BXBX NOVEL Chapter 398 Alicia's Schemes
Instead, his mind was currently beginning to think about the reason for the lady to come here. This was none other than the lady that had been looking at him during the final event of the youth congregation, the one that had been the suspect that Jack had found out.
"I had been planning to look for you, but I never expected that you were going to look for me first." Jack said indifferently as he began heading back into the house.
Currently, even though he didn\'t like the lady in front of him, he still had to understand what was going on first. After all, without getting an understanding, there was no way that he was going to solve all these problems.
The lady smiled when she realized that Jack had allowed her to enter the villa. And as she entered, she said, "I have already got a little impatient of waiting and looking at you from the side. Additionally, you have been hiding yourself inside of this villa, so I had no choice but to come and look for you."
As she said those words, she entered the villa, looking around curiously, like a child that had just discovered a new world. At the same time, the excitement in her eyes continuously increased, as she breathed in deeply, obviously trying to catch the scent present in the Villa.
Jack did not say anything, but instead, he went ahead and sat on the couch, and waited for her to come over as well. Since she had decided to come over, then she had to have a reason for doing so. And, that was the reason that Jack wanted to extract out of her.
After admiring the interior look of the villa, the lady looked at Jack and said, "This is the first time that I am experiencing something like this. I have always been held up in a house that possesses immense luxury products, rather than a simple villa like this one."
When Jack heard her words, he could not help but raise his brows. After all, currently, this villa was amongst the most expensive ones. Even though it was not the most expensive villa present in the country, it was currently worth several hundred million dollars.
But nonetheless, she was calling this villa simple. Even though it was true that it did not have much luxury items such as paintings and so on, but at least, it was not to be underestimated in terms of aesthetics.
At this moment, Jack could already begin getting the view of the lady\'s background. From what she was saying, it was obvious that she came from a big background.
But nonetheless, Jack did not believe that this could be the reason as to why Celine had been behaving so abnormally recently. There had to be another reason other than this one.
After she was done admiring her surroundings, she went ahead and sat opposite of Jack. After that, she began looking at him, without saying anything. It was as if she was admiring a master painting.
Even though he felt uncomfortable, Jack remained silent. He had just been planning to go ahead and look for the traces of this lady, but, since she had brought her self here, that was saving him much time of going around looking for her.
After about 30 minutes, the lady finally spoke. "You really are a patient person. I had been waiting for you to ask me for the reason as to why I came over, but surprisingly, you are still calm, not saying anything."
"Well, before I say anything else, let me introduce myself. I am Alicia. As for my origin and my surname, that is something that you can only know after you have agreed to my proposition today."
With an enchanting smile on her face, the lady continued, "I do believe that if you were going to look for me, that implies that you have already found out about something. And of course, true to your suspicions, I can say that I am involved in the collapse of the relationship between you and Celine."
As she said that, Alicia was expecting a big reaction from Jack, but she was surprised that, Jack did not say anything, but just continued staring at her.
The smile on her face did not fade away. Instead, she continued, "I have my own reasons for doing that. And I do believe that you are a loyal man, and you love her so much. For that reason, it must be painful for you to lose her. But, don\'t worry, there\'s nothing that I\'m going to do to her."
"The moment that I saw you, I knew that you are the one. For that reason, I have been observing you for almost 3 months now. During the first 2 months, I did nothing at all, just trying to ensure that what I felt was real."
"And after that, I was completely displeased by the public display of affection between you and Celine. And for that reason, I had to take action and ensure that the two of you cannot continue that way."
"But of course, I had to try and make sure that I knew much about you. I had to know about the skills that you possessed and so on. So, I organized for the youth congregation that was happening, to be more exciting."
Alicia leaned back on the couch as she continued, "So, I went to all the four countries that were supposed to participate, and made all of them agree to turn the event even more exciting by betting and a competition between the youths of both countries."
"As for you, I simply told Celine to come over and convince you to participate in the event. The reason behind this was simply because I wanted to see how much capable you are. But to say the truth, I\'m completely amazed by the capabilities that you possess."
"It is not only in terms of working from behind the scenes, but, even your combat capabilities are immense."
Alicia stopped. She looked at Jack, but she realized that he was not saying anything, but, he was just looking at her calmly. He didn\'t have even a hint of anger on his face.
Even though she did not understand why Jack was reacting in such a way, but still, she was happy that he was a calm person, able to take such a situation so easily.
When she came over, she had been expecting that Jack would be completely angered the moment that he realized that she was the one that was involved in the rift that had been formed between the love that existed between him and Celine.
But, all this while, other than the words that he had said at the door, he had not said anything else. Instead, he was simply listening to her.
Nodding her head in satisfaction, she continued, "After the competition, I was displeased by the fact that the two of you continued being together. For that reason, I instructed Celine to reduce the interaction between the two of you. But surprisingly, you never gave up on her."
"I\'m sure that had it been any other man, the girl that they had done a lot for, suddenly ignoring them, they would have already been angry at them. But, as expected of you, you already found out that there was something strange about your ex-girlfriend."
"And as I look at that laptop on the table, I can guess that you have been investigating about me during the moment that you have been inside this villa, not going anywhere."
"I have to give it to you. You really are a patient man. And, that is just one of the traits that I like about you. It is only second to your handsome appearance."
"Now, I have come clean in front of you. I have already told you everything that I have been doing recently, and so far, I have not done anything to Celine, this is because I know that you love her."
"In case she dies tomorrow, I\'m pretty sure that you are going to go berserk, and the moment that you would have seen me, you would have already attacked me."
The moment that Alicia said these words, she suddenly felt that the temperatures around her suddenly dropped. She felt thick killing intent leaking out of Jack\'s body, even though it was just for a moment, but she was slightly scared by it.
Her brows rose in surprise. She looked at Jack, and the smile on her face became even wider. Then, she spread her hands and said, "You see? I said it. I just mentioned about doing something to your ex-girlfriend, but look here, you almost wanted to kill me. But luckily, you are a patient man, and was able to hold back. That is something that I love about you."
As usual, Jack did not respond. Instead, he continued looking at Alicia, waiting for her to say the true purpose of her arrival here. As for the matter of claiming that Celine was his ex-girlfriend, he didn\'t pay much attention to it.
Instead, he was paying attention to the fact that, she said that she had been telling Celine to do things, but surprisingly, Celine did not resist. That implied that, there had to be a reason for her to do that.
Just remembering the unwillingness that was within Celine\'s eyes, Jack knew that everything that she did, was all against her will.
"Okay, okay. I can tell that right now, you are wondering how I was able to accomplish all of this. So, I will go ahead and tell you…" Alicia said as she looked at Jack, after calming her heart down.
