Chapter 24
Alice found many people thumbed up William’s Instagram post and left comments.
[Theo Harris: Is Daniel married? Why didn’t anyone tell me about that?]
[Rosie Pearson: William, your sister-in-law seems excellent at cooking! I also want to have a sister-in-
law like that!]
[Lisa Jenkins: I’m a decent girl, but I can’t help to swear when I see these dishes. They are so da mn
good! It seems that I have seen the steak your sister-in-law made before!]
Alice murmured inside, “Lisa. Of course, you have seen that steak before!”
Alice bit a cigarette butt and thought, “Theo Harris, Rosie Pearson, and Lisa Jenkins are all Hollywood
actresses. How do they know William?
“From the comments, it looks like they are close friends! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“What does William do for a living?”
Just as Alice was lost in thought, she suddenly received a phone. She glanced at the screen and found
the call was from Frankie.
Alice turned around and confirmed the glass door to the balcony was locked. After that, she slid to pick
up the phone and said, “Hi, Frankie. What’s the matter?”
Frankie snorted and asked, “Did you smoke again?”
Alice looked at the cigarette in her hand. Then she cleared her throat and retorted. “Haven’t you heard
of that saying? One cigarette after a meal is better than living in a villa on the hill!”
Hearing this, Frankie roared. “Nonsense! You should quit smoking as soon as possible!”
Alice scratched her ear and said frustratedly,. “So, that is your purpose for calling me late at night? Just
to yell at me?”
“Of course not!” Frankie fell silent for a second before he continued. “Travis has warned everyone
around him. He asks everyone in the industry not to offer you work if you don’t give a satisfying answer
to him tomorrow.”
Alice sneered and replied, “Huh. I’m not surprised at that.” Then she took another drag from her
cigarette and said, “Travis told me he would shelve me if I didn’t marry him. I knew he was not joking.”
“Then what do you plan to do? Divorce your current husband and marry Travis?”
Alice immediately replied, “My husband is tall and handsome. Also, he’s good in bed. I’m not stu pid.
Why should I give up my husband and choose Travis?”
Frankie pouted and asked, “Tsk. So, do you fall in love with your husband?” He still worried about Alice.
Alice replied, “Yeah. I fall in love with him. I’ve never seen such a good guy and those cute kids!” In
fact, Alice wanted to say she liked the babies instead of Daniel.
However, Alice knew Frankie would pick up a fight with Daniel if Frankie heard she did not like Daniel.
Thus, Alice decided to pretend that she was obsessed with Daniel.
Frankie fell silent for a while. Then he continued, “I can talk to Travis, but I don’t guarantee my
negotiation will work.”
Alice said, “No need to talk to Travis! I would rather retire if I get no job in Hollywood than begging
Travis! I can enjoy my life and every moment with my husband and kids!”
Frankie asked, “Seriously? Can you abandon your career like that? You like acting so much, and you
work so hard. Will you regret it if you say goodbye to your acting career?”
Alice gritted her teeth and answered, “It is pitiful, without any doubt. However, I don’t want to give in to
those capitalists like Travis!”
Frankie cried, “You don’t need to give in to anyone since you have me! You can quit your job if nothing
works. I can offer you money for you and your boy toy!” Frankie clenched his fists and looked at the
man next to him.
Hearing Frankie’s words, Alice chuckled and said, “Thanks then. On behalf of my boy toy and kids, now
I give you a kiss through the phone. Muah!”
“Stop it! You make me sick!”
“Bleh! Bleh!”
Alice stopped smoking, and her smile disappeared after she hung up the phone.
She leaned against the railing and sat on the floor, curling up her legs. She looked gloomy and doomy,
A wind blew over, and a grain of sand fell into Alice’s eye. She felt uncomfortable and rubbed her eye.
14:22
Alice looked like she was crying.
A voice arose. “Are you crying?”
At this time, Alice was annoyed and focused on getting the sand out of her eye. Thus, she did not look
around and unconsciously replied, “No. I’ve got a grain of sand in my eye.”
