When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1904 A White Lie

"It wasn't just that he was a sleazy guy, but also a criminal. Moments ago, he tried to force a girl into his car. Who knows what he was planning?" Charlotte remarked from the side.

"I'll go see who this person is." Darren furrowed his brows. Daring to stir up trouble on my turf, is he tired of living? The most important thing is that he even flirted with Madeline! This is absolutely intolerable!

Darren summoned the manager and requested that he pull up the surveillance footage to ascertain the individual's identity.

Within less than ten minutes, he had managed to uncover Alec's background and identity.

A phone call was then made to the Leighton residence.

Meanwhile, after rushing home, Chelsea discovered that her parents were sitting perfectly fine on the couch.

She was exasperated. "Did you guys just trick me?"

"Would you have come back if we didn't trick you?" Phoebe was somewhat displeased. "Come here. We have set up a few more dates for you."

The moment Chelsea thought of her blind date, Alec, she lost her temper. She raised her voice to say, "I've said it before, haven't I? No more blind dates! Do you have any idea what happened to me today?"

Phoebe asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"I almost got caught up with that blind date you guys set up for me, Alec..."

Chelsea found it hard to finish her sentence.

Sensing that something was amiss, Phoebe immediately rushed to her daughter's side, gently probing for the cause.

Only then did Chelsea gradually reveal it to them.

Upon hearing that his daughter had been nearly taken advantage of by Alec, Kingston was filled with fury.

"That b*stard!" Kingston clenched his fists tightly.

His precious daughter, whom he'd raised since she was a child, had nearly fallen into the jaws of danger.

"Dear, how did you manage to come back?" asked Phoebe.

"A few young ladies saved me," Chelsea responded.

"Who were they? We must express our gratitude to them." Phoebe still felt a lingering fear in her heart. After

all, no one knew what could've ngon happened if Alec had forcibly taken Chelsea away.

Chelsea informed them that one of the individuals was Cecilia, and the other

women were likely Cecilia's close friends.

"Cecilia? Nathaniel's wife?" asked Phoebe.

"Yes." Chelsea nodded emphatically.

"We must thank them."

After Phoebe had finished speaking,

she turned to Kingston and said,

"You were the one who found Alec,

right? Stop looking for other

candidates. We're putting our

daughter at risk."

Kingston was also somewhat regretful. "I really didn't expect it. One shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

Kingston had thought that Alec seemed quite sincere and had a decentnoveldrama

appearance. Little did he know that the latter was all glitter and no gold.

After that incident, the two didn't dare to set up any more dates for Chelsea. They decided to let her rest well, assuring her that they would handle the matter.

Chelsea returned to her own room afterward.

Once she reached the bedroom and lay down, she still found her heart fluttering with lingering fear.

She truly didn't expect to encounter such an incident upon returning to Tudela. Alec was simply taking advantage of her lack of brothers.

Chelsea heaved a deep sigh, pulling out her phone in search of Cecilia's contact information.

If it hadn't been for Cecilia and the others stepping in that day, Chelsea would have truly been ruined.

That same night, at the Leighton residence, Duncan Leighton received calls from Darren and Chelsea's father, one after another.

He was livid, leaving Alec kneeling outside.

The cold wind was howling, causing Alec to shiver uncontrollably from the chill.

"Dad, I was just thinking about the Leighton family's best interests. It's clear that Chelsea won't marry me easily. We have to employ some tactics, don't we?” Alec argued.

Duncan stepped out, aiming a kick straight at his chest.
