Chapter 17
Alice’s face darkened as soon as Travis finished his words.
Alice thought, “I didn’t expect Travis would do this.
“This man is more difficult to deal with than I imagine.”
Travis said, “Alice, I really like you! I will wait for you even if you marry another man. With me keeping
increasing pressure, I don’t believe the husband you choose can spend the rest of his life with you!”
Alice retorted. “Sorry to disappoint you. He can!”
“Mr. Richards? Alice? Why are you fighting?” Maisie’s voice arose by the door, She sounded shocked.
Travis’s expression changed after he saw Maisie. He walked to Maisie and said, “Maisie, you and Alice
are good friends. Please help me to persuade Alice to get a divorce now and get married to me
instead.”
Maisie was delighted when she heard that Alice was married. However, Maisie pretended to be
surprised and cried, “Oh my go d, Alice! I can’t believe you are married! What kind of husband did you
get?”
Travis immediately replied, “Alice? A contractor is the best guy she can get. Look at Alice now. No one
from rich families will like her except for me!” Travis felt pretty confident about himself.
Maisie said mockingly, “Mr. Richards, you shouldn’t assume the worst situation for Alice. What if she…”
Travis interrupted. “Maisie, no need to save face for Alice. I have pursued her for a long time. I know
better what kind of men surrounded her than you!
“I can say Alice will live a life worse than a vagrant’s if she doesn’t get a divorce and marry me now!”
Maisie said, “Aren’t you exaggerating too much?”
Travis and Maisie kept judging Alice. They belittled Alice as a waste of space. Candice stood aside and
got annoyed when hearing the conversation between Travis and Maisie. Thus, Candice walked to Alice
and gave her a glass of water.
Candice said, “Alice, ignore these two idiots. Drink some water to calm down.”
Alice took over the glass and stared at Travis and Maisie. They were pointing at Alice and talking about
how miserable she was. Then Alice narrowed her eyes and splashed the water toward Travis and
Maisie.
Travis and Maisie were talking excitedly. When they got splashed, they changed their expressions.
Maisie was the angriest one of the two. She widened her eyes and shouted, “Alice! How dare you
splash water on me?”
Alice replied, “Yeah, it was me. Do I need to pick a perfect time to splash you?” Then Alice clapped her
hands and looked at Travis. He looked resentful and sulky.
Alice said, “Mr. Richards, nevertheless, I’m married. It’s unethical to badger a married woman!
“You can continue to badger me if you want the netizens in the country to attack you.”
Travis threatened angrily. “Alice, you will be shelved by the company as long as I send a word!”
Alice sneered and asked, “Mr. Richards, is this all you have to threaten me?”
Travis replied, “Humph! Yeah, this is all I got! Alice, I’ll get to you again tomorrow morning! Just see
what I will do if you don’t get a divorce and choose to marry me until tomorrow!”
Alice waved her hand and did not want to continue the conversation with that idiot.
Alice walked out of the dressing room with a gloomy face, clenching her fists.
Alice thought, “I didn’t expect this. Travis still badgers me even though I have already got a marriage
license. I can’t believe. all my efforts are in vain!
“I’ve worked so hard in Hollywood for years. I fought all the way to become today’s me.
“Will all my hard work be destroyed in one day?”
Candice noticed Alice was upset. Thus, she suggested tentatively, “Alice, if you have no way around
that matter, how about reaching out to Frankie? He should probably save your career,”
Alice patted Candice’s shoulder and did not reply.
Alice thought, “Frankie… I can surely reach out to him. However, I will have more trouble if I ask him for All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
help.”
Alice went to the hospital with complicated feelings. She saw two chubby kids run toward her when she
exited the elevator.
It looked like the kids had been waiting for Alice for a long time.
