Chapter 2284
Jaime was afraid that the deal would fall through, but since Mr. Church had said so, he had to give up.
Alma also knew what was going on, so she started to talk about Henrick with Michelle.
In this world, apart from Henrick's family, she could be said to be the one who knew him best.
It was a pity that she had taken the wrong step and became a stranger to Henrick.
Now that she had lost her resources, she had also withdrawn from the entertainment industry.
Jaime really wanted to marry her, and he didn't want her to go out and be an actress.
Her only hope now was Jaime. At least she did not have to worry about her future. Even if she did not come out to work in the future, she could still live a better life than ordinary people.
In the past few days, she quickly got used to life with Jaime. Although she had withdrawn from the entertainment industry, she was not famous and did not have much influence.
Henrick let her go. She was not implicated because of Candice. Although he had been kind, she was still unwilling to give up.
Therefore, in the conversation with Michelle, she exaggerated some words that implied that Alice had seduced Henrick.
Alma was not sure whether or not Michelle knew Alice or her true identity.
Thus, she did not mention Alice's identity or background.
What she didn't know was that Michelle knew Alice, but she didn't know her family background.
After all, she knew that Alice usually dressed in ordinary clothes and only ran a small company with a few employees.
Compared with her family's company, it was nothing.
In terms of conditions, she was always arrogant in front of Alice. She usually wore famous brands, while Alice wore unbranded clothes. From this, it was certain that Alice's family background was ordinary.
Although Michelle had a good time with Alice, because she went abroad early, she had never been to her house. Instead, she brought Alice to her home twice.
That was to show Alice her princess room and let her see how happy she was.
Their conversation ended in the middle of the night.
Michelle was curious about Henrick. After a few hours, she really understood more about him.
Alma spoke in detail, which made Michelle happy. When she was about to leave, Michelle was satisfied, so she asked her father to sign the contract so as not to affect her mood by talking about business at her party.
After signing the contract, the happiest person was Jaime. That trip had not been in vain.
Moreover, the biggest credit was Alma. When they went back at night, Jaime specially ordered a set of jewelry for her, and then happily took her back to the hotel.
The next day, although there was a party at night, Alice did not take it seriously.
She had always been very smart since she was a child, and her thinking and comprehension skills were higher than others.
She also saw Michelle's attitude towards her. After all, they would be strangers in the future. At the party that night, she would just show up and then leave immediately after.
If it wasn't for Henrick, she wouldn't have even bothered to go.
Early that morning, she sent her daughter to her mother and went to the company for a meeting.
Henrick got up early in the morning and sent her off.
He could clearly feel their hearts getting closer and closer, which made him excited. However, in front of Alice, he restrained his emotions very much.
There was no traffic jam along the way, and Henrick was dressed very casually.
Wearing a white casual shirt and white shorts, he looked refreshing and charming.
Thinking of the party that night, he thought of Alice's friend, Michelle.
"Alice, how much do you know about Michelle?" He didn't tell her what had happened that day. He was afraid that Alice wouldn't believe what he said.
Alice didn't know why he suddenly asked that question, which reminded her of what had happened on the Internet. She didn't see any topics about her in the news that morning.
In fact, she didn't care much about it. She was not a celebrity. Even if she was tied up with Henrick, the heat would soon disappear.
However, the news disappeared so quickly. She was pretty sure Henrick had done something.
"Why do you ask that?" She looked at him.
He smiled and said, "Allie, it's about what happened on the Internet. What do you think?"
Alice was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
"It's about your friend. Do you trust her character?" Henrick didn't dare to say it clearly. After all, friendships were something Allie attached great importance to.
Alice thought of what Michelle had done that night and the past years of contact. If it hadn't happened that night, she wouldn't have thought about the problems between them.
Now that she thought about it, Michelle used to show off in front of her all the time. However, at that time, she was careless and not as attentive as she was now, so she did not notice many problems.
When she thought about it now, between her and Michelle, Michelle cared more about having someone to accompany her so that she could keep showing off and have someone praise her. The value of her existence in Michelle's heart was probably only so little.
When she saw through it, she thought that half of it was to understand human nature, and the other half was to let things go.
No matter who it was, no matter whether there was fate or not, things could not be forced.
Henrick patiently waited for her reply.
Alice replied, "I don't trust her."
Henrick's lips curled into a smile. It seemed that Allie had seen through Michelle.
"Alice, listen to what I'm going to say next."
"Okay!" Alice nodded. They were still some distance away from the company, so it was good to talk. If it was too quiet in the car, she would not be used to it.
The morning breeze was very comfortable, making the summer a little cooler.
At the intersection of a traffic light, Henrick took out a lollipop and handed it to Alice.
She was speechless.
Henrick smiled and said, "Allie, eat something sweet. It'll help you feel better." He could sense the change in her mood.
When he mentioned Michelle earlier, she seemed a little unhappy.
Alice silently took the lollipop and asked curiously, "Why do you have a lollipop in your car?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Henrick smiled and answered, "I'm used to it. I also like sugar, but I like to eat pineapple-flavored things. My mother likes strawberries. She's allergic to mangoes and pineapples."
As he spoke, Henrick suddenly leaned over and said, "Allie, I know you also like pineapple."
Alice pursed her lips and didn't say anything as her face flushed red. She slowly tore off the wrapper and put the pineapple-flavored lollipop in her mouth. The faint fruity scent spread throughout her mouth, making her feel much better.
Henrick started the car and said, "Alice, what happened on the Internet two days ago was that Michelle spent money to hire online trolls."
"It's her? How do you know?" Alice was obviously stunned.
"Have you forgotten that my brother is a hacker? I asked him to investigate it. After a night, the things on the Internet have become out of control. Obviously, someone paid those people to cause trouble."
