"I told you to come and you didn't! Miss Blanchard is here in East Bannpool. She just arrived at the door. I wonder if she's meeting a friend or if she's coming over for something. Well, she's alone now..." "I've taken the contract and I have to go to the airport! I don't have time to keep an eye on her for you. It looks like she just got here." "Come on over! I'm leaving."

After reporting, Roy even paused for a few minutes to make sure that the woman was indeed Alicia before hanging up the phone.

Just as the car left, Frederick came back with Alicia's cell phone. He then hugged her and they walked toward the private room.

Just as Frederick pushed open one of the doors to East Bannpool, the noisy conversation in the room rattled to a halt. Several people stood up.

"Frederick, we've been waiting for you!"

"Yes, Danica heard that you were coming and even skipped her dinner reception. Frederick, you're really influential!"

The one who spoke was Shaun Jerald of the Jerald family, who was a few years younger than everyone else present. He was a classmate of Kaylee's and had a good relationship with Carson. He often mingled in their circle. Even after many years, their relationship remained good.

At that moment, Danica, who was sitting in the corner, also stood up. She was wearing a party dress with a gold sequined skirt that sparkled. Her makeup was thick and exquisite. It was really outstanding. "Oh, Shaun, you're just making fun of me! I heard Carson landed a big deal and I'm happy for him, hence I came over to congratulate him. Besides, my dad has not been feeling well lately. I thought it would be nice to come and talk to Carson..."

Her words were a logical way to clarify that her arrival had nothing to do with Frederick.

Because she was a guest, Carson wasn't able to comment on her. He even especially ordered two chaperones to sing with her.

What Danica was up to was only too evident. Right then, Shaun chuckled. "I understand! I understand! Who wouldn't know that Danica and Mr. Clements-"
