Chapter 402

"He's not mine anymore." He would hold another woman in his arms and kiss her. Everything had nothing to do with me.

She burst into tears.

Like a child who had lost a precious treasure, she cried uncontrollably.

Beverly felt her heart ache, she held her tightly and lightly patted her back. She was no longer as resolute as she was before, "Alice, you have never told me about this before. Then, if William is really as good as you say, why don't we discuss this with your father and ask his help for you to marry him? In the past, Cullen family looked down on you because you didn't have any background.

Even though she wasn't very satisfied, her daughter's happiness was more important.

Alice leaned against her chest and shook her head. She did not say anything and only shook her head while crying.

She couldn't win it over.

She was too worried to fight for anything.

"Are you worried that the Brown Family will be humiliated in front of the Cullen family? It doesn't matter, the reason why the Brown Family did all of this was for the next generation. I believe that your father is the same. Beverly said while embracing Alice.

Alice still shook her head, and said as she swallowed, "Mother, everything has been decided."

It can't be changed.

"But you ..." Beverly could not finish her words.

After a long while, Alice sat up straight from her embrace, and revealed a smile with great difficulty, "Mother, I'm crying because I lost the person that I love the most, but I don't regret it."

"Aren't you very conflicted like this?"

Beverly asked curiously.

Maybe she will have a try. But it was the best she could do.

Other than that, she didn't know what else she could do to protect everyone she cared about.

On the day that they were completely separated from each other, the sky was blue, and the air was especially fresh. The Kathy in the baby carriage looked at the blue sky and occasionally let out bursts of laughter.

The Cullen family and Lancaster family's engagement ceremony were made into an international event by the media.

The news came in all directions, even Mona who went out to design or chose a dress occupied the headlines.

Time never stops due to a person's emotions.

The engagement ceremony approached day by day.

Mona was immersed in the happiness of getting engaged every day, to the point where he had to take care of all the crown and accessories.

"Miss Mona, I think you will be the prettiest bride in the world."

After helping Mona put on her makeup, her personal image designer said this, full of praise.

Mona sat there and looked at herself in the mirror. She had the most beautiful golden hair and the most outstanding face.

The N.E. Group was still busy, but the CEO had been busy preparing for the engagement ceremony recently, she did not push everyone too much, everyone was grateful that William was getting engaged.

William had a stubborn personality disorder.

Other than having a bad temper and being easily angered by jealousy, the biggest symptom he had was that he was too picky of everything.

In the bright living room, the caricatures on the wall were mixed with sadness and happiness. The crystal on the bead curtain reflected the heroic figure on the sofa in the distance, blurring it completely.

"No, this is too ugly. No, this is too unstylish. No, this color is ridiculous. "This won't do. Redesign it and bring another batch over for me to see tomorrow!" William sat on the sofa and threw out the pieces of clothing design he was holding, his face full of displeasure, "Can you find a good designer?"

"Yes, young master."

Daniel nodded silently and lowered his body to pick them up one by one.

While William and Mona were busy preparing for the engagement ceremony, Alice's cartoon "Sea Tower" was simultaneously released online.

Therefore, Alice was extremely busy every day.

Every day, she would speak the same words as she did every day.

Perhaps because they knew that the nobleman engagement ceremony was different from other people, the media knew that there was no longer any charm between William and her. Gradually, they didn't run over to Alice and asked her about William's marriage.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

After Alice followed the crew to advertise everything, she bowed deeply to the people below and then turned to leave.

Once she entered the stage, Anna immediately called her. Alice pressed the center of her brows tiredly, and asked into her phone: "Manager Anna, do you have any other instructions?"

"Isn't it for your own good that I kept you busy?" Anna said from the other side, "When your love is disappointed, you have to be proud of our work, right?"

Anna had purposely arranged so much work for Alice. In the days before William's engagement ceremony, she had made her busy to the point that she had no time to read any newspapers or news.

"I know that you are doing this for my own good, but I have not returned to San Francisco for many days to visit Kathy."

How old was the Kathy? As her mother, she ran all over the place to advertise.

"Ah, I'll let you go home and look after your baby for a few days after a while of work, okay?" Anna said, then excitedly said, "Alice, doesn't it feel good to be proud of your career? You are now ranked second in the whole rankings, not because of your private life, but because of your work!"

The number one on the hottest search leaderboard was William's engagement ceremony. No one could suppress him in such a big matter, it couldn't be helped.

"On what basis?"

Alice walked out of the backstage and stopped a taxi, stating her hotel address. She went to this strange city and stayed in a strange hotel. She was too tired to visit the local scenery and would go back to the hotel as soon as the advertisement was over.

"It was' The Sea Tower'. I think my vision was really limited at that time. Some people posted your' Sea Tower 'onto Twitter and called it a deep awakening spiritual soup. In the end, it became popular!" Anna said excitedly, "Right now, the Spirit Chicken Soup is running wild, everyone is vomiting because of disgust. Your kind of dark words are actually like a clear stream, who knows how many people are chasing after you?"

"Is that so?"

Alice sat in the taxi and smiled faintly.

The Sea Tower is inspired by the dark phrases of the time it was imprisoned in England.

"Yeah, I've already received notifications from the major websites and other domestic comics awards for your works!" Anna was extremely emotional, suddenly her words changed, "Alice, you really want to seal the brush?"

When Alice agreed to run away to advertise, she said that she wanted to seal the brush.

"Yes, I think I should return to being the main family and take good care of Kathy in the future."

Alice said casually.

She had to withdraw from William's life, so she had to withdraw even these things. Once time had passed and he could no longer hear her name, he would slowly forget about her.

"But your current career is going up in a period that has never been seen before. Aren't you regretful that you're going up in a period that has never been done before?" Anna asked.

Regret?

Right now, she was facing a truth that could be exposed at any time. At that time, whether or not she would be able to survive by luck was questionable. It would be better to spend more time accompanying her family.

"Anna, I know you've spent a lot of effort on me, don't worry. Even if I have to seal the brush, I will do a good job in promoting you, so that you won't spend even a little bit of your effort on me." Alice said.

Not wanting anything, she chose to face what would happen in the future alone.

"Gosh, I can't persuade you. I don't know why, but I feel that you have become especially tired after returning to your country. Perhaps, you really need to rest." Anna sighed.

"Yeah, I won't tell you for now, I'm almost at the hotel."

Alice looked outside and said, and then hung up.

The taxi stopped on the road in front of the five-star hotel. Alice took out her wallet to pay for the taxi.

Alice looked ahead in shock. The driver, who was around 30 years old, smiled at her, 'Tm always reciting. I really like your << Sea Tower)) very much.

Alice was stunned for a second, then smiled and nodded: "Ok."

"Thank you." The driver smiled like a 16 years old girl; her eyes filled with admiration for her. "I just heard your phone call, so please don't seal your pen. We are all waiting for your new work."

Alice laughed bitterly and got down from the car door.

She was about to head for the Grand Hotel when she caught sight of something else.

Alice turned her head, and saw a black car speeding towards her, its speed was extremely fast, without any hesitation, it was speeding towards her direction.

Alice panicked and quickly ran to the side. The car immediately turned around and chased after her.

Her eyes widened in shock as she held her breath. In that split-second, she wasn't even able to react.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her from behind. Alice was pulled behind a tree as her feet twisted in pain.

"Bam."

A flurry of movements.

The car drove past the big trees, its tires skidding on the ground as it sped off into the distance, quickly disappearing from Alice's line of sight.

Alice looked into the distance with lingering fear in her heart, only turning her head two seconds later, only to see Patrick standing behind her, tall and slender, with a pair of worried eyes looking at her. His face was filled with nervousness, and his hands were tightly grasping her arms.

Leon was standing not far behind him.

"Chase!"

Patrick looked at Leon.

"Yes, Young Master Miller." The Leon immediately drove towards the car.

"Thousand Creations?"

Alice looked at him in shock. In the next second, she was carried by Patrick into his embrace, and her leg touched him again.

Patrick pulled her into his embrace, and tightly held her in his arms. "You scared me to death."

On the street, she could clearly hear his violent heartbeat and appeared exceptionally nervous as she leaned on his chest. Patrick held her very tightly, his breathing was even more hurried than her, his hands that held her were trembling.
