A Crazy One-night Stand

At eight o'clock in the evening, Jayden arrived punctually at the villa for Alina's training.

Seeing that her face was still pale, he cancelled her lessons again and returned to Lewis's house.

Wilson stood by the window, smoking. When he noticed Jayden's return, he didn't turn his head towards him but muttered coldly, "Kason is dead!"

"So? When are you going home?" Jayden rolled his eyes.

"I will go back as soon as possible!" Wilson said.

At half-past ten, he received his daily update from Alina. She did not mention anything about being framed by his mother.

The content of her message was positive as usual. She missed him, loved him, and reminded him to take good care of himself!

He had no reason to not love Lina!

Although he felt deeply sorry and regretful for Rosalie's death, no one could return from the dead.

Now that Kason was also dead,

he can lay this matter to rest.

Wilson decided to go home the day after tomorrow.

The next day.

Wilson arrived at the cemetery with a bouquet of lilies.

Standing in front of Rosalie's tombstone, he bent down and placed the lilies on her tombstone.

Looking at the photo of Rosalie with a bright smile on her face, his heart ached. She used to be his lover! However, she left this world because of him.

He took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Rosalie's photo. "Rosalie, I've finally found the person who killed you and avenged you!

"I'm sorry, Rosalie! I've once promised that I will only love you and you alone, but I couldn't keep my promise. I fell in love with Alina! I really love her! "Rosalie, I hope that we will never meet in your next life. If so, you would never have died because of me. Please forgive me!"

Apart from being sorry, he didn't know what else to say to Rosalie.

He gave her smiling photo another meaningful look before getting up and leaving the cemetery.

After leaving the cemetery, he was not anxious to return to the Scott Family villa, but he went to Lewis's house.

If he returned as soon as Kason died, Rainee would have suspected his involvement in Kason's demise. She was not someone to be trifled with.

After reaching Lewis's house, he sent a text message to Alina. "Are you alright?"

He immediately received a reply from her. "I'm doing well, Scumbag! Finally, you have time to reply to my messages. Are you still occupied with work? When will you return home? Oh right, I have received my bonus for the third phase. I've registered my company name with the registrar. Previously, I'm worried that the words 'Orangations' would be taken by other people, now I can finally rest assured!"

With a smile, Wilson read her text message and replied, "I'll be back tomorrow."

"Wow, I can't wait!"

As he read her messages, Wilson could already imagine Alina's smiling face. A warm feeling spread in his heart.

He received another message from Alina. "You can get back to work. Let's have a good chat when you're home!" "Okay!" He said.

After thinking about it, he sent another text. "Alina, I love you!"

When Alina read the contents of his last message, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Rosie, who was sitting opposite Alina, became anxious when she saw her crying. She asked nervously, "Alina, what happened? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Alina continued weeping. She didn't know whether it was because she was moved by Wilson's message or she was feeling wronged.

Rosie frowned and grabbed Alina's phone from her hand.

Reading the text

ssage, Rosie rolled her eyes. "D*mn, you scared me to death. I thought something serious had happened! By the way, Wilson is quite the romantic guy! I always thought that elite people like him must be dull and boring. He could even declare his love for you, that's so romantic of him! Hey, do you think he will bring you a gift when he comes back?"

Alina pouted. "Who knows?"

After that, she grabbed her phone back from Rosie.

Rosie rolled her eyes again. "Stingy!"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Alina's gaze began to wander as the expression on her face changed with her thoughts.

When Alina thought of her budding relationship with Scumbag and Grandfather's support of her, a smile appeared on her face.

As soon as she thought of the sour relationship between her and Sophie, she could not help but frown.

In addition, Monica seemed to be always staying over at the Scott Family villa. This made Alina feel very uncomfortable.

Shaking her head, she cast her worries aside and buried herself in a book.

In less than half an hour, she had to hurry to the bathroom again.

Alina couldn't wrap her head around what happened. Since she drank that cup of cold tea, she was constantly plagued with diarrhoea. She tried many different brands of anti-diarrhoeal medication, but she still hadn't recovered. Alina suspected that she might have chronic gastric inflammation.

Moreover, her diarrhoea only acted up at night. During the day, she felt better, but in the evening, it would become worse.

Originally, Alina planned to see a doctor, but she was too busy with work these days. For instance, she had to bring a stack of documents to the tax bureau later so that she could obtain the tax registration certificate. After that, she had to apply for her company's organizational code certificate.

Because of Alina's weakened state, Jayden had cancelled her daily lessons in a row. Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed.

Dinner was served at the main dining hall in the villa as usual.

But there were obviously fewer people at the table today.

Since George and his family were not there, there were many empty seats around the table.

However, Alina didn't mention anything and focused on eating her food.

Sophie gave Alina a cold glance as she served Monica large helpings of food. She exclaimed pretentiously, "Monica, eat more. I'm so sorry that I was unable to take good care of the necklace you gave me. I almost lost it forever because of a thief in our home."

"Auntie, this may just be a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart, lest you make things difficult for yourself. Have more of the fish, Auntie! Fish is not only good for health but improve one's complexion as well!"

The two of them were busy serving each other food and piling on the compliments, emphasising their close relationship.

Lincoln cast a pointed glance at Sophie and shut her up.

With a frown, he turned to Ethan. "Did you know of Rainee's nephew, Kason, who died in an accident this morning?"

Sophie was overjoyed upon hearing the news. She said in a straightforward manner, "Kason's dead? Is this true? What great news, he had it coming! His punishment finally caught up with him, good riddance!"

She added inwardly, "Too bad that it was Kason and not Rainee who died in the accident!"

"Sophie!" Lincoln rebuked her in a warning tone.

Sophie gritted her teeth and lowered her head. The grudge she held against the Kirkland family wasn't for a day or two, but for more than 20 years. Although many years had passed, her hatred was not reduced at all.

It took all of her effort to maintain the harmonious facade as a family on the surface.

If it weren't for Lincoln and the reputation of the Scott Family, she would have killed Rainee with her bare hands.

Lincoln continued, "George and his family have rushed over to the Kirkland's house. As for the both of you, remember to pay your respects. Don't let outsiders speak ill of you."

Sophie stopped eating and turned to Lincoln with imploring eyes. She seemed to be close to tears.

A moment ago, she was gloating over the Kirkland's misfortune, but now, an aggrieved expression appeared on her face.

Alina noticed the exchange that occurred. She couldn't help but frown.

She had always known that Scumbag's family was at odds with George's family. When she personally witnessed Sophie's reaction to the news, she was sure that the hatred between the families was deeply rooted. Perhaps, something disastrous had brought about the animosity.

Lincoln sighed in resignation. "Sophie, I agree that George's family was in the wrong regarding that matter. However, they have shown regret after the incident. Since it has been so long, you should put the matter to rest and forgive them."

"Father!" Sophie's tears pooled in her eyes. Her tone was full of resentment.

He sighed again. "Alright, Ethan can go alone. If you can't bear it, stay at home!"

After that, he stood up.

Alina immediately followed behind him.

On one hand, she wanted to spend more time with Grandfather while he practised calligraphy. After listening to his wisdom, Alina found her understanding of the world had

broadened. On the other hina

couldn't get along with anyone else in the family. No one would wish to be verbally attacked all the time!

After practising calligraphy with Lincoln, Alina went back to her room. Jayden had texted her that he was not coming today.

Before she could open the door, she heard Silvia's voice from inside the room. "B*tch, why isn't she dead yet? Beggars from the slums are really made differently. I drugged her with such strong laxatives but she could still walk around freely!"

Alina finally understood what happened. So that was the reason why all the anti-diarrhoeal medications wouldn't work even though she had tried many different brands!

Hearing footsteps coming to the door, Alina turned around and hid behind the wall in a flash.

After Silvia left, Alina returned to her room. She poured out some of the tea from the teapot to make it seem like she had drunk the tea. After that, she went to the study to continue reading. Alina maintained her usual routine except that she no longer drank tea in her room.

She was really tired of the power struggles within the Scott Family!

Alina picked up her phone and sent a text message to Wilson. "Scumbag, I've managed to obtain all the certificates for my company. By the way, I think real estate in that

location has great potential anel. m2

the

rental price may increase drastically. So I've gone to the landlord and signed a five-year contract for our

rent!"

She received Wilson's reply immediately. "Honey, you have an eye for good deals! That's amazing. Have a good rest, love you!"

After reading his reply, Alina cast all the unhappy memories from her mind and smiled to herself. As long as Wilson loved her, she had nothing to fear.

When Alina thought of Wilson coming home the next day, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Moreover, she didn't drink the tea that was drugged with laxatives, so her symptoms were significantly better. She got up and worked on the puzzle all night.

While she put the pieces of the puzzle together, she recalled Wilson's look of jealousy when he bought the puzzle. The look on his face was so adorable!

The next morning, Alina walked to the dining room with a wide smile on her face.

Suddenly, she tripped over someone's foot that appeared out of nowhere. Alina lost her balance and fell forward.

With a loud bang, her forehead hit the cement floor. Her skin scraped against the rough surface which burned in pain.

When Alina got up from the ground, she heard a chuckle.

Silvia placed her hands on her hips and stood arrogantly in front of her. In a mocking voice, she said, "Oh my, how could you be so blind? You're already an adult and yet you can't even walk properly."

With a frown, Alina fixed her eyes on Silvia.

Silvia became bolder and stuck her

nose in the air. "I'm the one who

tripped you up and I did it on purpose. What about it? I don't like you one bit. You don't deserve marry into the Scott Family. Alina, don't be so shameless and learn how to give up. Did you think that

just by seducing my brother and currying favour with Grandfather, you could live a wealthy life? Dream on! Do you see her, that's the kind of sister-in-law I will acknowledge."

Alina looked in the direction of Silvia's gesture and saw Monica. She was walking down the steps from the second floor of a building opposite them, her high heels clicking gracefully. 00000
