A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 102

Wilson drove the car all the way back to the Scott Mansion. 

It was still early. Before dinner time, Wilson showed Alina around the gardens of the villa.

Although they had been staying here for a few days, the Scott Family villa was really big. In addition, they were busy most of the time. Every day after work, they came back for dinner, accompanied Lincoln for a while, then Alina had to go to her self-defence classes. She was tired out by 10 o'clock, so they had to go back to their rooms to wash up and sleep.

Therefore, up to now, Alina was still not familiar with the surroundings of Scott's house. 

Taking advantage of his free time, Wilson took Alina on a tour of the villa. He introduced the buildings to her. "That ancient building over there is the main house. It was built a long time ago. Although it doesn't look fashionable nowadays, it has always been Grandfather's favourite.

"The neighbouring buildings were built about thirty years ago, including the one that we're living in now. They were all built at the same time. The land size is about 120 acres, excluding the built-up of the buildings and courtyards. Sorry, I need to take a call!"

After answering the call, Wilson reached out and patted Alina's head. He said affectionately, "Dear, you can look around but don't go too far. Wait for me to come back. Grandfather said that there was a distinguished guest coming over to visit, so he asked me to entertain them."

"Okay!" Alina answered gently and nodded with a smile.

After Wilson left, she began to enjoy the scenery around her.

Chrysanthemums of various colours were blooming beautifully in the garden. She could smell the faint fragrance from the flowers. Alina took in the captivating sight and breathed in the floral scent as the world seemed a little brighter.

"Alina, what a coincidence!" A sweet and familiar voice rang out. 

Alina looked up and saw Monica standing nearby. She was wearing a maroon dress and smiling sweetly at her. 

Silvia stood beside Monica, with their arms interlocked. 

When she saw Monica greeting Alina, Silvia pouted unhappily. "Why are you being so polite to her? She's just a gold digger." 

Alina couldn't help but frown.

She had always wanted to be friendly with Wilson's parents and sister, but they looked down on her because of her identity.

It was a dilemma. Alina would never beg them to accept her, but at least she could control her temper when they insulted her. For S*umbag's sake, she endured their scathing remarks. She did not want him to be pulled in both directions. 

Seeing that Alina didn't say anything, Silvia shot her a disdainful look and continued, "She really has a good temper! That's why poor people are different. For the sake of money and status, they can tolerate anything." 

Alina didn't want to start an argument, so she turned around and walked away. 

"Stop right there!" When she saw Alina ignoring her, Silvia was irritated that her words seem to have no effect on Alina. Fury rose up within her and she screamed loudly.

However, Alina didn't stop and continued walking away briskly. 

Silvia shouted behind her, "You idiot, do you think my brother will really marry you? Who do you think you are? He is in a relationship with you just to control the share price of Scott Group. Fool, didn't you watch the news? When your identity was revealed, everyone criticized you and the shares of Scott Group dropped drastically. How could you have the audacity to show up here?"

Alina didn't slow down, but she heard what Silvia said.

Wilson was in a relationship with her just to control the share price of Scott Group. 

No, Wilson wouldn't do something like that! 

How could he, when he treated her so well? 

A stiff smile appeared on Alina's face.

Hadn't he mentioned this before? She only needed to do one thing, and that was to trust him! However, Alina realized that she was still really anxious and scared! She's afraid that the reality was truly like what Silvia had said. 

Alina didn't want to meet Silvia or Sophie again, so she went back to her room immediately. 

Two voices were debating in her mind.

"Let's watch the news!"

"No, S*umbag said to not watch the news." 

"If you didn't watch it, how would you know if what Silvia said was true?"

"No matter what she says, I'll trust Scumbag fully!"

"What if he lied to you?"

"He won't lie to me!"

"What, do you think you are worthy of his love? You clearly know that the woman he truly loves is Rosalie. Don't overestimate yourself!"

...

Alina paced back and forth in the room with her phone in hand. 

She was panic-stricken.

Because of the trauma caused by Ken, she did not dare to easily believe in love.

Alina wasn't confident in herself because of the huge difference between Wilson's status and hers. 

Silvia's words echoed in her mind over and over again.

Finally, she opened her phone and turned on the news.

Reading the headlines, a chill ran down her spine. 

"The fiancée of Scott Group's president grew up in the slums?" 

"Alina used her beauty to seduce rich and wealthy men!" 

"Mr. Scott's fiancée used to be the girlfriend of Ken Anderson, the young master of the Anderson family!"

At the end of the article, new comments appeared one after another. The notifications were so rapid that it was difficult to read them clearly. 

Without exception, they were all criticizing her. 

"This Alina is such a b*tch. Does she think she's beautiful? Look at her, she doesn't look any better than a pig!" 

"Beauty is a curse!"

"Why don't you just go and die? You're bringing shame to women everywhere."

"I'm not a fan of Mr. Scott anymore. How could I be so blind?" 

...

Alina felt a wave of dizziness come over her. Her body swayed as her head spun wildly.  

She quickly held onto the edge of the bed to prevent her body from collapsing on the floor. 

Suddenly, she felt a pair of strong hands wrapped around her body to support her. Wilson's concerned voice rang out, "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"

"No!" She shook her head, her lips trembling.

Wilson frowned and helped her to the bed. He took her phone and saw the headlines.

His brows furrowed tightly and he asked in a gentle tone, "Did you read the news?" 

"Yes." Alina nodded and burst into tears. She suddenly felt wronged. She didn't do anything wrong to be criticized so harshly by everyone. If she had the ability to choose, no one would want to be born poor. In fact, Alina wished to have a better family background so that she could be worthy of Wilson's status.

Furthermore, it was not her fault that Ken broke up with her.  

Ken was the one who pursued her and proposed their relationship. Similarly, it was also Ken who initiated the break up as well. 

From the beginning to the end, she could only accept the outcome. 

Why was she the one who was scolded, insulted, and cursed at? 

Wilson held her in his arms and gently patted her hair. He comforted her in a soft voice, "Silly girl, how can you control the filth that people spout online? We should just live our lives happily and ignore the naysayers." 

"You're right," Alina replied and hugged Wilson tightly. She had never expected Wilson to respond in such a no-nonsense, matter-of-fact tone. She felt a little better once Wilson comforted her with his words.

Wilson continued, "This was why I refused to let you watch the news. These headlines and articles are deliberately published by people with ulterior motives. They wanted to drive a wedge in between us and suppress the share prices of Scott Group. If we let these things get us down, wouldn't we be walking right into their trap?" 

Alina raised her head and looked at Wilson. "Is that so?"

She stared at him with unblinking eyes to uncover the underlying emotions in his gaze.

Wilson looked at her seriously and nodded. "Lina, as I said before, my heart belongs to you forever. So, there is only one thing you have to do, which is to believe me! No matter how challenging it will be in the future, let's face it together."

"Yes." Alina nodded, her eyes determined.  

She secretly blamed herself for not being strong enough to trust in S*umbag's love for her. 

The next moment, Wilson pushed Alina onto the bed and pinned her beneath him. 

She blushed and gently pushed him away, protesting in a soft voice, "Get off me!"

"No way!"

He rained kisses on her cheeks, lips, and neck. 

In his passion, he reached under Alina's clothes.

When Wilson moved to unzip her coat, 

Alina was so nervous that she froze on the spot. 

Wilson's eyes were full of love when he noticed her nervousness. "Idiot!" 

He pulled up the zipper of her coat and gently kissed her lips. In a low voice, he said, "I will wait for you to get ready!"

Alina bit her lower lip and replied in a whisper, "Not right now, it's still daytime!" 

Wilson was shocked at first, then a look of happiness spread across his face.

Alina's hint at something more made him ecstatic.

On the other hand, she was so embarrassed that she quickly hid under the covers to hide her blushing face.

When he saw Alina being so shy, Wilson couldn't help laughing out loud. He was in a very good mood. 

"Why are you laughing? Get out!" Alina poked her head out from under the blankets and hit Wilson playfully with her fists.

"Are you feeling better?" Wilson held her hand and looked at her seriously.

"Yes." Alina nodded.

As long as he loved her, she would not take those comments to heart.

She would gather up the courage to face more challenges in the future! 

...

In Lucas's office.

Caitlin threw a stack of documents on the desk angrily and gnashed her teeth. "I'm burning with rage right now." 

"What's wrong, baby?" Seeing that Caitlin was furious, Lucas immediately got up to coax her.

Caitlin gritted her teeth. "B*stard! Our articles have been taken down again. The press has revealed news about Alina being in a relationship with Ken. All the gossip about her is negative. Who is controlling the press? The share price of Scott Group has spiralled so much that we have lost 700 million dollars. If this continues, we can't pay back the bank's collateral deposit." 

Lucas's gaze suddenly turned cold. "It's removed again? Which b*stard could have done this? Could it be Wilson?"

Caitlin frowned and analyzed the situation. She shook her head. "It shouldn't be Wilson. He likes Alina so much. How could he reveal her background and expose her past relationships to the press?" 

Lucas's eyes narrowed slightly. "As long as it's not him. Did the share price hit its limit down for the past three days? My mother has another 200 million dollars in her personal fund. I'll get her to cover our losses temporarily. Tomorrow morning, we will release the news about Grandfather giving 5% of his shares to Alina."  

Hearing Lucas's words, Caitlin's mood lightened considerably and she nodded. "Alright, everything is on the line now. I've employed a team of white hats to stop the hackers from taking down our articles. They only need to hold out for two hours until the news is spread widely enough. In that case, it doesn't matter even if the article is taken down later." 

"Okay." Lucas nodded and took out his phone to call Rainee. "Mom, we need to use the 200 million dollars from your account.

"We will pay it back in a week at most. Don't worry! You can transfer the money to Caitlin's account."

After hanging up, a scheming glint flashed in their eyes.
