Chapter 204 Ethan Seeks Alice (4)

All this while. Ethan kept his head down and remained silent while he sent another text message.

“When the Woland Group was still Alice’s, she didn’t lack money. Britney felt somewhat embarrassedupon hearing Caroline’s words, but she didn’t reflect on herself and only blamed others.

Marie couldn’t tolerate it anymore and yelled at her, “Shut up!”

Meanwhile, Ethan didn’t even glance at Britney.

When Caroline looked at Britney again, her expression showed a noticeable sense of distance.“Mommy doesn’t lack money now either. Before she left, she made reservations for my clothes, shoes,and matching accessories from 4 to 18 years old. They are all very, very beautiful.”

“You said your mom made reservations for your clothes and shoes from 4 to 18 years old?” Marie felteven more remorseful toward Alice when she heard that, but she had one doubt. “How do you knowthey are very beautiful? You can’t see them now.”

“Mommy gave me an album. I’ll go get it and show it to you. Caroline quickly ran upstairs whilespeaking. After a minute, she came running back down with a thick album in her hands.

At this moment, Marie was standing by the stairs, so she took the album directly from Caroline’s handsand flipped through it, becoming more and more shocked as she looked at it.

When Caroline mentioned that everything Alice gave her was unique, she didn’t think much about it.However, now she truly realized that Caroline’s words were not an exaggeration but rather anunderstatement. She could guarantee that the clothes and shoes in these albums were not available onthe market. They were truly one-of-a-kind designs. Just the designs alone made them pricelesstreasures.

“Sweetie, which shop did your mom go to make these reservations?” After Marie looked through thealbum, her emotions were stirred up.

Caroline quickly replied, “I don’t know. Mommy didn’t say. She only mentioned that she would have theitems delivered to me periodically.”

“Alice is truly thoughtful Marie sighed deeply. “On the other hand, our family.

Holland was hot-tempered and straightforward. If this matter had been done by his son or grandson; hewould have blown a fuse. Yet, since it was his daughter-in-law, he couldn’t directly scold her. He tried toendure it but couldn’t hold back anymore. “We’ve gone too far indeed.” Then, he turned around andshouted at Ethan. “Hurry up and replace your wife! What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for someoneto bring her back to you?”

“No need to look for her. She won’t come back.” Even though Caroline was young, she understood hermother well. Since Mommy left, especially under those circumstances, she will never come back. It willbe useless for anyone to replace her. She specifically added, “Even if Uncle Ethan goes to replace her, it willbe useless.

“You’re still a child. Don’t worry about adult matters.” Holland was furious, but when he looked atCaroline, his expression instantly softened.

However, Caroline’s face immediately turned sullen. That’s my mommy. Even though you not my realmother, to me she is.”

all say

she’s

How could Holland bear to see the sadness in her eyes? When he saw that, he felt his heart break“Who says she’s not your mom? She is your mom; she was before, and she always will be.”

The hot-tempered Holland would directly scold his son and yell at his grandson, but he has alwaysdoted on and indulgest the girls in the family He used to pamper Christine excessively and now he waseven fonder of Careline. Even though Caroline had only been at the Knight Residence for three days,he already wished he could pluck all the stars and the moon for her.

With a face full of grievance, Caroline grumbled, “You scolded my mommy, saying she’s dumb andfoolish

“I spoke the truth. She’s not very clever; otherwise, she wouldn’t have…” The straightforward Hollandinstinctively started saying what was on his mind but stopped himself when he saw Caroline’s gaze

“Mommy is not dumb. She’s smart. Suddenly, the usually quiet Caroline became fierce and defensive.No one can say anything bad about Mommy.

When Holland saw her reaction, he was visibly taken aback. In the past few days, he had noticed thatshe was well-behaved, polite, and considerate. However, there was a slight lack of intimacy. He hadinitially thought she was shy, but now he understood that she was angry at him because of what he hadsaid about Alice that day. To be so protective of her mother at such a young age, she truly lives up tobeing a member of the Knight Family. “Alright, alright, you’re always right.” He nodded.

“You look like you don’t believe what I say.” She was clever and not easily fooled.

Feeling uneasy, Holland touched his nose. “We should stick to the facts. Your mom may be a little dim-witted, but being dumb also has its advantages.”

I’ve already said Mommy is not dumb. She’s amazing. Her face turned red with anger.

“What’s so amazing about her?” His eyes lit up. Does Alice have some remarkable qualities we don’tknow about? Deep down, he had always harbored a grudge against Alice’s lack of intelligence. Afterall, intelligence was inherited, and he worried about the possibility of her level of intelligence beingpassed on to future generations of the Knight Family.

Although he had his reservations, Alice had married into the Knight Family and was their benefactor, sohe never even considered driving her away.

That night, he had been furious upon learning about her theft of trade secrets. His hot temper got thebetter of him, leading him to say those things. If she has some remarkable qualities and isn’t as foolishand dumb as the rumors suggest, that will be perfect. I don’t expect her to be highly intelligent. As longas she isn’t too dumb, even being on par with an average person will be acceptable.

“Mommy, she… she…” Caroline, who had just been fierce, suddenly hesitated.

Alice had never told her about the things involving the Woland Family. She had never discussed thosematters in front of Caroline. When she was with Caroline, she was always a gentle and loving mother.She only wished for her to grow up carefree and happy, so she hid certain things from her. This causedCaroline to not know what she would usually do.

Disappointed, Holland pursed his lips. I shouldn’t have had any hope in the first place. It’s evident thatAlice lacks intelligence considering what she did. How can she have any remarkable qualities?
