The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 41

"Look in the mirror first."

Alicia said what he had said to her before and snorted dismissively.

"Why are you so angry? Did I owe you money?"

Carlos raised his eyebrows and asked. He felt embarrassed just now. But after he saw her disdainful attitude, he was agitated by her and was a little annoyed. Subconsciously, he actually wanted her to be jealous.

The more he didn't care about others, the more he wanted to be cared by others. This was the most extreme psychology of a typical hurt man.

"I'm angry because you are stupid. You even believe what Mia said. Someday you’ll be deceived by her, but you don’t know what happened."

He didn't walk away immediately after leaving the guest room, but hid outside the door, so he heard the sentence.

"What about you? Aren’t you stupid? Do you dare to say that you were not sold to me by Colton?"

"Yes, I was sold, but I was sold for 18 million at least. If it were you, you might not be worth of the price."

"You…"

Carlos was so angry. How dared this woman to refute him like this? It seemed that he didn’t teach her an impressive lesson last night.

Just when he was about to teach her a lesson again, her cell phone rang suddenly. She lowered her head to glance at the phone number. As she answered the call, she walked into the secret room, "Hello?"

The call was made by Colton. His topic would never get away from the interests.

"Alicia, it's me, Dad."

"What’s the matter? You call me so late?" In fact, she knew it well.

Sure enough, she was right.

"It's nothing important. It's about the bidding of Joliot-Curie Group. Can you ask Carlos what conditions are more promising for winning the bid?"

Alicia was silent for a short while. But she didn’t refuse this time. She faintly replied, "Okay, I’ll ask him, but I can't guarantee whether I can get the answer you want. You know Carlos well. He doesn’t mix work and private affairs."

When Colton heard that she agreed, he felt that there was much hope. No matter how a person had a clear boundary between work and private matters, it was impossible for him to be indifferent to his wife.

"Okay, okay, just bother you. Alicia, you are really my good daughter."

Alicia felt what he said was so disgusting. But it didn't matter. Because he was not her good father, so she was not his good daughter either.

If family affection could be measured by the interests, she would rather not have the family affection.

Alicia didn't really ask Carlos about the bidding. She believed that her father must have already asked Carlos, but Carlos refused, so her father came to her.

From now on, she had to be a bad woman.

Her plan would start to be implemented bit by bit. She would give the previous pain she had been through back to those who had hurt her.

There were few classes in school on Friday afternoon. She went home early. As soon as she got home, she went to find Mia and scolded her, “I don’t have any opinion on how long you live here, but please restrain your behavior and don’t treat here as your own home. Except those, you can do whatever you want."

Mia couldn’t accept to be scolded like this. She had never suffered such a grievance. Her face sank, "What do you mean? What's wrong with me?"

"Dare you say you didn't walk around when we were not at home?"

"What's wrong with my walking around? Does it bother you? Mrs. Sara let me treat here as my own home. What are you yelling at?

"If you really just walk around, I won't say anything. But you entered other people's rooms and touched others' things without their permissions. I feel ashamed for you. Others will laugh at us secretly and think that we’re bad-mannered!"

"Who said that? Whose room did I go into? Who touched those things?"

Mia was so angry. She had never been wronged like this.

"It doesn’t matter who said that. What’s important is that someone told me. Where is here? This is Cloud Mansion. The richest family in B City lives here. There are more than ten times more servants here than the Joliot-Curie family. There are so many people here. Do you think you can get away this just because you don't admit it?"

"Who said that? You should ask him to confront me. Only a fool would admit the unwarranted crime!"

"Just don’t admit it. Anyway, I have warned you. If you don't restrain your behaviors, Mrs. Sara will drive you away personally. At that time, I’ll see if you feel embarrassed or not."

Mia was completely annoyed. She shouted towards the stairs with her hands on her hips, "I'm going to ask which bitches told you this!"

"Stop."

Alicia coldly stopped her, "You still think the trouble is not big enough, isn't it? Now Mrs. Sara doesn't know. If you go down and shout, the whole family will know. Even if Mrs. Sara says she trusts you, she will feel disgusted in her heart. No one likes that her family is disturbed by outsiders."

These words really calmed Mia. She stopped, but she was still furious, "Then am I going to endure this undeserved crime?"

"If you behave well, no one will get you wronged."

"You still don't believe me? I'm your sister. I swear to God I haven't entered anyone's room or touched anyone's things!"

Alicia laughed mockingly, "It's too late that you admit that you’re my sister. From what I know of you, I don't think you have been wronged. You’re just such a person, aren’t you?"

Mia's face darkened, "I’m afraid it is you who defamed me. I really can't think of anyone who hates me more than you."

"Whatever you think, you can't do anything meaningful anyway except for cranky thinking."

"Then you admit it?"

Alicia was about to step into the room, but was stopped by Mia.

"I didn't admit it. It's just that you think so." She walked past Mia and entered the room. Mia followed in. Mia wanted Alicia to admit that she had gotten her wronged.

Annoyed by Mia’s entanglement, Alicia yelled angrily, "Don't bother me anymore. Do you think everyone has nothing to do all day just like you? You are no different from a trash. Except for spending parents’ money, you can’t help the family share any worries. You claim that you’re the daughter of the Joliot-Curie family, but you have never done anything that the daughter of the Joliot-Curie family should do. It’s me who solve all the difficulties. If I didn’t sell myself, where did Dad get the money to pay off the bank’s debts? It’s again now. Dad wants to get the project bid of Joliot-Curie Group, so he could only come to me. Apart from being born of a dancing woman, I’m much better than you."

Mia had been an apple of everyone’s eye since she was born. She had never been scolded like this. She was angry, mad and hysterical, "Get over yourself. Do you think you are the savior? Do you think the world will disappear without you? You’re just a little bitch trained by an old bitch. If it wasn’t my mother who showed mercy, what right do you have to show off with me here today? You’re just the lowest person who is trampled by me..."

"Don't feel dissatisfied. If you have the ability, just do something to prove yourself. If you can help Dad get what he wants, then come and talk to me. Otherwise, I can only think that the Joliot-Curie family can’t survive without me.”

Alicia's provoking method successfully angered Mia. She was so mad, so she blurted out, "Okay, then just wait and see. I will surely prove myself to you!"

"I’ll wait and see."

Alicia shrugged and pointed out the door, "Please go out now. I want to change clothes."

"Just see who is final winner."

Mia glared at her angrily, slammed the door and left.

After changing the clothes, Alicia came to the next door again, and said to the woman who was still sulking inside, "I forgot to remind you just now. No matter which rooms you have been into, your brother-in-law’s study is definitely not allowed to get in. There are many important documents in it. If you dare to get in, no one can save you, including me."

"Go away. Don't need your fake mercy!"

Mia madly threw a pillow at Alicia, but it dropped into Alicia's hands rightly. Alicia threw it back and said, "If you feel unhappy living here, the door downstairs will be open for you at any time. Go out with your luggage. No one will stop you."

Alicia’s indifferent expression showed clearly that she wanted to watch a good show. Mia gritted her teeth angrily. She wouldn't be fooled by this woman. She knew this woman was trying every method to drive her away.

The sound of high heels drifted away. Mia began to walk back and forth in the room. For a moment, she really wanted to leave this shit place, but she couldn't leave like this. She had already said such words. If she left like this, it could only make that bitch look down on herself even more.

No, she definitely couldn't leave like this. In this world, anyone could laugh at her, but Alicia couldn't. If she lost to someone she looked down upon, she would rather die.

But what should she do now? Go to plead Carlos? He was so indifferent to her. She really had no confidence at all that Carlos would give her a chance to prove herself because of her pleading.

It was getting late. Mia was so anxious. The servant downstairs called her to eat. She didn't go downstairs on the excuse of being uncomfortable. She asked the servant if her sister and brother-in-law had come back. The servant answered no.

Thinking of Alicia's warning before leaving, she was not allowed to step into Carlos' study. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. There must be something she wanted in the study room.

Making up her mind, she sneaked into the opposite study room quietly. Before that, she had never stepped into any room.

It was so dark in the study room. After groping for a long time, she found the switch and turned on the light. Having no time to look around, she hurriedly started looking for documents related to the bidding project.

Finally, she really found it. In the middle drawer of the desk, there was a neat and tidy bidding plan.
