Chapter 411

H-e emphasized the word 'satisfied'.

It stabbed into her heart like a bayonet.

"I thought that your relationship with Mona had improved." she said trembling slightly.

"I won't listen to that. What I asked is, are you satisfied, eh?" William asked as he stared at her, waiting for her answer.

Alice had never seen him like this. He made them seem as if he was questioning her, a heartless person.

"William, you don't need to be like this."

She only hoped that he would not be hurt. She only felt that he could have a better life with Mona, and he wouldn't be dragged by her.

She thought he had figured it all out.

She thought that he was about to lead a brand-new life, back to the path that he should walk.

"Alice, why are you so annoyed? Are you satisfied or not, is it that difficult to answer?" William pursed his lips in displeasure.

At this time, if she said unsatisfied that will misfortune him. Just like what he had said that what should come was coming. The arrow was on the bow, so she had no choice but to release it.

She had to let him engaged, or he would get hurt again.

Now that he had reached this step, he couldn't turn back.

"Satisfied." Alice slowly said, every word slicing her throat. She said it easily, "The engagement ceremony of president Cullen is the most interesting event in the entire world right now, so the whole world is looking forward to it. How could anyone be dissatisfied?"

"Is that so? As long as you are satisfied. "William chuckled and stared at her, "You're satisfied now, we can talk about our deal now."

"Deal?"

Alice looked at him, puzzled.

William was not in a hurry to answer. He picked up the booklet, looking at the two diamond characters "ON", "This booklet was made pretty good right? I designed the cover, do you like it?"

Alice sat at the end of the bed, slowly lowering her body and taking off the leather ropes on her feet.

When she held the leather rope in her hand, Alice realized that this leather rope was something William had used to tie her up. She should have realized long ago that it wasn't the Cullen who wanted to kill her.

"The North Bay had never been developed before, but now that it has. The scenery becomes very beautiful."

William said as he flipped through the book in his hand.

William sat there, his hand resting on the back of the chair. Alice saw the exquisite watch on his wrist, and it was eight in the morning, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still not going to engagement ceremony?"

It was already eight o'clock.

Guests should have arrived one after another, how could he still sit here?

Alice turned her head and saw Daniel standing outside the glass door with an anxious expression on his face. He continuously opened his pocket watch to check the time, pacing back and forth on the spot.

"How am I going to attend the ceremony if I don't finish the deal with you?"

William said as he looked at her with a pair of black eyes.

"What kind of deal can you make with me?

What can I give you?" Alice asked in confusion. She had no idea what William was thinking at all.

Right now, she was just a single mother struggling on the brink of death. What could she give him? What could she, who was so 'poor', do with him? She didn't even have the capital.

"You."

William stared at her, and slowly said it from the thin lips.

Alice looked at him in shock, and said hesitantly, "I don't understand what you mean, you are getting engaged today. Do you want me to be your lover?"

One at home.

Another outside.

Did he think so?

But he had promised her freedom.

"I think you're thinking too much." William mocked and sneered, his black eyes staring fixedly at her. He slowly placed the hard book into her hands, and said word by word, "I want you to be this engagement ceremony's bride."

"Bam."

Alice was unable to catch the booklet, so the booklet fell to the ground. She looked at William with a pale face, unable to believe what she had said, "What did you say?"

She was the bride?

She didn't hear wrong, right?

"You don't love me anymore, so it's just a deal between us." William looked at her and said coldly, "You become my bride, I will protect you and the Browns, including going back Holy. The auditorium is located 500 meters away, if you nod your head, I will bring you there right now."

Alice looked at his handsome face in a daze, "Are you joking?"

This was a marriage between two nobles, and everything was prepared and planned. But now, he told her that he wanted her to be his bride?

"Do I look like I'm joking? It's just a change in engagement ceremony, so it's not really a big deal."

William retorted, and his magnetic voice filled with an indescribable evil aura as he stared at her, appreciating the panicked expression on her face.

It's no big deal?

It was all a mess.

Looking at him, Alice's entire mind went blank. She stood up from the end of the bed and wanted to escape, but her feet were tied up for a long time. She couldn't even stand properly, so she fell down on the ground miserably.

William just sat there and stared at her, "You don't like this deal? You should understand that it's good for you." "Does it feel good to be chased and killed all the time?" William stared at her, "Do you think you can rely on Patrick to protect you and the Brown Family? Stop dreaming."

Alice stared at him blankly.

He knew she was being hunted. He had always known about her. So he never really intended to give her up.

"Didn't you want Holy and the Kathy to grow together? Can Patrick give to you that?" William laughed mockingly, and lowered his eyes to look at her who was sitting on the ground, "What use is there just love between you and Patrick? Was he being hunted and suffering together every day? Even living has become a problem, then what kind of relationship are you having?"

Every word was filled with ridicule.

Alice looked at him as if she was looking at a stranger, a madman.

"I want you, I want you alive. You need Holy and the Kathy and I can give you these, understand?"

William slowly said with an extremely arrogant tone. His entire body was emitting a strong aura that could completely engulf her.

"William, stop messing around." Alice shook her head repeatedly. She could not accept the fact that William was like this. He sat there like hysterical devil, making people fear him for no reason.

She stood up and ran out, rushing to the glass door and desperately twisting the door handle, unable to open it no matter how hard she tried.

She could not help but say, "William, let me go, my mother is sick, I want to go see her. I am worried about her. I beg you, please let me go.

The deepest panic in her didn't come from being captured by him, but from being himself.

It was him she was panicking about.

"Alice, this deal is even more beneficial to you. Maybe, if you get engaged to me, your good luck will also come along, maybe your mother will wake up." William got down from the chair, squatted down and picked up the book, patted off the non-existent dust, and then placed it back under the TV stand.

Alice turned around with her back against the door, and looked at William with a sorrowful look, "You said that you would let me go. If you had decided not to let me go from the start, then what kind of fake hope did you give me?"

She thought he was willing to go back to life.

It turned out that everything was fake.

"That's because I'm hungry." William said as if it was a matter of course, and he walked towards her slowly. His black eyes became darker and darker, "I'm hungry, of course I want you to cook for me. Besides, if I don't say it like that, how can I stabilize the situation and let this engagement ceremony go smoothly?" Alice's body shivered.

In other words, from the moment he said he would let her go free, he had already decided to change his bride at engagement ceremony?

This decision was too terrifying.

What kind of big family was the Lancaster?

What kind of parents are the Cullen? He was so crazy about making this crazy plan.

'Tm not lying. I'm giving you the freedom to choose." William said slowly.

Alice looked at him in complete confusion; her face covered in sweat. "Since it's a deal, then of course it's something that you and I are willing to do. You can reject it." William said as he walked in front of her, lowered his face, and stared at her pale white face.

"Then I refuse!"

Alice said without thinking.

Of course she refused.

Today was a day where the engagement ceremony of two great nobles and news had already spread throughout the world. How could it become their engagement ceremony?

Hearing that, William's gaze froze. Suddenly, he started to laugh, and the curve of his lips became deeper, as he said while laughing, "You just want to be together with Patrick? You're not even afraid of death, and you don't even care about your two children? Your love is great. I'm so touched."

As he smiled, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He didn't even notice it himself.

Alice leaned against the glass door, her lips moved. She could not say anything, and her eyes were extremely sore.

She did it for him, not Patrick.

After a long while, she found her own voice back, "William, everything has come to an end. The entire world knows that you and Mona are getting engaged, and you have only rescinded the marriage today. Do you know how much of a price you have to pay?"

She didn't even dare to imagine the price.

"Stop speaking like you're thinking for me, it's all because of that Patrick!" William's face darkened, his eyes staring straight at her. After a while, he said hoarsely, "Since you rejected, then you can go."

He did not make things difficult for her.

Would he really let her go? Did she really have the choice to refuse this deal?

Alice's breathing was unstable, and her pale face was drenched in cold sweat. The faint sound of waves breaking came from afar.
