Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



Sitting straight up, the anger suppressed by Alicia exploded once more.

"Haha..."

With a chuckle, Frederick turned the bedside lamp on and smoothed her hair with his rough fingers.

"It's my idea. I appointed him!"

Before she could vent her anger, there was another thunder. Alicia's mouth fell slightly agape as she was left speechless. "What?"

Frederick pulled her back into his arms and said, "I was afraid that you'd be shocked, so I dared not tell you. I didn't expect you to have such a huge reaction!"

He was overjoyed. He was jubilant!

Brushing against the tip other nose, Frederick picked the key points and briefed her about the whole story. He, however, deliberately avoided mentioning the fact that Steve was very likely the murderer because he was afraid that the more she knew, the more emotional she would be. It would be troublesome to alert the enemy.

"Anyone can boast! If I don't appoint him and give him a taste of it, how will he know that he's incapable? It does not matter who gets hold of it in the beginning. What matters is the one having the last laugh!"

At the mention of that, Alicia instantly understood.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it? If he wants to take over the company, let him do it. If he can manage the company well with his ability, we can't criticize him. If he fails to play his role well, it's reasonable for us to demote him! Even if he does it well, I don't believe that he will be able to do it better than you. I'm sure the shareholders who invested in the company are more dissatisfied than us! I was too anxious and panicky. Fortunately, I didn't act impulsively and give grandma a call, or I would have ruined your plan..."

Alicia patted her chest and took a deep breath. What a close call!

"Hubby, you don't know how angry I was when I saw the news! Even if we don't want the family's property, we can't allow outsiders to look down on us. I'm not the slightest convinced. It's obvious that you're the best!"

He patted her on the shoulder and narrowed his eyes.

"Haha, I like to see how you protect me! Don't worry, I've figured this out! Ally, I'll handle everything. Do what you like and accompany our child in his happy growth! There's only one thing you have to keep in mind..."

He didn't need her to do anything. As long as she was by his side, he would be satisfied.

"What is it?"

"Stay alert. You have to be more careful and protect yourself at all times! Ally, protection on you might be overlooked. At any time, you have to position yourself in the first place. You're my soft spot, do you understand?"

"I get it! Whenever I head out, there are secret guards protecting me, aren't there? I don't want to be your soft spot. I want to be your backing, your strong 'mental' backing!" She giggled.novelbin

Knowing that her ability was limited, Alicia hoped to give him more.

On that day, they snuggled in bed. Hugging each other, they had an earnest conversation for a long time before they fell into a sweet dream.

The Clements family's anniversary was held along with the coronation banquet at a top-tier hotel in Casterwich City, which was the Pearl Hotel. It was lavishly decorated with significant meanings to all the embellishments.

The banquet was very grand with reserved seats for media reporters. When Alicia got off the car, she noticed Penny and Hallie, who had wide smiles blossomed across their faces standing at the door. On that day, both of them wore full sets of jewelry and dazzling limited-edition custom-made outfits.

Holding Alicia's hand, Frederick habitually wrapped his arms around her waist, loaded with affection. Their eyes met, and the corners of their lips stained with a faint smile. They were a magnificent sight.

On that day, Frederick was dressed in a neat black suit and a purplish- red tie he rarely used, celebratory and extravagant. On the other hand, Alicia wore a rose-red sling dress and a matchingcolored diamond necklace. She was equally dazzling and eye-catching. Obviously, the two did not intend to keep a low profile.

The two's outstanding appearance attracted attention once they emerged. Soon, a large crowd surrounded them, flashing their blinding camera lights.

"Mr. Clements, I heard that Mr. Christian intends to retire in advance and pass the position to Master Mason. Is that true?"

"What do you think about this? Are you not on friendly terms with Mr. Christian like what the rumors claim to be?"

"Mr. Clements, as the eldest grandson of the Clements family, your talent is obvious to all. Would you think such an arrangement is unfair?"

"Mr. Clements, do you have any big moves? I'd like to know your opinion on such an arrangement..."

"Mrs. Clements? Do you have anything to say? I heard that your family was rich and powerful. That's not right. Your family is now as powerful as ever. Do you have anything to say about Mr. Clements' encounter?"

"Mrs. Clements, let's have a talk! Do you think that the two will work hard to compete for the inheritance?"

On that day, everyone's attention

seemed to be focused on the

Clements family in unison. With the

wavering arms in front of her, Alicia had the corners of her lips remain hooked although she felt very dizzy. Frederick covered the blinding lights for her before he raised his hand to signal the bodyguards to dismiss the crowd. Only after the reporters were a distance away from them did he begin to say.

"Everyone, you're too impatient! I promise that you all will find the answers to your questions tonight. If you can't, come to me at the end of the party. I will tell you everything! Now, please remain composed and refrain from blocking the door, OK?"

With that, Frederick strode into the hall with Alicia in his arms. At the door, Penny and Hallie's faces obviously stiffened a little, but for the first time, they forced their smiles to remain on their faces and did not dare show any dissatisfaction, not to mention find fault with the couple.

Soon, the grand banquet commenced, and the hall was calm. Looking at Penny's family standing on the stage surrounding Christian, Alicia could not help leaning in close to Frederick, giving his hand a firm squeeze.

"What an eyesore!"

It was also a heart-wrenching sight! In the family, he was the most indispensable member, but it also seemed that he was the one extra! Thinking of her family, Alicia felt grateful. At the same time, her heart ached for him!

Frederick cast a sideways glance at her with a faint smile. His narrowed eyes were full of warmth. Although he did feel bitter, there was slight 'sweetness' in his heart.

"Let's watch the show!"

"Thank you all for attending the celebration of the thirty-third anniversary of the Clements Group.

Today is a blissful day, and there are

et

a few joyful affairs I'd like to share with you all. The first is that Soaver International of my older son, Frederick, has achieved success. I'm truly gratified. The second is that my younger son, Mason, has finally made a breakthrough and signed the biggest cooperation project of the Clements Group of the last three years. It is a seven-year research cooperation with Kafeng Group, which initiates the Clements Group officially entering the high-end electronic market. Thirdly, our Clements family has its heir, and we

hope that the younger generation will continue to lead the Clements Group towards prosperity and flourishing! It is now the era of the young. I decide from now on, Clements Group will be officially

managed by my younger son, Mason Clements..." Content belongs

The next second, there came a burst of meek applause and murmurs.

"Isn't this too absurd?"
