Chapter 53: Unearth Her Secret
Chapter 53: Unearth Her Secret
Standing in the airport, she was very troubled. But it was over, and it was useless for her to struggle
with it. She could only wait until dawn before leaving.
Although under the same sky, different cities had different weather. T City was raining heavily, but the
sky of B City was full of stars.
Mia went home very late after having fun with her friends. About two hundred meters away from the
gate, she saw a sneaky figure. Driven by alcohol, she stepped forward quickly and yelled, “Who’s
there?”
Frightened by her shout, the figure held his head and started crying, and it seemed to be a man from
his voice. She couldn't help wondering, “Is she so scary? Just by one roar, a mature man can be
scared to cry with fright?”
“Hey, who are you? Why are you sneaking around at my gate?”
She unceremoniously stepped forward and pushed him.
The man holding his head stopped crying, glanced at her secretly, and said meekly, “I, I'm looking for
my wife.”
“Your wife? Who is your wife? Your wife is not in my house!”
“But the driver sent me here, at this address.”
The man hurriedly took out a crumpled piece of white paper from his jacket pocket, with a line of
address written on it, and it was exactly the address of Mia's house.
“Strange, who gave you this?”
“It was stolen from my dad's study.”
“Who is your dad?”
“My dad is an upstart.”
Poof.
She couldn't help laughing, and he turned out to be a fool after all this endeavor.
“Bro, you are at the wrong place. We don't have your wife in our house. You can look elsewhere.”
Mia turned to leave, but the man stretched out his hand to drag her, “You lie, my wife lives here.”
She shook it off impatiently, and said disgustedly, “Pervert! I told you she’s not here. If you don't leave, I
will call the police.”
The man started crying again, took out a six-inch photo from his pocket, and muttered to himself,
“Alicia, Alicia, where are you? Don't you want Felix...”
Suddenly, Mia heard him call Alicia, stretched out her hand to grab the photo in his hand, fixed her
eyes on it, and nearly dropped her eyeballs, “She is your wife???”
Felix sobbed and nodded, “Yeah.”
“You are saying that she is your wife?”
Mia asked again in disbelief.
“Yes, she is the wife my father bought for me.”
For a few minutes, Mia remained silent, only staring at the photo. She didn't know if she should believe
this fool's words. If she didn’t, what's the matter with this photo? The person in it was indeed a thorn in
her side—Alicia.
“Do you really want to find your wife?”
“……Yep.”
A flash of slyness appeared in Mia's eyes, “Well, I’ll take you to find her.”
She took Felix to a hotel and settled him down, and then began to inquire about the whole matter.
Although he was a fool and he said in an intermittent way, she basically understood most of it by
guessing and analyzing what he said.
“So, your father spent a lot of money to buy you Alicia as your wife? As soon as you both grow up, she
must be yours?”
Felix nodded foolishly, “Yes.”
Mia jumped up with excitement, and all of a sudden she was wild with joy, “Bro, you are here at the
right time, you know? Alicia is a perfect match for you, and no one is more suitable for her than you.”
Thinking of having unearthed Alicia's secret, she was so excited that she even wanted to sing. She
would make her pay tenfold for the humiliation she had suffered before.
“Where is my wife? Aren’t you bringing me to find her?”
Mia stopped smiling and said, “Don't worry, she will be back tomorrow from a business trip. You can
sleep here tonight. I will definitely take you to her tomorrow.”
Felix scratched his head, “All right then.”
As soon as Mia got home, she woke her sleeping mother up, “Mom, wake up, I have good news for
you.”
Holly opened her eyes slightly, “What's up? Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm so sleepy.”
“No, if you don't hear me, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.”
She started to talk about how she met Felix. Holly was completely awake after listening to what she
said, “Is that true?”
“It's 100% true, Mom, now we have a chance to stand up. If we expose her secret, her marriage to
Carlos will be a fraudulent one. At that time, let's see how she could still stay in the Noel-Baker family!”
“As soon as Carlos sends her out, we can humiliate her, and she will not even dare to enter our house
again. We can also publicize her scandal and make her lose all her reputation in B City.”
Mia got more excited as she talked, Holly frowned suddenly, “No, you can't go directly to the Noel-
Baker family to expose her.”
“Why?”
“Don't forget about the reason why Alicia married Carlos, which I and your father can’t get away with. If
you expose it yourself, it is difficult to guarantee that Carlos will not vent his grievances on us, so it has
to be reconsidered from the long-term perspective.”
Mia thought that her mother made sense, so after three hours of discussion, they finally decided to ask
Alicia out and make her retreat.
Alicia just flew back from T City to B City, and when she got off the plane, she received a call from Mia,
“Hello?”
“Where are you? Let’s meet.”
“Not available.” She rejected coldly.
Mia seemed to expect that she would reject her, so she was not angry. She said firmly, “You must
come, otherwise you will regret it.”
“Oh? Give me a reason to go.”
“I won't tell you the reason for now, you will know when you come.”
“If I insist on not going?”
“I told you, you will regret it. I will only wait for you for half an hour. I hope you will make a wise choice.”
Mia hung up the phone. Alicia was so smart that she immediately thought that Felix might have gone to
Mia's house. She called back right away, “It's not that I don’t want to meet you, it’s just that I'm not in B
city now. How about this? We’ll meet on Thursday afternoon.”
“Do you think I will believe it?”
“If you don't believe me, you can call the Noel-Baker family and ask them. I am attending a classmate's
wedding in T City.”
Mia was dubious, “Okay, I’ll call them now.”
She actually made the phone call to Cloud Mansion and the housekeeper answered the it. When he
heard that it was for the Mrs. Alicia, he truthfully answered that she was not there. It was exactly the
same as what Alicia said.
At the airport, Alicia hung up the phone and immediately contacted Dillon. They reached an agreement,
and she found a hotel near the airport, patiently waiting for the couple to come over.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Alicia received a call from Mia again, “Have you come back?”
“I'm back, on my way to meet you.”
The taxi stopped at a cafe in the city center. She walked in calmly, and the moment she saw Felix, she
understood everything.
“Alicia, Alicia, I finally found you, I miss you so much.”
As soon as Felix saw her, he rushed over and cried like a baby.
She slowly pushed him away, and calmly said, “Felix, you are being naughty again, do you know your
parents are worried about you?”
Mia watched this scene with a sarcasm at the corner of her lips. She coughed lightly, “Alicia, can you
save it after we finish talking about the real business?”
“What business?”
“Are you still pretending? This man is your husband, I know everything now.”
Huh, Alicia sneered, “You have great imagination, who told you that he is my husband?”
“He said it himself.”
“Do I need to find an expert to identify him and see if he is normal?”
Mia's face went gloomy, “Maybe he has a problem with his IQ, but it doesn't mean there is a problem
with what he said.”
“He has a problem with his IQ, and how can there be no problem with what he said? You are picking a
fight.”
“Are you denying it now? If there is no such thing, how could he know you and how would he call you
his wife?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I didn't say that I didn't know him, but I didn't admit that what you said was right, either. He is just a
child of my godfather’s. He is one year younger than me, and can be regarded as my younger brother.”
“Younger brother? Do you think I would be fooled by you? I solemnly warn you, if you keep being so
stubborn and reluctant to admit it, you are asking for it.”
“Then what do you want?”
Alicia was looking at her calmly. Mia cleared her throat and said sternly, “Leave Carlos. It is the only
way you can get away without getting hurt right now.”
“Why should I listen to you?”
She sneered, “Because I know your dirty secret. Even if you are not reconciled, you can only do as I
say.”
“What if I don’t do as you say? What? Go to the Noel-Baker family and expose me?”
“Yes.”
Alicia snorted angrily, “I didn’t want to say it, but you have always been foolhardy. Do you think that
Carlos will consider you if you get me away?”
“Whether he will consider me or not, it’s none of your business. I have my own plan, as long as you,
who is so disturbing, disappear.”
“Haven’t you ever thought that he would vent his anger on the Joliot-Curie family? I think you are pretty
aware what kind of person he is.”
“Why do you care about our family? We didn't make you marry this fool.”
Although Felix was a fool, he was still unhappy to hear others call him that. He roared angrily at Mia,
“You are a fool! You ugly woman!”
Poof...
Alicia couldn't help laughing out loud. Somebody was very sensitive about being called ugly. See, her
face turned ashen.
“Do you agree or not? I don't have time to play with you!”
“Agree to what? Why should I agree to an unwarranted charge?”
Mia was completely annoyed, and she stood up with a loud sound, “Fine, Alicia, let’s wait and see.”
Just as she was about to leave, a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s walked towards her. Before she
could react, the man slapped Felix in the face and said with a livid face, “Little bastard, won’t you just
let me rest for one day!”
It seemed that the slap fell on Mia's face, and she was stunned.
“Godfather, why did you slap him?”
Alicia stepped forward to protect Felix, and there was a hint of accusation and distress in her eyes.
“Do you think it’s fine not to beat him? He calls others his wife whenever he sees a woman. Now even
you are his wife. It's getting out of control!”
“It's okay, he just can’t understand.”
Alicia looked at the woman with a gloomy expression aside, “Godfather, let me introduce you to my
sister Mia.”
“Oh, you are Alicia's younger sister, nice to meet you.”
Mia was furious and she even wanted to kill her. She asked sarcastically, “Oh, sister, when did you
have a godfather? Why don't I know?”
“Long time ago. I thought you might not be interested in knowing, so I didn't tell you.”
As soon as Alicia finished speaking, the phone in her pocket rang, and when she saw that it was
Carlos’ number, her eyelashes trembled a little, “I should answer it. Just keep talking.”
Carlos rarely took the initiative to call her, and it kind of frightened her that he actually called at this
moment.
