Chapter 658

Alice patted her back and said, "Father has also put in a lot of effort. He only hopes that Mother will live a good life after he dies."

"Maybe most of the reason why father raised a double was because he wanted mother to have a concern for him and would not collapse because of his death." Alice continued.

Elizabeth's body was shaking violently.

"I should have been nicer to him then. I could have been nicer to him." Elizabeth choked on her sobs, her face was full of tears. "Why couldn't I have understood him earlier, why didn't he tell me earlier, we could have led a better life together." Alice stood quietly at the side, looking at her.

In the next second, Elizabeth leaned on her body and threw herself into her embrace, crying non-stop. She cried like a young child.

Alice allowed Elizabeth to lean on her body and cry. She gently patted her back to comfort her, "Mother, you can't change the past, but as long as you live a good life and are happy in the future, father won't feel guilty towards you."

"Yes."

Elizabeth replied as she choked with sobs.

Hearing this, Alice heaved a sigh of relief. Elizabeth had always had an obsession with Master Cullen, she didn't hesitate to live by what Master Cullen had told her.

Now, Elizabeth knew that Master Cullen actually loved her a lot. This grudge in her heart should have been dissipated, she should be able to live for herself for a long time.

For a long time.

Charles's figure appeared at the door of the study room. Seeing Elizabeth crying like that, he became stunned: "Madam, Madam, the engagement ceremony is about to begin, aren't you going?"

Engagement ceremony.

It all depended on her now.

She had already thought of all the methods she could think of. If Elizabeth still could not think it through, what should she do?

"Engagement?" Elizabeth was startled and repeated the word. She then looked at Alice, "Alice, David doesn't want to get married, right?"

"Doesn't Mother know?" Alice said, "Back then, it was because Big Brother couldn't stand the pressure his father gave him that he became a deserter. Now, he says that he was willing to follow Father's path, how is that possible?"

"Then what should we do?" Elizabeth blurted out as she frowned.

Charles stood there looking at them in surprise. Since when did Madam trust Alice so much?

Alice looked at Elizabeth and did not say a word.

Elizabeth stood up from the chair, looked at Alice and said, "We can't let David get married, Alice."

"Mother?"

Alice looked at her in astonishment.

"I can't let my son continue to follow his father's path. He could inherit Cullen Family whenever he likes."

Hearing this, Alice smiled and looked at Elizabeth, she said, "Mother, are you willing to let big bro live his own life?"

"How can I not love my son?" Elizabeth said. She folded the paper on the table and carefully put it back into the book, then said, "My husband only wants me to live a comfortable life, as long as my sons enjoy their lives, I will feel comfortable. I do not value honor that much."

"Mother, you've finally thought it through."

Alice said. Elizabeth had thought it through, this big lie had finally played its best role.

Elizabeth reached out to wipe her tears and said anxiously: "Charles, quickly prepare the car, we will go to the scene, call David, quickly."

With that, Elizabeth walked out.

Alice stood there as she looked at the book on the table.

Everything was just a lie. Elizabeth was deceived, she did not know that William had already sought out some of the elders in Cullen Family.

Under all kinds of coercion and enticement, they assembly all pieces of information from those few old men: Master Cullen was a man with only ambition, he was extremely cold towards his marriage and did not have any desires. He just chose Elizabeth as his wife in a list of candidates.

Their first meeting was also arranged by him.

Perhaps, even Elizabeth falling in love with him was a impeccable plan of his.

In order to have Elizabeth and her family support him wholeheartedly, Master Cullen had never cheated her.

Also, back then, Elizabeth's health was not well, so Master Cullen was worried that she would not be pregnant. In the end, he even got someone to concoct a medicine to promote the birth of the baby, and after that, with two sons, he was no longer worried about the heir, so she did not ask Elizabeth to continue having babies.

It could be said that Master Cullen had plotted against Elizabeth for the rest of his life.

If Elizabeth were to know these secrets, she would not even dare to imagine what she would become.

"In your entire life, have you never regretted plotting against a woman who loves you so much?"

Alice said as she closed the book. She let out a sigh and closed the book before putting it back on the shelf. Then she turned around and left the study.

This was a white lie-forcefully modifying the last wishes of a deceased person, so that the whole family would live in peace.

She was right.

At least everything was becoming better.

Nothing better than this.

Alice raised her leg and walked out. She wiped Elizabeth's tears on her skirt with a tissue, then walked out of the ancient castle. There were a few cars parked and the door of the car was opened.

Charles stood in front of the car and anxiously made the call.

Alice walked over to the car. Elizabeth was sitting in the car and there was someone helping her fix her makeup, but when she saw Alice getting on, Elizabeth immediately pulled her hand and anxiously said, "Alice, quickly call William."

"What's wrong?"

Alice asked.

"David didn't answer." Elizabeth said, "The engagement ceremony is about to begin."

"Alright."

Alice nodded, she took out her phone and called William, but the result was the same, no one picked up the phone, she frowned, "No one picks it up, what should I do? It will be troublesome to cancel the marriage after the engagement." Why didn't William pick up the phone?

Elizabeth finally thought it through, but he did not pick up the phone. What should she do?

Elizabeth dropped makeup artist's hand and said, "Let's hurry over. It would be best for us to discuss it with the Bush family before the ceremony, in case things get out of hand."

With that, the car slowly drove forward.

Alice looked at her, "It's fine, mother, everything will be fine. The two brothers will definitely be extremely happy to see you like this."

Elizabeth sat there and looked at her. With a smile, she said sincerely, "Thank you, Alice."

If it wasn't for Alice, she would still be conflicted. Perhaps this dilemma would be brought to her grave.

Alice smiled.

"Do you know that I feel like a stone that was on my heart has been moved away." Elizabeth smiled at her and pulled her over, "This is all because of you, thank you. Sure enough, it's only women who understand women. My two sons never know what I'm thinking."

Elizabeth thanked her twice in a row.

Alice sat beside her and finally understood why William insisted on asking her to talk about this with Elizabeth.

"But they love you, no doubt about it." Alice said.

"Yes." Elizabeth nodded as she looked at her lovingly. She reached out to touch her face and said, "Alice, I apologize to you after slaping you the other day."

"I understand that you were in a state of excitement."

"Good child, the past is over. Mother will not treat you like that in the future." Elizabeth smiled and said, but there was still a bit of tears in her eyes.

After talking to Alice for a while, she couldn't help but say, "He's really thinking for my sake. That is to say, when he was sick, he acted so calm, he must be afraid of me being worried, right?"

Alice was a little sad to hear it, "It must be so."

"I never knew."

Elizabeth repeated this sentence for the whole journey.

The manor was filled with flowers and balloons, the bodyguards were guarding the gate, guests was chatting on the lawn outside the church, and the children were playing with the balloons.

It was a lively and festive atmosphere.

Upstairs, David was leaning on the railing. He bent over and looked at the altar in the distance. His eyes remained indifferent with his ten fingers crossed under his chin.

As he watched, David's expression became extremely ugly.

God, you don't have to bless his marriage.

William walked down the stairs with his mobile phone in hand and looked at the caller ID. He reached out and hung up.

William walked towards David and coldly said, "It's just a engagement ceremony, you made it seem like you were getting married."

Hearing William's voice, David immediately released his hand, turned and looked at him, "Isn't your engagement ceremony held in the church?"

"Of course I have to use one with the highest quality to get engaged with Alice." William stood beside him and looked down at the stage, sneering: "Is that ugly woman worthy of you?"

Ugly like that and demanding so much.

"She's not that ugly. Don't talk about this." David said.

"You think she's good-looking?"

William looked at him coldly.

"She's going to be my wife." David said. If he had to shoulder the burden of the Cullen Family, he had to consider the issues left behind by his father.

That Miss Joanna knew clearly that it was just an arranged marriage.

"Will you kiss her?"

William asked straightforwardly.
