At the red light, she raised her hand and patted Miriam on the shoulder, comforting her.

"Don't think that way. It isn't common to encounter a weirdo like that. Look at me, aren't I happy? There are still many good men around! Family matters are always complicated. We have no choice but just to try our best to help her..."

"Yeah, you're right! It's not good for us to take the initiative to intervene in this kind of matter either. She has a tough character and always keep things to herself. If I hadn't witnessed it myself several times, she wouldn't have said anything herself! It's so worrying!" After dropping Miriam off halfway, Alicia turned around and went home. Due to what had happened that day, she was very high- strung. However, when she returned to her room and picked Clinton up, she only felt indescribable happiness. Compared to Daisy, she was more than lucky.

After feeding Clinton and playing with him for a while, his eyes began to shut. Then, Alicia took out her cell phone and looked at the various news articles about Laven and Howard. She got up and unconsciously strolled around the room. What could she do to help Daisy out?

Ronnie was still so young. Daisy was just too pitiful! That innocent little soul was really having it hard. Ronnie didn't know anything yet, but she had already become her own father's prey!

When Frederick returned home, he saw Alicia holding her cell phone, frowning so hard, her eyebrows were all wrinkled.

He slowed down his steps and glanced at Clinton, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He walked over and pulled her into his arms from her back. "What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"

Alicia turned around and hugged him back. Pressed up to him, she shook her head. At that moment, she was desperate to feel his tenderness and warmth.

She knew how heavy his workload was. Subconsciously, she didn't want to add to his burden. After all, anything could become the straw that broke the camel's back. Daisy didn't ask for it, but as her friend, she wanted to help her, doing what she could. However, she didn't want to be a saint or anything like that. It was not her style to meddle in other people's affairs.

Therefore, at that moment, Alicia felt that she could only help with what she was able to. If there were things that she really couldn't be of any help with, then she would let it go.

Frederick caressed her hair. He had pretty much guessed most of it. However, since Alicia wasn't bringing it up, he wouldn't make the first move to mention it either!

After holding it in for a long while, during dinner, Alicia finally couldn't help but to ask, "Hubby, about what happened to Laven... What's your father's stand on it? Didn't he look for you?"

Although Frederick had never regarded or called Christian his father, as a daughter-in-law and a family member of the younger generation, Alicia still had to abide by her duties, obligations, and interests!

"Why would he come looking for me? I have nothing in common with Laven, I'm not a homosexual..."

He took some food for her and wasn't concerned with it at all. "Eat more. Don't starve yourself over people who have nothing to do with you!"

Rolling her eyes, Alicia was speechless. "Stop avoiding it. You know that's not what I'm asking!"

"Leave worrying problems like this to your husband. You just need to stay clueless and live your daily life! Let your brain relax for a while more, and just be a little silly girl!"

"Hubby..."

Alicia threw him a whiney glance and pouted. "If you keep teasing me like this, I'll be mad at you!" How dare he say she was a silly girl?

He chuckled and raised his hand. Frederick poked her little face and said seriously, "Don't worry, I have a plan! This can't be covered up forever. All I'm doing is just exposing it a little earlier!"

His words verified what Alicia had guessed. It was indeed his doing!

Just as she was about to speak, his deep tone interrupted first.

"There are some conflicts that can't

be resolved! When it comes to

profits, there are always disputes even among brothers! It's not that I'm a fan of a massacre, it's just that some things are unavoidable at

times! Ally, I have to protect you and our child!"

He did not want to provoke anyone, but that did not mean that he would let them go! His rise was a thorn in someone other people's eyes.

Immediately, she realized that something was already happening under the calm surface. A bloody storm might already be brewing. Alicia held his hand.

"I understand. I don't blame you, I just want you to protect yourself! Don't worry, I won't drag you down, and I know how to deal with dad and grandma! Hubby, no matter what decision you make, I support you, and baby and I will be with you forever!"

The vicious scene from New Year's

Eve flashed across Alicia's mind again, like a thorn in her heart. He was right She also needed to protect her child! Clinton was still so young and did not know anything yet but those people had already started to plot against him!

The human world was the same as that of animals. The law of the jungle remained, making only the stronger ones survive. It was equally cruel.

As their held their hands with their fingers intertwined, they looked and smiled at each other. Then, the two continued their meal...

At that moment, in the Castle family in Yecaeus City, Waverly had gone home for the New Year. She had quarrelled her head off with Jaguar. In the room, even after using some dolls as a punching bag, she was still huffing with rage. When Harry came up with dinner, that was what he saw. At the sight of him, Waverly threw a teddy bear to his feet.

"Hmph..."

Putting down the plate, Harry frowned and said, "Watch your manner!"

After bending over, he picked up the teddy bear that had fallen to the ground, patted it, and put it back on the corner of the sofa.

Waverly walked to the edge of the sofa angrily, and glared at him with a cold gaze. "Do you want to smash the plate as well?"

As he said those words, Waverly's half bent body stopped in mid-air. She pursed her lips and then sat down heavily on the sofa, pulling a cushion over her.

In the family, Harry loved her dearly and had always given she what she wanted. However, when he really lost his temper, she would get extremely terrified!

Sitting down on the other side of the sofa, Harry glared at her and said, "I think you've been spoiled rotten! I should send you to a refugee camp in Africa for two weeks, and see if you could still have a temper like this!"

In an instant, Waverly's small red lips unhappily pursed into a line. However, since Harry came in, she didn't dare to retort him.

The next second, a slice of plain bread was placed in front of her, leaving her with no room for negotiation.

Even though she was really unwilling, she still took it and took a small bite. When Harry got angry, he would be much scarier than Jaguar. He might actually get physical!

The bread was her favorite kind, it was made with fennel.

Seeing that she had vented most of her anger, she was taking small bites of the bread, and looked so aggrieved, like she had lost her appetite completely. Then, he spoke up.

"Dad's decision wasn't wrong either! What kind of 'love' could a poor person give? If you can't even support yourself, what can you give to someone else?"

Waverly raised her eyes indignantly. Just as she was about to throw the bread back, he shot her another fierce stare.

"Did I say anything wrong? Do you

think 'love' is something that you can just say as you wish? If a poor man is really responsible, he wouldn't drag a woman he loves down with him when he wouldn't even be able to provide for himself for another day!"
