With a shock, Alicia couldn't help but lament.
How powerful was love? When she'd been with Jeremy, Lindsay had tried her best to break them apart. Now that she was with Frederick, Danica was also acting like a lunatic! And why were they all trying to ruin her? Alicia thought of something out of the blue. She had to admit that it was a smart move! Back then, wasn't it because Jeremy saw the scene where she was in bed with Frederick that he becpartial to Lindsay? Then, he started to dislike her and ridiculed her in all aspects.
A man's inferiority complex had nothing to do with his character. Whether they were good or bad, they still cared about it.
On second thought, Alicia could also understand because she also cared about it! The next second, Frederick said something unexpected.
"I will not change! I hope that you will only belong tofrom the beginning to the end. It bothersto see you with another man... However, I don't have a one-track mind and I am not unreasonable. What I love is not your pure body! Even if something happened to you, it is also because I did not protect you well enough! Compared to losing you, this is not a big deal at all! I might not be able to accept it immediately, but I believe I'll make the right choice with time. I don't want you to get hurt in any way!" As Frederick stroked her hair, his gaze becsoft.

I will be bothered by certain things, feel emotional over sthings and I might lose control too. Ally, I've always felt that I'm powerful. However, I recently realized that I can't protect you at all!" It was the first tshe heard Frederick sound so lost and unconfident. In the dark night, Alicia smiled like an enchantress.
"No, you are the best! I have never met a man that's better and more outstanding than you! You are right to say that it's not appropriate to entrust your own life to others. That is why I am trying my best to protect myself. Moreover, I do not want to beca burden to you! I do have a one-track mind, though! If you were to do anything to betray me, I wouldn't care whether you had your reasons, or whether you were a willing party. You're a man, and you have to protect yourself!" Although Alicia said that, she too actually had the sstandard in her mind. After all, the future was long and unforeseen surprises were everywhere. Just like on this day, she had never dreamt that Danica would use such a tactic on her. It was so sudden as well! Could it be that she had also used the stactic on him and that was why there were those misunderstandings? This sudden realization also flashed by in an instant. Such a suspicion caused her to have a headache. Alicia smiled charmingly and decided to let nature take its course.
Frederick chuckled.
Their heart-to-heart conversation put Frederick in a good mood. He pinched her chin dotingly, "Fine! We'll leave it at that this time!" Alicia giggled.
They cuddled for a while on the bed before Alicia laid on his body and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Frederick sent her to work personally. He kept an eye on her briefly before he left for the company.
As soon as he entered his office, he picked up the phone, "The meeting will be postponed for an hour!" Following that, Chet walked in.
"Did you get the things I asked you to?" Chet handed him a USB. "Everything you want is in there. It's a little... hard on the eyes." Frederick plugged it in and Chet explained.
"It must have been a spur-of-the-moment thing! I checked the surveillance footage. Miss Randolph must have accidentally bumped into you at the flower shop and followed you all the way there! The bodyguards saw that you were with Miss Blanchard. They didn't follow you in because they were afraid of interrupting you two They had been waiting outside the hotel the entire time! Miss Randolph went in for a while and cout again! It was rush hour and the two of you were together. I didn't expect her to be this insane and took the risk to cause trouble at that time. I don't know when she followed you back and even changed her clothes. Perhaps she randomly cup with this and rushed to prepare. She had totally forgotten to avoid appearing on sCCTVs!" Chet took a deep breath. He looked at Frederick before continuing.
"It seems that she got a taste of her own medicine! There are rumours flying around the hotel that a man... Hallie even beat her up! And someone got sphotos of the whole thing!" Chet flipped through his phone and handed it to him.
"I found a small bottle in the room.
Only a little bit of something similar to Triazolam, also known as ecstasy, was detected inside! I could not detect other things because of its volatility. Usually, the person who the drug would take santidotes in advance to avoid falling for the effect. I don't know why Miss Randolph ended up falling for it as well! By right, the person affected would either be powerless or unconscious. However, Caven's reaction was the complete opposite. He did not fall for it at all! Moreover, this person's fetish is really..." He heard that she'd been bleeding and was still in the hospital! Frederick looked up and said, "He's gay, and it's not a fetish. Maybe he took something else before that." After all, if he were truly interested in men, his actions weren't out of the ordinary. The person behind the drug is truly a genius! The effects were on point! There was a difference between men and women and the tgap did not differ much either! As for Danica, she was probably under Alicia's anesthetic, which affected the medicine's effectiveness! After thinking it through, Frederick solved all of these doubts! "What?" Chet exclaimed and couldn't help but shudder. Caven was gay? "What about the Randolph Group? Have they been up to anything recently?" Frederick asked again.

"Still the sas always! There hasn't been anything special going on recently. Speaking of Caven, I've thought of something Theard srumours about the land at Western City. Lance Group happens to be one of the shareholders of one of the troublemakers, and they have quite a number of shares! Do you think it has anything to do with the Lance family?" Their eyes met and it made Frederick wonder.
"Why is it getting more complicated? Are there many people joining hands? If this has something to do o with both the Randolph family and Lance family, then Hallie should be the connection. If that were the case, why would Danica set Caven up? And the person behind this drug is also someone to watch out for!"
"It still doesn't make any sense! Are they having sinternal strife? TheRandolph family doesn't have anything to fall back on though. Isn't a plan like this bound to make them lose everything?" The further they discussed, the more confused they became.
Frederick raised his hand.
"Let's stop guessing and just dig out whatever we can! Especially the person behind the drug. Dig up som X
