"Tell William to stop. He only wants to kill me, there's no need to implicate innocent people. This place is already too chaotic."
Patrick's low voice sounded out from behind Alice.
Hearing William's name, Alice was stunned. She turned around and saw them and asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Seeing her like that, Mary stood beside Patrick in shock, "Sis, you don't know?"
"Know what?"
Was there something to do with William?
"Don't you know that William instigated this battle?" Mary said as she stood there and looked at Alice in surprise, "I originally wanted to tell you, that it wasn't because William attacked Patrick that he returned all the assets back to you. Patrick had been planning for it for these four years, and only after turning all the wealth into properties such as real estate did he give them to you."
Alice looked at them in shock.
William started the fight to attack Patrick?
How could she not know that William had a hand in this? Didn't he only care about the benefits, what benefits could he gain by doing this?
"Alright, stop it." Patrick interrupted Mary and frowned.
Mary looked at him, then looked at Alice and nervously asked, "You don't know all this, then you think we're lying? William was the one who started all this mess here, the information we have obtained is correct."
Lying.
Hadn't they lied to her enough?
Alice looked at them indifferently, and said, "I already won't think about whether or not I should trust you."
She was tired.
Hearing that, Patrick lowered his eyes: "I know, then pretend like we didn't say anything."
Alice looked at them. If what they said was true, then she finally understood the reason why Patrick wanted to leave Italy so quickly; he transformed power into wealth year after year, William thought he was going to run with money, so he forced him to leave his money behind.
Patrick had transferred all his assets to her ahead of him, so he didn't have the power to continue staying here.
"Goodbye."
Alice said, then turned and walked out.
Why did William do this? Was he trying to help her retrieve the Brown Family's property? Why did he never mention it to her before?
But he was helping her. Such a cold man was actually helping her.
Alice could not help but smile as she pulled at the scarf around her neck.
Perhaps, the days after marriage would not be as desolate and frightening as she had imagined.
As Alice walked out in large strides, she suddenly really wanted to return to her country and ask William.
She walked into the hall of the cafe, where the team of lawyers was chatting merrily. Alice walked over and sat in the middle of them all, looked at some dishes on the table and asked, "How was it? Is that enough? I might as well order more."
"No need, no need." The youngest lawyer said, "We're full. Let's leave quickly and get back home as soon as possible!"
Everyone roared with laughter.
Amidst the laughter, they suddenly heard a "bang" sound of the door closing. The customers all looked towards the door, only to see several large cars stopped at the entrance. A dozen tattooed men stood at the entrance with their guns, looking at everyone with malice.
"Ahhh!"
Some customers screamed in fear.
"Ter., terrorist, or ro... robbery?" The young lawyer collapsed in his seat.
II "I Alice had never encountered such a situation before, even though her father was a badass, he had never let his female family members experience anything horrifying.
She gasped.
The men locked the door of the cafe and shouted in Italian, "All of you, kneel down by the wall with your hands on your head! Hurry up!"
Screams could be heard one after another.
It was far beyond her imagination.
Alice and the lawyers slowly stood up as they prepared to walk towards the wall. The bald man who was the leader of the gunmen suddenly looked towards Alice, his gaze swept over her body in confusion.
Immediately after, the baldy walked towards Alice, looking at her and the other lawyers.
The lawyers immediately felt their legs go weak.
"Foreigners?"
The baldy asked Alice.
Alice did not know what answer would help them escape, but after thinking about it, she nodded her head.
Baldy also nodded. He pointed at her, then pointed at the door of the cafe. "You guys, get out of here. Hurry!"
Hearing this, Alice and the lawyers all opened their eyes wide in shock.
Let them go?
On the other side, someone had already opened the door when they heard the order. The baldy once again indicated them to leave as Alice and lawyers walked out of the cafe.
Those people all had ferocious expressions as they walked around with guns, but they didn't do anything to them.
Alice walked all the way out of the cafe, but after walking for a while, two lawyers became so weak that they couldn't even stand anymore.
"Oh my god, it's the first time in my life. I won't come to this city ever again,." "Strange, why did they let us go?" "We foreigners have special privileges?"
Alice did not have time to feel lucky, many thoughts flashed across her mind.
Not far from the cafe was the Police station. Why did these people choose to attack an ordinary cafe with a police station nearby?
And the bald-headed leader kept looking at her as if he had seen her before, and he let them go when he heard that she was a foreigner.
Thinking about what Patrick had just said, Alice bit her lips.
"Miss Alice, let's go." A lawyer called out to Alice.
Alice looked at them, "Do you know why it is so chaotic here?"
"Didn't the news say that it was a conflict between mafias? They usually don't attack civilians. You mean those are Mafia? Then why attack the cafe?" An elderly lawyer stood up and said, "Whatever, let's go."
Alice stood there, her mind was in a mess.
She did not know how William managed to create troubles here, but when the different factions fought with each other, there were definitely some who did not like Patrick, and wanted to get rid of him...
Alice took out her phone and called William.
She called again and again.
No one answered.
Alice looked at the door of the cafe, even if she found William now, he didn't care about Patrick and Mary's life.
"Miss Alice, let's hurry up and go, just in case those people change their mind."
A lawyer shouted to Alice.
"Oh, okay."
Alice nodded her head, and followed behind them to the car, her face slowly turned paler and paler.
The car door slowly closed.
"Young Master Miller is such a gentle and stubborn man. He had always been good to you and never once did he think of taking advantage of you. When you hated him and scolded him, you never thought about why he suddenly changed. It's because he's about to go completely blind. He knows that once he goes blind, it's even more impossible for him to be together with you."
"After Mom and Dad and I left, I didn't have a good day. I knew that I had been punished, that I had done so many wrong things. Sis, I really know that I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"I know that you won't like the business of the Brown Family nor do you want to manage it, so I have tried my best to convert everything into real estate. You can go through the formalities after coming to Italy with your documents and identification documents."
Memories displayed in front of her eyes.
Alice and Mary could definitely leave as early as possible. The reason why they stayed was that she could complete the procedures for transferring the properties easily.
"Wait."
The moment the car door closed, Alice heard her own voice shouting out.
Everyone looked at her in shock, Alice did not have time to react, she just opened the door and got out of the car, "You guys leave first."
"Miss Alice!"
Everyone cried out in alarm.
Alice ran towards the cafe and knocked on the door.
Inside, someone cautiously opened the door. Several people pointed guns at her.
The baldy stood there frowning.
Alice stood there, raising her eyes to look at the bald man, trying her best to calm herself down.
"Hello, I still have two friends inside. Can I take them with me?" Alice asked in Italian.
The Baldy impatiently stared at her.
Alice opened her mouth and said, "I think you should know who I am, right?"
Not because she was a foreigner, but because of her special identity.
Hearing that, the baldy thought for a moment, and said, "I don't want to offend Mr.
William, go in, take your friends and leave quickly."
"Thank you."
The baldy's words Alice confirmed all of her guesses.
Alice walked in step by step, the bald man shouted at his own men, signalling them not to point their guns at Alice.
She looked around and saw them looking everywhere.
They were indeed looking for Patrick.
She had to find Patrick first and let Patrick and Mary leave with her. She didn't know if this would work, but this was the only way.
She should try it.
Alice continued to walk inside. Once she turned at the corner, she saw that on the corridor leading to the private room, Mary was lying in blood.
