At first, she kept wondering why the brooch was crafted so badly. After that, she realized that Fran wasn't skilled yet when he designed it. However, the brooch became valuable as his designs became popular.
Even if it was only a defective product, it was still well-liked because of its commemoration.
At present, the brooch was priced a thousand dollars in the market. But in fact, it cost at least a hundred times higher than that.
The reason was that it was impossible to find the brooch in the market anymore.
But now, he wanted her to find him the same brooch. Wasn't he trying to make things difficult for her?
"Miss Maynard, didn't you firmly said that you wanted to compensate me? Are you going to take back your words?" Although Frederick noticed the fury in Alice's eyes, he still proceeded to speak in a frivolous tone, making him look hateful.
Despite standing far away, Glenn couldn't help but tremble when he saw Frederick acting like that. The next second, he shut his eyes close and recited that he saw nothing.
However, Glenn couldn't resist and open his eyes after just a few seconds, peeking at them.
Recently, Frederick seemed to have changed into another person.
Alice held back her anger and decided to accept his request. After all, she was the one who broke his brooch. Of course, she had to compensate him.
"Okay, I'll make it up to you."
After that, Alice sighed deeply, feeling distressed.
"Great, I'll be waiting for you—and the brooch at Ward Group three days later."
Then, Frederick smiled in satisfaction and left, holding Aleena's hand.
Following his departure, Alice finally became relieved.
"Mommy, did I get you into trouble?"
Staring at her sad look, Boyo asked cautiously, feeling afraid.
Sighing in her heart, Alice forced a smile and shook her head. "No, you did not. It was my own carelessness that caused deep trouble."
Ward Group.
Frederick Ward.
She should have recognized him earlier. With such a good look and temperament, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
What's more, Eve was so respectful to him earlier.
It really seemed that she was in serious trouble!
"Uncle, do you like Boyo's mommy?"
Sitting in the car, Aleena began to be in interrogation mode. After all, she was a quick-witted child.
Uncle had always hated those pretty ladies approaching him. But he was standing so close with Boyo's mommy just now, so he must have liked her!
Narrowing his eyes, Frederick thought of Alice, who was frightened like a helpless kitten just now. Then, he felt like it was just an illusion seeing her being so charismatic the other night.
"Wow, I didn't expect the lady to have a child this old when she looked like she was only in her early twenties!"
At once, Glenn sighed with emotion. As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Frederick's cold gaze in the rearview mirror. Instantly, he looked away and pretended that nothing had happened.
After that, Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that the kid who wanted to buy him to be his mother's boyfriend that night was Alice's son.
She seemed to be quite young.
And, she must be married since she had a child.
At first, Frederick didn't really care about that. But now that he thought about it, he felt uneasy out of the blue.
Thinking that Alice would also blush for another man, Frederick somehow felt unhappy. At once, he even had a terrible idea that he should keep her by his side and make her his...
