Chapter 108

As the picture captured Alice’s cheek without the scar, she looked captivatingly beautiful.

Alice had a gorgeous smile inside the picture, and Keith was also beaming.

Since Alice hadn’t expected Keith would suddenly approach her, she quickly dodged when he neared

her.

Actually, she dodged very quickly, and there was still quite a distance between them when they were

closest to each other, but the picture was taken at just the ‘right’ time and angle!

The more Suzette looked at the picture, the more satisfied she was. She couldn’t hold back her urge to

make it into a post with the caption, ‘A handsome man and a beautiful woman. The perfect match.’

Coincidentally, Suzette was classmates and best friends with Derek’s younger sister, so Derek’s sister

reposted it after seeing the post and didn’t even change the caption.

In the meantime, Alice didn’t know any of that. She was looking at James, waiting for his reply.

“Sure. Let’s play a round or two.” James was fascinated with chess and wanted to test Alice, so he

wouldn’t refuse her offer.

“Let’s head to the study.” Alice smiled. Everything was going like how she had planned—James didn’t

refuse her suggestion.

However, the others who wanted to follow them into the study were stopped outside the door, including

Charles and Keith.

She couldn’t let Keith interrupt her plan, and as for Charles, although he hadn’t done any harmful things

until now, she couldn’t trust him fully.

“Old Mr. Rowland, how about we add a wager?” Inside the study, Alice didn’t begin playing chess

immediately but added a condition.

“What would you like to bet on?” James smiled mockingly as he knew she had an ulterior motive. Who

says she’s foolish? She’s clearly an intelligent person.

“If I win, this proposal ends here and let us, the younger generation, deal with our own matters,” Alice

spoke directly but also gave James some room to negotiate.

As long as James agreed to end this mess, Keith would be easy to deal with.

“But what if I win?” James looked at her and smiled meaningfully.

“If you win, I’ll agree to the Rowlands’ proposal for a marriage, and you can even ask us to get married

tomorrow.” Since Alice knew James’ intentions very well, she was extremely harsh on herself when it

came to her part of this bet and left herself no room to negotiate.

She knew the result James wanted the most and that he was very confident in his chess skills, so he

would certainly agree to the bet.

“Young lady, you’re bold.” Stunned, James had a complicated look in his eyes when he looked at the

young woman who was as crazy as he was when young.

There weren’t many youngsters with such a personality, and James found her more and more intriguing

to him.

“Young lady, you know I enjoy chess, but do you know I have yet to lose a game of chess?” James felt

he shouldn’t take advantage of a junior, so he should remind her.

“I know.” Alice smiled, looking completely at ease.

That caused James to feel stunned again, thinking that the woman was overly bold, so he wanted to

see how capable she really was. “Sure. Let’s go with your plan.”

“Let’s begin.” Alice smiled. Still behaving calmly and easy.

While looking at her behavior, James didn’t dare to underestimate her. Moreover, this was related to his

grandson’s marriage, so he couldn’t lose.

When Derek saw his sister’s post, it had been posted for quite some time. At first, he didn’t pay much

attention to it, but when he saw the woman in the picture, he was surprised.

Although it was only a side profile, and Alice in the picture was so beautiful that she didn’t look like

herself, Derek could still somewhat recognize that the woman was Alice.

After thinking about it, he sent Ethan the picture he got from his sister with the original caption.

“Ethan, could this be Alice?” Even though Derek was initially skeptical, he was already sure it was

indeed Alice.

“But the man beaming beside her is Keith Rowland, right? Why are Keith and Alice together?” Derek

couldn’t figure out what was happening with those two. Back at the Royale, Keith seemed like he was

on Alice’s side, but judging from the photos, the two seemed very close.

The moment Ethan received that photo, his eyes turned ice cold, and his expression became black as

coal.

When he saw the caption, his narrowed eyes seemed to contain a slight smile. It was a furious smile. A

handsome man and a beautiful woman? A perfect match?! He was her rightful husband, so how could

she be a perfect match with Keith?

“To the Woland Residence.” At this moment, Ethan had arrived at Rodcaster. He descended the plane

and got inside a car before ordering Caleb in such a cold voice that he shivered.

Taking a sharp breath, Caleb thought, Oh, my gosh! Mr. Knight is so terrifying right now. Would there

be bloodshed if he goes to the Woland Residence like this?

Inside the car, Ethan was looking at the picture on his phone as his eyes squinted little by little. He

knew he had misunderstood her about the washing-grapes incident, but what about this picture?

The picture showed her smiling while looking at Keith, and she was smiling so damn beautifully. He

hadn’t even seen her smile like that before. Moreover, Keith was there to propose a marriage between

their families, so why was she smiling at him? Was she happy that Keith came to propose to marry

her? With how close their faces were, it was like Keith was about to kiss her. She was married, so how

could she not know to avoid close contact with other males? That damned woman, he had just left that

morning, and she…

Ethan’s eyes were becoming more narrowed and threatening.

Meanwhile, Caleb, who was driving, felt the extremely low pressure inside the car and didn’t even dare

to breathe loudly.

Since they couldn’t land the plane in the city, reaching the city and the Woland Residence took some

time.

At this moment, Ethan was so anxious he wanted to fly there. When his eyes landed on the picture

again, he couldn’t help but admit that she looked stunning from this angle.

That was because her scar was invisible from the angle in the picture.

Regarding the scar on her face, he had previously tried applying some solution to it, but there weren’t

any results.

Perhaps it was the solution’s problem that failed to remove the disguise.

The more Ethan thought about it, the more ridiculous he thought this was. It seemed like he had to try

once again.

“Drive faster.” Ethan suddenly spoke up, desperate to head to the Woland Residence and see what

was happening between Alice and Keith.

“Mr. Knight, I’m driving as fast as I can. Any faster and there’ll be traffic police on our tails.” Caleb

secretly sighed. He knew Ethan was in a hurry, so he was already driving at top speed.

“Faster.” It was obvious that Ethan was in a rush and didn’t care whether they would get chased by

traffic police.
