Was that not enough to avoid danger?
Those people were really vicious. They could even bring themselves to harm a baby who was just a few months
old. What heartless creatures! Looking at her baby lying on the bed, who was just sleeping soundly, Alicia gritted
her teeth in rage! Leaning against her, he sat down as he looked at the silent child on the bed and handed her a
warm drink. "Are you scared?"
After taking the drink, Alicia leaned on him and gently snuggled up to him. She said, "Your weren't over-
worrying..."
He was right. Someone was eyeing their child! The Clements family was not as peaceful as it looked! Even if he
didn't start any conflicts, it didn't mean that others would let him go!
At that moment, Alicia was really glad that she could give birth to this healthy baby in peace!
If she was still in Casterwich City when she was pregnant, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although
she took extrcare, sthings were really complicated and sdisasters were impossible to prevent.
She trusted Victoria, which was why she let her take care of the child. She just didn't expect someone to even
have plotted against her. The viciousness was clear as day.
Having thought of something, Alicia glanced back at Frederick and held his big palm which was placed in front of
her.
"| was the one who asked Victoria to hold the child for a while! Just now, | didn't lie just to ease the atmosphere. |
really saw someone deliberately tripping her. At that moment, my gaze was directed downward and | saw
someone doing that. | didn't expect that the person they tripped was Victoria, who was carrying Clinton. Looking
up, | was also shocked. It was very chaotic at that time. Everyone was running around. | can't be sure who it
was!"
When she thought about it, a chill ran though Alicia's body, and she unconsciously shivered. She really didn't
even dare to imagine what would have happened to Clinton if he was dropped to the ground, considering broken
glass were scattered on the floor, and everyone was running around in chaos. If Clinton didn't lose his life from
the fall, he would definitely be trampled to death!
Her lips trembled. Alicia gulped before saying, "Fortunately, she was holding on tight, and thank goodness Beth
was standing behind her and helped her. She's really innocent! Don't get into a
fight with Trevor because of this!"

At that point, Alicia shivered again. The consequences of the matter were too serious!
If Trevor and Frederick had a conflict, the situation of the Clements family would be greatly changed, and the four
great masters of Casterwich City would have to choose a side to stand on. When the tcame, it would be
really a big mess.
Leaning against him, for the first time, Alicia felt like she was freezing.
Frederick held her tightly, lowered his head, and kissed her hair. "I know, | won't!"
Beth was a professional bodyguard. He had deliberately transferred that pair of sisters to protect Alicia and
Clinton!
What he had done before was just a precautionary measure, yet someone actually dared to hurt Clinton so
openly and even used Victoria. Whoever it was seriously had sguts, wanting to create trouble at his place!
Not to mention Frederick would not let it go, Trevor would not easily spare the culprit either!
"This will be resolved soon! Our baby will be fine!"
"Yes..." She wouldn't want to bring the child out from then on! It was too scary!
The two of them whispered to each other, and Alicia made a decision in her heart. Before the baby learned to
walk and speak, she had to reduce the chances of Clinton being in danger. It was impossible to prevent
unwanted things from happening when there were too many people around. With just that single incident, she
was already scared out of her wits.
Her child had to grow up well!
Meanwhile, Victoria was even more triggered. She was wracked with sobs the whole way home. Trevor helped
her as they entered the house, and went upstairs. As soon as he let go of her, she was so choked up on her sobs
she nearly fell to the ground. "Be careful..."
She grabbed his arm, and Victoria's legs were still limped. In an instant, she burst into tears and said, "Hubby, |
really wasn't being careless. Someone really did bump into me. I'm no evil woman..."
"I know, | know! I've always trusted you!"
Considering that it was the very first
thing she said from earlier as well, Trevor felt even more distressed. She must have been framed and used by
someone. He could obviously sense how weak her body was. He raised his arms, carried her up, and brought her
to the sofa. As he bent over to take off her shoes and lifted up her dainty foot, a small, clear indent on the shoe
surface cinto his sight. His gaze traced the silver high-heeled shoes she was wearing and he saw blood
stains on her ankle, which even seemed to be swollen.
"Are you injured?"
Why didn't she say anything even after walking so much? It was a lot of blood, wasn't it painful? When he
thought of her leg injury and saw the obvious swelling and redness, Trevor's face turned pale in an instant.
"Huh?"
As she was sobbing earlier, Victoria did not feel anything at all. As soon as she looked down, only did she realize
that her leg and feet were injured. Trevor took off her shoes and pressed hard on the red and swollen area. She
clearly felt the pain and could not help but sniffling.
"ow..."
"This won't do, you have to go to the hospital and get it checked!" If her old illness relapsed, it would be
troublesif it wasn't dealt with immediately.
D*mn it, someone had used her and even hurt her!
"I'm fine, there's no need!"
Victoria looked down and saw that
her skin had been scratched by the shoe buckle. She didn't take it seriously. After all, it was common for that to
happen when one was wearing heels. A band-aid could easily solve the problem. She figured that it might have
happened as she was in a rush to hold the child tightly when she was bumped into. She tilted her body to save
herself and instinctively wanted to protect the child in front of her. When she fell down, she used her body as a
shield. She might have used too much strength and ended up being scratched by her shoe. That little bit
of blood and pain was really nothing to take to heart.
However, what worried Trevor more was the obvious redness and swelling at her ankle. Without any explanation,
he had already carried her up.
In the emergency room of the hospital, a checkup was done along with scritical treatment. They made sure
that it was only a slight sprain and that the scar from the old injury was not affected much. Trevor was finally
relieved, accompanied her as she had the recovery ointment put on, and carried her to go home.

After getting in the car, after going through all the commotions, Victoria had calmed down a lot. She held his
hand forcefully and placed it on her cheek. Then, she gave it a big kiss.
"Sorry, you can't even have a break on New Year's Eve..."
How unlucky it was to have something like that happen on such a festive occasion! Victoria kept feeling that it
was going to be a rather bad year for her!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" It was not even her fault!
He raised his hand and pinched her little face. He could pretty much guess what she was thinking. Trevor smiled.
"As long as nothing happened, it's fine! The New Year hasn't cyet! It's a new year, and everything will be
better! Alicia and Frederick are reasonable people. I'll investigate this matter, and | won't let you feel wronged!"
Fortunately, Clinton hadn't cried at that time, and he was fine as well!
Otherwise, even if it was not her responsibility, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no estrangement
between them. After all, Clinton was a small, precious life!
Thinking of that, hatred and anger
surged in Treyor's heart at the stime. At first he had even thought that Frederick's judgement was
being clouded by his selfishnessnet
Although he was a little biased and not really close to Mason, he was stil his cousin and should not be involved in
the matter. Right then, however, Trevor's mindset was completely reversed.
Even he had beca target! There was no need for him to avoid getting revenge just for the sake of their
familial ties anymore!
D*mn it!
The Clements family's rules had been made in vain! Sure enough, getting married for life was right! The more
complicated the family was, the more troubles would cone after another. What happened with Lamar wasn't
even exactly due to conflict of interest, but they actually plotted so many things, and to that extreme!
At that moment, Trevor was feeling unjust for Frederick again!
It should have been his!
