Chapter 122 She Was Looking for Me At the Notman familyâs old house. After having dinner with Old Master Notman, William accompanied him to play a few. games of chess. âYou have always been rational and calm. This time, why are you letting Alexander be like this?â After playing a few games, Old Master Notman stroked his beard and asked softly. âWhen it comes to relationships, he always runs away if he canâ William said with a faint smile.
âThat girl has been chasing him for three or four years, but he never responded at all. Now he finally made a decision.â âAs his uncle, why donât I support him?â âJust that?â âYou can fool others, but you canât fool me,â the old man said with a smile. âI sent someone to investigate,â the old man said with a faint sigh. âThis girl experienced some bad things last night,â the old man said. âAlexander married her because he wanted her to have a backer in the future, right?â âWith her profession, the love and evaluation of the audience are very important.â âAlthough not many people know about her news online, if the news leaks out in other ways, it will be a fatal blow to her.â âEven if she has earned some money from filming these years, there are many things that money canât handle.â âI really canât hide anything from you.â The man smiled helplessly. Sherry had no power or influence. Even if she had money, most of the time, money did not represent everything. If the news of her being raped last night were to spread, it would be a devastating blow to her and her future career. But if she became a member of the Notman family, then everything would be different.
The Notman family was Banyan Cityâs number one power. After she married Alexander, no matter who it was, when reporting Sherryâs bad news, they had to think carefully whether they could afford to offend the Notman family. This was also the reason why William did not stop Alexander and even supported him

Chapter 122 She was looking for! However, William did not expect that Old Master Notman would be able to guess his real purpose in an instant.
As expected, the old man was a fount of wisdom.
âWhen are you going to announce your relationship with my daughter-in-law?â the old man asked, stroking his beard with a smile.
âI think my daughter-in-law is quite popular on the Internet recently.â
âLetâs wait a little longer.â
âShe doesnât like to make it public, so I wonât make it public for now,â William said with a doting smile.
âBesides, she doesnât have anything to be caught by others.â âShe doesnât have the trouble like Sherry, so itâs better to have less trouble. If outsiders do not know that she is my wife, she might live a more comfortable life.â
âYouâve only been married a short time and youâre spoiling her so much. I wonder how she will be spoiled by you in the future.â Old Master Notman shook his head helplessly âAs long as she wants to, I will spoil her for life.â
Old Master Notman, ââ¦â
He was surprised.
He never thought that his son, who had always been as dumb as an oyster, would actually speak such sweet words!
Just as the two were teasing each other, Williamâs phone rang.
It was Mary calling. He stood up and went to the side to answer the phone. âWhy are you calling at this time?â
bus
Old Master Notman looked at Williamâs tall back and carefully replaced the chess pieces on the chessboard.
âI have something to tell you.â âCan you come back?â Mary snuffled on the other side of the line. âIt⦠Itâs a very important thing.â âOf course, if you donât want to come backâ¦â the woman said timidly. âIâll go back now.â âWait for me at home.â William said in a low voice.
The man hung up the phone. Behind him, the white-haired old man was still holding Williamâs chess piece in his

hand.
He was caught red-handed.
The old man smiled at William in embarrassment. âYour chess piece⦠It seems to be dirty.â
William was amused by his childish actions. âSince the chess pieces are dirty, let the servant clean them up.â He walked over and picked up the coat placed beside the chessboard. âI still have something to do.
Iâll be leaving first.â
âDidnât you say that there was no work to do in the afternoon?â Old Master Notman asked, looking a little sad.
âI did have no work this afternoon.â
âBut your daughter-in-law wants me to go back now,â the man said as he elegantly buttoned up the cuffs of his shirt.
âSheâs looking for me. I have to go home.â âSo you stood your father up?â âYes.â
He paid no heed to the fact that the old man was aggrieved and even rubbed salt into the wound. âYou have been my father for twenty-eight years. She has only been my wife for more than a month.â
âOld love is better than new love. She is new now.â
ââ¦â Old Master Notman. âAre you sure this analogy is appropriate?â âAbout the same.â William glanced at Old Master Notman indifferently. âI hope that the next time we play chess together, you will learn to win me fair and square, and not by repentance.â Old Master Notman, ââ¦â
When William returned home, Mary was still lying on the bed in the bedroom, staring blankly at the ceiling. She still did not know how to explain it to William. But it was absolutely impossible for her to not explain. William would know sooner or later. Instead of waiting for him to find out, it was better for her to bring these things to him and show him everything.
Chopte: 122 She Wat lookmolo!
The most important thing between husband and wife was honesty and trust, wasnât
it?
Suddenly, there was the sound of a car stopping downstairs. Mary quickly put on her slippers and went downstairs. When she reached the door, she saw the stack of photos on the bedside table. She took a deep breath and finally put the photos in her pocket and went downstairs. In the living room downstairs, William had just entered and was hanging his coat on the coat rack at the door.
âYouâre back.â
Mary pursed her lips and carefully went downstairs. William nodded lightly and turned to sit down on the sofa.
He leaned back with his hands on the armrest of the sofa, and his two long legs crossed elegantly. He looked at her and chuckled. âCome here.â Williamâs voice was low and pleasant, with a doting taste that one could not ignore. Mary blushed and carefully walked over and sat down beside him. Before she could even sit properly, she was pressed down on the sofa by him. He pressed her between the sofa and him, and his thin lips suddenly moved closer. âWhy are you in such a hurry to let me come back? Did you miss me?â His ambiguous attitude made Mary speechless all of a sudden. After a while, the woman took a deep breath, took out the stack of photos from her pocket, and put them in Williamâs hand. âGary just came and gave me these photos and my motherâs jade pendant.â âBut, he wants us to let Elena off.â
William looked at the photos. As he flipped through them one by one, his frown deepened.
