Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 679



Was this a man's way of expressing his love to a woman?

Was he... was he doing the same thing?

Looking up, Victoria was in shambles.

Trevor held her hand as they walked away from the dance floor. They clasped their hands and stayed by each other throughout the whole way.

On the other side, Alicia found an excuse to pardon herself right as Hallie and Caven walked over after she talked to her grandma for a while. At that very moment, she quickly waltzed up to her brother whom was standing alone.

"Nicholas..."

Holding his arm, Alicia smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Why are you alone? Aren't you bored? Would you like me to introduce you to a few of my girl friends?"

Where was Leon? Wasn't he here with Leon?

As Alicia was groping for words to express her thoughts, Nicholas raised his hand and knocked on her forehead.

"You've turned into a completely different person after marry into a wealthy family! How many girl friends do you have? Does it look like I'm in need of one? Leon had something to deal with, so he left first. A place like this really isn't meant for me! I honestly wouldn't have come if it hadn't been for you!"

He was bored to death!

Nicholas swirled his wine glass gently and swallowed it in a single gulp.

After grabbing another glass of juice, Alicia nudged him and said, "I know my brother loves me the most! However, your status is different now. You will definitely be a regular guest to these kinds of occasions in the future!"

Although Nicholas had an ordinary educational background, the society had been his greatest source of knowledge! Even if his calm temperament, vast intelligence, and extraordinary learning ability were all imitated traits, nevertheless, they were presentable and looked real on the outside! To Alicia, knowledge did not represent capability. Nicholas was a pro at all kinds of etiquette, from different types of conversational skills to dealing with various kinds of people. In addition, he had spent a few years abroad, so his English was as fluent as a native English speaker. Despite standing beside powerful figures like the Four Great Masters of Casterwich

City, Nicholas was still not inferior at all.

Nicholas was Alicia's pride and joy!

"Dad would be the happiest man alive if he saw you like this! If he knew that by you changing your way of doing things would not stop you from being the person he wanted you to be, maybe he wouldn't have been so harsh on you back then! Nicholas, do you hate Dad?"

As he caressed her hair, Nicholas smiled and said,

"I used to hate him! In the past, I resented everyone in the Blanchard family besides my precious sister. However, now, I cherish and appreciate every day that God has given me. He gave me a chance to reunite with my family and repay my parents! I'm relieved to know that you're happy..." "You deserve happiness as well! Besides, I'll be needing you whenever I'm in trouble!" Her entire family was indeed blessed.

Before Alicia could finish her sentence, all of a sudden, a man's voice was heard, "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Nick. I never thought I'd have the honor to meet you here!"

Looking up, she noticed two men who brought out their business cards as they walked towards him. She withdrew her hands and said, "You go ahead, I'll be leaving first!"

Alicia nodded her head before she turned around and left.

"How are you? It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Shortly, they exchanged their business cards and shook hands with each other. Nicholas then took another glass of wine before he turned around and noticed a figure dressed in white standing at one side.

That little girl?

As soon as his eyes fell upon the sight of Caroline, she immediately turned around and bolted away.

After he met a few friends, chatted for a while, and had something to eat, Nicholas then raised his head and noticed Caroline staring at him while scurrying away. At that moment, he couldn't help but felt confused.

Nicholas placed down his plate and took out a piece of tissue. Right as he looked up, he noticed Caroline staring at him from a corner again However, she did not avert her eyes from him that time. It felt as if she wanted to approach him, yet she couldn't bring herself to do so. Right then, Nicholas started to chuckle.

What was the matter with her? Why was she staring at him? He thought.

As he pondered, all of a sudden, someone patted him on the shoulder and handed him a glass of red wine. "Why does it seem like you're absentminded?"

Following his gaze, Willy did not notice anything.

"It's nothing. I was just looking around!"

Willy turned around and took another glass of wine to prepare himself in telling Nicholas regarding the Paradise Coffee. "I wanted to discuss it with you earlier, but I didn't get the chance to do so!"

As he looked around, Willy seemed a bit reserved. After all, he needed to look out for eavesdroppers, and it was hard to tell whether anyone had any ill intentions!

"Alright, I'll do as you say! Let's do this some other day at a different place!" How could Nicholas stay unbothered when they were already in the midst of a battle?

As a thought flashed across his mind, Nicholas said, "That's right, I just remembered something! It might be useful for you!"

"What is it?"

"I overheard a bunch of drunk guys in a private room of the nightclub talking about something. However, I only heard parts of it, so I am not entirely sure myself. It seemed that they were researching on a rare and controlled drug. One that was extremely expensive and difficult to come by! At that time, there was a drug expert among them. He said,

that the method of producing the

drug with cheap chemical materials was feasible and highly profitable! At that time, he also mentioned a person who seemed to be a professor or a researcher from a university in Casterwich City. I can't exactly recall his words, but she seems to be a rather young woman. That's right, she had a nickname for herself, it was... 'Poison Rose'! I heard that she's very powerful and pretty, but she's also a little eccentric and isn't an easy lady to get close to. People who take advantage of her would either be burned by sulfuric acid or besieged by snakes. Besides, she is a scary lady, so most men tend to call her Poison Rose and avoid her as well! However, I heard that her drug expertise is second to none. She can solve a page full of chemical equations within two minutes, while others can't even solve within a day..." Nicholas took a sip of his red wine and continued, "I've only heard a brief version of it, so I'm uncertain about the details! If the paper you've mentioned before is related to this then I think this woman might be of great assistance! If she has the ingredients for the Paradise Coffee and Hell Ice Liquor, she could figure out the components and solutions to it even without the formulas! Of course, these are just rumors. I can't really guarantee that this Poison Rose lady is as capable as they've said!" Content belongs to

"Let's keep that as our last resort!" All things considered, they had another ray of hope then.

After clinking their wine glasses, Willy said, "Hey, let's not talk about that for today! I'm just grabbing this opportunity to tell you about it. We'll pick this up later. For now, let's have a toast!"

Shortly, the two laughed while they changed the topic of their conversation.

As soon as he sent Willy off, Nicholas took his cell phone and walked over to the other side. Just as he moved, a figure in white suddenly rushed into his line of sight. He paused for a moment before he turned around and headed to the opposite side.

She tailed him the entire way. Right as he turned out of the corridor, she suddenly lost sight of him. At that moment, Caroline was utterly anxious. She continuously circled around the area.

Huh... Where did he go? How did he disappear out of thin air? She thought.

She lifted her feet and took two steps forward before she reached the end of the corridor. Heaving a long sigh, she shrugged her shoulders while a

sudden warm breath drifted through her ear.
