Chapter 135

“What the f*ck?!” Irvin’s mouth dropped. That’s Alice? The one rumored to be dumb and useless?

Her aura was astonishing.

Suddenly, Irvin thought of a sentence to describe her aura at that moment. Be it demons or gods,whoever stands in her way will be slain.

He had only seen this commanding presence on Ethan once and suddenly felt Alice’s vibe matchedwell with Ethan’s.

He felt as if Alice could very well truly become Ethan’s wife.

But, where’s Alice going? Is she thinking of killing someone? Does she need help? I can pass her theknife and even help her bury the body.

Alice went straight to the lounge Charles was in and entered the room. Then, she closed the doorunder everyone’s watchful eye.

She saw Charles sitting on the sofa looking fine and smiled lightly.

However, the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Instead, her eyes were filled with cold mockery.

“You couldn’t wait any longer and took action,” Alice stated confidently. She didn’t question him as thesituation was as clear as day.

She had always chosen to believe in Charles. Yet, he betrayed her trust and devised such a plan., fullyintending on destroying her.

“Why? Is it because I’m of no value anymore? You’ve sucked all that you can from me, so you want totoss me into jail.” Alice was intelligent and accurately guessed Charles’ thoughts.

Back then, Charles didn’t take any action because she still possessed some value, and he could stillsqueeze something out of her.

Alas, in their eyes, she was utterly worthless now.

The Glenn Group was taken over by Elijah while the other assets that belonged to Lucas and Siennawere also stolen by the other Wolands.

Besides that, Alice gave the Woland Group to Bruce. So, she had absolutely nothing in her corner andcould be disposed of.

If the Wolands wanted to prevent Alice from going after the things that belonged to her parents, theeasiest way was to eliminate her from this world.

This was a great idea and they had pulled off the perfect plan. This was human nature. Greed stoodabove all else when it involved money.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Charles avoided her eyes and didn’t admit to her accusation.

“You still want to put up front even now?” Alice felt this was laughable as Charles was playing a sicklypatient earlier but was hale and hearty now.

Even Sophia, who was filled with excitement that she practically dashed to the right lounge to watch theshow, couldn’t understand what was going on in Charles’ mind. It was already far too obvious thatCharles was in on it and there wasn’t a need in playing the kindly grandfather any longer. What’s thepoint?

The corners of Charles’ lips twitched, but he stayed silent.

“Elijah doesn’t have the brains nor the guts. He’s just an idiot. He can’t devise a ten-year-long plan.”Alice knew what Elijah was made of because he could only achieve nothing but failure. Still, she had to

admit that she had initially thought Elijah was the one who gave the Yeager Family the idea.

However, it seemed that she had overestimated the man.

“All this while, it was you behind him.” So, Charles was the one helping Elijah all along.

“Well, it seems that you’re far from stupid,” Charles admitted to it candidly and dropped the act as hefelt there was no need for it anymore.

Perhaps he felt that Alice was dead meat and wouldn’t be able to save herself from this, so he didn’tneed to act any longer.

“Ha… So, you were the one who spread those rumors? What now? You’ve been spreading them for solong that you started to believe them?” Alice scoffed. They spread rumors to slander her but deceivedthemselves in the end.

“Sometimes, being too smart isn’t a good thing. This is the end for you. It wouldn’t change things evenif you knew, so why add salt to the injury?” Charles didn’t care about Alice’s mockery and tried topersuade her to ‘see the light’ as it were.

“The end? Are you saying that I committed murder, so you want me in jail?” Alice never knew Charlescould be so two-faced.

“Of course. You were the one who killed her. When the police arrive, we’ll play along with the law.”Charles was a cunning fox. He thought Alice was trying to trick him into saying something useful to herand was worried that she had a recording device on her. So, he played it safe.

Yet, Alice just looked at him indifferently as if looking at a lowly person. “I’m afraid the person who canaccuse me and send me to jail doesn’t exist. You are just a nobody and think too highly of yourself.”

“You! Brat! Is that how you speak to your elders?!” Charles wasn’t an open-minded person. In fact, hewas petty.

People like him lacked confidence but were too proud for their own good. He would not tolerate peoplelooking down at him. So, Alice’s words hit a sore spot.

“Elder? You’re not worthy of the term.” Alice felt that he was utterly shameless. He still tried to pressureher by acting as her elder even now.

“Let me see what you have gotten from me after all your little plans. My grandpa’s company. Myfather’s assets.” Alice laughed, before continuing, “These things… I will take them back.”

“I will destroy what you care about. I will take back what you so desperately want. All those that yougained through your little plans will not be yours to keep,” Alice said with a small smile and used thegentlest expression while saying the most brutal things.

“Who do you think you are? If you really had the capability, you wouldn’t end up like this.” Charles didn’tbelieve her but was still slightly worried after he caught sight of her expression.

Regardless, he was more furious than anything when he heard her threatening words. He felt as if hispower was being challenged by Alice.

Alice’s smile grew wider, “No one can stop me from doing what I want. Just you wait.”

“I’ll be waiting to see you go to jail!” Charles scoffed in disdain. Even though he was worried, he knewAlice would be powerless the moment she stepped foot in prison.

Although there was a nagging feeling in his heart, he believed Alice was filled with nothing but lies andwas just making a last-ditch effort into fooling him. Of course, he dismissed the terrible premonition inhis heart and focused on his anger due to her disrespectful attitude.

Then, Alice glanced at him before suddenly asking, “Is my father your biological son?”
