Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 422: She might be your love rival…
He tried all possible means, yet only left those mottled marks on Alston.
But he had already been stirred emotionally.
Helpless, he summoned his subordinate and injected him with the same drug...
This subordinate had a physique similar to Alston’s.
And in the video, the person who had a genuine encounter with him was this subordinate.
Because the face shown in the video was Alston himself, and his subordinate only showed his back, everyone thought he was with Alston that night. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Even Alston believed it!
He didn’t explain, and he convinced himself that the person that night was Alston.
As for the subordinate who actually had that encounter, he dealt with him that very night.
So, in this world, no one knew what really happened that night except him.
Now, Alston was right in front of him, and he was drugged and unable to resist, while this time he didn’t want to wait any longer.
Before he could make a move, Neal Galan decisively spoke up, "Oliver, you’re not afraid of death, but what about your mother?"
Oliver couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at Neal, "Alston, she is also your aunt!"
"So what?" Neal’s jet-black eyes smoldered with a terrifying killing intent.
He looked at Oliver, speaking coldly like an Asura from hell, "Oliver, if you dare touch me today, I will not only kill you and your mother but make the entire Nash Residence pay!"
Oliver: "..."
He knew Alston’s power.
He could not possibly trap Alston forever.
Moreover, he believed that Alston was capable of following through on his words.
If he really touched Alston today, Alston would definitely kill him and his mother, and even ensure the whole Nash Residence accompanied them in death.
He couldn’t bear to hurt Alston, yet Alston could bear to hurt him.
In a confrontation with Alston, he would be the one who got hurt.
He wasn’t afraid to die; he would be willing to die by Alston’s hands.
But what about his mother? What about the entire Nash Residence?
"Alston, you’re truly ruthless!" Oliver whispered in pain, stumbling away.
He did nothing and dared not do anything.
But even doing nothing, he would not let Alston leave and go to Whitehill to find that woman.
After calming down, Oliver clearly understood: as long as he didn’t touch Alston’s bottom line, Alston wouldn’t touch his mother or the entire Nash Residence.
...
Whitehill was still in the process of reconstruction and recovery.
Currently, the palace of Whitehill had been restored to its original state.
Muir stood before the window, gazing thoughtfully at the restored palace.
Behind him, a tall man dressed in black walked in.
He stopped a short distance from Muir, nodding respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Muir turned to look at the man in black, "Ralph, I called you here today because I have some matters for you to handle."
Ralph knelt down, looking at Muir, "Please, Your Majesty, command me."
Muir reached out to lift Ralph up, "Ralph, you have been protecting me all these years as my Hidden Guard and my most trusted person. Some matters can only be entrusted to you so I can be at ease."
Ralph remained silent, waiting for Muir’s command.
Muir looked at Ralph and slowly spoke, "The tasks I’m entrusting you with are of great importance, concerning the fate of the entire Whitehill. You must not let me down."
Ralph looked at Muir, his eyes firm, "Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will complete the task at all costs!"
"Good!" Muir nodded in satisfaction and then laid out the tasks for Ralph.
"Ralph, from today on, you have two tasks to complete. First, go to River City and check on everything regarding Melody there. Second, seek out a man named Neal Galan; he is the destiny of the Princess. The future of Whitehill and the fate of its people facing great calamity depend on him."
"Yes!" Ralph responded and turned to leave.
Ralph, the Hidden Guard of the King of Whitehill.
He remained hidden in the shadows for years, never appearing in public unless in life-and-death situations or by the King’s decree.
He is loyal only to the King.
It is a coincidence that this man shares the same last name with Benjamin Parker’s bodyguard, Barrett Carter.
And more than that.
In addition to the last name, he also possesses a face that is seventy percent similar to Barrett Carter’s.
...
River City.
With the engagement of Serena Sterling and Malcom Moore approaching, Melody Parker, as a good friend, naturally wanted to accompany Serena and make some arrangements for her engagement with Malcom.
The engagement ceremony a week later was scheduled to be held at the Crown Hotel in River City.
The arrangements for the engagement should have been personally handled by Malcom Moore.
But Malcom had just taken over the Morris Group and was especially busy every day.
Serena was concerned for Malcom, reluctant to burden him with further stress, and felt that since the Crown Hotel was a Morris family asset, she took the responsibility herself.
Malcom also felt that since he’d already instructed everything, it was fine for Luna to oversee if she wanted.
After all, it was his and Luna’s engagement, so as long as Luna was happy, it was alright.
Therefore, Melody Parker and Serena Sterling went to the Crown Hotel, accompanied Serena and the hotel’s manager, and finalized every detail for the engagement day.
After leaving the Crown Hotel, Melody Parker and Serena Sterling walked into a nearby mall.
They spent a long time there, buying many clothes for themselves and their little ones.
Carrying large and small bags out of the mall, they directly entered a nearby coffee shop to rest and chat.
They chatted happily, teasing each other with smiles.
Not far from them, in the corner of the cafe, sat a girl.
The girl was drinking coffee alone, and when she saw Melody Parker and Serena Sterling walk in, her eyes immediately filled with shock...
She could no longer focus on anything else, her eyes following Melody Parker and Serena Sterling until they sat down, at which point her gaze fixed on them.
Noticing that someone was watching them, Serena Sterling followed the direction of the gaze.
A girl sat in the corner of the cafe.
The girl was slender, with a fair complexion, and dressed in a classical cheongsam, giving an impression similar to Lin Daiyu from Cao Xueqin’s writings.
The girl was staring blankly at her, or perhaps at both of them.
Serena Sterling was certain she didn’t know the girl.
So she immediately said to Melody Parker, "Melody, look. There’s a girl over there staring at you, she might be your fan."
Melody Parker turned her head and looked in Serena’s direction.
Noticing Melody Parker’s gaze, the girl hurriedly retracted her eyes in panic.
Seeing this, Melody Parker laughed quietly, "Luna, you’re mistaken. She’s not my fan, but she might actually be your rival in love."
