Chapter 384

She didn't know when William would be willing to bring Holly over to her home.

Alice caressed the Kathy's small hand, then straightened her back and walked out with her fluffy skirt.

Along with Beverly's evening dress, she was wearing a long, smoky gray dress that was the same color as the rest. Her dress was fluffy to show her youth, and with a special technique, she drew out the feeling of a broken line of rain on her long skirt.

Alice walked to the living room's window and checked her gown to see if there was anything wrong with it.

"Eldest Miss, try wearing this."

The maid came over with a crown and put it on her head. She felt like it didn't fit her, so she picked up a fresh and exquisite garland and put it on. Then, she shook her head and said, "I still don't deserve it."

Alice looked at the headdress on the tray in her hand and picked it up while standing there. Her phone suddenly vibrated.

Alice took her phone to have a look. It was a text from William — I [Flower Fairy?]

Alice stared blankly at the three words for two seconds, then looked out the window in shock. She suddenly realized that although Building A was very far away from here, he could see it from her field of vision.

There were binoculars in the apartment in A., she remembered.

Alice took off the garland on her head and placed it on the maid's hand. She frowned and said to the maid, "From now on, all the windows on this side of the window have to be closed."

"Huh?"

The maid looked at her in surprise.

Alice randomly picked a diamond headdress and put it on, her gaze deep in thought.

Ever since Daniel and the Leon had fought to a point where it was hard to determine the victor, William had returned to the Port of Heaven's residence.

Every time she didn't want to chat, William would tell Daniel to fight, and she had no choice but to obey.

She didn't even dare to go out for a walk now.

She began to wonder if she had come back wrong.

When she returned, she chose to face William's ruthlessness, indifference, and humiliation. However, she found herself unable to face his unreserved feelings.

"Alice, the carriage has arrived. Let's go."

Beverly urged her.

"Alright, I'm coming."

Alice responded, she picked up her skirt and left, then said to the maid, "Get the bodyguards to come in and wait, if there's anything else, give me a call."

No matter how calm and peaceful the situation was, she couldn't let her guard down. She had to protect Kathy well.

"Yes, First Miss, I understand." the maid said.

Alice walked out, and as she walked, she kept the phone in her hand bag. Before she could put it back, the phone started vibrating, and it was still William's text message.

[Ignore me? Do you believe that Daniel is coming again?"

And even took the Daniel as an example.

She realized that William's methods were becoming more and more shameless.

Alice's head hurt, she immediately turned off her phone, put it in her bag and left the house.

The charity dinner was held in a hotel called the Europa Hotel, which was left behind by the Republic of China.

As a low-key donor, Beverly rejected the red carpet and entered the banquet hall through the side door.

The entire banquet hall was magnificent and magnificent, the most special feature of which was the adoption of a very special audio amplifying method. On the golden wall, there were protruding pipes lined up in a row. Music was coming out from them, shocking everyone's hearing, allowing them to enjoy the feast the moment they came in.

"Mrs. Beverly, Miss Brown, this way please."

When Welcome Miss brought them in and saw Alice, that person was obviously startled. She subconsciously looked at the guest card in his hand.

Alice held Beverly's hand and walked in. They then sat down in front of an extremely beautifully decorated round table.

The two of them sat together and didn't know any famous or powerful figures or business figures. They just sat there and chatted about their own things, looking at the surrounding clothes and hair.

More and more people took their seats. They were not familiar with each other, so they all chatted about their own things.

Occasionally, when people recognized Alice as William's ex-girlfriend, they would glance over at her, but they did not try to chat with her.

Alice was enjoying the peace and quiet as she played with a beautiful golden candy in her hands.

"I'm a bit regretful, this place is very boring."

Beverly leaned her head towards Alice, and said with some interest.

"Then I'll accompany you first?" Alice whispered into her ear.

Beverly still had some connections in Italy, so she wouldn't be bored attending banquets. Since this was the country, Beverly didn't know a single person.

Alice wanted to leave even more. She wanted to return to take care of Kathy.

"Forget it. I'll just leave after I finish watching the show and donate some money." Beverly said in a low voice.

"Fine."

Alice nodded her head as she peeled off a piece of candy from her hands and handed it over it to Beverly. The mother and daughter chatted about Kathy during the banquet, which was so big that Kathy could finally sit up today.

Just as they were chatting, Alice heard the guests at the table beside her complaining. It wasn't time for the banquet to begin, why hadn't it already started?

The surrounding guests also began to complain. They did not know what the organizers were up to.

Suddenly, the music in the banquet hall stopped.

Silence.

The lights dimmed.

"Please warmly applaud the guests tonight. Mr. Cullen and his fiancee, Miss Lancaster, have arrived!"

A voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

As Alice sat there, she suddenly clenched the candy in her hands. If it wasn't for her makeup covering up her face, her current face would have been completely pale.

Beverly looked at Alice worriedly.

"Clap clap clap -"

The entire audience burst into thunderous applause.

All the guests present simultaneously stood up from their tables, clapping their hands and looking in the same direction.

In the eyes of many, William did not only represent the nobility, but also the legendary technology. It was natural for a person in the mainstream technology to receive such treatment.

Alice sat there, her fingers squeezing out tiny sounds on the paper.

Someone realized something as he turned around to look at Alice, waiting for her reaction.

His head bumping into a concussion, not willing to be hospitalized properly, going out in the Port of Heaven District to "bump into" her was not enough, even he had to attend the banquet with her, and he even had to bring his fiancee, what was he trying to do?

The applause lasted for a long time.

Alice took a deep breath, then stood up from her original position and extended a hand to lightly support Beverly.

Beverly observed Alice's expression, although she was unwilling, she still stood up and clapped along with the rest.

Alice clapped her hands and slowly turned around. Her gaze passed through the layers of people as she looked at the front.

On the stage above the golden staircase, William and Mona stood there. William was wearing a black dress suit, he was tall and straight, too far away that Alice could not see his face clearly, but she knew that he was definitely a handsome face that captivated souls, attracting everyone's attention. Mona was dressed in a deep crimson V-neck gown, and from afar, she could see her tall and graceful figure. Her long golden hair was tied up, and the color of the hair was glossy under the light, making her look extremely noble. She held onto William's arm and walked down the stairs, step by step.

Alice stood behind the crowd and watched, as though she was looking at them at the wedding hall, the two of them walked down one step at a time.

She tried not to show any expression.

Everyone slowly sat down, Alice also pulled Beverly down to sit, and when Beverly saw that many people were looking towards her, she did not react, but maintained her gentleness.

Alice did not even look at them, she only stared at the candy in her hands.

The entire arena was extremely quiet, and Alice felt more and more gazes focusing on her as if a sharp light was shining from her back.

She sat there, her heart aching and numb.

"The seats on this side are rather quiet. Would the two of you mind giving us a seat?"

Alice raised her eyes and saw Mona standing diagonally in front of the old couple with William holding her arm. She smiled and asked politely, speaking Chinese fluently.

"Of course, of course, please take a seat."

The old couple stood up and left with each other.

"Sit down."

Mona stood there and smiled at William. Her red lips outlined into an imposing and beautiful smile, and her pair of ocean blue eyes were shockingly beautiful. She was saying that William suddenly thought of inviting her to a charity dinner, and it turned out it was because of Alice.

Since she was already here, she couldn't let William cause a ruckus. She had to complete the demeanor of her fiancee.

Therefore, she took the initiative to sit at Alice's table. There was a heaven and earth difference between this and William's suggestion.

William glanced at Mona indifferently, his handsome face showing no expression, then pulled out a chair to sit on.

"Thank you."

Mona thanked her appropriately before sitting down on the chair pulled by William.

In the eyes of others, William had the side of a gentleman.

William stared at her; his black eyes so deep that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Mona smiled like a flower, a pair of blue eyes staring at him, and unconcealable feelings flowed in the corners of her eyes.

William sat down on the seat beside her with a cold expression and looked straight at Alice.

Alice did not look at them, she only lowered her head and played with the canapes, turning a blind eye to their existence.

The entire table had become silent because of William and Mona's sudden entrance, the guests at the other tables all headed over.

The silent awkwardness only improved a little when the banquet started. Everyone started toasting, chatting, and watching the show from the sidelines.

Suddenly, Alice's leg was fiercely kicked, causing her entire body to shake.

Alice swiftly stabilized herself and looked under the table without revealing anything. She only saw a leg pressed against the hem of her skirt, a black leather shoe, and a folded piece of paper on top of the shoe.

Alice speechlessly raised her eyes and looked at William who was sitting opposite of her.

How long were his legs? He could actually lean against her like this.
