Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 126

"We now have to count on you and Kieran to further the family line. Try hard, huh?" Madame Charles didn't allow me to refuse and stuffed those things into my arms.

"Fine!" I tried to plaster on a smile.

After seeing her off, I thought maybe I could use some alone time, but to my surprise, Alicia came.

She was wearing an exquisite suit with high heels of over ten centimeters. Her curve hair was down. With a pair of sunglasses on her face, she looked radiant.

Raising my head, I smiled, "Alicia, I didn't expect you came here to see me this early in the morning. You look fantastic."

Many people had come to work. When seeing Alicia, they were all curious about what was going to happen.

Alicia gracefully took off her sunglasses and smiled at me. She said loudly, "Miss Rachael, this is the workplace. No family here. Oh right, I hope I called you correctly just now, because I heard that Ms. Everly was crowded out of the company. Now, you are in charge of Rich!"

"That's right. I'm Rich's CEO now, but I need to correct you for one thing. Everly wasn't crowded out. Madame Charles backed me up and fired her!" I smiled at her even more happily. She meant to beat around the bush and make everyone believe that Everly was crowded out by me. Then I might as well admit it. Anyway, when Madame Charles fired her yesterday, everyone was present. No big deal.

"You are good, huh?" Alicia sneered.

"Not as good as you." I replied.

"I think you know why I come here today. I'm here to take the contract with Rich." She stopped smiling and said seriously.

I was shocked. I totally forgot about it!

"Miss Rachael, don't tell me it's still not finished yet. Even though we are family, we still need to play by the rules. The default..."

I interrupted her and smiled, "Miss Alicia, drop it. I'll definitely play by the rules, even though you are my sister. But I think you should come here tomorrow for the contract, as is written on it, right?"

Alicia was slightly shocked and then smiled, "I think a big company like Rich would finish everything ahead of time. I didn't expect..."

"You didn't expect that we strive for perfection, right?" I answered.

Alicia no longer spoke. She stared at me hostilely. She leaned closer to me and lowered her voice. Finally, she finally dropped off her disguise and smiled at me with a ferocious and complacent smile, "Rachael, you think it's funny to crack wise with me, don't you?"

I leaned casually against the back of the chair and looked at her, "That's right. it's very interesting, especially when I see you had to drop off your disguise. Those who once loved you now all loathe you, don't you think that is funny?"

"What a pity. I'm afraid I am gonna let you down!" She laughed elegantly, "Because Marlon still is and will be loving me. He will only marry me, not you! Never!"

"Is that so?"

Alicia cleared her long hair, stood up straight and said loudly, "Miss Rachael, I will come over tomorrow to take the contract on time. I hope we can enjoy doing business with each other." After saying that, she waved to me, turned around and left.

I was slightly shocked. After what happened last night, coupled with the crazy stories from the media this morning, Alicia shouldn't have been this fine! She acted as if it had nothing to do with her.

I checked my phone, but I was shocked! All the scandals about her and the Cornell family were gone. It made me doubt whether I hallucinated this morning.

It must have been Marlon Redford!

I clenched my fists. My heart was even heavier than being under a huge rock. I sneered. I didn't expect that after what happened last night, he still believed in Alicia and helped her cover up the scandals. He really loved her deeply!

My heart ached. I put my hand on my chest. It still hurt like a needle pricking my heart.

It really hurt!

For so many years, I loved him so deeply, but he could not see it. Instead, he even was crazy for Alicia. In his eyes, even if Alicia really did these terrible things, she could be easily forgiven just because he loved her!

I clenched my fists even tighter. No matter how much he loved Alicia, I would definitely break them apart. If the incident last night didn't work, I would try even harder. I didn't believe that he could forgive Alicia if she did anything wrong to him!

There would come a time when I could see Alicia cry hard and feel heartbroken. And there would also come a day when I could say to Marlon that he didn't love Alicia any more.

That day would eventually come.

Now, I would pave the way for the break-up of you two!

I smiled and called Emmalee to ask her out. I had thought that this step could wait, but it seemed that the right time came now.

Before I went to see Emmalee, I spoke to Armand.

"Ms. Cornell, what can I do for you?" He asked me expressionlessly.

I felt a little bit embarrassed. I leaned closer to him and whispered, "Do you ... have that?"

He looked at me and said, "What?"

"The pill that can make one lose his mind and say things that he usually doesn't say!"

As soon as I finished my sentence, he clearly heaved a sigh of relief, as if he was regretting, or as if it was a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

"Anything wrong? Do you have it or not?"

"Nothing. I thought you wanted ... that!"

"What?" I was confused.

"The aphrodisiac!" He looked away out of embarrassment. I was suddenly shocked. He thought I was asking him for aphrodisiac to please Kieran?

I looked at him in surprise. What a terrifying thought!

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Ms. Cornell, please wait for a minute. I'll get it for you right away!"

Looking at him walking away, I still couldn't believe that such a dirty thought was actually brought up by the serious Armand. Sure enough, see what a bad influence from Madame Charles on him!

Soon, he returned and handed me a small bottle of drug. "Anyone who eats one pill will get high and let his guard down. As long as he isn't specifically trained, he will tell you everything that you ask him about."

"Alright, thank you, Armand!" I took the drug and went to see Emmalee.
