Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2414

Alicia walked past the Chung family's enormous courtyard, then went through a bamboo forest. After about 15 minutes, she finally arrived at a restricted wooden house. A middle-aged man in his fifties was guarding the wooden house's entrance. He seemed surprised to see her.

"Miss Alicia! Why are you here?"

She nodded to the man and said, "Hugh, is Grandpa free to talk? I have something to tell him."

"Miss Alicia, Old Master is meditating and cultivating. I'm afraid it will take another hour before he completes this round of cultivation," he replied.

"An hour! I..." She grew anxious.

Upon seeing her response, he asked, "Miss Alicia, is there something urgent?"

"It's not something urgent, but..." She hesitated and finally said, "Hugh, I will wait for Grandpa to finish his cultivation!"

"Sure! Miss Alicia, sit here, please!" Hugh brought over a bamboo chair and handed it to her.

Alicia sat down and waited, anxious and furious.

An hour's wait was truly a torture for her.

Finally, when she almost ran out of patience, a gust of energy wafted out of the house.

She and Hugh stood up together in an instant and turned to look at the wooden house.

"Old Master has finished his cultivation!" Hugh exclaimed.

She rushed towards the wooden house impatiently. "Grandpa, I'm Alicia. I have something to tell you. I'm coming in."

She pushed the door open and stepped inside. The wooden house was tiny, and there were not many items inside. Saxen only kept some basic daily necessities in the house.

However, all of the items in the house were exquisite. Alicia could sense the strong spiritual energy in the room. It was definitely the best place for cultivation.

At this moment, a slender elder with white hair sat cross-legged on a floor futon in the middle of the room. He was Saxen, the head of the Chung family. "Alicia, why are you here?" Saxen looked at her with a pleasantly surprised expression on his face.

She rushed over and said in a hurry, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you. It's urgent."

"What is it? What made you so anxious?" Saxen gently smiled and asked.

She immediately told him what had happened, "Grandpa, here is the thing..."

Saxen's face darkened, and he fell into deep thought.

Noticing his response, she said anxiously, "Grandpa, Fade is truly powerful. There is definitely no harm in recruiting him into our family. In fact, it will benefit us."

"But now, after Uncle and Aunt messed up our plans, not only did we fail to recruit Fade, but we also left a bad impression on him."

Saxen glanced at the anxious Alicia and said, "If Fade is truly an excellent man like you described, it would be good to recruit him into our family."

"Grandpa, it's definitely true. Now, you're the only one who can persuade Fade to come back. We'll..." She eagerly tugged at his arm, urging him to make a move.

However, he did not intend to get up. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "However, your Uncle's consideration is reasonable."

"Fade killed Jerzy and offended the Yuwen family. If our family accepts him, it means that we will become enemies with the Yuwen family."

"But Grandpa..." She was about to explain.

However, he shook his head and interrupted her. "It has already happened. Your Uncle has already made a decision. He is an elder. It's not good for you to question him like this." "Grandpa, I didn't question him. I just..." She hurriedly defended herself.

However, Saxen changed the topic once again. "This thing ends here, Alicia!"

"By the way, Jerzy is dead, so we have to reconsider your engagement. Otherwise, our family might not be able to handle the affairs of the Beauties Hall in the inner island." Alicia's face fell when he mentioned her engagement.

Originally, she had been engaged to Jerzy to avoid being chosen to enter the Beauties Hall. However, now that Jerzy was dead, her engagement had been nullified. Therefore, she had to find a suitable partneras soon as possible.

She grew agitated at the thought of this.

"Alright. I still have to cultivate. You should go back!" He instructed.

She walked out of the wooden house in a daze. At that moment, she felt that Saxen, who had always doted on her, acted a little differently this time.

As she returned to the living room in disappointment, she bumped into Howell.

Upon noticing the frown on her face, he immediately chuckled. "Alicia, why are you like this? Didn't Grandpa support your ideas?"

"Mind your own business, Howell!" She glared at him hatefully.

He flashed her a grin and said, "Alicia, I don't care about your business, but you have to care about your own matter, don't you?" "My own matter. What is it?" She frowned as she stared at him.

Howell chuckled lightly and then replied, "Not long ago, Uncle and Jarvis went to the Yuwen family together."

"They explained to the Yuwen family about Fade and said that he has nothing to do with our family."

"They... How can they do this? They are basically hinting at the Yuwen family that they may attack Fade!" She grew worried.

His expression seemed indifferent as he continued, "Apart from Fade's matter, Uncle also talked to the Yuwen family about your engagement with Jerzy."

"My engagement!" Her expression instantly turned pale after hearing that.

He laughed and narrowed his eyes, then said Jerzy is dead. However, Uncle has negotiated with the Yuwen family, and they decided not to annul the engagement and continue the marriage."

"Of course, your partner can't be Jerzy anymore. I heard that the Yuwen family has decided to change your fiance to Jaston."

"Jaston! What? He... That's impossible! I will never marry him!" Alicia's face fell when she heard the name, and she waved her hand hastily and shrieked. However, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Alicia, I heard that Uncle has already agreed."

"No! I don't agree. I will never agree to this marriage," she said through gritted teeth.

"Alicia, the matter of marriage is decided upon our parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. The elders have already decided. Thus, the result will be the same whether you agree or not." Howell stood up and looked at her.

"I don't care. I won't marry Jaston," she hissed.

He narrowed his eyes and grinned. "Alicia, if you don't want to marry Jaston, do you want to marry that old man from Beauties Hall and be his concubine?"

Her face blanched upon hearing his words. She could no longer bear it. Her body swayed weakly and she collapsed to the ground.

Silent tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Alicia, marry Jaston or marry into the Beauties Hall. You may decide on your own! Haha!" Howell said, glaring at Alicia as she laid motionless on the ground. Then, he swung his sleeves and left with his hands behind his back.
