Chapter 21 The shelf is even bigger than me

.As soon as the phone was turned on, it started ringing.

It was Bella calling.

Alice answered, "Auntie..."

"Alice, how are you? Are you okay? Did Adam catch you? I didn't dare call you."

"I'm back and I'm fine."

"That's good. Adam is really unfathomable. He went back to the old house just to catch you. I thought he would never show up again!"

Alice lowered her gaze. Was Star City still off-limits because of Adam? Even if he wanted to deal with the Davis Family, it would be as easy as squeezing an ant...

"Alice, don't worry. Auntie will find a way to help you out of this mess!"

"Auntie, I can handle it myself..."

"You can handle it yourself, but Auntie still has to find a way to help you. You can't let him bully you forever!"

After hanging up, Bella returned to the living room where Benjamin was sitting with a troubled expression.

"I didn't expect Adam to still be targeting Alice. It's all my fault," Benjamin apologized to his wife.

"What does it have to do with you? Who can change what he wants to do? Besides, he's your son. He won't really do anything excessive," Bella had another idea, "I'm thinking, why don't we arrange a woman for Adam? Maybe that will divert his attention?"

"Women?"

"Do you remember the daughter of the Sun family, Yolanda?"

"The one who's now a big star?"

"Yes, a few months ago I ran into her while shopping on the street. She even asked me about Adam's whereabouts. At that time, Adam hadn't appeared yet, and when I said I didn't know, she looked disappointed! Yolanda must have a crush on Adam!"

"Really?"

"Don't you believe my intuition?" Bella was confident. "She's two years older than Alice and she came to the Davis Family to find Adam before. She probably had a crush on him back then!"

"If that's really the case, it's not bad." Benjamin agreed.

Today's Wanmei Plastic Surgery Hospital was somewhat unusual.Yolanda came here with her assistant and reporters, with a grand gesture.

Alice, standing among the nurses, was slightly stunned when she saw Yolanda, but quickly returned to normal.

In the plastic surgeon's office -

"Dr. Liao, can you help me check if my face has been cut or touched up, even if it's just a minor adjustment. When you examine me, you guys should get closer with your cameras, so that those jealous women won't think my face is fake." Yolanda directed the reporters and her assistant.

One person held a camera, while the other held a phone, both pointed at Yolanda.

After Yolanda sat down, Dr. Liao examined her facial bones and features, feeling her brow bones, cheekbones, and nose.

"Never had any surgery, not even minor adjustments," Dr. Liao said with a smile after finishing the examination.

Yolanda smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, Dr. Liao. Now I can rest assured."

"It's my pleasure," Dr. Liao replied.

Yolanda turned her face and said, "Okay, you can stop now. Edit the footage and post it online."

The journalist and assistant packed up their equipment and left.

As the sky darkened, Alice walked out of the plastic surgery hospital. A car pulled up in front of her, with a bold burgundy paint job.

The car window rolled down, revealing Yolanda's exquisitely made-up face.

"I didn't expect it to be you," Yolanda said.

Alice had noticed her when she first entered the plastic surgery hospital.

Without saying a word, Yolanda said, "Get in the car! Let's talk."

Alice didn't know what to talk about and was hesitant to get in the car.

"Come on, Alice, don't be so distant. We used to hang out together. Besides, if we keep sitting here, people will think I'm up to something shady by returning to the plastic surgery hospital," Yolanda said.

Alice really wanted to say, "I didn't ask you to stop here."

But in the end, she opened the car door and got in.They were headed to a fancy restaurant.

As soon as Alice walked in, she felt out of place.

Everyone there was dressed very extravagantly, both men and women.

Yolanda was wearing high heels and a designer dress.

Meanwhile, Alice was wearing flat shoes, faded jeans, and a loose-fitting T-shirt that probably cost less than 100 yuan altogether.

Even the manager stared at her for a long time when they walked in.

If it weren't for Yolanda, Alice would have been kicked out.

After they found a seat, Alice asked, "Why did we come here?"

"Of course, to eat," Yolanda said. "This place has great privacy, which is perfect for a popular celebrity like me."

Alice didn't care about Yolanda's tone of voice; she had always been like this.

"Let's order!" Yolanda picked up the menu. "You probably haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together."

Alice had just finished work and hadn't eaten yet. She was thinkingabout going home to make some instant noodles.

She didn't even need to look at the menu to know that everything was very expensive!

"No thanks," Alice said, thinking that Yolanda had something to say to her, but it turned out they were just there to eat.

Yolanda didn't say anything and ordered several dishes, plus a bottle of red wine. She handed the menu to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Yolanda looked at Alice's face with a scrutinizing expression.

She never liked Alice since the first time she saw her face at Davis Family. And after not seeing her for a few years, the feeling of dislike doubled.

"When did you come back?" Yolanda asked.

"It's been half a month."

"I just finished filming and don't know anything. Are you still in contact with Mu Ge?"

Alice's expression changed, indicating that Yolanda didn't know that Adam had come back.

And she knew that Yolanda liked Adam.She rushed to her and warned her, "I like Mu Ge, don't compete with me."

At that time, Alice was a freshman and was completely confused about what it meant to like someone.

Now she understood.

"It seems that you don't know either," Yolanda said with a relieved heart. "Why did you come back? I remember you didn't graduate, right?"

"I didn't study and came back."

"Did the school not accept you?"

Alice didn't say anything.

The food arrived quickly.

Yolanda saw that Alice wasn't moving and said, "Why are you so guarded against me? Am I going to eat you? I'm not used to being stared at while eating."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Alice, long time no see, your attitude is even worse than mine?" Yolanda was not very happy. "And I ordered two portions, can I finish them alone?"Alice looked at the other tables in the restaurant, afraid of attracting attention. Besides, wasting food was not good, so she reluctantly picked up her utensils and began to eat the delicious food in front of her.

Yolanda was satisfied when she saw Alice eating.

When they were almost finished, Yolanda looked uncomfortable and said, "Why does my stomach feel a little uncomfortable? I'm going to the bathroom."

She got up and left.

Alice thought Yolanda would be back soon, but she didn't appear even after waiting for twenty minutes. Could it be that she had an upset stomach?
