Chapter 11 A Wild Woman
Glancing in the direction of the sound, Frederick stopped his steps at once.
Under the lights, her face was cold yet charming. Somehow, there was no contradiction between them, and it even looked perfect too.
However, that beautiful woman looked wicked, as if she was a devil fallen in the dark.
A devil?
When the word popped into his head out of the blue, Frederick was surprised. He didn't expect that he would use the word to describe a woman.
Still, she was indeed different. Just by looking at her from a distance, one could sense that she was wild.
Moreover, Frederick somehow felt familiar looking at her side profile.
"Sir, what are you looking at?"
Noticing that he was staring in a direction absent-mindedly, Glenn asked softly.
"Nothing," Frederick replied faintly. Then, he shifted his gaze and walked toward the seat that the Erickson family had arranged for him.
"Alice, when did you come back?" When Celeste saw Alice, a sense of crisis instantly rose in her heart. And so, she held Richard's arm even tighter and asked alertly.
Upon seeing Celeste still treating Richard like a treasure, Alice felt ironic. She then snorted, "Why should I tell you that? Didn't we cut ties long ago?"
Ha, only Celeste would treasure a jerk like Richard so much.
"Ally, how can you talk to me like this? I'm your sister. Do you know that I've been looking for you all these years? You don't know how worried I am."
Initially, Celeste was about to get mad when she first heard Alice's words. But when she noticed that people were looking over here, she immediately changed her expression. Holding Alice's hands, Celeste replied gently. From her tone, it seemed like she missed Alice a lot.
Unexpectedly, Celeste's acting skills had gotten better through these years.
"My apologies, Miss Maynard. I couldn't afford to claim ties with you. Anyways, I'm relieved to see that you're still on good terms with Mr. Rowland. Ah, you must have made a lot of new friends since Mr. Rowland is quite open-minded and has lots of girlfriends."
Silently pushing her hand away, Alice said sarcastically, smiling faintly.
At once, Celeste almost couldn't stay calm, and she glared at her insidiously.
She must admit that Alice had hit her nerve.
Indeed, Richard was a playboy. And so, Celeste had spent a lot of energy on dealing with those vixens who tried to seduce him.
However, since it was Alice who had mentioned those facts, she felt even worse than hearing it from anyone else.
"Alright, I have some other matter to do, so I'll get going now."
Seeing that she had been achieved her purpose, Alice glanced at Richard, who was still in a daze, and she left after taking her bag.
"How dare she talk like that! Back then, she was the one who had an affair with prostitutes and got driven out of our family. But now, she made it look like we're the ones owing anything to her. Ha, just look at her dressing sexily. I bet she acted like this because she succeeded in seducing some old man."
