Chapter 9 Wrong Man

Caper's dark eyes looked icy. He had never met such a stupid woman before!

He readily put a kraft paper bag on the table and put an end to the boring game.

"Alice, here is all the information about Ruben, consider it as a lesson."

Before leaving, he claimed in an unbridled tone, "I'll buy you off for a month at 10 million yuan, and you'll regret messing with me."

He sounded like he was giving orders.

And his eyes glittered with confident light.

His years of abstinence were disturbed in one night, and he chose to let nature run its course. He would keep her as his lover for a month, and then the sense of freshness would fritter away.

He was confident that a poor student couldn't resist ten million yuan.

Everyone had a price tag.

After the man left, Alice finally came back to her senses, "Nuts! Go to hell with your ten million yuan!"

She couldn't believe this psycho should be Ruben's brother!

In less than ten seconds, Alice was suddenly enlightened!

A crucial point dawned on her. Wasn't he Danny's cousin?

How did he become Ruben's brother?

With this important clue, she immediately rushed over, opened the paper bag, and found all the intelligence about Ruben...

Half an hour later, Alice collapsed on the sofa with a dull face.

When her roommate came back, she was still in a trance.

"Alice! What's wrong?" Freya hurriedly closed the door and walked to Alice with a bag in her hand.

She read the files that scattered around and asked in astonishment, "Is this the real Ruben?"

"Alice, where did you get these files? You've met with Ruben?"

Alice smiled dully, "No wonder he never called me and only chatted with me via WeChat. Probably, he didn't want me to hear his voice..."

The real Ruben was not ugly. Far from it, he was handsome and elegant. Only compared with Caper, he was much inferior.

No wonder Alice didn't reject Ruben and even quickly fell in love...

Ridiculously, the man she loved was in those fake photos.

The real Ruben was a total stranger.

"Alice, if Ruben deceived you, who is the man you dated the other night?"

Freya's question snapped her out of the daze, and she slowly put the files back into the paper bag.

Turned out Ruben used Caper's photo to deceive her.

But why did he request to see her at that hotel the other night?

The information clearly showed that Ruben was with her sister, Sara.

Did they team up to deceive her?

"Alice, what's wrong? Are you all right?" Freya looked at her with concern.

"I'm fine and will figure out the matter with Ruben."

"Be careful of that cheater! He has hurt your feelings. Don't let him swindle you!"

"Swindle?" Alice looked at her roommate with confusion.

"Care to explain the 20,000 yuan on the tea table? As far as I can remember, you're saving it for your mother. Isn't your grandmother being treated in a sanatorium?"

"Yeah, it's for my mother. I'll go to the bank and make the transfer tomorrow." Alice nodded.

The money was collected by her from the tenant.

Her mother went back to their hometown to visit her grandma and had been staying there for three months.

Their store in Lakeland City was rented by an old friend during that period.

At night, Alice tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep until dawn.

At 8 a.m., she got out of bed, washed up, and went to the bank to wire the money.

An hour later, she went to see the tenant since there were no classes that morning. The tenant was her childhood friend named Zain Knowles.

In the store, Zain was going to eat instant noodles. The mixed-race guy looked quite handsome and spoke fluent English. "Alice! What brings you here?" He greeted her joyfully.
