Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Back in the Day

When Alicia came out after changing her clothes, Eli had already left.

Edmond saw that she wore a white dress, dressed innocently and well-behaved, and immediately knew where she would go.

"Let's go together," Edmond stated.

"They only asked for me," Alicia answered.

"Well, I don't need approval before returning home." Edmond rebutted.

Alicia gave up refusing his offer and allowed Edmond to send her to the Agos Mansion.

The elderly couple were surprised to see them both returning together.

Peter immediately called Alicia to his study room.

"The scandal was an attempt to piss Ed off?" Peter cut straight to the point.

This kind of trick was commonly seen in higher society, and getting exposed was normal. Alicia nodded her head and acknowledged her doings, "Yes."

"So, did Ed get jealous?" Peter asked.

"I guess not," Alicia replied.

Peter snorted coldly and complained, "That fool."

Alicia was surprised by his reaction and questioned, "Do you not blame me?"

"Why would I blame you? It was Ed who was in the wrong in the first place. Even if you really cheated on him, he deserved it." Peter explained.

The outcome was not what Alicia had expected.

She almost wondered if Edmond was actually an adopted child instead.

"Do you remember our discussion about Ed back in the study room during your sophomore year?" Peter asked again.

She was slightly stunned and pursed her lips before nodding.

Alicia recalled the situation back then...

During her sophomore year, Peter called her to the study room.

"Licia, I'm an old acquaintance of your biological parents." Peter started the topic.

Alicia stared at Peter in shock before shakingly asking, "How are they doing now?"

"They passed away in a car accident when you had just turned a month old. When I learned about the incident, you were already ten years old. I had sent my men to search in all the orphanages in Arnoford City before I finally found out your whereabouts." Peter explained patiently.

Only then did Alicia realize why she was chosen out of a dozen kids that year.

It turned out that Peter was there for her.
