The president's seventh bride

Chapter 65: The Hidden Secret

The waiter served the dishes and wine. Mia poured a full cup of wine for him, and said in a trembling

tone, "As I know, my sister lives a miserable life. Do you know Carlos? He has married seven times,

and would hurt my sister once he is not happy. What a cruel man! And his family does not treat my

sister as a human being, they let her eat their leftovers, and use her as a servant. She is never allowed

to use the cars of the family, even there is several brand-name cars, so she has to take the bus to and

from work every day... I cannot bear to say more, my sister is so poor, living in that environment like a

ghost."

Ramon drank wildly as he heard what Mia said. He never knew his niece would have such a miserable

life. No wonder she yelled at him last time, asking him to leave her alone and stop making troubles for

her as her life was already a mess.

"That crazy man can't torture her for long."

"Why?"

Mia took advantage of the situation and tried to get Alicia's secret out.

"She'll get a divorce soon and marry Felix."

"No way, Felix is a retarded fool."

"A retarded man is still better than that madman, a retarded man at least knows to love her. Alicia

doesn’t intend to live with that madman Carlos for long, she will return to the Lee family as soon as she

is done using him, the agreement between them has been set for a long time, not to mention, the Lees

have long treated Alicia as their own daughter."

Ramon was obviously drunk, and his anger caused him to start saying somethings he shouldn't.

"Use him? Use him for what?"

"Use his money, his power, and then... to revenge her mother on your parents!!!"

Mia’s face sank. This woman was as venomous as snakes and scorpions, she really had a plan from

the beginning, even wanted to confront with our Joliot-Curie family? I would let you see who was the

winner!

Mia finished her work and went out from the school where she saw Mia was leaning on the side of her

sports car, waving at her proudly, she walked over and asked, "What do you want again?"

"Let's talk."

"Okay, I am listening."

"We should find a place first, this is not the right place to talk about that retarded Felix."

Alicia frowned, "If you are trying to pick a fight, please forgive me for not having time to accompany

you."

She turned around and walked towards the road, Mia shouted in triumph, "If you don't have time, then

can I find my brother-in-law to talk?"

When she heard that she was looking for Carlos, Alicia stopped her pace.

"Okay, let's go."

She wanted to see what trouble this loser, who had nothing to do all day long, was trying to find for her

this time.

Mia drove the car to the cafe where the two met last time, as soon as they sat down, she said directly,

"Just leave Carlos."

Alicia smiled contemptuously, "Are you nut? Why should I leave him?"

"If you don't want him to know the dirty deal of you, then be a smart girl and leave him, otherwise you

will be in a very big trouble."

"Do you think this is the first time that you are threatening me?"

"Last time I had no evidence, but this time is different, I have enough evidence to expose your lies."

"Do you? Then show it to me."

Mia snorted and then took out the recording pen. It was Ramon’s sound. The recordings could better

reflect how impure Alicia's initial purpose for marrying Carlos was.

Her face sank and Alicia smiled in satisfaction. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"How about it, would it be interesting if I take this to brother-in-law and your loving parents in-laws to

listen?"

"Vile."

Alicia gritted her teeth and cursed Mia.

"I learned to be mean from you. Last time, you tricked me and my father, causing our family to lose so

much money for nothing, I'm just returning the favor."

"With only a recording pen, dare you want to threaten me? Foolish!"

"Then we'll see, I'll give you a week to think about it, next week of today if you have not left him

voluntarily, all the truth will be revealed to the world."

"Whatever you want, I don’t care."

Alicia got up and went away on an elegant pace, but when she went out of the cafe, she could no

longer disguise herself. The sun shone on her face, which made her more paler.

She came to her uncle's house, her aunt was lying in bed. Ramon seemed a bit guilty and asked

tentatively, "Alicia, what brings you here?"

She put the nourishment on the table and asked indifferently, "Is aunt getting better?"

"Quite well, it is discovered early and her condition has been controlled now."

"You come out with me for a moment."

She indifferently glanced at her uncle and got out of the house, with Ramon following her to an acacia

tree.

"Have you met Mia?"

"Yes, she asked me out last time."

"What did you say to her?"

"I didn't say anything to her, she knew the thing about Felix, so she came over and asked me."

"So you told her everything?"

The robin on the acacia tree was screaming hysterically, making an annoying sound.

"Did I say anything?" Ramon asked timidly.

"How could you not know what did you say? You said I married Carlos to get revenge on the Joliot-

Curie family, and as soon as I'm done taking revenge, I'll leave him and marry another man, that man is

a retarded fool, but the retarded fool is better than that madman Carlos."

The more Alicia said, the more trembling her voice became, "Do you know, Mia recorded all what you

said and threatened me like Dillon, if I do not leave Carlos, she will show the recording to him."

Ramon knelt down in front of Alicia, "Alicia, I am so sorry. I am so sorry I didn't know I had said such a

thing, but it was Mia who told me that you were being mistreated at the Carlos Noel’s and that the

family didn't treat you like a human being... I was so drunk at that time and I felt very heart broken for

you."

"It’s enough, how could you believe in Mia's words? Don't you have a brain? If I have no status at in the

Carlos Noel’s family, why would I stay there? You know nothing, but only cause me trouble!"

Alicia angrily pushed her uncle away, then turned around and ran away. God was never fair to her, she

was left alone already in the world, God still had to let her only uncle be her big burden.

When she returned home restlessly, Carlos had already got home, seeing that she was a bit distracted,

and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

She gave him a meaningful glance and shook her head slightly, "Nothing."

In fact, she really wanted to ask him, why could not he love her? If he could love her, or even have a

little bit of her in his heart, she wouldn't be so distressed and frightened.

In front of Mia, she pretended to be indifferent, in fact, she was more afraid than anyone else that

Carlos would know the truth, and not only would not like her, but even would hate her.

She also thought of confessing everything to him, but it was hopelessly put off the moment he rejected

her, because he didn't love her and she had lost the bargaining chip to be forgiven.

"Are you free tomorrow night?"

"Is there anything?"

"There's a business reception and I'd like you to accompany me."

"Okay."

Carlos smiled and nodded, "I'll pick you up from school tomorrow afternoon to try on dresses, then go

straight there."

"Okay."

The next afternoon, while Alicia was packing up her things in the office, she received a call from Carlos,

"Do you come out yet?"

"Right away."

She grabbed her bag and ran out, but was stopped by Noah outside the door, "Are you free tonight?

Can you accompany me... "

"Sorry, I already have a date."

She gave him an apologetic look and ran away hurriedly.

When Carlos saw her coming out, he opened the car door in time for her to get in, and when the car

started, Alicia saw Noah's sad gaze, refracting from the other side of the car.

The dress fitting store was located in the busiest area of the city center, when Carlos took her in, a

middle-aged man dressed strangely greeted them, "Young Master Carlos, what a rare guest."

Carlos nodded slightly, "This is my wife, please help her pick a dress, we are going to an important

reception later."

"Okay, no problem."

The middle-aged man, whose screen name was Peter, was a stylist of great talent. No matter what kind

of woman was handed over to him, later she would become eye-catching, being from ugly to beautiful,

from beautiful to more beautiful.

Carlos was waiting for her for about twenty minutes, then Peter led Alicia out, "Young Master Carlos,

are you satisfied with this young beautiful girl?"

Alicia was bit shy and lowered her head. A girl always wanted to dress for her man. Although she also

wanted to let Carlos see the beautiful side of her, she felt a bit shy when she sensed that Carlos

noticed her intention.

Carlos looked very surprised, with his eyes fixing on her, and praised with great satisfaction, "You are

so charming."

He walked a little closer to her and held the necklace around her neck to the center, his slender fingers

slid over her collarbone, Alicia's heart began to beat wildly.

"Let's go."

Carlos stretched out an arm, she cooperated to catch on, and walked out of the dress store, Peter

looked at the backs of the two, sighing, "What a handsome couple... "

Arriving at the reception, Carlos parked the car and then led Alicia walk to the hall. As they

approached, they attracted all the attention, becoming the most shining couple. All guests stared at

them and whispered to each other.

Alicia had already got used to it. When she married Carlos, she knew she would become the spotlight

once she was with Carlos.
