Chapter: 187

Alicia had other things to take care of, so she waved her hand. "I need to head out now."

Across the street, Rachel stood in the jewelry store, watching the scene unfold outside through the glass, taking in everything that had just transpired.

She observed the group of young people bouncing around with excitement.

“What are you staring at?" Randolph shouted, “Come over here and choose something. I'll buy whatever you like."

Rachel took his hand.

She pointed at the group of young people outside and said, “Randolph, look at that."

Although he was feeling annoyed, he was intrigued by what it was, so he took a closer look.

"Aren't those the same people who stirred up trouble earlier?"

"Yes," Rachel replied. "Why are they suddenly wearing the uniforms from the party?”

They quickly understood that the earlier commotion had been set up by someone.

Randolph's expression darkened as it dawned on him that he had been mocked.

“Who set this up?" he grunted. “Was it the host of the party?"

"I think it was Alicia," Rachel answered. She remembered how she saw Alicia transferring money to them earlier.

Randolph didn't expect that it would be Alicia.

“What does she have against me?" he asked with a grim expression.

Rachel felt just as confused.

She had always thought well of Alicia.

However, what happened today seemed excessive.

Randolph's anger subsided as he quickly regained his composure.

"She's Joshua's ex-wife. Do you think she has some hidden agenda?"

Rachel responded, “You're close to him. What motive could she possibly have?"

"You can never be sure what's on someone's mind," Randolph replied with a dismissive snort, clearly not wanting to dwell on the topic.

"Alicia isn't as naive as she seems. I'll have to ask Joshua about her. And you, stay cautious around her from now on."

Rachel naturally agreed with him.

She nodded and said, "Got it."

Randolph gently patted her hand and smiled. "Come on, let's choose a few more pieces of jewelry. You've had a tough day."

As Alicia returned to the party to gather her belongings, she crossed paths with Randolph and Rachel.

Randolph kept his polite expression. "Ms. Bennett, it looks Like you came by yourself. Why not ride with me? I'll give you a Lift."

Alicia noticed the forced smile on his face and immediately felt cautious.

She responded politely, “Thank you, Mr. Gray, but I've already arranged for a car."
