“Why should we not pursue this further? Do you not care about this matter, or…” Daniel questioned
Alice callously while being suspicious of her.
Alice’s lips pursed as she saw the expression on Daniel’s face, feeling the urge to curse at him. “Was
Daniel suspicious of her plotting against him and making the children tie the drawstring on her wrist?
Urgh! He was overthinking it!” she thought. Alice untied the knot on her wrist and rested her hands
under her head. She pursed her lips and kept her composure as she spoke, “I am not pursuing it
because I did not plot against you, and I do not want to see you abusing the three children anymore. As
for my nonchalance… I’m an actress. This is not worth mentioning compared to the countless intimate
scenes I have done. I am not bothered about it at all!”
“Do you film intimate scenes often?” Daniel questioned as his face turned grim.
“Not that often, just occasionally in one or two dramas… I’m just…” Alice threaded carefully while
avoiding his gaze. “All I wanted to do was to explain why I do not need you to claim responsibility for
this level of intimacy. I have no ulterior motives towards you either!”
“Moreover, Daniel is a much lower earner than me. Even if there were ulterior motives, Daniel should
have been the one plotting against me!” Alice thought.
At this moment, Daniel became even more solemn.
“Da mn it, you b itch! Who permitted you to do intimate scenes? Also, what made you think you are free
from having emotional ties with me?” Daniel thought angrily.
Seeing Daniel becoming increasingly annoyed, Alice lightly coughed and quickly changed the topic to
lighten the mood, “Daniel, what time do you start work today? What would you like for breakfast? I’ll go
prepare.”
“You are all I want for breakfast,” Daniel thought as he could not contain his desires for her.

Just as Daniel was about to get even more intimidating, Alice’s phone suddenly rang at the appropriate
moment.
It was a call from Travis Richards’ secretary.
Alice looked at the number with a frown, glanced at Daniel, and then took a deep breath to compose
herself. She answered the call and responded, “Hello, Wendy.”
“Mr. Richards told me to inform you that he won’t blacklist you for now… But that doesn’t mean he has
stopped liking you! In fact, he will continue pursuing you whenever you get a divorce,” said Wendy on
the other end of the line.
“Yes! Aren’t you happy? Alice, I must admit, you are quite an Freddie!” Wendy sneered on the other
end of the line.
Alice was surprised and responded, “Mr. Richards won’t blacklist me anymore?”

Alice stared at her phone in a daze for a few moments. “What was going on with Freddie? She had not
contacted him at all!” she thought.
By then, Daniel had already gotten up and stood at the side of the bedroom, tidying his robe.
Alice ended the call and got off the bed. As she headed to the kitchen, she called Candice and asked
her friend, “Hey, Candice, did you know about me not being blacklisted anymore?”
“I’ve already celebrated the great news this morning with two glasses of milk! I heard that Freddie, the
CEO, personally arranged it. He said he admires you, and anyone who dares to blacklist you is going
against him!” Candice responded elatedly.
“Oh, is that so?” Alice replied and found it somewhat unbelievable. Alice did not know Freddie
personally. There was no reason for him to express his admiration for her in such a way.
“That’s right, that’s what I heard…” Candice chuckled. “Alice, I’m genuinely happy for you!” Candice
loved being by Alice’s side. She genuinely feared that Alice would be blacklisted.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief. “But why would Freddie help me?” Alice asked.
“Maybe he wants to use you as a smoke bomb,” Candice casually remarked.
With this comment in mind, Alice thought about the gossip she knew. She walked out of the kitchen and
saw Daniel, who had changed out of his pajamas by then.
“Well, it’s possible. After all, Freddie has been obsessed with the CEO of the Kaur family for many
years. He needs a smoke bomb to be accepted by society,” Alice thought.
The CEO in question froze momentarily and looked at his wife with suspicion.

“How did Freddie become infatuated with Daniel?” Alice thought.
