Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap-Chapter 980: This Way We Both Have Peace of Mind
Sophia Wood’s surprise and confusion were directly conveyed over the phone, but this time Alice Turner didn’t plan to explain herself. She simply replied, "You’ll understand when the time comes."
Right now, she didn’t know exactly what was going on there, whether his parents had managed to call him, or what they said to him. She was completely in the dark about these things.
"Can’t you just tell me, dear?" Sophia was anxious to find out what was going on, but she didn’t realize that Alice wasn’t unwilling to tell her—Alice herself didn’t understand the situation. If Sophia knew that, she would be even more anxious.
Alice picked up on Sophia’s anxiety, but she was truly helpless. "Mom! I need to get ready now, or else I’ll be late getting back."
She couldn’t continue the conversation with her mom; otherwise, she truly wouldn’t know how to dodge her mom’s inquiries.
"Alright, hurry up and get ready. Once you’re done, come over quickly," Sophia said, realizing that pressing on wouldn’t get her the answers she wanted. She stopped asking questions and hung up after saying that to Alice.
Hearing the beep on the line, Alice knew her mom had hung up. She let out a long breath and took the phone away from her ear.
Bzz bzz bzz!
As she was about to grab her bag and head out, the phone in her hand suddenly rang. She thought her mom was calling back and puckered her lips with resignation.
Alice picked up the phone, but instead of her mom’s name, she saw the words "Jerk."
Why was that jerk calling now? Could it be that his mom had already called him?
Alice stared at the flashing number on the screen for a moment, took a deep breath, and then answered the call.
"Alice Turner! What nonsense have you been feeding my mom?" As soon as the call connected, Benjamin Shaw’s angry voice erupted from the other end. He was so furious that he spoke very loudly, making no effort to lower his voice.
Hearing this, Alice immediately knew that Isla Lane had already called Benjamin Shaw. She had no idea what Isla had said to him, but she knew he was extremely angry now.
"I just told your mom that you weren’t staying at the apartment, and I suggested she ask you directly about the rest." She spoke honestly, without any need to deceive him.
"Is this your underhanded move? You told my mom I never come home and that I have another family outside! Alice Turner! Just what are you trying to do with all this nonsense? Are you forcing me to divorce you?" Just after Isla had called Alice, she immediately dialed Benjamin. He had just woken up and barely managed a word before she let him have it with a tirade.
Only half-awake, he had no idea why his mom was scolding him so furiously. After listening carefully, he began to get a sense of what was happening.
He didn’t ask his mom any further questions, stopped her in time, and hung up the call. After ending the call with his mom, he immediately called Alice.
After Benjamin’s long tirade, Alice only focused on his last sentence. She coolly curled her lips, "Since you know that’s exactly what I mean, stop stalling. Let’s just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the proceedings done with. Then you can be completely free, and I won’t have to feed your mom nonsense anymore. It’ll save both of us a lot of trouble."
