章節 31: Meeting Alicia Bradfort

-In the café-

Based on past events, Daisy knew Alicia didn't want to see her again. Alicia had previously warned her not to try to contact her again.

Alicia shared with Michael everything that Daisy had told her during their last meeting. Michael pleaded with her not to believe Daisy's words and manipulated her by saying that Daisy was jealous of him and wanted to ruin their relationship. Believing her boyfriend, Alicia started to dislike Daisy even more, thinking she was trying to ruin their relationship.

Michael complained to Alicia's father about how Daisy had tried to spoil their plans. This angered her father, who punished her by locking her in her room for a week.

The only way Daisy could reach Alicia was through her friend Mia. Unfortunately, Mia also doesn't like Daisy because she believes she has tried to ruin Alicia's relationship.

However, Daisy managed to persuade Mia that this would be her last attempt to talk to Alicia. She wanted to show Alicia something and promised not to disturb her again.

Initially, she disagreed because she worried that Daisy might harm her best friend. But upon hearing Daisy's assurance that she wouldn't disturb Alicia again, Mia reluctantly agreed.

Mia agreed to this only on the condition that she would stay with Alicia, which Daisy immediately accepted.

Daisy thinks about the possibility that Alicia may not believe her. If that happens, Alicia and her family would find themselves tangled in a mess with no way to go back.

Just then, Daisy saw Alicia and Mia walking towards her. It was clear from Alicia's expression that she didn't want to meet Daisy.

Both of them sat down in front of Daisy.

"I don't understand why you hate your brother so much and why you want to break us apart. I'll say one thing—I'll never believe what you say. I trust Michael, and he would never lie to me," Alicia says.

"Alicia, I just want you to know the truth. I don't want you to be hurt," Daisy pleads.

"If you're going to rant about the same things I've heard from you in the past, I warn you to not waste my time," Alicia replies.

"Today, I want to show you something. You won't believe what I say anyway," Daisy insists.

"This is just going to be a waste of my time. I don't know why you accepted her request," Alicia asks her best friend.

"She said she wouldn't bother you again. That's why," Mia replies, looking down.

"Don't worry; it won't be a waste of time," Daisy assures them.

"Whatever," Alicia is not interested in Daisy's words. There's no way she's going to believe her anyway.

"Can you call my brother and ask where he is right now?" Daisy requests Alicia.

"He said he would visit Pearl Town today. Otherwise, I would have brought your brother too," Alicia responds.

"Why don't you give him a call right now?" Daisy requests it again.

"I don't have to. I believe in him. He went to Pearl Town to attend a meeting," Alicia asserts.

Daisy feels bad for Alicia. She believes in him, and Daisy knows she doesn't deserve the heartbreak.

"Why don't you do what she says? She said she would not bother you," Mia interjects, curious why Daisy wanted to meet Alicia so badly.

"Mia, are you siding with her?" Alicia asks. Fed up with Daisy's constant rant, she reluctantly calls her boyfriend.

-On the phone-

"Hello, babe," Michael responds on the other side.

"Hey, babe. Where are you right now?" Alicia wants to end this drama.

"Of course, I was in Pearl Town. Didn't I tell you? Or are you doubting me?" Michael asks.

"No, not at all. I was just asking. Sorry for disturbing you. Take care. Love you," Alicia says, not wanting her boyfriend to think she doesn't believe in him. She wouldn't have done anything like this if not for Daisy. She ends the call promptly.

-Call end-

"See, I told you he is in Pearl Town. Are you done now? Can I go back?" Alicia asks, furious at Daisy for making her boyfriend think she was doubting him.

"I want to take you somewhere, but from what I know, people don't call it Pearl Town," Daisy says.

"What are you trying to say, Daisy?" Mia asks.
