Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



Hallie and Mason's shrieks were so sharp that they split.

"Daughters gowned are daughters gone. You're no longer a Clements!"

No one knew his latter words were directed toward Hallie or Mason, but as soon as he finished speaking, he turned toward Frederick and only did his frown lift a little.

This time, his younger brother supported him, "Christian!"

Patting his hand to soothe him, they exchanged glanced and needed no words to understand each other.

Hallie was rendered speechless, but Mason flipped out.

"Mom, say something! Tell them I'm a Clements. I didn't take any drugs. Look at my eyes; I'm the child of the Clements family, not some sc*mbag's!"

Tugging at his mother, Mason pointed at Steve.

"Enough, stop talking!"

Mason roared in anger, but Penny's deliberately low voice had undoubtedly implied his parentage.

Alas, the truth will out!

But their actions still attracted everyone's attention. Christian had dealt with the matter that way to save their pride, but Mason couldn't accept the massive change and blamed the other family members.

"No, it's not true! Dad, look at my eyes; my eyes have changed! I'm really a Clements; don't be deceived by them! They want to come between us. Dad, I'm your favorite child, no? You've loved me for over twenty years and even promised to give me the company. How can you go back on your words?"

Seeing that his father was unimpressed, Mason blamed it on Frederick.

"Dad, it's him! It must be his doing! Dad, don't let him fool you. He definitely hates you for causing his mother's death and deliberately having us turn against each other, have you turn against your family!

"That's enough! Cough, cough..."

Christian roared in the end; however, the outburst got him coughing violently!

"Dadi-

Frederick, who had been silent all this while, went up to his father hurriedly while shooting a glance at his friend. "Carson?"

"It's fine; don't worry! Take a deep breath, Mr. Clements. Watch your blood pressure!"

Frederick's shout was undoubtedly adding insult to injury. Penny and Hallie's expression grew grim. Exchanging glances, Penny rushed toward her husband.

"Hubby, are you alright?"

She started crying when she managed to get a word in.

"Christian, I know I've wronged you. But you've known me for

twenty-plus years; do you not trust my integrity? I didn't mean to

deceive you; I've been schemed

against by him. He threatened me, and I'm too afraid of losing you, so I never dared to tell you Mason's real parentage. Christian..."

"Do I not deserve even a credit for all I've done by your side? I'm also a victim, Christian!"

"Give me another chance, please?"

4"It's all your fault, you jacka*s! I wish you suffer an insufferable death! I'll sue you!"

Penny charged toward Steve, yanking his shirt, lashing out, but also shot him a glance in the midst of it. She had deliberately faltered to obscure his vision, but she didn't expect it had given him a quick chance to hold her hostage.

In the blink of an eye, he strangled her with the handcuff chains.noveldrama

"Move, all of you! I'll kill her if you don't! Give me money and a car! I want fifty million, no, a hundred, cash! And a sports car, gassed- up! Throw the key to me!"

"I mean it! You have ten minutes. Quick, or she will die along with me!"

He pulled on the chain as he spoke, and Penny's face flushed instantly, her eyes bulged, fearful. "Help..."

"Mom, no! Dad, you have to save Mom. Tell them to bring the keys over!"

Though they had been keeping an eye on the two of them, who would've thought they still got the chance. Looking at the scene in front of him, Frederick shot a meaningful glance at his uncle and signaled everyone to back up while he went forward and spoke impassively.

"Do

you I think I'll let you go just because you two put on a two-man show? Dream on! No one opens the door, and no one calls the police! If you want to kill her, make it quick! You'll be doing me a favor, and you might just help me save thirty million by doing so.

Steve's eyes turned bloodshot as he increased his strength.

"Do you think I'm joking? Do you think I care about her life?" Frederick sniggered. "Huh, of course, you don't! Or you wouldn't impregnate your little treasury."

Frederick deliberately threw a red herring, thinking they fancifully wanted to die trying, not knowing they weren't acting.

"Right! How can an old woman

compare with a young girl in her

twenties? I think her name was

Moonie, wasn't it? I have to say, Steve, you really know to play your cards well, using the money of a rich woman to pamper your little lover and even get yourself a son. All the wealth and a beautiful wife by your side for the rest of your life, it's more reliable than a dubious son, no? Why don't I give you a chance to end her life? Do it, and we'll all be happy. No one will hold you accountable, no one will bug you, and no one will ask me for money. How wonderful! C'mon, do it!"

Frederick took a few steps forward as he pressed on, leading Steve to back up. Seeing that the Clements wasn't threatened, he started panicking. "Stop right there. Don't take another step further!"

Meanwhile, hearing the inside story and remembering that beautiful young woman and the luxurious jewelry on her, Penny hit the roof, having forgotten completely she was being held as a hostage. Stomping her stiletto on his bad foot, she went wild.

"You b*star, son of a b*tch! You want to kill me?

A*shole! You're dead!"

"Ah..."

Breaking free, Penny removed her

stilettoes and lunged at Steve. As the two scuffled, Steve wanted to strangle Penny once more, but

Frederick dragged her away in theet

nick of time. However, the handcuff chains hit his arm hard, and he couldn't resist growling. Penny stumbled to the ground the next second, and the others restrained Steve. Alicia, who dressed up like a man, charged at Frederick, seeing him clutching his arm.

"Hubby, are you hurt?"
