Chapter 478

Alice's face was pale white, as though she couldn't understand a word, looking at the people kneeling on the ground in a daze.

Daniel had already heard about this news outside. He looked towards Alice.

Alice looked like she was an idiot as she stood in front of the desk.

"Miss. Brown, are you alright?"

Daniel asked.

"Steward Frank, kick this bunch of liars out." Alice stiffly raised her hand and pointed towards the door, "Liars, you are all liars. Get out!"

The group of people kneelt on the ground, not moving at all.

"Miss.Brown, I don't know anyone else, but Peter is indeed young master's man." Daniel had seen it twice.

"They're all lying to me!" Alice looked at Daniel with a serious face, "Someone lied to me, William was kidnapped, went missing, and now someone is trying to deceive me that my father is dead."

Even died by a stray bullet.

How could that be? That strict and old — fashioned father even peeled apples for her. He was fine. How could he die?

"Miss. Brown?"

Daniel looked at Alice worriedly.

"Steward Frank, don't be fooled by them. Haven't you heard enough rumors? The entire world is filled with that. David and York died because of a love debt.William escaped responsibility by killing people, and now they say that my father is dead." As Alice spoke, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and laughed, "I know, are you guys joking with me? William must be in the kitchen eating my cooking. He didn't go missing or kidnapped."

They were all fake.

It's all rumors.

There were too many rumors in this world, so all of them were rumors.

She was going to find William.

Yes, find William.

William could think of a way to save her father now. He was so wise and farsighted, and he would think of any way he could. She wanted to find him, cook a lot of delicious food for him, making him happy.

Alice thought and ran out.

William really liked fish soup.

In a while, she would cook the fish soup for William. He would definitely like it.

"William! William! Can I make you some tomato fish soup? It's the best to drink fish soup in such a cold weather."

Alice ran towards the kitchen. The first feeling she felt was cold.

It was empty.

The kitchen utensils were spotlessly clean.

She looked at the long table. There was no sign of anyone sitting there either.

She took two steps back and slumped against the door, her red eyes watching in horror.

No one.

No one.

William should have been sitting there eating. Every time he ate, it was like he was eating in times of desolation.

Alice rushed into the kitchen and opened up the thermostat. These few days, she would cook a fresh dish every morning and leave it there, waiting for William to come back.

Not a single dish had been touched.

He really wasn't there.

Alice stood there in a daze, her eyelashes trembling intensely as she mumbled, "I don't mind if you eat too much, William."

Come back.

She would no longer care about how much he ate. As long as he wanted to, she would cook for him. She would no longer care about him.

For sure.

"Miss.Brown." Daniel chased after her from outside and looked at Alice worriedly, "Miss.Brown, you have to pull yourself together, your kid is still waiting for you to take care of her."

"I-I'm fine."

Alice shook her head. When she turned around, she saw Peter and the others.

"Miss.Brown, we have always listened to Mr.Cullen. If this time the situation is not serious, we will not disturb you." said Peter, standing there with his head bowed. There was a new wound on his face.

"I don't believe you." Alice said as she looked at him, unwilling to "I talked to my mother this morning.

Nothing happened.

There was no such thing as death!

this fact, "Maybe the other party wants to suppress this matter." He wasn't sure what the man was thinking.

"The other party? Who?"

Alice asked.

"The people guarding the secret prison are from Browns. It's a very obvious internal conflict. As for who the mastermind is, we are not clear. But Mr. Gong warned us keep an eye on Patrick."

Alice laughed, "Look, you said that you are not liars. How could Patrick harm my father? How could he!"

At the end, the smile faded from her face. Hysterical.

They were all liars and rumors.

William disappeared.

Her father was dead.

Patrick was the murderer?

This was a lousy joke!

"Patrick?" Daniel was startled, then suddenly reacted, "Miss. Brown, if Patrick dared to snatch the Browns away, then could it be him control all the storms and upheavals recently?"

If that was the case, then this person's scheming was profound. "Impossible!" Alice retorted without thinking, "Patrick will not harm my father. He won't!"

"There's no need to doubt the Browns' insidebattle. Once the Mr. Brown falls, who would benefit the most?" Daniel asked, "Originally, Miss. Brown and Young Master should have benefited, but something happened to N.E., so Young Master had no choice but to leave Browns. Following that, Mr.Brown died, so who else can Browns rely on?"

Only Patrick was left.

Patrick was the only one that had grown up in Browns. This result was very obvious, but they had been busy with Young Master's affairs lately. They did not have the spare energy to pay attention to Browns.

Alice's mind went blank as she stared at Yue Yang dumbly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, "I, I sent many people to protect my mother."

She suddenly realized that her mother was still there.

Anyway, she had to get her mother out.

"Miss.Brown, I was so busy these few days that I forgot to tell you. The people who should have been protecting the Mrs. Brown in close proximity have all moved far away. I'm afraid that all the people by Mrs. Brown's side right now are all Patrick's people." Daniel was very upset when he said this.

Too many things.

He took this seriously.

Hearing his words, Alice's breathing became hurried, "Ph..ph..ph... phone."

"What do you need a phone for?"

Daniel was suspicious.

"Once my mother loses her value, she will be ... very dangerous." Alice stammered, his voice full of fear.

It did not matter if the mastermind was Patrick or not, the last thing Xavier wanted was the Browns. As the widow of Xavier, the moment she signed the autograph and transferred the authority to the mastermind, her mother's life would be in danger.

No.

No.

She wanted to save her mother. She wanted to save her mother.

Daniel immediately understood and asked: "Then where's your phone?"

"I, I don't know."

Alice was in complete chaos. She felt that her body was being pressed down by a few huge mountains, making it hard for her to breathe.

Daniel immediately had his men look for them.

Alice soullessly searched around, and took out her phone.

It was actually with her.

Her fingers were trembling uncontrollably as she made a call to Italy. As soon as the call connected, Alice shouted out emotionally, "Mother!"

"Alice, why are you calling me at this time?"

Beverly asked with a slightly puzzled tone, sounding calmer than her.

Alice was about to speak, when she heard Mary's voice from her phone, "Aunt, since you don't want to rest, let's play chess."

Mary.

Alice opened her eyes wide, and she could not even stand, "Mother, mother. Didn't I say before that you should not let Mary near you?"

Why was Mary so close to her mother?

"Mary is a good girl, so she didn't complain at all when she accompanied me everyday. She has really changed. Don't worry, I knew the limits." Beverly said.

Hearing this, Alice frowned, and bit her lips until they turned white, "Mother, pick me up from a quiet place in the mountains. Hurry up."

"What's the matter? Why are you being so secretive? Alright, I'll go back to my room."

Beverly said.

Judging from her tone, her mother still didn't know that something had happened to her father.

Beverly returned to her room, reminding her that she could speak. Alice did not dare to say anything directly, and only said, "Mother, has someone asked you to do anything recently? Such as signing a document?"

"Sign?" Beverly thought for a while, then said: "Patrick did say that there was a document that I needed to sign. Now that your father is not here, Patrick can do anything without an authority."

Patrick.

It really was Patrick.

Alice's eyes dimmed, and said, "Don't sign!"

"Why?"

Beverly was stunned.

"Mother, I..." Alice did not dare to pass the truth to her mother like this. Beverly could not take it, so she said, "I am the daughter of the Browns, do you not need me when ou signing something? I'll be riding on the Private aircraft right now."

"You're right." Beverly trusted her words, "However, aren't you running all the way for William?"

"I'll come and find you first!" Alice said, "Mother, remember. You have to wait for me to come back before you sign it, understand?"

"Alright. I'll wait for you. It's also good for you to come and relax."

Beverly could tell that something was wrong from her tone, but she did not say anything. She just thought Alice was sad for William.

After finishing the call, Alice drained all of energy instantly.

"Bam."

She fell to the ground, her cell phone slipping from her hand. Her face was terrifyingly pale as she stared straight ahead without focus.

Patrick.

It's really you, but why would be you.

Why did you do it, why?

It was her father.

"Ah!"

Alice screamed in pain. She wanted to cry, but tears wouldn't come out.

William, come back quickly. She's in such a mess right now, and she doesn't know what to do.

Please, come back.

Please, please.

Alice sat paralyzed on the ground, her breathing was erratic, as though she was shivering from cold.

Daniel chased in from outside and saw Alice sitting on the ground. He hurriedly went forward to support her.
