E—verything was done by him ...

"Okay, okay. Please take a seat, I'll go to check the back to see if there are any components involved,and if there are any, I'll give it to Mr. Cullen to fix right now." The boss politely said to William.
"Hurry up."
William said coldly, he carried Alice and sat on a wooden chair by the side, the furniture here all simple and unadorned.
Alice raised her purple sand teacup, and caressed the edge of the cup with her fingertips. "Steward Daniel must really like this tea."
"He's not dead yet. There's no need to miss him." William glanced at her and said unhappily, "I'm not dead yet, and don't think about another man in front of me."
"William!"
Alice frowned, and she could not stand talking about death in front of her anymore.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
William held the thin lip, and elegantly sat down. He held her hand across the table, and casually bent her hand over. He suddenly said in a deep voice, "The doctor said that he will be fine."
Alice looked up at William, and understood that he was comforting her, nodded, "Mhm."
She knew that Daniel's life wasn't in danger, but seeing him suffer such a pain at such an age made her feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels on old — fashioned wooden stairs could be heard. Alice turned to look at the side door, only to hear a familiar voice, "Sorry for the trouble, boss, I will be leaving San Francisco in the next two days. My father likes this watch, so he has to transfer it for me."
Mona.
Lancaster Mona.
Mona and the owner walked down the stairs. She was wearing a red coat that accentuated her slender and curvaceous body, as well as long, golden hair onto her shoulders, making her look extremely charming.
When she saw William and Alice sitting in the booth, Mona's smile froze.
Alice sat there silently, and turned to look at William who was at the side. William's
expression was ice — cold, his black eyes swept Mona a disdainful glance, and then, without taking another glance at her, he raised his cup and drank a mouthful of tea before placing the teacup back down, saying coldly, "It's so bad to drink."
Mona stood there, and upon hearing this, the expression on her beautiful face became even uglier.
She stepped on her high heels and walked towards them as she looked at William with her blue eyes, "Mr. Cullen is still a famous person of his generation,and you don't need to indirectly scold others, right? Mr. Cullen should be clearer than anyone else about who will let down who."
Mr. Cullen.
Alice lowered her eyes. It seemed that this time, he broke the engagement with Mona in public, causing her to completely give up on him.
"Who scolded you?" William lazily sat there and looked at her coldly. "Besides, I do not indirectly need to blame you?"
There was no sense of guilt.
Mona clenched her bag even more, she looked at them, and in the end, her gaze fell on Alice, "Congratulations, you have gotten your wish, how does this concubine feel?"
Alice frowned, but just as she was about to speak, William had already said coldly, "She can't be bothered by you. Lancaster, if you know what's good for you, leave now. Otherwise...."
"How can you be rude to me?" Mona mocked, "I have already become the joke of the entire aristocracy, who knows how many people in the whole world are talking about me right now?"
"Congratulations, you're red."
William said indifferently. The tone of his voice almost made Mona feel much angry.
Alice sat at the side, not saying a word.
Mona tightened her grip on her bag, her beautiful blue eyes showing her anger. "Alright, William, you are ruthless enough. I, Lancaster Mona, am blind to fall in love with you."
In the ancient lobby, the boss was standing on the counter, fixing his pocket watch. From time to time, he would glance over and listen to the gossip.
The three protagonists of engagement ceremony in this world actually coincidentally met in his shop,and if he were to take a picture, it would be a big news.
Hearing that, William smirked and laughed sinisterly, "Then when you go out, don't run into a wall."
Looking at his cold and heartless appearance, Mona gnashed her teeth in hatred. Her eyes were so sour that they were shining with water,and she proudly straightened her body and forced her tears back, "William, I don't think I have anything that let you down,but you really don't have any guilt at all?"
"You are the one who has let me down the most!" William said coldly, holding Alice's hand and saying each word without a trace of pity, "If you like me, then hide in England. Why are you deliberately running in front of me? You brought all of this upon yourself, so why should I feel guilty towards you? "
"..."
This was the second time that Mona had been humiliated to such an extent by him since the beginning of the engagement ceremony.
No matter how hard a person's heart was made of stone, if they didn't love each other, they would still be moved by others. Why was William like this?
Alice looked at Mona. Mona had a proud look on her face, but it was obvious that she would cry if she turned her head around.
As a woman, Alice also felt that William's humiliation to Mona was harsh, but when she thought about how Mona wanted to put her to death, she could not sympathize, and she allowed William to humiliate Mona as she wished.
"Did I ask for it? Hur hur, that's right, I asked for it."
Mona laughed at herself and took two steps back. She turned around and was about to leave when her gaze swept across William's face.
She could not help but say, "It looks like that there is no need for us Lancaster family to help you. You can't even pass your parents' test."
"Scram!"
William glared at her coldly.
