Chapter 98
She rolled her eyes. In an instant, Alicia could guess what was probably happening.
Soon, Jeremy ran over with a pair of women's flat shoes in his hand. When he saw Alicia, his eyes obviously paused before he placed the shoes on the ground.
As expected, Lindsay held Jeremy's arm with one hand while she changed her shoes.
"Oh, if I had known that I would encounter Alicia, I would not have troubled you to come over! The shoes are so shabby that they broke halfway. I dare not walk around as it is dark and slippery. I'm afraid I might fall and hurt the baby! Oh, how forgetful I was. I forgot to bring my wallet, and I have just sent my car for a wash. I even have to ask you to come here—"
Alicia looked at Lindsay's broken sandals. She did not want to comment on her poor acting skills. Why didn't she just use her phone?
Was her phone used for aesthetic purposes only?
However, it was possible that he was pretending to not know either. How else could he have the chance to be a 'hero'?
Since she had met them, she had no choice but to watch their performance!
In the past, she did not even dare to imagine such a scene. How could she be so calm at the moment?
Alicia also felt quite surprised herself.
As expected, as if to prove her theory, a gentle male voice was heard at the next second. "It's okay. This is what I'm supposed to do!"
Although she was secretly despising them, Alicia cooperated with them on the surface. She thought, "Can't they find another place to act like they are in love? Why must they do it in front of her car?" At this time, Lindsay's pretentious voice came again.
"Jeremy, can you also help me persuade Alicia? How could a woman like her put on such makeup at a nightclub and fool around with other men? It's not safe, right? Alicia, I'm really concerned about you! Even if your life isn't going smoothly, women should still love themselves! If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will definitely help you in any way that I - II can... Apparently, this was her motive!
Was she just trying to prove the point that Alicia was not a good woman?
Although Alicia was angry, she smiled faintly and said, "I really have difficulties! I'm interested in getting a Cartier bracelet. Can you give me three million dollars?"
"What?" Lindsay screamed. Her face was full of embarrassment and she could no longer be gentle. "What kind of difficulty is that? If you are poor, then don't buy it. It's not like you would die because of it!" As for Jeremy, he was looking at Alicia as if he was looking at a chimpanzee in a zoo!
Alicia rolled her eyes.
"I can even skip meals just to buy that jewelry! This is my life, my choice! If you can't give it to me, don't pretend to be a good person in front of me! Don't you know that nowadays, a 'good woman' will only end up as a tired housewife? Only vixens have the benefit of living their lives! My man likes me like that too. Are you still going to stop me? I still have to make money. I don't have time to watch your performances. Don't show off in front of me in the future! Get out of my way, I still have other places to go!"
She deliberately described herself to be an unpromising woman. Alicia opened the car door and got inside immediately.
She did not care about what those two people were talking about. She stepped on the gas pedal and drove away.
She stopped at a red light and gradually loosened her grip on the steering wheel. She used to be a 'good woman'. But, how did that end up for her?
If this was the standard of judging whether a woman was good or bad, then she would rather be a bad woman! She had a clear conscience of what she was doing!
Back at home, she took a relaxing shower. Then, she placed the money she got in her drawer and locked it up. When Alicia took out a book to calculate her expenses, her initially bad mood got even more depressing.
She could barely make it through this month, and she might be able to make do for the next month too. But after that, there would be some troubles for her. She would need to earn at least 20,000 more dollars every month. And that was under the case if she did not meet any unfortunate encounters. Only then could she barely support her father!
She got a headache at the thought of this. Money alone was a huge problem for her. However, there were also two annoying people who would keep buzzing around her!
Life was so hard!
She let out a whine and looked at the butterfly earrings on the table inadvertently. Her mind wandered again. "Speaking of which, I am lucky to have him around. Otherwise, how could I even take a breather?" She looked at herself in the mirror and picked up her phone to take a selfie. She felt a little bit sexy. Hence, she sent it to Frederick.
[Hubby, I miss you...]
She did not get a reply for a long time. She thought that she might have been ignored again. She mocked herself and got onto the bed.
At this time, her phone rang. Frederick had actually called back.
She suddenly sat up, and there were happy emotions in her eyes. She answered sweetly, "Hubby
On the other side, Frederick smiled too. "Yes?"
"Hubby, it's so late already. Are you still busy? You called me because you missed me, right? There's no one to talk to you at night, no one who bothers you, no one there to warm your bed... Hubby, you must have called me because you really, really miss me..."
Because she did not have anything to tell him, nor did she know what to tell him, Alicia was afraid that he would reply with a simple 'yeah1 and hang up the phone. Hence, she continued to speak nonstop. Hearing this, Frederick almost laughed out loud. She was really good at speaking about him! However, he did miss her a lot!
When she realized that she had said too much, she said faintly, "Hubby, don't worry. Actually, I really mi

Miss you!
Before Alicia could finish her words, a delicate female voice came from the other end of the line. It also sounded very flirtatious. From her hoarse tone, it seemed like they had just finished business. "Master Clements, I've finished washing... You can take a bath now!"
After a pause, Alicia's face darkened. "I don't miss you at all!"
Men were all b*stards!
With a roar, Alicia hung up the phone angrily. No wonder he did not reply to her message earlier on. No wonder she felt like she heard some faint noise.
It turned out-
It was really foolish of her to think of him! Men were all b*stards!
She thought of the man she had loved for many years. The same man who had blasphemed her love, ruined her family, gave her a mountain of debts, and even got her friend pregnant. Then, she thought of the man to whom she lost her virginity, the man she had suddenly married. She also thought of how they would love each other unconditionally and hugged each other so enthusiastically. He became the man who was cheating on her...
It was as if he had slapped her in the face. It felt like her life was only full of sadness. She could not help but burst into tears.
Why did she send him messages? She even sent him so many sweet messages.
"Alicia, you are just being cheap! Don't cry!" she told herself.
She slapped herself hard on the face. Then, her phone rang again...
