The president's seventh bride

Chapter 13: A Well-matched Adversary

"Mom, I can't take this bracelet."

Alicia declined politely, not because she was afraid of Carlos' sharp eyes, but she really thought it was

too valuable.

Even if the devil's blood flows in her body, there will be an angel's conscience occasionally.

"Why not?"

Mrs. Sara’s face was bleak. She thought that her son's ruthless words had hurt Alicia.

"I just became a member of the family. You keep it first. It is not too late to give me when I am qualified

to accept it."

Carlos’s face finally relaxed after hearing that. He was very satisfied with her sensible answer.

"It doesn't matter. Since I admit you, you will be my daughter-in-law all my life, even if ..."

She glanced at her son and reluctantly said, "If you can't stand such a marriage and want to leave, I

won't blame you. You can take this bracelet away or leave it home. Do whatever you like."

After Mrs. Sara said that, she stubbornly put the bracelet on Alicia's wrist. Alicia was at a loss at first,

but she couldn't bear to refuse because of the firmness in Sara's eyes.

Alicia knew Sara's kindness and intention. Sara wanted to use this bracelet to make her always live

here.

Alicia went upstairs wearing the jade bracelet which symbolized the Noel-Baker family's future hostess.

She sat in her room, waiting for someone to question her.

As expected, she returned to her room just one minutes later. The door rang loudly, "Alicia, come out!"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

It was the first time to hear Carlos calling her name, which made her hair stand on end.

She meekly opened the door, "What happened?" She asked while knowing the answer.

"Give it back."

"What?" She kept asking deliberately.

Carlos was too impatient to talk nonsense with her. He rudely squeezed her wrist, "Do you want to take

it off yourself, or want me to do it?"

"This is what mother gave me."

"It seems that you want me to take it myself."

When he just tried to stretch out his hand and forcibly take the bracelet, Alicia reminded him, "If you do

it, I will tell the whole family that you lost a bet."

Carlos' deep eyes reflected the dangerous signal, "You're threatening me?"

"I am forced to do it."

He suddenly turned 90 degrees, pressed her against the wall, gnashed his teeth and said, "Maybe I

made an unwise choice from the beginning."

"From the beginning, you chose a well-matched adversary."

She even dared to correct him. Maybe she got really tired of living. Carlos suddenly laughed instead of

being angry. The smile turned out to be creepy and cold.

"Well, I won't take it, but don't regret it at this weekend."

"Do you want to break your word?"

"No, I will accompany you back to your family as I have agreed, but I can decide my behavior in your

family."

Obviously villains can always outsmart. Carlos easily caught her weakness.

Alicia thought for a few seconds and compromised, "Will you behave well if I return the bracelet to

you?"

"I can reconsider it if you do so."
