Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1060: Chapter 625: What Is the Truth

The moment Sena dashed toward the windowsill, Alice also rushed forward. As they crossed paths, Sena’s left foot got tangled with Alice’s right foot.

”Oh no!”

Alice cried out as she tumbled in front of Sena. Caught off guard, Sena also staggered and lunged forward. ”Careful!” Alice shouted as she extended her hand to yank Sena’s ankle back fiercely. Under the influence of two opposing forces, an already unstable Sena crashed to the ground with a thud.

”I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

In a swift fish leap, Alice bounced back up, transforming from her previous frailty into a completely different person. All of this unfolded in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Luo Lian was still hesitating, and Alice had already pounced in front of the windowsill.

”Amy, the backyard is full of Monique’s treasures. Even if you’re fond of them, there’s no need to jump down to see, right?” Alice said while reaching out to pull Luo Lian.

Seeing the excitement in Alice’s eyes, Luo Lian quickly dodged the outstretched hand and aimed a flying kick at Alice.

She knew it; everything the other person said earlier was all lies.

The intention was to make Sena let down her guard, and indeed, it succeeded.

She didn’t want to stay here, but she also didn’t want to become prey for the animals. She could die, but she would definitely not choose a way that left no bones behind!

She always knew Alice was skilled, but the strength and speed she displayed just now still surprised her.

It turned out this seemingly delicate vined morning glory was even more insidious than that charming poppy flower.

The personality Alice usually showcased, and her actions today, demonstrated that she was an even more formidable opponent than Lisha. With such skills, yet she always seemed content to live under Lisha’s shadow. Didn’t that reveal everything?

”Amy, you’re really ungrateful. I was genuinely trying to save you, and you treat me like this. Don’t blame me for not being polite then!” Alice’s wrist flicked, revealing a small dagger in her hand. Ruthlessness and excitement converged on her delicate face, making it exceptionally bizarre!

”Miss Alice, you can’t do this!” Sena shouted, rushing over. Alice gave a whistle, and two Black men swiftly dashed in, entangling Sena in a fight.

Luo Lian had already leaped off the windowsill, grabbing a nearby steel clothing rack to shield herself: ”So... this was all your plot?”

”Exactly!” Alice proudly raised her chin, ”You thought I’d be that easy to catch? And that b***h Lisha really thought I obeyed her willingly?” She let out a cold sneer, ”She overestimated herself; she couldn’t achieve her goal even by sacrificing herself. Only an idiot like her would do such things!

Amy, if you know what’s good for you, put down what you’re holding and obediently follow my instructions. You should know I didn’t plan to take your life; otherwise, a bullet could instantly end you. Don’t push me to be ruthless; my patience is limited.”

Luo Lian looked at her calmly, ”Johnny is your man?” Only this way could everything be explained. And Johnny was Monique’s subordinate for ten years, most trusted and relied upon by Monique. If this were true, Alice truly would impress her.

”What do you think?” Alice burst into a crazed laugh.

”Judging by the current situation, you must have arranged everything long ago. Most of the people here work for you. Even if I die, can I at least die knowing why?”

Alice stopped laughing and raised an eyebrow, ”You’re wondering why I’m treating Monique like this?”

”Yes!” Luo Lian nodded, ”You’re treating me like this because of Monique, right? As you said before, doing this means Monique might never accept you, so why bother?”

”He might not accept me, but under absolute power, what does that matter?” Alice smiled triumphantly, ”Do you think I’d be like that useless Lisha, waiting for Monique’s forgiveness?”

Luo Lian’s eyes widened in shock, ”You want to...” Even though she was prepared mentally, she was still startled.

”Exactly!” Alice snorted coldly, ”Who says only women can be sex slaves? Besides, do you think I’d willingly belong to just him?”

”Uh...” Luo Lian was genuinely speechless.

A woman ruthless, shameless, patient, and extremely adept at pretending, achieving everything today, didn’t seem too surprising.

Yet, even though she felt she’d seen it all and wouldn’t be shocked by many things, facing a woman like this left her at a loss for words.

After hesitating, Luo Lian turned to Alice, ”Can you tell me how you plan to deal with me?” She would rather fall into Monique’s hands than Alice’s!

As it stood, Alice held the absolute advantage. Whether charging out or fighting Alice immediately, neither was a wise choice. All she could do was buy time—every moment counts! Given her understanding of Monique’s character, it was still uncertain whether she’d be caught by Alice.

”Are you waiting for Monique to come to your rescue?” Alice’s lips curled into a mocking smile, ”Do you know why you’re always at a disadvantage?”

”Why?” Luo Lian reflexively asked.

”You’re always waiting for someone else to save you. Although you appear strong and independent on the outside, at critical moments, you still prefer to rely on others.

As for me, it’s quite the opposite. Normally, I seem to want to rely on others all the time, but in reality, I only trust myself with everything. In this world, the only person I can trust is myself!

In contrast to me, you’ve been too lucky, which has shaped such a character. So, one shouldn’t live too complacently, understood?”

”I’ve been lucky?” Luo Lian laughed uproariously, ”Alice, considering everything I’ve been through since childhood, you should know, and yet you say I’ve been lucky?”

”What you see is just the surface. Do you think mom indulged me in everything?” Alice curled her lips, ”Wrong. What she did to me in private, none of you have any idea.

The way she treated you was just to protect you; you fool, you always thought mom was bad to you. Mom’s will made everything clear; you fools!”

”I still don’t understand why mom would protect me using such a method. The will was also drawn up according to the agreement between her and my biological mother, wasn’t it? Moreover...” Luo Lian paused, ”In the end, she transferred most of the property, which originally belonged to me, to you and your brother, didn’t she?”

”Initially, I thought so too. But after accidentally discovering the truth, I couldn’t believe it myself. She did it all for you!” At this point, tears seemed to flicker in Alice’s eyes.

”What exactly did she do to you?”

Given the rare willingness of the other party to talk, Luo Lian quickly asked further.
