocked into her. Alti could do was to save her first! However, based on my analysis of the position and others' at that time, the person who touched me was most likely one of the female waiters here. As for the person who bumped into Madam Victoria, no matter whether it was direct or indirect, it was definitely one of the guests. Judging from where they stood at that time, it was most likely... Miss
Hallie and her mother!"
"I understand! The only responsibility for you and your sister is to protect Alicia and Clinton. You can't take a single step away from them, and no mistake is allowed. As for the rest, even if the world is falling apart, it has nothing to do with you!" "Yes, sir!"
Right then, the servant brought a warm drink over. Frederick took it and then closed the door.
Beside the bed, watching over the child, Alicia was still pounding on her chest. It was true that she had nearly been scared out of her wits, and her chest was still felt very clogged up. She was still frightened.
She had never imagined that on such an occasion, while being so cautious, she could still almost fall into someone's trap in such a short time frame! It was really impossible to prevent!
At first, it was to prevent people with bad intention from trying to get close to Clinton and hurting him amidst the crowd. In addition, she wanted to get closer to Clinton and let him rely on her more. So, every time she fed him milk, she would specially wear a wooden bracelet.
It was a piece of natural wood that
she had gotten hold of
unintentionally, then she had it
specially processed and crafted by someone. The light fragrance of the wood made the baby develop a sense of trust with the natural fragrance As for smells that Clinton was unfamiliar with, especially when it came to people like Penny and her family who loved to use perfumes, she picked a few special ingredients and mixed them into a fragrance similar to that, and would let Clinton smell it when she fed him milk that he wasn't used to. Disliking the milk and fragrance, he would cry incessantly. In turn, they could not be close to Clinton for too long with the reaction that he would have. At the banquet, she would get closer to the people who she allowed to hold the baby, as she had specially put some wood in her handbag.
She didn't expect that the baby would turned out to be so obedient under her training, and ended up making such mistakes!
She knocked on her own head, feeling a fit of headache.
