"Nick, you asshole jerk, I specifically instructed you to handle this discreetly outdoors. How on earth could you be so thoughtless and inept as to lead him to Kingston Mansion?"The woman berated her accomplice. "Enough with the shouting; I'm not to blame here. You're the one who brought him on board. I cautioned him against breaking into the mansion, but he insisted his source was credible." Nick's voice was strained with frustration, fed up with her domineering attitude. Frustration boiled over as they found themselves in another failure, leading to a heated exchange of accusations. "Trustworthy source, my ass. That bastard didn't even avoid the security cameras and boldly caught the light. Just get rid of him." "It's done already, and Jade, don't complicit randomly; it's peril." Hearing her old name on the man's lips triggered a rush of bitter emotions tied to her history. "Don't call me that, you odious parasite. That's not my name anymore; dare do this again, and I will cut

"I heard Alice went to pay her visit to Vicky, but it seems the information was off," Benjamin said and scoffed playfully.John and Marie exchanged a quiet laugh and looked here and there to avoid the scene.Andrew made Alice comfortable on the bed and whispered in her ear. "I wonder how my family has a knack for playing gooseberry in my romantic life."Alice playfully swatted his arm, a blush coloring her cheeks."Bro, can you not be home in my hospital? At least maintain its sanity." Benjamin said it with a grumpy face."Being one of the directors of the board, I'm using my fair share of the hospital; do you have any problems?" Andrew raised his eyebrows after a befitting reply."You can't abuse your power."Benjamin and Andrew were going to get involved in a meaningless argument, but Marie meddled and scolded them. "Oh, please, cut it off both of you.""Alice, how's your well-being? Are you receiving adequate care?" John asked and patted her head."Gradually getting better..."John'

"Feel free to do as you please; I won't be partaking in this flavorless fare today," Alice declared firmly before turning away.Andrew delivered Alice's lunch, only for her to grimace at the sight of the egg porridge once again.Ignoring her refusal, he ladled a portion of porridge into a bowl and extended a spoonful toward her."I told you, I'm..."Alice was in the midst of speaking when Andrew abruptly stuffed a spoonful of porridge in her mouth."Ahh, ouch. Sunny....." Alice gulped the saliva and yelled."Have it, silently." Andrew said it with a stern look.Alice positioned herself with crossed arms and averted her gaze."Do you believe your tantrums will work on me?" Andrew remarked, delivering another spoonful to her mouth."I doubt that." Alice mumbled and ate it grumpily."You need to rest and recuperate, but you seemed to wander around the entire floor. From now on, you'll not even step out of bed." Andrew reprimanded her."What the heck..." Alice's incredulous words were dro

Alice was released from the hospital and received a warm welcome from her family at home. The entire Kingston clan assembled at the dining table in compliance with John's instructions. "How are you doing? Have you made a full recovery?" John asked Alice. "Yes, grandpa I am absolutely fine." "Bella, how's your leg? Are you able to walk now?" "Yes, it healed. I don't limp anymore." Bella answered "Fantastic! With both Alice and Bella in good health, I'm thrilled to declare that I'll be throwing the eagerly anticipated party for Andrew and Alice the day after tomorrow."John shared with enthusiasm. "Nobody's personal problem will be enough to put off the party." Marie said this while glaring at Sophie and Bella. "Hey Martin, fancy a shopping spree? A bunch of designers have recently launched their new lines. I'm in pursuit of the crème de la crème!" Sophie expressed excitement, giving her nose a playful twitch. They all laughed at her craziness for shopping. "Sure, honey," Martin

'Darn it, why does Sunny have to go through my contact list only? How to make him understand: this is how I remember the person by their impression of me.' Alice thought with dismay."Exploring your contacts was amazing fun to kill time. Each name boosted my interest, and I couldn't refrain from going through the entire list," Andrew said with a wide grin on his lips."Angry bird must be dad, and Paris Hilton 2.0 was Sophie mom, right?"Alice's eyes widen in shock. 'Could he really have guessed that easily? Oh gosh, did he discover his number is saved as 'Mr. Money' in my phone?'"Wow, your expressions tell quite the story. But who's the Cute Adonis, and why does Vicky wear a Superman cape in your world?" Andrew's tone was tinged with envy.Alice beat her head for being exposed to Andrew, and now he's grilling her with a lengthy list of questions. She couldn't stop grumbling about it."What? Answer me......" Andrew tilted his head to catch a glimpse of Alice's furrowed expression and
