Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Trevor was also aware of her change of behavior, but he just couldn't find an opportunity to talk to her. Troubled by the thought of it, he placed down his wineglass and said, "Make yourselves at home!" As soon as Trevor left, the four masters then clinked their glasses and made a casual conversation together. Wyatt was the first to speak, "Don't you guys think Trevor rushed his marriage?" Shortly, Carson said, "Victoria is such a beauty! It would be strange if he didn't do so! Can't you see how many people had feasted their eyes on her?" Willy gently swirled the wineglass in his hand and said, "The thing is, this bride doesn't seem to pay much attention to our Master Trevor!" He gazed at Frederick from the corner of his eye and there was a slight hint of sarcasm embedded within his words. Among the four of them, besides Carson who was known to be kind and popular with the women, another of them would undeniably be Frederick! "Isn't it weird that Trevor cares so much for this woman that he had been with not too long ago? Besides that, he's even in a hurry to marry her!" Carson muttered as he hooked his arm around Frederick's neck. "Hey, Frederick, do you know the details of their story?" Frederick pushed his hand down and patted Carson on the shoulder before he raised his glass to consthe wine, "What else could it be? Just you wait for that someone who will make your heart skip a beat. By then, you'll be the sas well!" Looking out in the distance, Frederick couldn't help but frowned. Why was he in such a hurry? Was it really for Victoria? Or was it because of what he said to him? He thought.

However, this woman must be unlike the others for Trevor to make such an exception! Deep down, Frederick hoped that Trevor's marriage with Victoria would be harmonious. In addition to her unusual identity, she was also related to Alicia after all. Their relationship was exactly like a double-edged sword. If he handled it well, they would absolutely becinvincible! However, if he couldn't, then all of his feelings and efforts would be jeopardized.

"Frederick, you clearly don't understand my hardships as a bachelor. You're just triggering me..." Wyatt patted Carson on the shoulder while he smiled and said, "So, go on and get yourself a lady! Haha!" At that moment, Willy turned around and answered a phone call while the three of them continued with their chatters. Momentarily, a few people cover one after the other to speak with each of them. After he attempted parting ways with the people around him, Frederick suddenly had the urge to look for Alicia. He was relieved when he turned around and saw her with Nicholas. As his eyes averted to a quiet corner of the hall, he noticed that Willy and the other two men were having a secret discussion. A solemn look was written on all three of their faces. Right then, Frederick grabbed another glass of wine and walked over to them.

"What should we do about it? The issue seems to be very complicated!" "We can't possibly tell him on his big day! Why don't we inform Frederick about it first? Besides, it's only a hunch after all!" As soon as he cto a halt, Frederick asked, "What's the matter? Why are you all acting mysteriously?" At that moment, Wyatt turned around and their eyes met. He then moved aside and made way for Frederick to walk over. Right then, Willy said, "I received a few calls from speople earlier, they all offereda high price for the Paradise Coffee!" Lifting his eyes, Frederick was utterly confused. "Paradise Coffee? Are you talking about the drink that is popular in the nightclubs these days? The one that tastes weird and is oddly expensive?" Was it really necessary to inform Frederick about a matter like this? Willy nodded and said, "You should know the Paradise Coffee and Hell Ice Liquor are basically the must-haves at nightclubs lately. I was talking to Mr. Nick earlier, and he mentioned that his club is in the ssituation too! Without these drinks, the customers' patronage for any club will be limited. If that happens, your business would easily be taken over by others! Therefore, most of the big nightclubs had no other choices but to sell those drinks! However, the nightclubs could only buy the recipe and ingredients for the Hell Ice Liquor. It contains a unique kind of ingredient which is similar to crushed ice, but its price is almost equal to that of gold. The Paradise Coffee is only sold by a fixed retail personnel and has never been listed in any nightclub. That aside, the drink has recently gone out of stock and no one knows what truly happened. Moreover, these two drinks have a common and peculiar characteristic. Although they do have a weird taste and aren't very appealing, when the two drinks are mixed or when you drink them one after another, you will be able to experience an endless divine aftertaste! There is a recent popular saying among the upper-class tycoons which goes like, coffee and wine are indispensable, the only way to travel around the world is through liquor! Many people are currently offering a high price and even use various methods to obtain the Paradise Coffee! I suspect that consuming both drinks will cause an addiction..." Hence, It sold despite its high price.

As such, both drinks were not allowed to be sold together at nightclubs. However, they were permitted to sell one of the two as the alcohol operation was a legal business. Even if the authorities had conducted a search, they still wouldn't be able to find any issues regarding their businesses! Likewise, it was suspected that the coffee was also added with sspecial substances. Nothing out of the ordinary could be detected if both drinks were examined separately. Despite that, a drug-like substance would be produced if you combined both drinks. Customers would ultimately be addicted to the mix and they would constantly buy it at a ridiculous price! By that time, the sellers could completely deny the truth if the drinks were investigated. At most, they would only be indicted for selling unlicensed coffee. Who in their right minds would admit that mixing coffee and liquor would produce a special sensation? Food always counteracted against each other, so the fault would definitely fall upon the customers who consumed indiscriminately.

As soon as he heard that, Frederick understood immediately and a solemn look also appeared on his face. After all, he had seen how popular these two drinks were during his recent engagement in social events! Frederick had consumed the Paradise Coffee before because he was trying to wean off alcohol.

Nevertheless, he only took a few sips out of the drink due to his restricted coffee consumption and the weird taste of it. If theseletwo drinks could really cause an addiction, then a lot of people would be hooked to it already! Whether they were addicted or not, it was still unknown for the tbeing. The speed at which the drinks had devastated people's bodies and minds was simply horrifying!

If that was so, then most of his collaborations couldn't beguaranteed later on How could they still be in their right minds to run business if they had an addiction? At that moment, Carson said, "Frederick, do you remember... That time, when Trevor fainted. That formula? The one with an equation written on it?" "Do you mean..." Had the formula been leaked? Was it that formula that contained the recipe for one of the drinks? Raising his eyes, Frederick was obviously stunned by Carson's words.

Carson nodded his head and said, "Even if it's not, I still think they're quite similar! I have my reasons to doubt that these two drinks aren't

only supposed to target the Clements family, but the entire upper-class circle instead! Casterwich City was simply the ideal place for them to test the drinks! After all, the people who could afford these drinks must be financially capable. Thus, this was the quickest way for them to earn moneyb believe that the Hell Ice Liquor is merely a worthless base The key ingredients must be in the Paradise Coffee! Otherwise, wouldn't they have lost their profit from selling so many Hell Ice Liquor? The Paradise Coffee was originally sold at ten thousand dollars a box, but now you can't even get it for ten thousand dollars per packet! Even so, most people still preferred the coffee over the liquor! Therefore, I believe the coffee is the main reason behind their addictions! Frederick, for them to be able to concoct a drink like this indicates that their organization is truly a force to be reckoned with. There might also be an intricate influence behind it..." X
