Claire followed her out. They stood outside, in a small clearing beside the gates.
"Claire, you really know how to pick your timing! You came here today on purpose to make things difficult for me, right?! Don't you know that today is my birthday? Look at how many famous people came to celebrate and congratulate me. And you show up dressed in a drab. Are you trying to let people know that I have a sister that is not presentable?" Seeing as no one was around, Alice began to berate Claire.
Claire didn't have much reaction to Alice's words. Only her eyes grew colder and said in a low voice, "If you think that you've lost face because of me, quickly return my mother's things to me and I'll be out of your way."
"How many years has it been? Do you think that I'll still be keeping those trash treating them like treasures? Can't you see that I have a lot of guests to entertain? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm not that free.". Alice said with her arms akimbo and an impatient look on her face. She doesn't want to help Claire look for those things.
"I won't leave until you give me back those things!" Because she was sent abroad abruptly, Claire was not able to take her mother's belongings with her. Now that she has returned to the country, she's adamant to get her mother's things.
"Are you threatening me? Heh, Claire. Open your eyes and look carefully as to who I am now. You don't even have the qualifications to bring me my shoes, yet you dare to threaten me? I can shout for the guards to throw you out like trash!" There are many reasons as to why Alice didn't like Claire, but the only reason she didn't want to see her is because of what happened at the hotel five years ago. When the man found her in the suite while retrieving the suit jacket and wrist watch, he gave her a business card. The man that Claire slept with at that hotel is none other than the Great Young Master of the Wilson Family, Dempsey Wilson. Alice is afraid that when Claire returns, the matters back then would be exposed.
Claire had not expected Alice to act arrogantly. "I don't care who you've become. I just want my mother's things back." Claire's face was red with anger. Those things belonged to her mother and those were left behind for her. To Claire, those things were priceless treasures. Those were extremely precious to her and she definitely did not want to lose them. Just as Alice wanted to mock Claire ruthlessly, a light flashed across her eyes. She was shocked to see the car outside the door. Soon after, joy blossomed in her eyes. "Dempsey actually came!" she thought. It was too unexpected that she was too happy. Alice's eyes quickly scanned Claire's furious face, she leaned forward and whispered, "I know where those unlucky items are, but I don't want to return them to you. It was good that we didn't see you. Now that you have returned, I remember the stupid thing you did to my brother. My brother's legs haven't recovered yet. I want to strangle you to death, and you still want to take things from my house?! Over my dead body! Tomorrow, I'll lit them on fire and burn it to the ground!"
