Chapter 404

"If what you said is true, one day something will happen to you. At that time, I will still be by your side, and yet you have not treated me well for a day. Aren't you feeling even worse?" Patrick said with a chuckle.

Alice lowered her gaze and stared at him, unable to find another word to refute his words.

Patrick squatted there and continued to massage her ankles. He was careful and focused, as if he was looking at a work of art that was worth a lot.

In the end, Patrick was still dragged into this thing by her.

The brightly lit San Francisco was bustling with life. Neon lights flickered as cars and people walked on the streets.

Countless television screens showed a big news —

[The world's attention on the engagement ceremony of the nobles is going to be held in San Francisco, China. When that happens, San Francisco will be under martial law.]

This was explosive news.

The media had said that William valued this huge market in China, and there were also people who said that William had set the New Year in San Francisco, it was obvious that he wanted to settle down in the country, so setting up an engagement ceremony at home was very normal.

In any case, the move will bring a new face to San Francisco.

Countless celebrities from all over the world would gather in San Francisco at that time, leading to the development of international exchanges and economic cooperation. This was also a matter that was hotly discussed in the news. Even the guest list had become a hot topic for discussion.

For example, there was the cartoon character of William and Mona. There was the Mr. series robot cartoon version, and William's similar hairstyle was extremely popular in the market, it was called the president's hairstyle. A commercial city like S became the country's most popular tourist destination before the engagement ceremony.

This grand wedding caused many unrelated people to immerse themselves in it and look forward to the arrival of that day.

At the same time, disaster followed one after another on Alice's body.

The more William flew, the more impoverished she became.

In this period of time before William was betrothed, Alice had been frightened multiple times. Sometimes, cars would drive towards her while she was walking on the streets, and sometimes, people would walk towards her when she was eating.

The other side had countless tricks up their sleeves.

Patrick and Leon had been protecting her the entire time. If not for them, Alice really suspected that she would not be able to avoid them several times.

Time flew by quickly.

Gradually, Alice and William were no longer related to each other at all. There was no intersection.

No meeting.

He would appear in front of the media and embrace Mona, confident, arrogant and unparalleled.

As for her, she was being promoted to be a bodyguard while Patrick accompanied her everywhere. However, there were often fans that asked them if they were lovers. At first, she would explain, but as time went by, she stopped clarifying and just smiled.

He was trying on an engagement dress;

She put on simple clothes and went to the promotional area.

He was checking the flow of the engagement ceremony.

She guarded herself against every stranger around her.

He told the world that the engagement was his new beginning;

As she silently advertised, the venues gradually dwindled, and she knew that this was the end of her career.

They lived in the same city, in the same neighborhood, but it was as if they were separated by two worlds.

The distance between them grew longer and farther, like two people running in opposite directions, moving further and further away. Even if they turned back occasionally, they wouldn't be able to see each other again.

Occasionally, Alice would also watch the scene of William and Mona sharing the same frame. When she saw that he was doing well, his complexion and health also became better and better, and that the wound on his forehead was almost impossible to see, she was able to smile.

On a certain tall building in San Francisco, the windows of the building were all reflecting the brilliant fireworks that were going on all over the sky.

Because of the sudden increase in tourists, the entire city would often set off fireworks at night. Looking out of the French windows, it was exceptionally beautiful.

Alice wore a set of clean and simple clothes and sat on the sofa in front of the French window as she turned her wrist.

The tea table in front of her was filled with comic books. She was signing her name, and two of her pens had already been run out of.

It was a very sensational scene.

Many fans who did not have time to wait kept shouting, so Alice went upstairs to sign for the staff to bring over.

She decided to seal her brush. For those fans who liked her, she could do as much as she wanted.

Alice turned her wrist and looked at the fireworks outside, the fireworks released layer after layer of different shapes, different colors, layer after layer, extremely beautiful.

"Still signing?"

A gentle male voice sounded.

Alice turned her head, only to see Patrick dressed in a refined manner, and walking over from afar, holding two cups of coffee with two Band-Aid s on one wrist.

"Is your hand okay?"

Alice asked.

This was a new injury he had gotten yesterday. When she was promoting the backstage, someone had accidentally thrown a boiling hot lunch box and soup at her. It was Patrick who pulled her hand, but her hand had actually scratched on the wall beside her.

"Don't worry about it." Patrick He handed her a cup of coffee. Seeing that the sofa beside her was filled with comic books, he sat on the sofa to her left and said, "You have already signed for a few more hours. That's enough, why don't you go back?"

His voice was gentle and charming, filled with a deep sense of heartache.

"I'll sign these books and then I'll go." Alice smiled and said, "Anyway, we will be leaving tomorrow. I can sleep on the plane."

They had to leave tomorrow. The engagement ceremony for William would be held the day after tomorrow, so it would not be convenient to transport the entire city.

Originally, she wasn't in a hurry to leave. In any case, wherever she went, someone would follow her and bring her calamity to wherever she went.

She had wanted her mother to take Kathy back to Italy first, but her mother seemed to have sensed something and was determined not to go back alone. She insisted on going with her and did not want her to stay alone. Speaking of going back, Patrick's gaze turned deeper as he said, "Last time, you said that you wanted me to pay attention to Brown Family. Brown Family is a secretive family with a low profile, but recently, I received news that someone did pay attention to Brown Family."

Hearing that, Alice's eyes dimmed.

This was how it was, without any news, someone had made his move on her and paid attention to Brown Family. This was not Elizabeth's way of doing things, she would not be this ruthless.

Most likely, Master Cullen already knew about York Brown, so she and Brown Family were targeted at the same time.

She knew that the truth would one day be revealed, but she had not expected it to happen so quickly. Could it be that Mona felt that the time was ripe, she could eliminate her, and inform the Cullen family?

"Alice, what's going on? Why is Cullen family still targeting Brown Family?" Patrick asked as he held the coffee cup.

"Actually, there's nothing to say about it. I want to keep it in my heart." Alice said honestly, she could not tell anyone about York Brown.

It was her brother's privacy.

Hearing this, Patrick did not force her to say anything, but said, "It seems that returning to Italy is not the safest, and can only be taken one step at a time. However, it's strange that the enemy never made a move against you that arrogantly. Instead, it seems to be trying to cause an accident."

However, they were not stupid. If there were many accidents, who would treat it as an accident?

Alice took a sip of the coffee, and the bitter taste melted in her mouth, "I'm William's ex-girlfriend, if I was suddenly killed before or after the engagement ceremony, what would people think?

Furthermore, it had turned into an accident. Even if William knew, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

Furthermore, the Master Cullen had to do his best to seal off York Brown and Cullen Yu's past, and let the people of the Brown Family silently disappear from this world.

"It really is a complete calculation."

Patrick mocked.

"Back then, the Cullen family's momentum was very low, but it was only after it was in the hands of the Master Cullen did it get better. "I will deal with it when the enemy comes. Alright, let's not talk about this, I will continue to sign." Alice said, she placed the coffee cup to the side and moved the joints of her hands, continuing to sign.

Patrick raised his eyebrows at the bitter taste of the coffee, and said casually: "The coffee here is so bitter, I don't even have any candy and milk essence."

"I have it in my bag."

Alice immediately gave the bag to Patrick, then bent down to sign her name.

"What?"

Patrick was startled, and opened her bag only to see that inside there was a transparent bag containing a lot of small packets of candy and milk.

"You are obviously afraid of bitter, but you love coffee. Recently, the places that you have accompanied me to advertise are instant coffee, so you rarely add sugar. That's why I brought you a big bag sugar. You can take care of it yourself." Alice said without lifting her head, as she lowered her head and focused on signing.

Patrick picked up the sugar bag and put it in his hands, looking at it fixedly before lowering her eyes to look at Alice. She was very serious as she signed and put on a ball of hair, with a strand ha jing by her cheek, maki her seem especially cute.

His hand tightened on the sugar Bag, his lips curled in a smile, his long, narrow eyes filled with mirth.

"Alice, after we arrive in Italy, I will bring you to see those famous paintings. They have the strongest atmosphere in the Renaissance, you will definitely like them." Patrick said in a low voice.

Alice looked at him and smiled, "Sure."

She bowed her head and signed again.

Patrick looked at her lovingly, "Alice, do you know that as long as you are by my side, I will not mind anything?"

"Hmm? What were you planning to mind?"

Alice asked while signing her signature, so she did not take it to heart.

The signature was getting uglier and uglier.

"Nothing."

Patrick said indifferently. He looked down at the sugar bag in his hands, the curve of his lips becoming deeper and deeper. The bright fireworks outside the window lit up their faces.

Deep into the night, the car stopped in Port of Heaven.

Alice sat in the car, exhausted to the point that she had already fallen asleep.

However, when the car stopped, she opened her eyes sensitive as well, only to hear Patrick's voice sounding beside her ear, "Port of Heaven didn't do anything abnormal? "Okay, let's get out of the car."
