Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Turning to the other side, Waverly took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. "Hello, who is this?"

As she spoke, Waverly pretended to have a weak voice. As expected, she immediately heard a strange voice that had been altered using a voice changer. "You don't sound too good. Are you worried about your husband? Do you want to save him?"

"Who are you?" It was definitely someone she knew. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to change their voice.

"I'm sure you know how to save him."

With that subtle hint, Waverly instantly understood. "Franklin!" It really was him! Even if his injuries weren't completely fake, they had to be exaggerated.

The other party did not admit it, but did not deny it, either.

"At 3 p.m., go shopping in the supermarket. Bring a book and choose cabinet number 06. Put the item into the book and put them both into the cabinet. Don't try to play any tricks, or you'll have to collect your husband's body!"

"Hold on!" Waverly exclaimed anxiously.

She repeated the plan that she had already laid out in her mind.

"How can I know that this isn't a trap on your part? Besides, how can I know if you're actually the person himself instead of someone trying to impersonate him? No matter who you are, don't treat me like a fool. I won't make a move until I can be completely certain! It's true that I'm worried about Wyatt, but I'm not completely powerless. Besides, God is always fair. There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world. We're righteous people who don't fear the dark. If you want to talk, then be open about it. Let's meet up at a public place. We shouldn't scheme against each other. I'm not going to some sketchy, deserted place. Don't bother trying to talk to me otherwise."

Waverly knew very well that she had to take the initiative.

"Are you kidding-"

The man's voice had obviously grown colder. Immediately after, Waverly hung up directly. Since the formula was so important to him, she was certain that he would compromise. If Wyatt couldn't wait, then neither could he. The longer they waited, the worse things would get for both parties.

Waverly's heart was also beating erratically. She clutched her phone tightly in an attempt to maintain her calmness and rationality. She had to stay calm.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, her phone lit up again. Suddenly, a faint smile formed on Waverly's lips. She calmly answered, but did not make a sound. As expected, she heard a compromising tone.

"You win! We'll meet at 3 p.m. Where exactly do you want to meet?"

She bit her lower lip lightly and gave her reply.

"Let's meet at the scenic spot across the fountain from the south. There's a stele there. We can go somewhere quieter depending on how many people are there when the time comes."

As long as nothing unexpected occurred, there would not be many people in the place where the stele was at a time like that. However, there were shops behind the flowerbeds on both sides. She had checked the location and found that there were surveillance cameras.

Her words were not very firm, but they seemed to give the other party reassurance. "Okay!"

Seth saw what was going on when he turned around. He stood there stunned for

a long time without interrupting. When he confirmed that Waverly had hung up the phone, he spoke up.

"What's going on, Waverly?"noveldrama

Waverly glanced at her watch before responding.

"Seth, you'll have to follow me to a public place later. It's about Wyatt. I need to make some preparations. Prepare a car for me. I'll tell you what's happening on the way there!"

After asking everyone to leave, Waverly went upstairs with her phone and called Trevor.

"Master Trevor, I would like to ask for your help. I need a very professional paparazzi. I'll need their services this afternoon. Before 3 p.m., they have to go to a certain spot and secretly take pictures from the moment I show up until I leave. The closer they are, the clearer the better. It would be better if they can take pictures from various angles. The most important thing is that they have to stay hidden the whole time."

After everything was prepared, Waverly carefully changed her clothes and bags. After dealing with the keychain, she simplified it and hung it on her mobile phone. After everything was ready, she checked everything from beginning to end and then went downstairs.

They arrived at the location ten minutes in advance. Waverly asked Seth to park the car on the side of the road before they walked over. She did not forget to continuously remind him on the way there.

"Wait for me at the side, Mr. Rahman. Remember what I said. No matter what you see, don't come over until I call your name! Even if I'm killed, you can't move! This is related to saving Wyatt!"

"What kind of person are you meeting, Waverly? Tell me so that I have an idea of what is going on! Don't be so cryptic. Wyatt won't spare me if someone takes a single hair off your head!" Seth exclaimed.

How could he just stand by and watch? If he did that, Wyatt was going to beat him to death.

Waverly turned around and gave him a serious look.

"The person Franklin has sent might be Franklin himself! I'm here to negotiate with him. I told you to follow me to let him know that I'm not alone so that he wouldn't dare to make any rash moves."

It was also to make Franklin lower his guard. If she took the risk to come alone, she was afraid that Franklin would be suspicious.

"It doesn't matter how the negotiation turns out. Based on my understanding of him, not to mention that there's some history between us, I can think of a way to remedy it or stir up trouble. However, if you take action, it's very likely that things will go downhill or even fail completely. Do you understand?"

Afraid that Seth's reaction would spoil her master plan, Waverly looked at him seriously before continuing to speak.

"Even if we find conclusive evidence, we can't necessarily win, especially

when we're still in a state of confusion. Wyatt is still locked Negative press and speculations alone are already a huge hit to Sky Success Group. Sky Success Group has only just gained its footing. If its position is shaken up at a time like this, it will be devastating for the company. That's why if Franklin is willing to make peace with us and clarify the situation right now, that will be the best-case scenario for us. It'd be ideal for us to get things over with quickly and decisively. Besides, nothing too excessive will happen while we're in public. If necessary, I will call you right away!"

Seth admired Waverly's meticulous attitude and courage. He nodded respectfully.

"I understand, Waverly. I will do as you say. You must be careful!"

Then, the two of them continued to move forward. At the periphery of the square, they saw the stone tablet. Waverly told Holger to stop. Before going any further, she did not forget to give Holger a few reminders. She stood in front of the stone tablet and slowly circled around it.

Although she had a clear view of the place, because of the square's design and what the crowd was doing, not only did the square appear lively, but there were obviously many hidden spots or open spots for observation. Franklin might have come earlier than her and was observing her somewhere!

That was the reason why had she brought Seth with her, but also called Trevor in advance and got him to send someone who had to know who she was without being acquainted with her. That was the safest method.

She was slightly swaying as she took light footsteps around the stele. Waverly also clutched her forehead, holding the keychain in her hand? with ambiguous intent. While she was thinking about how to deal with it, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her. The man was wearing sportswear all over. He had a pair of glasses on, clear black spots on his face, and he had a full beard. When he spoke, his tone fluctuated.

"Where is it?"

The stranger's voice was familiar. She looked the man up and down several times. The more Waverly eyed him, the more shocked she was. When she inadvertently caught sight of the open-fingered sports gloves he was wearing, she had a realization.

"Franklin?"

Her questioning tone was full of obvious certainty. The man's eyes darkened and

his lips pursed up. He did not make a sound, but Waverly could see his subtle movements clearly.

It was him!

It must be him!

His injuries were definitely hidden.

He was willing to disguise himself just to show up in person, which showed how important that thing was to him.

"Give it to me and I won't disturb your life in the future. I can even guarantee that I

will do everything in my ability to stop the people around me from bothering you ever again. Waverly-"

Looking at her intently, Franklin's voice suddenly softened. "Just treat it as a favor to me."

He really had no other choice this time around.

Seeing the wronged look on his face and how hypocritical he was being, Waverly wanted to give him two slaps to the face. Fury flashed in her eyes. Waverly said, "I already told you that I don't have what you want. What chip? If I had it, I would have given it to you long ago. What's the use of that damn thing to me? My husband, who I've just gotten married to, is rich, tall, and

handsome. He's gentle and

considerate, and he's the most

important person to me."

All of a sudden, Franklin's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by needles, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. Just gotten married to? Gentle and considerate? Was she pointing out how different Franklin was compared to

Wyatt?

In the face of his ex-lover, his heart suddenly gave birth to an indescribable emotion.

"Don't talk nonsense, then. Otherwise, this game will never end. Even if you are lucky enough to get him out, there will be more incidents like this. Waverly, there are many people you care about. There's no way you'll always get lucky. I can't

guarantee that I'll miss my target every single time-" Waverly huffed in anger and began roaring.

"Franklin, you shameless b*stard! I already told you. I don't have it! What do you

want me to give you? If you don't believe me, you can look for it. Go ahead, look. Take everything! Take it all with you. Go look for it on your own! I told you that I don't have it. I don't even know what the thing you want looks like. How can I give

it to you?"

Waverly pretended to be agitated and shouted. She even threw the bag on his body and grabbed his clothes. She started dragging and slamming the end of her phone. Her violent movements caused the keychain hanging on it to hit the screen and smack against its glass casing.

"Why are you making things difficult for me? Don't touch my family! I don't have it!

I really don't! What can I give you? Why do you make things so difficult for me?" Seth's eyes were filled with anxiety as he noticed what was happening. What was going on? Did the negotiation fail?
