She wanted to achieve her goal step by step, but in the end, she lost her goal.
On the wedding night, Jonathan hit her. From that very moment, Alice had already forgotten how proud
she had been, and her self-esteem had been completely shattered.
But Alice didn't blame Jonathan. Maybe at the moment when she was beaten, she hated Jonathan, but
after that, she didn't hate him so much.
She couldn't tell why, but now Alice could recognize herself more clearly. She had despised people
around her before.
Now, Alice had found her place. Jonathan let out a sigh.
"Jacob and I were born enemies of each other. We have a grudge against each other since we were
little. In others' eyes, he was born with a crown. And I was always regarded as an idler. "
Jonathan said coldly without any expression on his face, but there was a hint of pain hid between his
eyebrows.
Yes, he had been competing with Jacob for so many years. But her efforts were always ignored.
People thought he was just a mediocre man.
Perhaps some people could only be regarded as a foil. After so many years being a foil, Jonathan was
still drowned in the crowd.
"But now, I know what he wants to do. He wants to destroy me. Jacob resigned on purpose. I should
know he was up to something to against me. Now, he is making moves. "
Jonathan lowered his head, half of the cigarette in his hand had burned to ashes. Alice just listened
quietly without saying a word.
Because she didn't care about what he said at all.
"Is it painful to be with me, Alice?" Jonathan looked at Alice with his head tilted to one side and fixed
his eyes on Alice.
Alice didn't show any expression on her face. She just looked at Jonathan for a while and said two
words.
"Not really." Alice said indifferently, and she was not lying.
Since Alice left Jacob, she always felt pain and her heart ache. Even if now she was with Jonathan, the
pain she felt did not change a bit.
"Really? I thought you were in pain. To be honest, I never thought that I would get married. I'm used to
being free, especially compared with Jacob, I'm just a playboy. "
Jonathan let out a sigh of relief and calmed down a lot.
It was wrong for Jonathan to hit Alice, but when he lost his temper, he couldn't control himself.
After that, Jonathan would feel more relaxed. Perhaps it was Jonathan's nature, because sometimes
he even felt that he was a little cold-blooded.
"Forget it. I'm tired. Go to bed early today."
Alice stood up and walked past Jonathan. Her back looked so desolate as if she didn't even have any
feelings for Jonathan.
"Alice." Jonathan gently called her name, and Alice stopped.
Alice thought that Jonathan was a hopeless case, but at this time, she changed her views. Maybe
Jonathan was not that worse. At least, Jonathan was reasonable.
Alice had changed a lot to the people around her recently. In the past, she had been paranoid and
thought that something would not change forever. But today, she suddenly found that many things
seemed to be different.
Many things were not what they looked like, and they could be re-defined.
Including her connection with Jonathan, Jacob, Thompson and Sara. They entangled together because
of fate.
Alice stopped and she heard Jonathan continued, "I'm sorry. I got impulsive."
Alice's body and legs were stiffened. Then she turned around, reached out to tidy her hair and looked
at Jonathan with a bright smile.
"It doesn't matter."
After uttering these words gently, Alice went back to her room. Sometimes, saying that it didn't matter
didn't mean that she really forgave him. But now, Alice was relieved.
Jonathan let out a heavy sigh and was obsessed with Alice's back.
If they had met at the right time and in the right place, he and Alice might have different story.
But now, there was no way back for Jonathan. He had no way back since he married Alice.
Perhaps Jonathan had already regretted when he raised his hand to hit Alice. If they got married just to
hurt each other, then there was no need for them to be together anymore.
Jonathan sat on the sofa for a while until he knocked his head remorsefully. His life was really a mess.
Would he really ruin the Shi Group?
And the other reason that he ruin the company was Jacob, the former president. Jonathan felt
uncomfortable. He couldn't tell why. He just couldn't accept the current situation.
Was that true that only Jacob the most suitable leader to run the Shi Group? Jonathan didn't believe in
fate, nor did he believe the destiny.
But Jonathan would never have luck. Jonathan bent down.
Looking up at the lights in Alice's room, he guessed that Alice must be very painful these days.
Although she didn't say anything about it, Jonathan knew it.
His personality had been fixed and could not be changed in a short time. Besides, Alice wouldn't give
his time.
The more Jonathan thought about it, the sadder he felt. His life was really a mess. He could no longer
go back.
Only then did he realize that what he had before was bless. It was he who insisted on taking that wrong
step, and ended up in the dead-end.
Sitting on the bed, Alice was also surprised why she said it doesn't matter just now. She had been very
painful, but she didn't want to blame Jonathan.
After all, today, Alice finally found that what she was suffering was caused by herself. Her life was a
mess. Lying on the bed in frustration, Alice stared at the ceiling blankly.
In a high-end hotel, a simple party for enterprises was held here. Jacob held Sara's hand and entered
the party.
Sara wore a white evening dress, which fitted her well, revealing her white and slender arms. She was
the most eye-catching woman in the party tonight.
Without comparison, she had won most woman with just a light makeup. Holding Sara's hand, Jacob
saw Joshua standing not far away.
In the past, Jacob would not show up with Sara on such an occasion. Now, Jacob wanted to take Sara
with him all the time.
On the one hand, he wanted to declare their relationship, which was that Sara was the CEO and he
was just the vice president. How could the vice president go out to attend a banquet without the CEO?
Of course, Jacob knew that it was his own sophistry.
Holding Sara's arm, Jacob stood in front of Joshua. Joshua had seen Jacob for the beginning, but he
had been quietly observing Jacob and Sara.
"Mr. Joshua, why did you come so early?" Jacob knew what to do and he put on a polite smile. He was
clever in dealing with people in such occasion.
