Chapter 596 Conversation
This was a clip of Alice and Carlos. The later was the butler's child from the Howard family.
If this video leaked, it could fetch a ton of cash.
But Karen wasn't after money; she wanted power at Dynamic Entertainment Media.
Karen always figured this video would come in handy someday. She didn't think she'd need it this soon.
She stashed the video safely. Looked like it was time for a chat with Natalie.
This time, Karen was sure Natalie wouldn't say no.
Mindy was too chicken to mess with Alice, but Karen had the guts. If this video got out, Alice's chances of marrying into the Howard family would be screwed, and Adrian wouldn't have her back anymore.
And it wouldn't hurt Karen a bit.
Over at the Howard family, Claire hadn't been feeling great lately. Early in the morning, she hit up the church to pray and catch the choir.
She didn't get back until the afternoon.
The maid made some afternoon coffee for Claire. "Mrs. Howard, have a bite."
Claire asked, "Where's Ruben?"
The maid replied, "Mr. Adrian Howard is back. He's upstairs. Mr. Ruben Howard just woke up from his nap, and they're both in the study."
Claire took a sip of coffee, her eyes lighting up. "Adrian's back?"
The maid grinned, "He just got back ten minutes ago."
Claire said, "I haven't seen him for days. He still remembers to come back."
The maid added, "Ms. Cullen called earlier and said she made some desserts. She'll be bringing them over soon. She should be on her way now, almost here."
Claire put down her coffee. "What's on Adrian's mind? He's already agreed to the engagement with Alice, but the date's still not set. My health's getting worse, and I just want to hold a grandkid soon."
The maid said, "It's only a matter of time, Mrs. Howard. Don't worry."
As the maid was talking, the doorbell rang, and Renee and Alice showed up at the door. Well, Alice was in a wheelchair, and Renee was pushing her.
Alice had a box of desserts on her lap. "Aunt Claire, I heard you haven't been feeling well lately, so I made some desserts for you to try."
Claire smiled at Alice and glanced at her legs. "How are you feeling? Much better?"
Alice said, "I'm okay. Thanks for asking, Aunt Claire. I just saw Adrian's car outside. Is he back?"
Claire said, "You two must have some kind of telepathic connection. Adrian just got back ten minutes ago, and here you are. He's in the study upstairs."
Alice looked up towards the study. "Aunt Claire, I made these desserts myself. Please try them and let me know what you think." She had the maid make them, and they were top-notch.
Claire loved the taste of the desserts. She really enjoyed this kind of treat, which was rare to find so delicious around here. "Alice, your cooking is getting better and better."
Alice said sweetly, "Aunt Claire, if you like them, I'll bring more tomorrow."
Claire said, "Of course I like them. I'm just worried about your health. You've just recovered and made these desserts for me. Don't tire yourself out. Rest well and recover quickly, so I can hold a grandkid soon."
