Chapter 1020: Chapter 524: Extra Story: Throwing Herself Into His Arms 1_2
Unfortunately, at that time Chester Robinson was determined to pursue a career in medicine and had no intention of taking over the vast Robinson family assets. However, their father insisted that Chester must inherit, so he never allowed anyone else to assist him...
Their father had said that in the Robinson family, each generation could only have one person in power, so her uncles couldn’t take the helm of the family business, and between her and Chester, one of them had to take charge...
Now that Chester no longer paid attention to Robinson family affairs, she had to bear it alone...
Even though she knew nothing about managing the family business, she still had to protect her father’s legacy first.
If she really lost this time, she would truly have nothing left...
She couldn’t lose. She had to win.
With such steadfast determination, Alice Robinson assembled a team of lawyers. She consulted with these lawyers day and night, discussing their chances of victory, yet what they foresaw was still a bleak outcome.
In her life, Alice had never faced such a massive setback, making her feel helpless, anxious, and worried.
She hoped there was someone who could help her, like before whenever she encountered a problem, there were Dad and her brother to solve the worries and troubles. But, as she thought about it, she realized she had no friends, nor family left. In the past and present, the only ones she could rely on were her father and brother. Now that her father had passed away, the only one she could turn to was her "brother"...
It was only now that she realized her father’s and brother’s previous indulgence made her out of touch with society...
Without them, she really had no way to continue surviving in this world; they only taught her how to depend...
But now, with her father gone and her "brother" no longer being the "brother" he once was, who else could she rely on?
On a silent night, Alice sat by the cradle watching her sleeping daughter, her tears continuously falling.
She was really scared, really helpless...
Living in this world without family or friends was truly difficult.
She missed her father, missed her "brother"...
For the first time in her life, she felt as if the whole world had gone dark, feeling so depressed as if she couldn’t hold on anymore.
But even so, she still wouldn’t choose to yield to Chester.
She was still doing her best to try to win this lawsuit, but the day before the third ultimate court ruling, Robinson called to tell her to give up fighting for the enormous inheritance because she would never win.
She cursed her uncle, who once falsely loved her, yet inadvertently coaxed him into disclosing... it turned out someone was secretly helping Robinson secure the inheritance.
She immediately figured out who that person was who was helping Robinson secretly...
She was very sad and disappointed, finally understanding a fact: he would truly leave her with nothing...
How could he be so ruthless to her?
Could it be that the past affection never had a bit of sincerity?
"Aunt PA, while I’m not home, I’ll trouble you to take good care of Rachel."
In the room, Alice hugged Rachel, who was cuddling with her teddy bear, and reluctantly spoke to Aunt PA.
Aunt PA nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Rachel."
"Rachel, come, give mommy a kiss..."
Rachel obediently gave Alice a peck on the cheek.
Alice was very satisfied, tightly embracing her daughter, and said, "Rachel, mommy has to leave for a few days... during this time, you must be good and listen to Aunt PA, okay?"
Rachel seemed to understand the word "leave" that Alice said and instantly dropped the teddy bear in her hand, holding Alice tightly, "Mommy... I... go go..."
Rachel was telling Alice that she wanted to go along too.
Alice shook her head and coaxed, "Mommy isn’t going to play, so I can’t take you... be good, mommy will be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Rachel’s beautiful eyes were immediately filled with tears...
Seeing Rachel’s pouting and crying look, Alice also felt reluctant, giving several kisses on Rachel’s forehead.
Aunt PA reminded Alice, "Miss, it’s almost time, don’t miss the flight... I’ll take good care of Rachel!"
Alice nodded, handing Rachel to Aunt PA, and left the room with teary eyes.
In the car going to the airport, Alice had a lost and forlorn look.
Since Rachel was born, she had hardly been separated from her, and now suddenly having to part with Rachel, she really couldn’t bear it, but fortunately, it was only for a few days.
Suppressing the anxiety and longing in her heart, Alice took out her phone and dialed a string of numbers.
These numbers used to be the most familiar ones to her, but at some point, she could no longer get through.
Because she knew she wouldn’t be able to reach him, Alice wasn’t disappointed. She dialed another string of numbers.
Keith Antony soon answered the call, "Miss Alice." Keith was as respectful as always.
"Assistant Antony, can you tell me where my brother is now?"
"The boss is in New York."
New York?
Alice was stunned, "He’s not in T City?"
Keith replied, "The boss is in New York handling some ’QCS’ matters."
Damn it, her plane ticket was to fly to T City, and he’s not in T City now, so what should she do?
"Then... is my brother going to be in New York for long?"
Keith said, "No, the boss will be returning to T City soon."
"Really?" Alice was instantly excited.
Keith paused a moment, "Miss Alice, are you looking to meet the boss?"
"Yes, I am currently on my way to the airport, flying to T City soon."
"Alright, I’ll let the boss know."
"No, Assistant Antony, please don’t tell my brother, I don’t want him to know right now."
"Understood."
After ending the call, Alice breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, she needed to see Chester.
She needed to settle accounts with him for helping Robinson push her to desperation, and she had to seek his help.
She couldn’t joke with the vast Robinson family inheritance, so whether she liked it or not, she had to find him.
She couldn’t believe he would have no regard for past feelings; he surely wouldn’t stand by and watch her lose everything.
