Chapter 756 - It’s Not Finished!
At this moment, the atmosphere gradually stagnated and Jack suddenly started coughing loudly.
Seeing this, Alice hurriedly stepped forward, and immediately took out a Chinese medicine from her bag.
She sent it to Jack, anxiously advising, "Uncle, you better not talk anymore, your throat can't stand it!"
Jack nodded while he was still coughing, looked at Alice gratefully, and picked it up. The pill is delivered directly to his mouth.
As he continued to chew the pill, the medicine went straight to his heart and lungs and so his cough slowly stopped.
Alice then glanced at Jean and the others and explained, "This medicine is a prescription given by Vincent. Jack always consumes it straight and it tastes very bitter. In order to be able to speak as quickly as possible, he has taken almost all of Vincent's medicine for a month. It is not easy for Uncle Jack to talk so much. It's so potent, he can't stand such a dosage.."
"He's already said all he has to say. Now please let his throat rest for a bit!" Alice really cared about Jack, so she was concerned about his health.
And her words made the hearts of the Widjaya family very depressed.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jack's body, and they were more of a silent response than worry.
"Alfred, stop! Where are you going?!"
Florence stared at the door sharply, her voice also caught everyone's attention.
At this moment, everyone discovered that Alfred had walked towards the door without knowing when he lowered his head.
Florence quickly got up and called out to him, her brows furrowed, and the traces of her wrinkles were clearly visible.
At this moment, Alfred stopped his steps, but did not turn around.
He stared ahead, his tone was light. "Grandma, don't forget, there are still a lot of guests downstairs."
Today, the Ricardo family's centenary banquet had become a joke to him.
He left this private family room, and he realized that he would always be bound and would carry all the glory and the faults of the Ricardo family.
The guests downstairs haven't left yet, and so the Ricardo family can't ignore it!
After the reminder, Florence suddenly stretched her eyebrows.
She stepped forward and gave an implied order, "It's still in the middle of the event, you can come down to take care of it. Don't let them think that the Ricardo family is disrespectful, remember to cheer up a good companion."
The Ricardo family is rude?!
Does she still care about the trifles on her face?
Alfred closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the tightness in his chest made him not want to stay here for a second.
Before he paced back and forth, he answered stupidly. "Does not matter!"
Alfred's departure seemed to indicate that the night was coming to an end.
Florence stopped and watched her grandson's lonely figure leave, and a sudden panic rose in her heart.
In an instant, she started to cheer herself up.
She was sure that Alfred would definitely not leave the Ricardo family alone!
Her most proud grandson would definitely not let her down!
In the room, everyone's expressions looked different.
His throat kept Jack from speaking any more for a while because he had indeed spoken many times tonight.
His injured cheek was slightly red, and one could still faintly see his throat sliding up and down.
It seemed that he was in pain right now.
He had told them everything that happened in the past.
James suppressed his anger, and snorted at Florence.
After that, he stood in front of Jack, bending down to support his shoulders. "Jack, how are you feeling? Let's go to the doctor first."
Hearing that, Florence turned on the spot. She narrowed her eyes, as if she had no intention of letting them go. "Wait, tonight..."
"What do you want?!" Alice turned and looked at her uncomfortably. "Can't you see Uncle Jack isn't feeling well? If you want to have a confrontation, you can do so at any time in the future. Why are you so aggressive? Do you not have a heart?!"
Alice isn't Indonesian, and she did not know Florence's history, which is commendable.
However, she, who has a bold personality, has been watching for so long, and she did not like this old lady.
It also causes her to speak angrily, even full of contempt and disdain.
This was the first time she had met someone so ignorant!
Relying on superior status, but having no conscience!
Alice's ridicule made the anger rise to Florence's face. "You stinky girl..."
"Madam Florence, think twice before you scold!" Chris, who was leaning against the wall, cut her off with his arm around his chest.
After that, he turned to Alice. "This is the daughter of the mayor of Parma. Maybe she will follow in her father's footsteps and enter politics in the future. Now that you're sticking your nose to curse her, maybe she'll remember this incident in the future. If you dare to act today, I'm afraid it will truly be the end of the Ricardo family!"
Chris uttered threatening rhetoric. While he was waiting at the door earlier, Clifford had told him about Alice's identity.
Otherwise, Alice wouldn't have defended Jack so impulsively. The identity of the people around Jean was truly extraordinary!
Alice and Glen, truly wonderful friends!
At this moment, Florence's rebuke was still on the corner of her lips, and she swallowed it out of a sudden.
She felt that Chris was lying to her, but Alice's arrogant face was clearly different from domestic ones, which still caused the old lady to feel jealous.
Seeing this, Alice sneered. As she walked to Lilia's side, her voice was not too loud as she said, "Lilia, since Uncle Jack hasn't been able to rest well these past few days, I'm accompanying him and can't go to play with you. Before leaving, my father told me that I should take good care of Jack. And if anyone dared to harm him, he would use all his strength to seek justice for Uncle Jack."
"Josh, my dad asked me to pass it on to you. With his political power, he has become the foreign minister and has reached an international friendly treaty alliance with your country. You are an honorary citizen of Parma, if there is a conflict, you can use the resources of my father and the city of Parma as you please."
As the words fell, an eerie silence could be felt in the room.
Tom listened to Alice's words blankly, feeling like he was in the wrong world, and subconsciously muttered. "That's amazing, Jean..."
Chris also looked at Alice in surprise. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. "If you had said these things earlier, I think Alfred would have knelt before you and begged for mercy!"
Florence. "..."
Alice pursed her lips, grabbed Lilia's arm and walked out the door.
There was no denying that the words she had just spoken were deliberately given to the old woman.
Scaring people with a bluff… Who doesn't want to!
Hopefully, this secret that she's thrown out doesn't reach her father's ears!
Before leaving, James looked at Florence, emphasizing every word. "The business of the Widjaya family and the Ricardo family is not over yet."
When the words fell, he turned around.
Everyone left the room one after another. Inside, Florence was left alone, standing with her baffled figure.
THe family's bodyguards who were standing at the door looked at each other and were both confused!
...
Due to Jack's health, the Widjaya family stopped arguing with the Ricardo family. Though only for temporary.
But that doesn't mean the problem is over.
After leaving the room, to make Jack feel better and to avoid the pain of walking, everyone decided to stay for a while and immediately took him to the guest room upstairs.
