Chapter 54 Did He Promise You?
As Diane walked in, she exuded an air of triumph, like a victorious conqueror.
Alicia had no idea what Diane had discussed with Edmond downstairs at the company, and Edmond hadn't sent any messages to inform her of the matter either.
With varying bust sizes on her face, Alicia couldn't help but feel annoyed just looking at them.
Alicia was a woman who never admitted defeat.
She wouldn't allow herself to show frustration in front of her rival. Leaning back, she lifted her chin, narrowing her beautiful eyes with an air of disdain.
"Tell me more."
Diane remained unfazed by Alicia's commanding presence, wearing a smug expression.
"To be honest, Edmond will never be able to leave me in this lifetime."
"He said he hasn't been intimate with you."
Not only was Diane not angered, she openly admitted it.
"Yes, he didn't actually come that night. But I know he left the villa."
Alicia narrowed her eyes.
Quickly, she understood the implication behind those words Diane had someone monitoring the Agos Mansion.
On their first day of marriage, when Edmond and Alicia were at the villa, there were still other staff members present. Some of those staff members must have been leaking information to Diane.
So, when she intentionally called Edmond, it was only to arouse suspicion in Alicia's mind.
She hadn't expected Edmond to leave so suddenly.
Diane investigated and found out that Edmond had gone to stay in a hotel. Ingeniously, she had found a man with a similar build to Edmond's back and collaborated with him to take a few photos.
And predictably, Alicia fell for it.
"He may not have been intimate with me, but he will definitely stand by my side unconditionally. So, even if he found out about what I did before, he wouldn't kick me out." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Alicia didn't understand where Diane's confidence came from.
But she faintly recalled Kalinda mentioning that Diane was particularly tenacious. Money couldn't make her go away, and Edmond had even allowed her to stay.
That was a highly questionable situation.
Actually, there was a moment when Alicia could have learned about Edmond's connection with Diane, but her fear of losing face, fueled by her own vanity, caused her to drop the subject.
Edmond had said that he would tell her as long as she admitted she was jealous. It had annoyed Alicia to no end.
"You wanted to be a trainee, and he arranged that for you. You wanted to join a talent show, and I arranged that for you as well. So, what more do you want now? Diane, don't have delusions of grandeur. You're not that important, so don't try to put on such a big act."
"I want to have a child with Edmond."
When Diane said this, her expression didn't even show a hint of shame.
A woman who embraced being a homewrecker has no moral boundaries.
Suddenly, Alicia smiled.
Her bright smile broke through the gloom as if a flower had blossomed from a crack, radiantly beautiful.
Diane didn't understand what was so amusing.
After a moment, Alicia's voice turned chilling as she spoke.
"Did Edmond promise you that?"

At noon, Edmond sent Alicia a message, asking if she wanted to have dinner together after work.
But Edmond realized he had been blocked.
He was puzzled.
Alan noticed Edmond's dark expression and couldn't help leaning over to take a look. He was surprised to find that Edmond's phone background was a picture of Alicia enjoying the barbecue.
"Hey, isn't this your cousin who came to see you at the hospital last time? My goodness, Dr. Agos, you're a bit twisted, liking your own cousin? Goodness gracious, I thought you were getting back on track, but it seems your tastes are getting even more peculiar. By the way, does your newlywed wife know about this?"
Edmond's face turned even more sour.
"She's no longer my wife."
"Haha, well, of course not. Who would dare marry you? Everyone's afraid of catching something from you..."
