Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 69

When Alice picks up her phone and wants to have a look at the time, she sees there is a Porsche driving towards the cafe.

Joanna is wearing purple shawl coat which perfectly shows her curvy body figure. With a condescending look on her beautiful face, she peeks at Alice with a disdainful smile.

“Miss Hale.”

Johanna is a bit pleased when she notices that Alice looks so pale and tired. Of course, she knows the reason why Alice looks like that.

Her father is right if she wants to deal with someone, she needs to know someone’s weakness.

“Alice, if you want to protect your clinic, then you leave here and piss off right now!” Joanna says haughtily.

Alice bites her lips lightly and it reminds her of what happened to her five years ago when she was threatened by someone as well and she had no choice but to surrender. She hates that feeling.

But she isn’t what she used to be.

“What if I don’t want to leave?” Alice replied stubbornly.

Joanna is so furious that she pours a glass of water to Alice’s face.

She says coolly, “Do you think you have a choice to say no? You are wrong if you think that if you lose the case, all you lose is just a clinic. As long as I am happy, I will put you in jail so easily. Remember, this is my place.”

“Justice is in people's hearts. I will never admit anything I didn’t do.”

“Alice! I am here to give you a last chance! If you don’t piss off, then don’t blame on me for being rude!” Johanna is in a rage and she doesn’t expect that Alice will be so tough.

Before Alice arrives at the cafe, she does want to give in to Joanna. However, when she sees the haughty face of her, and what she has done, Alice changes her mind and she knows she hates Joanna so much.

She hates Joanna who almost killed her kids, and she was the one who slandered the relationship of her and Charles.

But she hates herself more because she can do nothing but to accept their humiliation.

Why should she admit she is wrong?

“Fine, Joanna Hale, if you just want to tell me about these, then I have nothing to say. I believe that my lawyer will help prove that I am wronged. But stop thinking that you can do whatever you want because you are the daughter of the mayor.” Alice wipes her face with her hands and gazes at Joanna firmly. She doesn’t give a shit about Joanna and walks away.

The onlookers think that it is a fight between someone’s wife and his mistress. But after they hear what Alice say, they eye on Joanna disdainfully.

Joanna is so embarrassed when she is watched by others. She doesn’t expect that Alice is that stubborn that she would rather be imprisoned than leave the city.

Fine, she thinks that she should be more vicious.

It has never occurred to Randall that Edward will come and find him today.

If he didn’t watch the press a few days ago, he would be sure that to Edward, Alice is nothing but a toy.

Now, he realizes that Alice means much more important to Edward than he imagines.

Things will get more interesting.

Let’s think about it. If he manages to have Alice who Edward is so eager to get, he will be so pleased and proud. Thinking of that, he smiles happily.

“What can I help you with, Mr. Smith?” Randall smiled delightedly and he doesn’t show his hatred to Edward as his competitor in the business market.

“I’ve told you! Get away from her.” Edward says in a calm voice but it sounds pretty cold.

Both of them know what he is mentioning.

However, Randall won’t easily behave as what he wants and replies, “Mr. Smith, I don’t understand. I am treating her so well. Besides, it is about me and her. It seems that it is none of your business.”

“None of my business?” Edward repeats and smiles, thinking that it is so ridiculous.

His smile doesn’t make others relaxed but nervous. Every time he smiles, it is like a great danger to others.

Every time Randall sees such a smile, he is so eager to punch Edward.

How can such a man who is totally unconcerned with everything take what he tries so hard to get easily?

“You and she are just strangers. She doesn’t want to answer your phone but she is willing to have a meal with me. Mr. Smith, you can’t force her.”

What Randall says makes Edward feel so annoyed. He waits for the day that Edward will remove his mask and stop pretending as composed as he is now.

“She won’t accept the person like you. I know what exactly you are thinking.” Edward walks closer to Randall and stares at him coolly with his hollow and gloomy eyes. Obviously, he is so unpleasant.

It doesn’t matter Alice doesn’t answer his phone.

He can accept that the only one she loves will be him, only.

“Really? Edward Smith. I admit that I am not your adversary in business. But as for love, it’s hard to tell.”

Randall raises his lips and looks into Edward’s eyes. Then he continues in a clear and powerful voice, “it is so easy to be understood that she doesn’t want to answer your phone. What’s more, love is the hardest thing to tell. So, no matter how excellent Mr. Smith is, it’s useless.”

After hearing what he says, Edward’s face clouds with his lips pursed. He knows that Randall is challenging him, but he does feel worried because of what Randall says.

Like what he says, her love is the only thing around the world that is out of his control.

But he knows deep down that no matter what, he will never give up.

On the way back to her apartment, Alice comes across Janet.

There is a bodyguard who looks like a drive standing by her. Janet is standing on the road to Alice’s apartment, and she gives a disdainful look at Alice and covers her nose with a delicate handkerchief. Her fancy look is so irreconcilable with such an ordinary apartment building.

Alice ignores her and passes around her and then goes upstairs.

“Alice Roberts! “Janet stops her and says arrogantly, “Don’t you remember what happened to you five years ago? Didn’t you learn a lesson from that?”

Alice stops her steps and she feels the pain from her heart then she stares at Janet. Honestly speaking, Janet is Edward’s mom, and she is also the grandma of Rebecca and Albert.
