Chapter 291: A blind date
The coldness in his tone had Alice flinch.
But in the next moment, she masked her reaction and squared her shoulder. She retracted her hand from him, ’’I don’t know what you want. But if you want to turn Diana against me, you better drop that idea,’’ she averted her gaze.
Helian Chen stalked towards her, watching the woman retreat a few steps immediately at his approach. He stopped in his tracks, ’’Daisy is our daughter too.’’
’’It’s worthless to think about her. She lost her virginity and she even has a child she got who knows from which man. At this moment, it’s better if we put our focus on Diana and groom her properly. If you let Daisy take over your position in the future, people will say that the head of the Chen Family is a whore who...’’
Helian Chen pinched her chin in a tight grip, interrupting her words, ’’Say that again.’’
The pain had tears pooling in Alice’s eyes yet, ’’Is this how you are going at it now? Do you want to kill me? Did I not tell the truth? Do the people not call such a woman a whore?!" she snapped.
His grip loosened her chin the moment he saw that look in her eyes. It never changed. That self-loathing in her eyes never disappeared, ’’I don’t care what the world says. It is worthless to me.’’
’’Is it really?" Alice mocked. She shook her head and stepped back from him, ’’Tomorrow, let’s go out on dinner with Diana. I have plans.’’
Helian Chen frowned, ’’It was hard for me to convince her to eat with me. Do you think she will go anywhere with you?"
’’Then, it’s up to you to convince her.’’
’’What makes you think I will do it?" he watched as the woman turned around to leave, his gaze lingered towards the spot where she had the wound and as expected the dress clung to her skin, the material of the clothing had dried which told him she must have torn her wound.
