"Fine. It's my fault. But, I really appreciate your courage. What we should do next is..."

Thompson stood up and walked towards Alice slowly. Then, he whispered something in her ear that

would probably send chills down her spine.

Alice patiently listened, her eyes wide in shock. What Thompson said was cruel.

Sadly, her love for Jacob was now gone. All that was left in her heart was resentment. Well, hate is the

most complicated thing in the world.

Alice wanted to see Jacob suffer with her own eyes. She would pay to see him live in misery, hoping

that he would get the punishment he deserved.

"Let's do it. But before anything else, make sure that nothing goes wrong. I don't want to hear from him

again!" she said while glaring at Thompson as if he was the one who had wronged her. At the thought

of Jacob being tortured, a sly smile tugged the corner of her mouth, making her look devilish.

Thompson shuddered as he looked at her. Although the weather was scorching hot, Alice's icy cold

words gave him chills. This is probably what people mean when they say "Nobody knows how much I

hate you except myself."

"Wow! I didn't know you're this heartless. Honestly, I thought you'd hesitate at first. Guess I shouldn't

mess around with women in the future." Thompson felt amazed by her determination, but at the same

time, he was starting to become wary of her.

It is astonishing how a woman can turn her love into hatred when betrayed. Also, how jealousy can

intensify it.

Alice was that kind of person. If she could not get what she wanted, nobody could have it as well. She

would rather destroy it than let go.

"Why? Are you scared?" she asked with a sinister smile.

"Well, compared to what you've done before, this is nothing. Don't act so surprised," she added with a

smile as she put down her coffee on the table.

The café where they were at the moment was elegant and well-adorned with fancy decorations. Alice

appreciated it very well being a petty bourgeoisie herself.

Jacob had thought her a lot. In fact, her taste was influenced by him. If it were not for him, she would

not have learned so many things.

Ironically, one of the things that he had taught her was hatred. Not only that, but he had also taught her

how to fly, even though he was the one who cut her wings in the end.

Alice still could not accept it. They were so happy when they were together, but Jacob suddenly

decided that he no longer loved her.

All of a sudden, he believed that it was time to say goodbye. He left just like that, as though she never

mattered. That was the reason why it was very difficult for Alice to let go and move on.

That was probably what made them different between each other. They were not on the same page,

yet Alice did not plan on being reconciled with him.

Her suffering became her motivation for revenge. Since Jacob made things difficult for her, she would

make him get to taste his own medicine and let him never live peacefully. That was all in her mind right

now.

Of course, everyone was aware that she was up to something, including Jacob himself. When he broke

up with her, he became kinder to her. However, sometimes, she felt like he deliberately turned a blind

eye to her, as if he did not care at all.

That is the saddest feeling in the world. Even if you beg, you still cannot attract an ounce of attention

from the person you care about the most. There is nothing else you can do, not even if you commit

suicide in front of him. Even if you still try to win him back, sad to say but, he has already erased you

from his world.

Alice's biggest problem was that she loved to do meaningless things.

Well, to begin with, she never thought things through, whether it was meaningful or not. Regardless of

the answer, she wanted to attract Jacob's attention.

"That's exactly why I like you. Ha-ha! Well, we wouldn't be allies in the first place if you weren't like this.

Don't worry. I know what happened between you and Jacob. This whole thing was his fault. I will

support you on whatever you want to do."

Thompson could not stop chuckling. Meanwhile, Alice did not say anything.

What she needed right now was a man like him who would encourage her to achieve her goals. After

all, she was full of wrath that was yet to be unleashed. The last thing she wanted was a person who

would get in her way.

Alice had to admit that she had sacrificed a lot to get back at Jacob. She did not only sacrifice her

youth but also her dignity. She even lost herself in the process.

Yes, she could not remember who she was before. The only thing she knew was that she had

changed. In fact, she was much more sophisticated than before.

Nobody knew what she was up to. If anyone did, they would definitely say that she had gone insane.

It was true, though. That was actually the reason why she had the courage to do her revenge.

Well, her sanity at the moment was not important. The most important thing was that she finally had the

nerve to follow her heart.

Since she loathed Jacob to the core, she would make sure to send him to hell!

"By the way, how are you and Jonathan doing? Let me remind you that he's also a shark. Don't fall in

love with him, or else you'll suffer. Everything you've done will be futile."

Thompson persuaded Alice. Although he knew that she was smart enough to judge a man's nature, he

still felt the need to tell her what he thought.

Whether she would accept it or now, it was not his business but hers.

Ever since they had become allies, Thompson had developed a sense of camaraderie with her. For

some reason, he felt that it was his duty to inform her of the things that he had learned.

"I know, I know. I'm well aware that it's just a game. Besides, I think the reason he wants to be with me

is because I'm Jacob's ex-girlfriend."

When Alice spoke, she was calm, yet her smile was frightening.

The corners of Thompson's mouth twitched. He was at a loss for words. It turned out that Alice knew

everything, but she still agreed to be with Jonathan. For some reason, Thompson felt that that made

her even more formidable.

"We just take what we need from each other, so I can understand. Besides, we both know that we're

just using each other, and there's nothing wrong with that. Jonathan, you, and I, we're all the same,

aren't we?"

Thompson was stunned by the level of sarcasm in Alice's words. It turned out that she was not who he

thought she was. She had survived dangers and was now on the way to achieving her goal.

"I thought you were in denial, so I never thought about it. But now I get it, you're actually cleverer than

you seem. Ha-ha!" Thompson burst into laughter, yet he felt like Alice was becoming a stranger in his

mind.

He thought he knew her well. However, the longer they went along with each other, the stranger she

became.

For him, Alice was just a pawn. Could it be that he was a pawn to her as well?

"Anyway, I've heard that Jonathan will invite Jacob in his grand wedding ceremony. Have you known

about this?" Thompson asked while playing the emerald ring on his thumb with a cunning look in his

eyes.

"Really? I haven't heard about it yet, but I can assure you that I have no objection on this. Inviting

Jacob is actually a good idea. I want him to see me become the bride of the person he hates the most."

Alice's tone was calm, yet danger was apparent in her words. Truth be told, she hated Jacob now as

much as she loved him back then. Well, perhaps Jacob did not care.

However, Alice wanted to show him who she was now.

In this way, she would show him that he now meant nothing to her. Not only that, but it would also show

that Jacob was not as good as the man she was about to marry.

"Now that you agree with my plan, I'm going to give you a grand gift so you can get married with glory.

Just think of it as your dowry."

Thompson looked at Alice, the smile in his eyes wide in anticipation. The gift would serve as a

consolation. It would seem that she had made a right decision to have him as an ally.

"Sure. Anyway, I wonder if my revenge is worth betting on my own life."

Alice narrowed her eyes slightly. For some reason, coffee made her feel a little drunk. Perhaps it was

because she did not want to sober up that she felt that way?

"It doesn't matter. You can divorce him anytime. It's just a mere formality. Besides, you got me."

Thompson smiled, his deep dimples puckered on his cheeks.

The emerald ring on his hand shone the green light. For Alice, it meant opportunity.
