Chapter 1035 - 532: Extra: When His Daughter Hugs Him Affectionately
Alice said, "Keith, this is the situation, I hope you can explain it to my brother...""It involves your and the boss’s reputation issues. I think the best solution is for you to meet with the boss, and then think of a solution... If you don’t discuss it face to face, I’m afraid during court, Robinson will find discrepancies."
"Yeah, so please let my brother know... if he’s willing to see me, I’m willing to fly to T City to discuss with him. If he doesn’t want to meet me, please find a way to solve this problem. I’m already beside myself, not knowing what to do," Alice said.
"Okay, Miss Alice, I’ll go talk to the boss right away."
Alice had just finished her call with Keith Antony when Aunt PA came over holding Rachel.
"Miss, you haven’t decided to go to T City yet!"
Alice took Rachel from Aunt PA, kissed her daughter, and said, "After he promised to help me handle the lawsuit, I won’t rashly show up in front of him... I’ve already had Assistant Antony tell him the current situation. If he’s willing to negotiate with me, I’ll go to T City to see him. If he’s unwilling, I’ll wait for his solution in Paris."
Aunt PA frowned, "If Mr. Chester doesn’t want to see you, you don’t intend to go to T City to see him and tell him your heartfelt words?"
"Yes."
Aunt PA shook her head in disbelief, "You’ll regret it."
Alice shook her head too, then gave Aunt PA a faint smile, "Actually, I have a hunch that the chance of being with him is very low. But I’m not a coward, I’m willing to fight for myself. So, if he is willing to see me this time, I’ll definitely tell him what I want to say deep down. But if he doesn’t want to see me, then let me maintain my last bit of pride in front of him."
Aunt PA sighed softly, "So be it, if Mr. Chester really doesn’t want to see you, it only means that I was wrong about him..."
Keith respectfully opened the car door for Chester Robinson.
Chester sat in the car, his brows lightly furrowed, "Didn’t I say not to come to the hospital?" Keith’s identity was exposed years ago when Chester helped Rebecca Quentin, so if someone were to catch sight of Keith working for Chester, the whole world would know Chester is the boss behind ’QCS.’ Chester would then have no way to continue working in the hospital.
"Boss, I have an urgent matter," Keith said, hastily taking the driver’s seat.
Chester leaned back against the seat, feeling somewhat tired after just finishing surgery. "Tell me what’s going on without hesitation," he said softly.
Keith hurriedly said, "Here’s the thing, boss... Miss Alice just called me. She said..."
Keith told Chester everything Alice had explained to him.
After listening, Chester’s handsome brows knitted together, "If Robinson had evidence, he would have exposed it to the judge long ago. Him threatening Alice now just proves Robinson doesn’t have evidence to show I’m not part of the Robinsons... Without evidence, Robinson wouldn’t dare to talk recklessly."
"Boss, do you want Miss Alice to stay by your side for a while? I’m afraid Robinson might trouble Miss Alice and Missy Rachel during this time. As you know, Robinson is so sinister and treacherous. In case he tries to get Rachel’s DNA, then..."
Chester’s expression shifted from deep to icy cold, "Did Alice ask you to say this?"
Keith instantly got nervous, "No, no... Boss, it’s me who asked Miss Alice to come to T City to meet you, but Miss Alice refused. She said she wouldn’t break her promise to you unless you want to see her."
"Mummy, I want bear cookies..."
"Okay."
"Mummy, I also want a suckable jelly..."
"Mm."
"Mummy..."
In the supermarket, Alice pushed the cart with Rachel sitting inside, leisurely shopping.
Although Robinson’s issues were troubling Alice, she didn’t want to miss spending time with Rachel.
This morning, when Rachel insisted on going out to buy snacks, Alice took her out.
After a while, the mother and daughter had a cart full of purchases.
"Little glutton, with so much to eat, you might grow into a chubby girl." As she carried shopping bags out the supermarket door, Alice playfully chided her daughter.
Rachel held Alice’s hand, bouncing happily.
The driver parked the car by the side of the road, Aunt PA was already waiting at the door.
The servant beside them took the shopping bags from Alice’s hand. Just as Alice was about to carry Rachel to Aunt PA, Rachel unexpectedly broke free from Alice and cheerfully ran towards Aunt PA.
Aunt PA was squatting, ready to welcome Rachel...
Alice smiled watching her daughter’s unsteady wobbling, temporarily forgetting all her worries.
But no one expected, at the moment Rachel ran towards Aunt PA, a dark figure suddenly flashed by and directly snatched Rachel away...
Before Alice and everyone else could react, Rachel was already abducted into a business car...
The car zoomed past Alice’s eyes...
Alice shouted, chasing after them, "Rachel!!"
Aunt PA and others also started chasing after they came to their senses, but the car had already disappeared from their sight.
No one expected someone to daringly snatch Rachel in broad daylight.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, with some calling the police, others driving in pursuit...
Aunt PA and the Robinson family’s servants followed, searching around like ants on a hot pan...
Alice sprained her ankle while chasing Rachel earlier, and now she squatted weakly on the ground.
"Rachel, Rachel..." Alice murmured, tears already welling in her eyes.
Not far away, Aunt PA saw Alice sobbing uncontrollably and rushed over to support her, "Miss..."
"Don’t mind me, go find Rachel quickly..."
Aunt PA thus released Alice and ran to the intersection to ask passersby.
Many had seen Rachel being taken away in a car, but no one knew where the car ultimately went...
Before long, the driver who chased the car also returned with his car because he lost track of the car that took Rachel...
When the driver told Alice that Rachel had been taken by that car, Alice completely broke down, ignoring all the servants’ dissuasion, and screamed desperately, wanting to find Rachel...
At that moment, Keith appeared in front of Alice holding Rachel.
Rachel was still clutching the lollipop she had just bought, but she was evidently terrified, now with a pale face calling out to Alice, "Mommy..."
Seeing Rachel, Alice rushed forward, taking Rachel from Keith’s arms and tightly embracing her.
"Rachel..."
Alice hugged Rachel tightly, tears flowing even more freely.
Keith said, "It’s all right now, Miss Alice, we’re here."
Alice no longer cared about anything else; she kissed and laughed while holding Rachel, immersed in the joy of reunion.
After a long time, Alice sat in the rear seat with Rachel, who had fallen asleep, and Keith.
Reflecting on the recent danger, Alice gratefully said to Keith, "Thank you for saving Rachel. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do..."
Keith replied with a smile, "No need to be so polite with me, Miss Alice..."
Alice sniffed and asked, "By the way, why are you here?"
"I’m here to protect you."
"Hm?" Alice shook her head in confusion.
Keith explained seriously, "That day, when you called to tell me about Robinson’s threats, I informed the boss of the situation... The boss then sent me to Paris to protect you."
"You’re saying... my brother asked you to come protect us?"
Keith nodded, "Yes... The boss knows well that Robinson is capable of anything sinister. He’s worried Robinson might harm you and the missy to snatch the inheritance, so he sent me to protect you... I didn’t expect, just as I traced you and the missy to this place, I came across someone driving away the missy, fortunately my team reacted quickly, blocked the car two intersections away, and arrested the people inside."
Alice was incredulous, "You mean, it was my uncle who kidnapped Rachel?"
Keith replied, "Yes... We’ve long suspected Robinson might have evil intentions... He currently has no evidence that Rachel is the boss’s daughter, so he’ll likely try to obtain Rachel’s DNA, and then the boss’s DNA, although getting the boss’s DNA may be difficult, so his worst plan must be threatening you and the boss with Rachel..."
Alice bit her lip, lowered her head to kiss the sleeping little darling, and choked up, "She must have been terrified."
Keith said warmly, "As long as the boss is here, rest assured, Miss Alice, you and the missy will be safe."
Alice smiled slightly, "Thank you, Assistant Antony..."
Keith said, "I’ll first take you back to the villa, and we’ll talk about everything else there."
"Okay."
After the recent danger, Alice didn’t want Rachel out of her sight for a moment. Now, she still held the sweetly sleeping Rachel, nervously seated on the sofa in the hall.
Keith sat opposite Alice, saying, "Miss Alice, I’ve just called the boss... He wants me to take you and Rachel to T City."
Keith’s words left Alice in disbelief, "What are you saying? You mean... my brother wants you to take me and Rachel to T City?"
Keith nodded with a smile, "Yes, Miss Alice, the boss isn’t at ease with you and Rachel in Paris. He wants me to take you and Rachel to T City for a while, until the final trial of the case is out, I’ll bring you back."
After the recent incident, Alice felt no sense of security at all...
She never expected her uncle and aunt, in order to obtain the inheritance, would do something as brutal as kidnapping...
Feeling heartbroken, Alice looked at Rachel, and sorrowfully uttered, "Did he personally say he wanted us to be taken there?"
Keith nodded, "Yes, it was indeed the boss’s personal request, otherwise I wouldn’t dare defy the boss’s orders."
Alice bit her lip, "When are we leaving?"
Keith said, "This afternoon... The sooner the better, Robinson has some influence here, the longer we wait, the more risk there is."
Alice nodded, "Okay... I’ll have Aunt PA help me pack."
