Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2303

Alma didn't understand what Alice was saying, but she just didn't want to lose. She raised her head and didn't want to be so self-abased in front of Alice. "Alice, if my family was good enough to match up with Henrick's, he wouldn't have given me up easily. I didn't lose to you. I lost because of my ordinary family."

She had no say in the family she was born into. Although she was not reconciled with her situation, her mother had been very kind to her all these years.

"Alma, people can't choose which family they're born into, but they can change their own disadvantages as well as the status quo, and work very hard. For you, you just did it in the wrong way. In the end, you lost to yourself. In fact, for Henrick, no matter what your family conditions are like, what's most important is that he likes you, rather than where you came from."

Alma's heart skipped a beat when she heard what Alice said; it was exactly the same thing as what Henrick had said before. It was as if she had suddenly understood something.

Then, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Seeing that Alma had an understanding, Alice smiled and turned to leave.

Alma's sudden enlightenment was like the most deadly knife to her. It was more cruel than putting her in prison. She would live in regret for the rest of her life.

After Alice left, Alma stood rooted to the ground, her mind blank. She finally understood what Henrick had said. Back in the hotel, she had thought that he was just joking. He had said that he did not care about her family background as long as she had a good character.

However, right then, she suddenly understood that even if she was kind-hearted, it was impossible for Henrick to fall in love with her. He had always only had pity, but no love, for her.

Alma looked up at the sky with tears in her eyes. The sun was burning, but her heart felt like it was dead.

She didn't like Jaime and even if she married him, although she didn't need to worry about food and clothing, she couldn't avoid Henrick's anger and revenge.

Since she was involved in this matter, Henrick would not let her go so easily.

Alma cried for a while. It was not until she saw Jaime coming to pick her up that she made up her mind to go over.

She was still afraid, afraid that her life, and everything else, would have to start over again.

Therefore, she still wanted to go with Jaime. Even if she lived humbly, it was better than standing at the bottom of society.

Alice was no longer interested in watching Alma's future life, because Alma was no match for her, whether now or in the future.

Alice waited in the reception room for about ten minutes before Michelle was brought over.

She had not been officially imprisoned yet, so she was not wearing prison clothes.

Having not seen her for many days, Alice found that Michelle had lost a lot of weight. Her hair was messy, her face was sallow, and her eyes were sunken. Without any makeup, she looked very ordinary. She was totally different from the Michelle whom Alice knew in the past.

On the contrary, when Michelle saw that Alice was more beautiful than before, she became agitated.

She shouted at Alice, "Alice, since you're fine, why should I be locked up here?"

Alice looked at her calmly and saw that she was crazy. There was no trace of the former Michelle, who used to be arrogant and liked to show off. The experience of a dozen days behind bars had got rid of her attitude.

"Michelle, you are too worked up. Sit down and rest for a while." Alice's tone was very calm, and her eyes looked straight at her.

The agitated Michelle felt weak, as if she had just punched cotton.

She collapsed onto the chair, making a loud noise, and there was a mocking expression on her face. She sneered and said, "Alice, are you here to laugh at me?" There was a lot of sadness in her voice. She wanted to maintain her pride, but it seemed that she was utterly powerless.

Alice said calmly, "You're right. I'm here to laugh at you."

"We've known each other for so many years, but you're so cruel to me. I really want to see you. I wanted to know why you did all this."

"Haha." Michelle laughed crazily after hearing her words.

Alice didn't disturb her and let her laugh to her heart's content.

That might be the last time they saw each other. They would never see each other again in the future.

Michelle laughed for a long time before she stopped. It was not until she burst into tears that she looked at Alice.

"Alice, why did I do this? In the face of interests, human nature has always been so ugly. You have read books, studied, and received a good education. Don't you know about human greed? With desires and interests, sometimes family love and friendship can become worthless? Family love, affection, and friendships are always thinner than paper, unable to bear any tests."

"If you want to blame someone, you should blame this society. It's too disappointing. Getting Henrick is equivalent to getting half of the Asia. If you get money, you'll be rich for the rest of your life. Who doesn't want to take this risk?"

"What's more, he's so handsome. He's the most handsome man I've ever seen. I was tempted to meet him the first time I saw him, but you're the only one in his eyes. Do you know how jealous I was when I saw him picking food for you and peeling shrimps for you?"

"There are so many women in the world, but why does he like you?"

"What's so good about you? It's just that your family background is better than mine. How can you win his favor?"

"I'm your friend. Of course, the first feeling I have is jealousy. I'm very jealous of you. I'm jealous that he's so nice to you, but you don't deserve it."

Michelle's every word, every expression, and every action were full of sarcasm and insult.

Alice looked at her calmly and smiled. "Although I heard your sincere words, I'm not sad at all."

"Now, I feel that nothing can be changed except for life, aging, illness, and death. I can wait for any surprise and accident."

Where there was conflict, the ugly side of human nature would rear its head. She had already understood this.

That was because everyone had good and evil in their bodies. As long as one side lost balance, they would be out of control.

After she left, she would no longer feel guilty.

It was not hard to understand that Michelle would do something so extreme. Of course, when her desire for power and money reached an unimaginable level, she would lose control and go crazy. "Alice, you're fine, so is Henrick. Can you let me go? I'll go abroad after I get out of here. I won't appear in front of you again. Let me leave, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, okay?" Michelle was still so arrogant, even when she was begging and asking for help.

Alice finally understood something. Michelle had always spoken to her like this. Over time, this became engraved into her bones. When Michelle faced her, she still liked to give orders.

Alice stood up with a beautiful smile and said, "When you wanted to ruin me, you never thought about our friendship. I came here to see you because I didn't understand one thing. Now that I know it, I should leave. I have an appointment with Henrick to go watch a movie."
