Chapter 1019: Chapter 524: Extra Story: Throwing Herself into His Arms 1
"She’s very stubborn; she won’t give up custody until the last moment."
"So, are we leaving without saying goodbye to Miss Alice?"
"Since when did you become so timid."
"Uh..." Fearing to anger his boss, Keith Antony dared not speak further.
After a moment of silence in the car, Chester Robinson suddenly spoke, "To make her decide more quickly, put some pressure on her."
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Arrange a dinner with those lawyers Alice hired. I want her to see no chance of victory."
Keith Antony showed a pained expression but had no choice but to comply with his boss’s orders, nodding, "Yes."
Alice Robinson returned from the law firm, only to learn Chester had left.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, in her heart, she cursed Chester Robinson relentlessly.
He came here for Rachel’s custody; then what was last night all about?
They aren’t lovers, so why is he treating her that way? Even if they maintained such a relationship in the past, they’ve now gone their separate ways. What right does he have to treat her like that?
Does he really see her as a woman he can use at will?
Bastard!!
The voice of Alice cursing reached Aunt PA standing nearby.
Aunt PA couldn’t help but say, "Miss, I’ve always said, if you just talk nicely to Mr. Chester... Mr. Chester cares about you so much; if you gave in a bit, he would agree to everything you asked for. See, Chester came for a day and left; clearly, he’s angry that you’re ignoring him."
Aunt PA had no idea of Alice’s mood; she wished she could kick Chester Robinson so hard he’d never be a man again.
Though her mind raced with countless ways to torment Chester, one thing she hadn’t forgotten.
After sending Aunt PA to play with Rachel, Alice returned to her room alone.
In the hidden compartment of her bedside table, she found a bottle of white pills, which were effective long-term emergency contraceptives.
She and Chester had always been siblings, but who knew, as early as when she was sixteen, they were no longer ordinary siblings.
He always said breaking taboo that day was her seducing him; in truth, it wasn’t at all as he imagined... But now, none of that matters any longer. To him, Alice is merely a substitute, nothing more.
With these thoughts, Alice shook out a white pill from the jar, swallowed it dry without water.
The bitterness of the pill permeated her throat, making it unclear whether it was her throat or the pill that was bitter.
Seventy-two hours after sex should prevent any accidents.
Then again, who could say Rachel’s conception wasn’t an accident either?
She and Chester sustained this relationship for many years, yet she never considered having his child, nor did he ever permit her to be pregnant.
This bottle of pills was something he bought for her, with no side effects, it wouldn’t harm her body.
He said at the time it was for her health, because their relationship was destined for no happy ending, and he didn’t want her body to suffer.
He loved her so much; aside from the stars, what she wanted, if he could do it, he’d make it happen for her.
Yet, back then, she couldn’t appreciate him.
Of course, this is what he thought, not realizing she never disdained him, just that she knew he could never stay with her forever, which is why she infatuated with Howard Geoffrey...
But now it’s meaningless to talk about this, whether it’s about her and him, or her and Howard Geoffrey, all are things of the past.
After Chester left France, the inheritance case between Alice and the Robinsons entered a critical stage...
If previously Alice’s hired lawyers had any chance of success, recently, with two losses in court against the Robinson’s lawyers, Alice could see no hope and became thoroughly panicked...
Things truly are developing into a dire situation...
She’s well aware, if this continues, at the third trial, she will undoubtedly be the losing party.
Yet, she cannot afford to lose...
Growing up pampered, unable to survive in this harsh world without money, especially as she’s taking care of Rachel, she promised to give Rachel the best life.
Also, even if not for herself, she cannot lose...
The Robinson’s prosperity in France over the years was always maintained by her father, who once told her he wanted Chester to manage the Robinson estate...
