Chapter 788

- Alice's cake As he was thinking, the secretary squatted down to tie up them. Suddenly, he heard footsteps. He turned around in surprise and saw that there were already a lot of people standing there, holding guns and looking at him.

"Who are you?"

The secretary was stunned.

The Cullen Family should not have additional strength left. All of the people David arranged for them to wait outside had already been captured.

"You are underestimating the Cullen Family." The leader of the bodyguards said, "We were sent by the Second Young Master."

They were the true support of power. If David's attempt to save him failed, and they would be responsible for saving him.

The place was densely packed with people. Just like the tunnel, the tunnel seemed endless.

"Impossible, your Cullen Family can arrange so many people? There are a lot of people that William has brought to the meeting!" the secretary said.

It was not because William had brought a few hundred elites with him when he went to meet them. How could he still have so many people?

That's impossible.

"You mean the people that Second Young Master brought?" Those people all laughed, "My apologies, isn't it similar for Cullen Family's farmers and servants to wear bodyguard uniforms?"

"What did you say?"

The secretary was completely shocked. If that was the case, then William did not even have someone who could fight at his side, then just Young Master Peter's men alone would be enough to kill William to vent the hatred in Mr. Lancaster's heart.

He reacted by picking up his phon and was about to report when a bodyguard shot his phone off.

"Bam."

A loud sound echoed out.

A bloody wound appeared on the secretary's hand, causing him to retreat a few steps. Those people laughed and said, "You underestimate us too much. When we come in at this moment, we will naturally win. How can we let you know? Take Eldest Young Master and Dr. Lambert away quickly."

Seeing this scene, Lambert couldn't help but exclaim once again at William's intelligence and boldness. He actually dared to bring a group of farmers and servants to meet his enemies.

The Lancaster people would probably be so angry.

Someone came up to open the cell door, and someone shouted, "This is bad, Eldest Young Master is severely injured, what should we do? Where is our doctor?"

'Tm the doctor. I'll cure the bleeding wound for him first."

He had been hungry for a long time. Even though his footsteps were light, he still walked towards David without caring about anything else, helping him to check on his injuries.

Outside the manor, the media was waiting for the breaking news.

Inside the manor, there were countless bodyguards of the two families. Both sides looked at each other with serious faces, standing still even under the sun.

The sun outside was bright, but inside was a warm spring breeze. Everyone was sitting upright, William drank his coffee and looked down at Alice's slender fingers, listening to Lancaster's lawyer recite the words in his ear non-stop. All the conditions were so detailed that even the antiques that had been snapped by a relative a few years ago had been written on them, requesting for them to give up.

The sixteen-year-old Peter was almost drowsy as he sat by the side and listened. He woke up under the guidance of the people around him each time and then pretend to be serious listening.

"So boring." William put down the coffee cup in his hands and yawned, then looked at Alice: "It's been a long time since I've wasted doing such a silly thing."

He was actually listening to his Cullen Family's expropriation fee, and it was really boring.

"I knew you would be bored, so I prepared something for you."

Alice said with a smile.

"What is it?"

William was suddenly in high spirits.

Alice indicated towards Frank, who nodded her head. After a while, a servant walked over with various kinds of pastries and placed the fine pastries in between William and Alice.

William's eyes immediately lit up, he immediately picked up a piece of cake and put into his mouth, "When did you make this?"

"In the morning, when you were still in the study."

Alice smiled and said, "I want to bring them along in case you are hungry."

She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions when he arrives here. If he liked to eat the food she cooked, then she would make it.

"Alice, you really know me!" William raised the corner of his mouth, swept away the knot from before and started to eat. Alice pointed to the strawberries on the dish and said, "You can eat this.

He turned his head when he smelled the fragrance, and saw William eating an exquisite cake. There were a lot of levels to the cake, and every piece of cake was his favorite.

It seemed to be very tasty.

Peter pursed his lips.

This scene appeared in Alice's line of sight.

The lawyer was still talking. He had been reading for an hour and still hadn't finished.

Lancaster's people were speechless looking at William and Alice. How did this seem like they were here to seek reconciliation? They simply did not put their families in their eyes.

Now that William was asking for help, what was there to be afraid of? Thinking of this, a lawyer stood out and was about to speak when Alice already stood up, picked up a piece of exquisite cake, walked to Peter and smiled at him. "I'll treat you."

"This is mine!"

William's shout scared Lancaster's lawyer and immediately shut his mouth. Everyone looked at William who had a terrible complexion.

Everyone was silent.

William did not get angry when the lawyer said that William should give away half of the N. E.

"I didn't make this." Alice stood there and spoke to William as if he was coaxing a child.

"You're fraud?"

Would he believe such nonsense?

Would he believe that she didn't make this cake by chance?

Alice bit her lips and said, "He's still a child."

"Kids can steal food?"

William asked coldly.

How could he steal it?

She treat him. She saw that this little bit only came in accordance to Lancaster family's intentions and spoke as if he was reciting the words. It was completely not his will and he did not have any ill intentions towards this youth.

Under William's cold gaze, Alice could only compromise, "Then half?"

Under the gazes of everyone present, William did not want to give Alice any face at all and said, "One third."

"That's too little."

Who would treat someone to a cake like that?

"Then one quarter!"

William said decisively, there was no room for negotiation.

"Alright, alright. One third."

Alice said quickly. She afraid that if they continued to talk, it would become one-

fifth of the original plan.

Some people from the Cullen Family were more or less used to this scene, but the people from Lancaster were all dumbstruck. As if they had seen an alien. They were unable to understand that in such an important and serious occasion, William and Alice were actually seriously discussing about dividing the cake. Alice carefully cut the cake to a third of its original size and then amiably handed it to Peter, "I'll treat you to it."

Hearing that, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and extend his hand out to receive it. The lawyer standing behind him immediately spoke up, "Mrs. Cullen, are you trying to use this method to tell us that you won't agree to so many conditions? You're going too far."

Alice looked at him speechlessly, "I'm only inviting Young Master Peter to eat a piece of cake. Young Master Peter is famous in your family for being unfavoured. Why does he eat a piece of cake require your permission? Could it be that you are even more respected than Young Master?"

"Ugh."

The lawyer was speechless.

William looked at Alice.

Tsk, it's all because of him.

Without his nurturing, how could Alice be so smart?

Alice's words dimmed the expression in Peter's eyes, who had never been spoiled before. He was the son of his father and servant and had never been spoiled in the family.

He immediately felt discomfort and took the cake from Alice's hands and started to eat it.

Alice smiled and looked at him, "Is it delicious?"

Peter looked at her, and the young Oriental woman smiled with a special charm, friendly and amiable which made he nodded stiffly.

This cake is really delicious.

"Mrs. Cullen, your intentions are really profound. If Mr. Cullen doesn't want to talk, then you can leave now. "The lawyer said coldly. They had an ace up their sleeves anyway, maybe they had even taken David down by now.

Lancaster was not afraid of the Cullen Family.

"How could I have deep intentions?"

Alice asked indifferently.

"Didn't you and Mr. Cullen discuss how to split the cake for us to see?" the lawyer asked.

"I think you misunderstood." Alice laughed. Her eyes were extremely clear without any shrewdness.

"Mr. Cullen doesn't like our conditions. You can speak frankly, why do you have to beat around the bush and pretend to be calm."

"Pfft."

Alice laughed as if she had heard a joke, "You are mistaken, my husband really likes the food I make. To him, the splitting of food is more important than the splitting of property."

The lawyer stood there, trying to find something to refute.

How could he retort when she seriously told him that he had misunderstood?

"Tell him what? Sit down and continue listening." William pulled Alice closer to him and asked her to sit down. When he saw that she had finished eating the meat. His eyes flickered as he looked at the cakes on his side. His face immediately went cold, "Listen to me, these are all mine!"

II "

The entire stadium was silent once again.

The lawyer was not sure if he should continue reading. But Frank, who was standing behind William smiled gently, "Please continue."

Didn't they come here to humiliate the Cullen Family? How did this happen?

The lawyer had to keep reading the terms, and Lancaster gave him so many that his mouth went dry.

William was eating the cake made by Alice, and was in a good mood. Frank, who was behind him, looked at the message. And his face lit up as he leaned over and whispered into William's ear, "Young master, it's done, we've saved David and Lambert."
