Chapter 39
By this time, the salesperson had already received a call from management and understood that Alice
was not just any random person. She bowed to Alice, putting a simpering smile on her face.
Interrupting Alice’s confusion, the salesperson said, “Miss Doyle, the mall is now cleared and ready for
you. Is there anything else you need? How about I show you and your children around?”
Alice shook off her befuddlement. Taking in the sight of expectant enthusiasm in the children, she
smiled and nodded. “Yes, thank you.”
Drake and his wife watched silently as the salespeople surrounded Alice, their faces mirrored in
disbelief.
They wanted to go up to Alice and ask her questions, but security guards had arrived to chase them
away.
As the pregnant lady walked past the glass doors of the counter, she could not help but turn to glare
fiercely one last time
at Alice.
“That bi tch must have sold herself in exchange for money!” she said disdainfully.
“But Mr. Kaur does not like actresses.” Drake did not understand the situation now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Even if Mr. Kaur doesn’t like the type, some of his friends do, don’t they? No matter what, Alice is not
as good as she appears to be.”
“Yes, love. Why don’t we go to the parking lot and wait for Mr. Kaur? We cannot let him harbor any
misgivings against us based on what happened today.”
“Sure!”
Alice had bought four sets of bedsheets needed for the children’s rooms when she passed by the
section for adults. She saw a cobalt blue bedsheet with flower prints on it.
It was made of silk, and the flower prints did not look tacky. From afar, it looked luxurious.
The color suited Daniel very well.
She recalled that the bedsheet in his room was a freebie from sponsors. Alice felt that she should
change a new set for him.
It is true that once a woman marries, her attention and focus would switch to her family members.
Alice calculated her expenditure and decided to buy the bedsheet for Daniel.
She went ahead and paid for the bedsheet worth two thousand and four hundred dollars without any
qualms.
At the same time, in a private lift in the mall, Lillian West, Daniel’s secretary, glanced at a message sent
by the staff.
She reported to Daniel, “Mr. Kaur, Miss Doyle has been spending a lot of money. She has bought four
sets of bedsheets, none of which was less than a thousand dollars.”
Lillian had seen how Daniel had arranged everything for Alice and guessed that Daniel was fond of her.
In her eyes, the women in Hollywood were all materialistic.
Thus, as Daniel’s secretary, she felt it was her responsibility to inform Daniel of Alice’s excessive
extravagance when it came to spending his money.
Daniel heard what she said. His face clouded with displeasure.
Lillian noticed his reaction and understood that she had overstepped the boundaries. She lowered her
head and apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Kaur. I shouldn’t have said anything.”
Daniel said, “Has the chauffeur arrived yet?”
“He has arrived.” Lillian hesitated and asked, “Mr. Kaur, aren’t you going over to take a look?”
He had already cleared the mall. Did he not want to accompany Alice to do some shopping?
Daniel shook his head. “There is no need. Let’s head back to the office.”
When Daniel arrived in the parking lot, Drake and his wife went up to pester him.
However, they were dealt with swiftly by the security guards from the Kaur family. They had no
opportunity to get close to Daniel at all.
A short distance away, Theo stumbled upon the scene. He had received a call from Alice and had

carry her purchases. He picked up his phone and took a picture of the back of Daniel and posted it on
Instagram.

[I saw the back of Mr. Kaur! He is more than handsome!]
Twenty minutes later, Alice pushed the spoils of her shopping and, with the children, arrived at the
entrance of the mall.
“Oh wow! Alice, you must have spent thousands of dollars!” Theo took a look at the purchases and
exclaimed.
Alice replied, “Not even twenty thousand dollars!”
“They are just bedsheets. Do you think they are worth so much money?”
“I spent at least six hours lying in bed every day. If I don’t get the best quality, I’d feel sorry for myself!”
Theo was exasperated. He would much rather Alice spend all that money on facial products!
