Chapter 366

His intuition as the younger brother?

"What did you find out?" Alice asked, speaking of her brother's death, she had a bad premonition.

"I had someone secretly search his room and found the butler and the servant that followed him. It turns out that my intuition was right."

He did not even arrange for Daniel or those close to him to do this, because he could not let the Cullen Family know about this secret.

He could only investigate in secret.

"Do you mean that your brother's death is related to my brother?"

Since he said it like that, Alice could only think of this one possibility.

"The Cullen Family, including me, have always thought that my brother died in a car accident." William paused here for a moment, his face looked gloomy under the white gauze, and a moment later he continued, "But there is a branchroad, one leading to our agreed location and the other leading to another place. That day, my brother was prepared to go see him first and then me." Alice covered her lips, she was shocked to the point that she couldn't say a word.

How could this be?

It was like fate.

David was dead, York was dead.

"I don't know if they met that day, but my brother got into a car accident in order to rush for appointments on both sides." Speaking of the car accident, William's hand that was resting on her leg trembled.

Alice could feel his fingertip trembling, but she did not push him away.

She was shocked by the truth.

She kept guessing why William wanted to break up with her and why he didn't even want to see her face. Now, all her doubts had been explained.

However, she could not accept this answer. She felt very uncomfortable. "Originally, Mona did not know that much, but after a moment of mistake, she eavesdropped on me." William said.

"So she threatened you to stay with her?" Alice asked dumbfoundedly.

"She doesn't have the guts, and she knows that. If she pushes me too hard, she'll die."

William said in disdain, and then said again after being silent for a while, "But now that I think about it, at that time, she had always been trying to brainwash me, trying to make me believe that I couldn't accept you, that I couldn't be with you." Brainwashing.

It was really a professional approach for psychiatrists.

It was a brilliant move.

In fact, he was conflicted in his heart. At that time, he couldn't accept her existence from the bottom of his heart and couldn't accept the fact that she and his younger brother looked almost exactly the same.

Alice laughed bitterly, and reached out her hand to touch her own arm. Her fingers were extremely cold, "I didn't think that so many things would happen at that time, I thought you and Mona would..."

"You think I'm really in love with that woman?" William scoffed, "She's so ugly, she's not even ten percent as beautiful as you. How could I possibly fancy her!?"

Mona wasn't ugly, she had blonde hair and blue eyes, she was a standard beauty.

And it was only in the eyes of the paranoia that Mona was ugly.

Alice sat there and did not move, she did not know what to say, but she felt her entire body turned cold.

She looked at the phone in his hand and thought about what he had just said. How could it be like this?

How could there be such a sad fact.

"I'm done!" William said, "You know everything now."

"Why didn't you let me know in the first place?" Alice looked at him, and said with a bitter voice, "Why did you have to hide it from me until now? Is it for your brother?"

It had been more than half a year.

He concealed it from her for more than half a year, and humiliated her just to cover up the truth. He was afraid that there would be another person who would know his brother's past, wasn't it?

The person he respected the most was his elder brother.

Hearing that, William stared at her, "I don't want you to know about this! What are you thinking!"

"Just don't want me to know?" Alice's eyelashes trembled, "Why? It should be better for two people to bear this truth than one person, right?"

At that time, he must have felt terrible.

Why hide it from her? Why bear it all by himself?

"What good is it to you to know all this? At that time, I did not investigate the Brown Family, nor did I know why they abandoned you! If I let you know about this at that time, it will only cause you to become more frightened! "William said with his eyes staring straight at her.

He was a man, and there were things he had to bear.

"Frightened?"

Alice didn't understand. It was hard to accept the truth, but why would she be frightened?

Hearing that, William's face darkened, the hand on her leg shook slightly, using a bit of strength.

His fingertips were burning hot, tightly holding her slender legs.

Alice sat beside him, waiting for his answer.

William looked at her. After a long while, as if he had made a difficult decision, he said in a low voice, "When I tell you, don't be afraid."

What was there to be afraid of?

Alice did not understand.

"I've been trying to get rid of this secret. I don't know if I've done it cleanly enough." William stared at her, and said each word clearly, "If my father were to find out about all of this, I am afraid not a single member of your Brown Family would live."

Alice looked at his face and asked in a daze, "What do you mean?"

William sat beside her, his big body leaning close to her, with one hand on the sofa beside her head, and the other still rested on her leg, "Do you know how I found Big Brother's previous butler and servants?"

"How did you find them?"

Alice forgot to push him away, as she was almost sucked in by his gaze.

"I found their remains and indirectly verified what happened that year." William said as he reached out to caress her little face, "Don't be afraid if I say it like this."

Remains.

As Alice sat there, her body became even colder. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Everyone who was involved in David's death would be...

The problem of aristocrats not taking people's lives seriously had really been passed on from ancient times to modern times.

Too terrifying.

Her face slowly turned pale.

"Do not be afraid, Alice. Other than this picture in Mona's hand, there is no more, but a single picture does not mean anything, and she would not recklessly expose me."

"Moreover, as long as you are by my side, I will use my life to protect you. Now, I have thought it through!" William said as he sat beside her. He caressed her face with his fingertips, as if he was touching ice. "Why is your face so cold?" Hearing this, Alice suddenly realized that the two were too close, and she thought of the photo in his phone.

She immediately reached out and pushed William away.

William looked at her movements in dissatisfaction, "Why are you pushing me away? I said so much, didn't I?"

Push him away?

Alice stood up from the sofa, she wrapped her arms around her ice-cold body and asked, "Why are you willing to tell me now?"

Why was he willing to explain this to her now?

"Because I want you to come back to me!"

Only by telling her all of this would she stop hating him.

William said in a righteous tone.

He had never changed.

Alice stood there, staring at his handsome face and repeated his words, "Return to your side?"

"Yes!"

William stood up from the sofa and walked in front of her, once again grabbing her hands, "Alright, come with me to the hospital and cook for me, I'm going to starve to death! Bring your daughter along, I haven't seen her before!"

In his mind, when he had explained all the misunderstandings, she would go back with him.

Alice was pulled two steps forward, as if nothing had happened to him.

But clearly, so many things had already happened.

Alice subconsciously retracted her hand and took a step back.

William's body stiffened in place, his eyes stared at her, and his expression was clearly questioning, "Alice, what are you going to say?"

"I..." Alice was speechless. She did not know what to say as she stood there, she paused for a moment, and said, "I misunderstood you, I always thought, that you did not want me anymore."

The truth was finally revealed.

"I've regretted it since long ago!" William said, and then pulled her hand, "Come, come back with me, I still have a check this afternoon."

Facing his forceful actions, Alice withdrew her hand once again. Her intention to resist was clear.

"Alice, what exactly do you mean?"

William finally realized that something was wrong, "It was me that didn't explain it clearly enough, what else do you need me to explain? My patience is limited!"

His head ached.

"You have to give me time to digest this."

How was she going to digest all the truth for a moment and then continue to be with him as if nothing had happened?

"Digest?" William raised his eyebrows, suddenly he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her down onto the sofa. Then he sat on the glass tea table in front of her, crossed his legs and stared at her, "Fine, digest here."

"What?"

Alice was stunned.

"Didn't you say you need to digest it? Just digest it here. I'll watch you digest it!"

Alice was dizzy from the string of "digesting" words that he had said, and looked at him speechlessly, "I want to go back to digest."

With so many things, how could she possibly digest them in minutes? She didn't have the ability.

"No! Right here! If you want to digest it, I'll accompany you till tomorrow morning!" William clearly didn't want her to leave, he was extremely tyrannical.

Alice was disgusted by his attitude, but when her gaze fell on his ears, she was unable to vent the hatred she had accumulated.

"Why did you run that night after oath?" Alice sat on the sofa facing him and could not help but ask.
