Chapter 310 Suspicion (1)
Avery held Alice's hand. "No matter what, you'll always be Mrs. Howard, got it?"
Alice nodded. "Got it."
Avery added, "And don't lose that token Adrian gave you."
Alice replied, "Don't worry, Mom. I always keep it safe and take it with me every time I visit the Howard family."
Avery said, "Good."
Saturday, Howard family dinner.
Donte was heading to the Howard Group's York City branch tomorrow, so everyone was here tonight. Even Daniel, who’s usually late, showed up early, and Jamie made it back too.
It was rare for the whole family to gather.
Ruben was pleased. "Let's have a drink."
Melissa reminded, "Dad, take it easy. The doctor advised you to drink less."
Ruben smiled. "I know my limits. In a few months, I'll be holding my great-grandson. I've been looking forward to it, taking care of myself and waiting."
Alice felt a flash of panic but smiled, feeling uneasy inside.
The Howard family valued her baby so much. If it wasn't Adrian's, she'd be in big trouble.
Claire smiled gently. "Alice, have you been taking the supplements I prepared for you?"
Alice replied, "Yes, Aunt Claire. Don't worry. The recent checkups have been good."
Melissa said, "Adrian, don't be too busy with work. Spend more time with Alice."
Adrian smiled faintly. "Aunt, we haven't finalized the Snow Group acquisition yet. I've got a lot on my plate."
Ruben nodded. "The Snow Group is tricky. Be careful, Adrian."
Adrian nodded.
Donte raised an eyebrow. He knew about the Snow Group situation, but Ruben had given it to Adrian.
Donte couldn't interfere.
Jamie frowned slightly. "The Newman Group got hold of the Snow Group's internal agreement. Cynthia Mitchell, the current VP of Newman Group who left Snow Group, exposed their fake jewelry scandal. They're ready to merge with Snow Group."
Adrian looked at Jamie. "Cynthia worked with you, and..." He trailed off.
Jamie smiled slightly, a bit mocking. "Adrian, are you saying Cynthia pursued me?"
Adrian took a sip of wine. "I didn't say that."
Sensing the tension, Melissa quickly said, "Alright, let's not talk about work. We're here to eat. Adrian, have some more. Jamie, stay a few more days this time, don't leave so soon like Donte."
Jamie smiled faintly. "Okay."
He planned to stay a bit longer.
Natalie got home early in the evening. Rosalie hadn't gone to bed yet. Seeing Natalie, she got up. "I made a late-night snack for you. Let me heat it up."
Natalie changed, took a shower, and went to the living room. She sat on the sofa and noticed Rosalie's phone with an ad featuring Alice on the screen. She picked it up and looked at Alice's ad.
