140 Alex and Alice
*TAUNTING comes before this chapter. **
They walked to the bed and stood beside Madam Chen. The person stared fervently at Madam Chen’s
face for a long while before they cleared the bedside wardrobe and sat on it while staring at the
sleeping woman.
Some time passed and for some reason, Madam Chen opened her eyes only to see a shadow looming
above her. She instinctively wanted to scream but her voice couldn’t be heard.
“Hi, long time no see, Bella.”
Madam Chen froze when she heard her name. She looked at the person in front of her, she was
wearing a mask and when she removed it, she got the biggest shock of her life.
‘Alice?! How is that possible? They attended her funeral!
“Don’t worry, I’m not who you think I am. I’m not Alice, but Alex. Does that ring a bell? Probably not.”
That’s right, Alex doesn’t ring a bell. Is she Alice’s twin?
“That’s right. I’m Alice’s twin sister, Rossa’s mother!”
Madam Chen’s eyes widened in horror. Of course, she knew who Rossa was.
When her husband, Wales Chen married Alice Lee, she gave birth to a girl and Madam Chen paid a
nurse to kill the child because she didn’t want her husband to have another child with another
woman.
However, when Alice was discharged, she came home bearing a newborn baby. It was later said that
Alice gave birth to twins. One died and the other survived.
Madam Chen was skeptical because she was very sure that Alice didn’t give birth to twins. The nurse
said so. However, there was no report of another woman giving birth in that hospital a week before and
after Alice gave birth… weird, right?
The hospital only recorded one birth a week before and after Alice’s child was born.
The child’s naming, Alice decided to name the dead child Rossa Lee, while the one she brought home
was called Jeslyn. However, at a point, especially when Jeslyn was young, Alice used to call Jeslyn
Rossa.
Bella got confused as to why Alice would call her child Jeslyn and Rossa. As her Assistant and best
friend, she had asked Alice a couple of times but she wouldn’t give her a definite answer.
“I like the name, it reminds me of Rose, and rose is for love… isn’t love depicted with a heart symbol?”
That explanation was weird, so Bella took it as; Alice doesn’t want to tell her why.
The most surprising thing about it all was that, in the Chen family’s record book, Alice wrote the two
children’s names. One was Rossa Lee and the other was Chen Jeslyn Lee.
Alice wouldn’t give an explanation why she made the names that way, so Chen Wales left the names
1. be.

So, what was this woman saying?
“After you killed my sister’s child, I happened to have also given birth at the same hospital as my twin
sister. What do you expect? You can’t find anything even though you searched because the hospital
was mine!
There were no birth records doesn’t mean there truly weren’t. However, that’s not the case. You didn’t
treat my daughter well even though she was harmless to you.
You and your husband cheated my sister out of her wealth, her trust, her love, and her child. Not only
that, you caused my father to die and made my daughter suffer.
Bella, how do you think I should punish you? Nah, asking for forgiveness is not a part of it. Your only
option is death, so how do you choose to die?
Let me make things clearer. I have here; a gun, a whip, poison, I can force your to commit suicide by
hanging, or I can burn your mansion down. Which do you choose? I give you 5 seconds before I
choose for you.”
Madam Chen widened her eyes in alarm. She tried so hard to say something but couldn’t. She started
to say something with her hands flinging around in panic as tears of remorse streamed down her
cheeks, yet Alex was unbothered.
“Times up. I know the pain of being separated from your child, so I’m sending you all off. Don’t worry,
Christine and Emilee, plus your husband will join you two after my daughter is done taking her revenge
on them.”
With that said, Alex pulled out a small bottle from her backpack and sprinkled the content around the
room. She walked to the window and before she could jump down, Alex lit a lighter and threw it into
the room.
Before the lighter touched the ground, the room had already caught fire.
A while later, Alex watched from afar how the whole Chen mansion got burnt to the ground. Some
servants made it out but no one took the child, Chi chi.
After the building was consumed by uncontrollable fire, Alex turned and walked away.
At the cemetery…
Alex used a key to unlock the doors while dodging the camera spots. She entered her family’s
columbarium.
Looking at the pictures, Alex sighed before bowing to Old Man Lee and Old Madam Lee.
“Dad, Mom, your prodigal daughter is back. I’m sorry for every pain I caused you, I’m sorry for the tears
you shed. I’m sorry for the heartbreak I caused you… I’m sorry for making you leave everything behind
and seek solace in this City. Mom, Dad, I’m very sorry. Sister…
”
Alex stared at Ms. Alice’s photo. A face that was 99.9 percent identical to hers.
“Where do I start from?”
“There were things I couldn’t say to your face in those years. Instead of admitting my wrong, I ended up
fighting you and being ungrateful. Despite how horrible I was to you, you never deserted me. I refused
to understand you even though I should have been the one shouldering your burdens.
I know I was a bad sister. I know I caused your death, I should have been the one who died, yet you
chose to die in my place. I thought I had good intentions, but what’s considered good intentions were
never really good, instead it drove you to your death. If only I had known this earlier…”
