Chapter 149

Molly rarely talked about herself, so she just briefly answered Alice now that Alice had asked her.

“Just came back?’ Alice wondered.

Alice was immediately relieved. She knew what kind of person Sean was. So, she figured that there
was nothing going on between them as they had just known each other for a short amount of time.
Sean could sense his mother’s intention from her questions, so he frowned and reminded his mother
coldly, “Mom, it’s about time. I’ll get the driver to send you there.” “It’s okay, the driver is waiting
downstairs.” Alice waved. She obviously knew what her son was trying to say. Besides, the banquet
was starting soon, so she did not want to be late. She looked at Molly again before she left.

“I’m putting my son in your hands now, Dr. May.” She then smiled politely at Molly and left, though she
was feeling rather defeated. ‘Why does that rascal always chase me out in front of outsiders?’ When
Alice left, Molly asked, “Did your mother misunderstand us or something…” She was not stupid. She
instantly knew Alice’s motiye when she heard her questions, so she was worried that she might make
Alice misunderstand them further.

But Sean did not want her to be involved in this as he did not want to drag Molly down. So, he said
flatly, “Not at all. You don’t have to bother.”

Molly did not think further as she did not have time for a relationship anyway. She nodded and said,
“Come on, let’s eat. I’ve prepared dinner already.”

Sean nodded.

After some time, Alice arrived at the hotel where Abigail was having a birthday banquet. The floor of the
hall was covered in a red carpet, and the security was at the entrance, checking the guests orderly to



stop any suspicious people and look out for any harmful items.

The hotel was extravagant and loud.

There was a fountain in the middle of the hall, and a carved goddess sculpture was sitting in the middle
of the fountain. It was delicate and realistic. The water rushed up from below and poured out from her
palms in an endless cycle.

Abigail and her parents were ushering the guests at the entrance. When they saw Ricky and Alice,
Abigail’s eyes sparkled as she walked up to them with a smile.

Her makeup was soft and elegant, and she was wearing a plain white gown that brought out her
enticing curves. The hem of her skirt would move as she walk, and she looked like a blooming flower
on a lake with her graceful walk.
