Chapter 253

B―ut even if it was only her figure, Alice could tell with a glance that she was her adoptive parents.

She finally knew who the figure that had walked past her was. It was her adoptive father.

Zed and Anna were escorted over.

"Old John, the person has been brought over, it's the cake made by this husband and wife." The bodyguard said.

This time, before William could get angry, Old John threw the plate of food with the cake on it in front of them and shouted at them angrily, "What are you guys cooking? Causing me to lose face in front of Mr. Cullen! Get lost, get lost right now!"

Zed and Anna kept their heads down from beginning to end, not raising it at all. Hearing what said, the two of them lowered their heads and prepared to leave.

"It's easy to fire them alljust so" William said casually as he looked at Old John with disdain.

"That's right, Mr. Cullen is right. Miss Clyne has suffered." He pointed at the cake on the ground and roared at Zed: "You two, kneel down and pick up the cake and eat it!"

"What?"

Zed and Anna looked at Old in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Alice looked at them in shock. She then realized that Zed was even disguised, with a beard and turbid eyes. Anna's face was scarred, and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been beaten up everyday.

After not seeing each other for so long, her adoptive parents had actually become like this. They had even become servants.

She looked at William. This was probably the reason he brought her here today.

Humiliate her adoptive parents?

"What is it? You want to plead for them? "William cast a sidelong glance at Alice, and reached out to pull her into her embrace, "This is Old John's territory, so if he wants to reprimand his servants, I have no right to interfere."

Alice was silent as she pursed her lips.

None of the guests present were fools. Furthermore, Old John was not an idiot either, so they naturally heard the meaning behind William's words: they wanted him to punish the two cooks ruthlessly.

"Kneel! Eat it!"

The Old John roared towards Zed and Anna.

Zed stood there, looking at the adopted daughter who he had once disdained, now shining brightly and beautifully standing there, and the group of people were even bowing to her, causing him to be embarrassed and angry, revealing an embarrassed face, and said, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, and we will not stay in this place of yours!"

After saying that, just as Zed was about to leave, he was held down by the John Family bodyguard.

"You can eat it if I tell you to, lick the floor clean for me! This is such a disgrace to me!" Old John said, his tone extremely harsh.

The ground was littered with the remains of wolves and small cakes.

Anna saw that Zed was being pushed to his knees, and immediately begged, "Old John, I beg you, please let us live and, it was our fault, the food was not tasty, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I bowed to you."

As Anna said that, she looked at Alice.

Alice stood there, looking at the scar on her face, but in the end, she couldn't bear it t anymore. She stood beside William and said in a low voice, "Forget it, I already said that we should return to the bridge and return home. I don't want to teach them a lesson."

After all, it was just to support her for a bit.

She just wanted nothing to do with him.

"1 "You're being merciful to them? They never thought of you as their daughter. William lowered his eyes and stared at her, his gaze clouded. "Do you believe me?

As he spoke, William walked step by step in front of the two of them.

Zed was also a person who was used to the rain and the wind, but when he stood in front of William, he obviously lowered his body slightly, and knelt on the ground, with his head hidden.

"Mr. Cullen, I beg you, please let us go!"

Zed looked at William pleadingly.

William looked at them coldly, then let out a low laugh, "I'll let you off, okay. Hand over your daughter."

"Mr. Cullen!"

Hearing that, Anna knew what William's motive for coming here was. Instantly, his legs went soft, and he kneeled onto the ground.

"I don't have much patience. I'll give you ten seconds to consider."

William stood there, high up, and lowered his eyes to look at the watch on his wrist.

I don't know and start to countdown quietly, but then there was a group of nice people who all counted together: 8, 7, 6, 5.

Alice quietly stood there by herself, staring blankly at the adoptive parents who were kneeling on the ground.

Anna and Zed looked at each other with sorrow before the two of them kneeled on the ground and began to pick up the cake from the ground and put it in their mouths, eating it piece by piece and swallowing it.

Although the floor was clean, the action itself was humiliating.

Alice's eyes widened in shock. She took a step forward and wanted to stop them.

William's eyes flashed with a cold glint, he raised his arm to stop her, and whispered into her ear, "They are eating for Mary, do you think that they would eat all this for you?"

Alice was stunned.

The answer was naturally no.

No matter what Mary did wrong, her adoptive parents would always protect her.

"To Mary, they are parents. To you, they simply did not need to fulfill their responsibilities as parents." William said coldly, "Therefore, I forbid you from sympathizing with them anymore!"

William's words were harsh, but straightforward.

That's right, their actions towards Mary could be considered as their parents.

Alice stood there, looking at her adoptive parents with a dejected expression. The two of them knelt on the ground and continuously picked up the cakes and ate them, suffering from all the humiliation.

"They really do look like two dogs."

Some of the guests started chuckling, and then all the guests started laughing as well. There were even people taking pictures of them.

Anna cried as she ate the cake. She ate so much that her mouth bulged, and even her fake beard was about to fall off. Her face no longer had the arrogance she had in the Miller Group back then.

William looked towards Old John and gave him a look.

Old John immediately informed the lady beside him, "Clear the area, leave this place to Mr. Cullen, bring the guests to the upper floors to continue enjoying." "Alright."

The guests were invited out one by one.

In the golden hall of the banquet, the lights were bright. After all the Guests had left, there was only their group left.

Anna cried until her face was covered in tears, her eyes even redder.

"Eat the crumbs too! "Hurry up!"

One of the bodyguards kicked Zed, causing Zed's face to reveal his anger, but he could not do anything, maintaining his final bit of dignity, and not eat crumbs. The bodyguard kicked him several times.

"I'll eat, I'll eat, I'll eat," Anna hurriedly said when she saw them like this. She cried until she was out of breath, climbed onto the ground, picked up a handful of cake eggs and stuffed them into her mouth.

He was battered and exhausted.

Every movement was full of contempt.

Alice could not bear to watch any longer. She turned her head and did not look at them.

She wanted to sympathize with her adoptive mother, but when she thought about the scene where her adoptive mother drugged her and spouted nonsense at the press conference, she didn't want to speak anymore.

They were once again protecting Mary.

Seeing that Anna was eating so much, Zed decided to not eat anymore and just watched his wife eat by herself.

Anna finished all the cake on the ground and looked at William with tears streaming down his face, "Mr. Cullen, can we leave now?"

"Sure, plead my girlfriend." William glanced at Alice, "She allows you to leave, so that you can leave."

"Beg her?"

Zed kneeled on the ground in a daze. How could he possibly beg this little bastard?

"Stop talking." Anna lightly punched Zed, then kneeled on the ground and looked at Alice, "Alice, we'll eat the cake as well. Let us go, please, please..." Alice's eyes were moist, and she blinked, then turned to look at her, only to see that Anna's face was covered in scars.

Mary had said that her foster mother was being bullied by her foster father.

She looked at Zed, only to see him kneeling on the ground with an embarrassed face, pressed by the bodyguard. He turned his head and did not look at her, but there was still a strange haughtiness on his face.

Alice's gaze turned cold, "Foster father, aren't you begging me?"

Hearing this, Zed stared at her in disbelief, "You're dizzy, you little slut? You dare ask me to kneel to you?"

"Bam!"

After William heard this, he raised his leg and kicked Zed. Zed's chest received a kick and spit out a piece of cake, he roared coldly: Who are you calling slut?

You're courting death!"

"I..." Zed was beaten speechless.

The bodyguard stood at the side and shouted at Zed.

The orders of the Miss Clyne Since when did he want to beg his adopted daughter?

Zed stubbornly refused to speak.

Alice did not pay any more attention to Zed, and only looked at Anna and asked, "How did you come to the John Family's kitchen to work?"

She had calculated that Mary's money would make up for her hole, even if it was just a little bit more, and Mary would still be alright after selling those famous bags, clothes and houses.

Zed was someone who had worked in the upper echelons before, and Anna was a housewife. The two of them had never thought they would actually fall to working in the kitchen for someone else.

Where's the money? Where did he go?

"We..." Anna had difficulty speaking.

Seeing her actions, Alice did not pursue further and asked, "Where is Mary?"

"Alice, why is it that even you have to force your own sister?" Anna stared at her blankly, while still kneeling on the ground.

"Do you know what Mary has done? I spared her time and time again, but she kept trying to humiliate me to death! " Alice said somewhat excitedly.

"There's no need to ask them, let's go!"

William's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Alice turned her head towards him in confusion. She grabbed her hand and walked out, and Zed and Anna standing there, stunned.

After leaving the John family, there was already a car waiting outside.

"Where are we going now?" Alice asked in shock as she was pushed into the carriage by William.

"Looking for Mary."

William said coldly and sat down.

"You found her?" Alice was stunned. Ever since the incident at Palace, they had disappeared without a trace. There were no channels to find them.

Now they found it.
