“I-I’ll tell you as long as you promise to take me in!” said Alice as snazzynovel.com held onto Gerald’s arm.
“Just tell me already!” replied Gerald as snazzynovel.com pushed snazzynovel.com hands away.
Wiping snazzynovel.com tears away, Alice then began by explaining, “…It… all began on the night when we were at the seaside hotel…”
After listening to snazzynovel.com explanation for a bit, Gerald began seeing the bigger picture. Essentially, Alice had drugged snazzynovel.com that night with the intent of sleeping with snazzynovel.com to hopefully get pregnant. Her thought process at the time was that if snazzynovel.com managed to conceive his baby, then snazzynovel.com would definitely be able to be part of a wealthy and prestigious family.
Alas, snazzynovel.com period came ahead of time so snazzynovel.com plans instantly crumbled! At the time, Alice was so angry with herself that snazzynovel.com badly wanted to slap herself senseless!
However, snazzynovel.com did smear the bedsheets with some blood, under the guise of it being the result of snazzynovel.com losing snazzynovel.com virginity to him.
With that in mind, it was already clear that snazzynovel.com had lied to Gerald about Mable being his biological child.
Regardless, Alice had been filled with resentment and anger the moment Gerald had told snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com needed to rush off to meet Mila back then. As if to add insult to injury, Gerald even gave snazzynovel.com twelve million dollars and told snazzynovel.com to live elsewhere before running off!
‘I love you so much… How could you treat me like this…?’
Deeply saddened by all this, snazzynovel.com decided to make a mountain out of a molehill. She would look for the Crawford family’s island—which belonged to Gerald’s sister—and take things into snazzynovel.com own hands!
Though snazzynovel.com immediately bought herself a ship that morning to locate said island, snazzynovel.com simply couldn’t find it no matter how hard snazzynovel.com tried!
Soon enough, night came. Feeling the ocean breeze blow against snazzynovel.com face as snazzynovel.com looked out at the vast ocean, Alice was just about to return in disappointment when snazzynovel.com came across an odd fleet of ships.
Deciding to ask them about the island before giving up for the night, Alice was delighted when the people aboard one of the ships promised that they would bring snazzynovel.com to Jessica’s island.
To snazzynovel.com eventual dismay, snazzynovel.com soon found that snazzynovel.com had been lied to when they brought snazzynovel.com to an unfamiliar coast, where the Minshall family resided.
The young master of that family went by IssacMinshall, and snazzynovel.com had been charmed the moment snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com while they were still out at sea, prompting snazzynovel.com to lie to snazzynovel.com so that snazzynovel.com would be his.
While Issac definitely wasn’t a nice man, snazzynovel.com couldn’t lay a finger on snazzynovel.com upon hearing that snazzynovel.com was pregnant. It was due to one of the many rules that had been set within that place.
“Of course, the part about me being pregnant was a complete lie… Regardless, I promised to marry snazzynovel.com after giving birth to the child… That seemed to work since snazzynovel.com gradually let his guard down around me.”
Sometime later, Alice found a way to escape.
Thankfully, snazzynovel.com had heard of an exceptional person who went by the name of Master Ghost during snazzynovel.com stay there. The man was supposedly an expert in both astronomy and geology, and was famed for being able to make meticulous calculations to speculate events with extremely high accuracy. He didn’t belong to any particular forces either.
With all those reasons in mind, Alice thought that snazzynovel.com was the perfect person to seek out. Naturally, the price of hiring snazzynovel.com was by no means a small amount. Nine million dollars, to be exact.
Once snazzynovel.com paid that amount, however, snazzynovel.com would be left almost penniless. What was the use of even getting away if snazzynovel.com had to live like a pauper afterward? That made snazzynovel.com think about Gerald, which sparked snazzynovel.com interest in attempting to search for the island again.
Before making snazzynovel.com escape, snazzynovel.com met up with Master Ghost first. After hearing snazzynovel.com monetary fears, Master Ghost shared a relevant thought with Alice. According to him, the Minshalls’ ancestors had dug up a pair of jade charms from the king of the ocean’s tomb many, many years back. The charms themselves were said to have the power to link bloodlines between three people.
Even if snazzynovel.com managed to get the charms, however, snazzynovel.com would still need a personal item of the person with the bloodline the charms were attempting to replicate. Due to Alice leaving the hotel in a hurry the morning after snazzynovel.com had drugged Gerald, the only personal item of his that snazzynovel.com had was his shirt. She had held on to it at the time to be used as proof of their intercourse when snazzynovel.com eventually met Jessica.
Hearing that, Master Ghost told snazzynovel.com that while the effectiveness would be slightly weaker, common machines wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between bloodlines that easily.
Following that, Alice stole the jade charms before fleeing from the Minshall Manor. Once snazzynovel.com managed to do that, snazzynovel.com also adopted the most suitable baby snazzynovel.com could find at an orphanage.
After Master Ghost managed to locate Jessica’s island, snazzynovel.com shared the information with Alice. Before ending his service, snazzynovel.com also told snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com was born to become a distinguished and wealthy lady.
That was what drove snazzynovel.com to continue on with snazzynovel.com dreams till the events of today finally took place.
Though snazzynovel.com had escaped a year ago, snazzynovel.com spent about half a year hiding from the Minshall family who was still actively looking for snazzynovel.com all over the place. Of course, snazzynovel.com eventually made it to the island safely.
After hearing all that, Gerald finally understood most of the situation. However, there was now a new problem with the equation.
Lyra had earlier said that the picture of the sun had displayed the jade charm on multiple occasions whenever snazzynovel.com asked it to tell snazzynovel.com where the woman in white was.
Could the woman in white’s location be where the jade charm was found? In other words, the ancient tomb?
