His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Meet an Old Acquaintance 

Alicia appeared. 

Even though it wasn't her domain, Alicia took the stage with much enthusiasm. 

She walked down from a high position in a trailing dress covered with hand-sewn diamonds, clutching the hand of the person beside her. Her demeanor was proud, like a queen inspecting her domain. 

Nola pinched her brows slightly, apparently disapproving of her pompous display. 

Just as Nola was going to speak to Elianna, she noticed that Elianna had her back toward Alicia with a pale face. 

"Anna, what's wrong with you?" 

"Anna?" 

Elianna could no longer hear Nola's voice. She shivered all over, her stomach spasming as though trying to disgorge the horror inside her. 

If she hadn't misread it, the person next to Alicia was Brett. 

Did Brett's appearance mean that he was here as well? 

Brett was always following him around in Elfold. 

"Anna?" 

Elianna returned to reality and pushed herself to reply, "What's wrong?" 

"What's wrong with you?" 

"Why is your face suddenly so awful?" Nola worriedly inquired. 

"I... I don't feel well in my stomach." 

Just as she considered making an excuse to go, some people around her started chatting. 

"Why is it only Alicia? Isn't Mr. Gibson supposed to be here?" 

"He's not coming. He was meant to come, but he was hospitalized due to a relapse of an old illness, so he sent someone from the Patrick family to accompany Alicia." 

"I see." 

The two people casually speaking had no idea that what they were saying happened to calm Elianna's nervous mind. 

Hearing that the person wasn't here, Eliana finally breathed in some fresh air. 

But she couldn't relax because Brett had seen her more than once. 

Nola pulled Elianna's arm down as she was buried in thought. "Anna, Jefferson has arrived."
