Chapter 112 Alicia, the Good Show Has Begun (Part One)
...
I just came to work.
"You guys should hang out and date!" As Madame Charles spoke, she held Kieran's and my hands together and pushed us outwards.
Kieran did not refute. He took advantage of the situation to hold my hand and agreed. "Got it, Grandma!" He then pulled me out of the office.
My mind instantly went blank. I instinctively wanted to go back. This morning's misunderstanding had not been solved yet. I had no courage to face Kieran. I was afraid that Kieran would devour me alive. No, he might cut me into pieces!
"Rachael, Kieran, you guys have fun. Don't come back in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you spend the night outside!" Madame Charles warned loudly and kindly behind.
Kieran pulled me into the elevator. My body instantly stiffened like a stone. After the elevator door closed, it was deathly quiet. I didn't even dare to look up. No, I wished I could just close my eyes and find an underground hole to bury myself alive.
Why did I give Kieran artificial respiration at that time? What gave me such great and abnormal courage? Why?
"In front of Grandma, behave yourself. Don't make slips!" Suddenly, Kieran spoke without any emotion or warmth in his voice.
I was shocked, and then hurriedly nodded. "I will!"
I still didn't dare to look up. However, in such a narrow and deathly quiet space, everything became exceptionally awkward and magnified. Even if I didn't raise my head, I could still clearly feel Kieran's gaze falling on me.
As time passed, I felt my heart pounding.
I didn't think this was going to work. I had to explain. After a strong struggle, I lowered my head and whispered, "I ... I didn't do it on purpose!"
Kieran didn't say anything. In the exceptionally quiet elevator, sweat began to cover my forehead. I clenched my fists and mustered up the courage to say again, "I ... I thought you fainted. That's why I gave you artificial respiration. And...."
Kieran suddenly coughed. I instinctively looked up and saw that Kieran's ears were a little red. He seemed to be blushing, looking so unnatural!
"Do you want to die?" Suddenly, Kieran stared at me. His scarlet eyes were cold, and strong pressure completely enveloped me.
I hurriedly lowered my head and shook my head repeatedly. Indeed, it was my illusion. How could a person like Kieran be shy? "Don't mention it again!" Kieran ordered coldly.
"Yes!" I hurriedly agreed, and I felt a lot relieved. Fortunately, Kieran didn't cut me into pieces or throw me into the Pacific Ocean.
"I'll get even with you for this." I was still in a good mood when Kieran said coldly.
I suddenly froze. Sure enough, it was still too early for me to be happy. However, no matter what, it was great that he didn't intend to punish me right now. Perhaps Kieran would let me off as long as I behaved myself from now on.
Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't told Kieran about that thing. I believed that Kieran would definitely like it!
"Mr. Charles, tonight is the 20th anniversary of Marvin's company. I would like to invite you to watch a good show with me!" I looked at Kieran and smiled. When I thought of how wonderful the night would be, the hatred that I had suppressed for decades was replaced by excitement.
Kieran glanced at me indifferently. "My time is very precious. Your good show must be worth my time!"
"Definitely!" I nodded repeatedly. Of course, tonight's show was worth it!
Kieran and I arranged the time and separated from each other near the company. Kieran had something to do. Looking at the especially blue sky today, I smiled and said, "Alicia, I'm coming!"
I took the bus directly to Marvin Group. Once I got off the bus, I saw the lights outside the company from afar. It had a festivity atmosphere. There was a huge red banner hanging on it. It said the 20th anniversary of Marvin Group.
I narrowed my eyes. The 20th anniversary of Marvin Group?
This was the result of my grandfather's lifetime of hard work. If it weren't for my grandfather, there would have been no Marvin Group and Marvin would not have enjoyed such a high position.
However, instead of thanking my grandfather for giving him all his life's effort, Marvin even hounded my grandfather and my mother to death. He allowed Shania, a ruthless homewrecker, to act like a tyrant, and enabled Alicia, who deserved to die, to enjoy glory and wealth.
I clenched my fists tightly. 'Grandfather, mother, I will definitely not let them off. On the 20th anniversary, I will make them cry. They will have no nerve to face the public and media.'
I smiled and walked forward step by step.
Although Marvin Group was not of the same standard as Marlon Group or Universal Group. However, it could be considered as an established one in the business world. Therefore, on the 20th anniversary, influential people and media from all circles showed up. There were even ushers and security guards at the entrance. It showed the grandeur of the 20th anniversary of the Marvin Group.
"Do you have an invitation?" I walked to the door, and the security guards on both sides stopped me. The security guards examined me in disdain, as if the question was superfluous.
However, this is exactly what I wanted. I looked at the media that surrounded Marvin Group, and my eyes were filled with joy.
"I, I don't!" But I pretend to wear a panicked smile.
"This is the 20th anniversary of the Marvin Group. No one is allowed to enter. Don't make trouble here!" The security guard said impolitely.
I wore plain jeans, a T-shirt, and old sneakers. Anyone would treat me as a poor girl who was not supposed to be here.
The truth was the same!
"I ... I am Marvin's daughter!" I said.
As soon as I said that, the security guards on both sides and the ushers who were responsible for leading the guests into the auditorium looked at me mockingly. The security guard who stopped me earlier said with contempt and even stuttered like me, "You ... you are you Mr. Cornell's daughter? Do you believe that I'm his son?"
"I am really Marvin's eldest daughter!" Pretending to be sincere, I tried my best to convince them.
"Scram, or don't blame me for being impolite!" The security guard loudly berated, "You're crazy!"
Our movements attracted the attention of the surrounding media. The media caught a selling point and took pictures of me excitedly. Without any doubt, the title must be that on the 20th anniversary of Marvin Group, a bumpkin pretended to be Marvin's daughter.
I grabbed the security guard's hand and looked at him with an anxious and sincere expression, "I ... I didn't lie to you!"
The security guard shook me off, and I was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. My foot was grazed, and blood quickly flowed out.
The media became even crazier. They kept on shooting at me. I covered the corners of my eyes with my hands, but my appearance was revealed. Facing these endless and crazy flashes of light, I put on a faint smile.
Marvin had never announced my existence to the public. On Marisa's 80th birthday, Marvin introduced me briefly. But that time, it didn't have any effect at all. In that case, few people would remember me. I knew what Marvin was up to. He wouldn't announce my identity to the public unless I married Kieran. Otherwise, he would never tell the outsiders about my existence.
However, I would not let him get the result he wanted. He didn't want outsiders to know it, so I would inform everyone that Marvin's eldest daughter had been neglected for a long time!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
