A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 108

Silvia continued insulting her, "Alina, don't blame everything on my family. Put yourself into our shoes for a moment. If you have a brother as outstanding as Wilson, would you allow him to marry someone like you?

"Don't try to deny it. Your past relationship with Ken is public knowledge now. Don't tell me, you are still a virgin? A wench like you must have been very eager to sleep with any rich guy who gives you the time of the day.

"For instance, just like how you managed to hook up with my brother. You must be very skilful in bed. Even an impressive man like my brother could be enamoured by you.  

"However, let me tell you this, Alina. All your tricks are useless. In the end, my brother will have to marry someone like Monica. Just compare yourself to her. In terms of status, you're a commoner while Monica is a noble lady from the Adams family. In terms of education, you graduated from a no-name university, but Monica returned from her studies overseas. Well, in terms of looks, I have to admit that you are pretty. However, what's the use of it? Compared to Monica's upbringing, the difference between the both of you is like night and day.

"The most important thing is that if my brother marries Monica, no one will be able to threaten his position as the president of Scott Group. If he marries you, God knows what would happen." 

Alina interrupted her, "Your brother is Wilson Scott. He doesn't need a marriage of convenience to strengthen his position. Furthermore, he is not worried about anyone else competing with him for the position as president of Scott Group."

"Alina, you've read too many fairy tales, haven't you? I'm going to die from laughter!" Silvia laughed mockingly. 

At this moment, Monica came over with a smile on her face. "Silvia, Alina. What are the both of you talking about? You sound so happy!" 

Silvia glared angrily at Alina and wrapped her arm around Monica's. As they walked towards the dining hall, Silvia gushed, "Monica, you must stay with the Scott Family for a little longer. My mom and I like having you around very much."

Alina took a deep breath, retrieved a small mirror from her bag, and checked the wound on her forehead.

Although the wound was superficial, it wasn't pretty to look at. Alina quickly covered her forehead with her fringe so that Lincoln wouldn't notice the wound. 

In the afternoon, Wilson suddenly returned home and caught Silvia by surprise.

While Wilson was away, she framed Alina for stealing the necklace, drugged her with laxatives, and tripped Alina up. Initially, Silvia wasn't scared at all, but when her brother returned home, she started worrying about whether Alina would tattle on her to Wilson. Silvia looked for any sign of Alina around, but she wasn't. Silvia patted her chest, secretly relieved.

She put on a sweet smile, took Wilson by the arm, and said coquettishly, "Wilson, you're finally back. Did you bring me a gift?"

"No!" Wilson reached out and flicked her forehead.

"Ouch, it hurts!" She held her sore forehead in her hands.

"Tell me, did you bully Alina when I'm away?" Wilson asked.

Silvia rolled her eyes. D*mn it, she didn't know whether Alina had called Wilson prior to this and complained about her. When she remembered how Wilson had withheld her allowance because she called Alina a b*tch, Silvia became indignant. 

However, it seemed like she did not complain. Wilson's expression seemed too easygoing for that to be true. 

Hence, she summoned up her courage and shook her head. "No, absolutely not! How could I bully her? She follows after Grandfather all the time. You can't imagine how protective Grandfather is of her!"  

Hearing this, Wilson lifted the corners of his lips. 

Then he remembered what Jayden had told him about the necklace, and his face turned cold. "What's going on with the lost necklace?"

Silvia was annoyed when Wilson mentioned the necklace. At that moment, she had no qualms about losing her pocket money and said without hesitation, "Oh, seems like someone had complained about this to you first. That day, Mother invited Alina to tea. However, she stole Mother's necklace. What the hell, she must have been a habitual thief." 

Wilson frowned. "Mother invited her to have tea?" This was really strange. How could he not know what his mother was like? 

Silvia nodded vigorously. "That's right! We used to think that her family was just a little poor, but who knew that she was such a person?"

"What kind of person?" Wilson became more and more displeased.

"Do I have to say it so clearly? If you insist, I'll oblige. Alina is nothing but a thief!"

"Shut up!" Wilson rebuked her.

Silvia pouted in grievance. "Wilson, you were the one who forced me to say it." 

Wilson stared coldly into Silvia's eyes. Goosebumps emerged all over her body as Silvia shivered guiltily.  

"Mom deliberately invited Alina to have tea and then framed her for stealing the necklace?" Wilson's eyes were as sharp as a sword.

Silvia didn't dare to meet his gaze and flatly denied it. "No, she was the one who stole the necklace. We found the necklace in her pocket. If she didn't steal it, how could the necklace be in her pocket? Wilson, you can't put the blame on Mother and me just because you are in love with her. We are the closest people to you!"

Wilson's voice was emotionless as he asked further, "Did you put the necklace in her pocket?"

Silvia hadn't expected Wilson to accuse them of framing Alina. She cursed and said with a slip of her tongue, "Did that b*tch, Alina, tell you about this? She stole the necklace and did such a shameful thing. How dare she talk nonsense?" 

"Silvia, tell me the truth! Otherwise, I'll send you away to military school," Wilson warned her. 

When she heard Wilson's threat, Silvia didn't dare to continue lying. She shrank back and admitted, "Alright, alright! I'm the one who put the necklace in her pocket. You knew that neither Mother nor I liked her, but you insisted on letting her live in the Scott Family villa. I really don't understand why you love her so much. Look at her disagreeable face! She looks so bitter and resentful whenever she's around us as if we owed her millions of dollars!"  

"All of you are judging her through the lens of prejudice. Regardless of whether it was deliberate or unintentional, you are making things difficult for her. Should she put herself down or act like a doormat for all of you?" Wilson did not agree with what Silvia said. On the contrary, he looked up to Alina for having the guts to face his mother and sister alone, without belittling herself.

Then, he signaled for Silvia to continue.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You know that we won't allow you to marry Alina. That's why we came up with this idea. We intended for her to back out from the marriage, but who knew that she would be so thick-skinned?"

"Shut up! In addition to framing Lina for stealing the necklace, what else did you do to her?" Wilson stared coldly into Silvia's eyes. Since she was his sister, he knew her personality inside out. 

Silvia started feeling guilty again. She rolled her eyes and thought, "That b*tch, Alina must have told Wilson everything in retaliation. That's why he came to interrogate me. What the hell, I'll just confess to everything. Why should I be afraid? This is my brother who has loved me since I was a child. How could I be inferior in Wilson's eyes compared to an outsider?"  

When she thought of this, Silvia confessed everything she had done to Alina. "I drugged Alina's tea with laxatives every day to make her feel sick.  This morning, I tripped her up and she hurt her forehead." 

Wilson frowned and asked coldly, "What else?"

He really didn't expect while he was away, Silvia was up to so much mischief. This girl needed to be taught a lesson. 

In addition, Lina, that stupid woman also needed a lesson. Her messages said nothing but the positive aspects of her day, which made him believe nothing else happened except for the incident of the stolen necklace. 

Silvia became irritable at her brother's question. She complained loudly, "No, no! I didn't do anything else. Don't listen to Alina's nonsense."

As Silvia spoke, she straightened her back and gritted her teeth. "I, Silvia, would take responsibility for everything I did. I only did these three things and nothing else. Oh, in addition, I told Monica that I wanted her to be my sister-in-law. That doesn't count, right? I didn't hurt Alina directly in any way."  

Wilson had already strode away.

Silvia shouted behind him, "I really didn't do anything else! Wilson, are you possessed? How could you believe an outsider rather than your own sister?"  

When Wilson disappeared in the distance, Silvia kicked the stones on the pavement angrily. "Alina is such a tattletale, snitching on me to Wilson. So what if I bullied her? At most, I just don't have any pocket money. Next time, I'll continue bullying her!"  

Alina emerged from the bookstore with a stack of books in her arms. When she noticed a familiar car parked by the roadside, she ran over with excitement. The window scrolled down and Wilson's expressionless face appeared, looking at Alina with a stern gaze.  

Her smile instantly froze on her face. Alina greeted him hesitantly, "Scumbag!"  

Did something happen? Why was his face so cold? 

"Get in the car!" Wilson ordered bluntly. 

"Alright," Alina answered obediently, opened the door to the passenger seat, and got in the car.

She reached out to fasten her seatbelt but when she was about to buckle up, Wilson had already leaned over to help her.

Wilson drove the car wordlessly to the entrance of Lanthem Hospital and stopped. 

Alina frowned. What was wrong with Wilson? Could it be that he was jealous of Michael?

She had been so busy recently that she hadn't come to visit Michael for several days.

Just as she was about to explain, Wilson turned around and pulled her into his embrace. He whispered in her ear, "Lina, I'm sorry!"

A while ago, Wilson was furious because Alina did not know how to protect herself. He was angry that she kept all her hardships to herself and bore the burden alone. 

But after seeing her just now, how could he still be angry? It had only been a few days since he last saw her, but she appeared thinner and the circles around her eyes were darker.

The reason why Alina became like this was because of the harm his mother and sister had done to her while he was away.

"What's wrong?" Alina looked uneasy because of Wilson's sudden apology.

When he saw her worried expression, Wilson's heart ached again. He said softly, "Come on, let's see a doctor!" 

"Why do I have to see a doctor? I'm fine!"

"Get out of the car first!"

Alina obediently obliged and got off.

Wilson had already circled around the car and grabbed Alina's hand tightly. Hand in hand, they walked towards the doors of Lanthem Hospital. 

When they entered the hospital building, Wilson said, "I'm sorry for everything you have been through while I'm away!" 

A wave of sadness rose up within Alina and she quickly composed herself. As long as they both loved each other, this grievance was nothing she couldn't bear. 

She turned to Wilson with a sweet and sunny smile. "You don't have to be sorry, I don't feel aggrieved at all. Keeping Grandfather company in the evening while he practices his calligraphy makes me feel very happy. In the morning, I'm busy drafting up design plans, reading, and registering my company. It's very fulfilling and satisfying!" 

Alina didn't want to let Wilson know about the puzzle she was doing for him. It was close to completion and she wanted it to be a surprise!
