Alice smiled helplessly and walked out.
The two walked down the stairs. The moment they went out, Alice saw a familiar face.
A young woman was standing in the middle of the living room. She was dressed in European style high-end fashion, with long curly hair draped over her shoulders, and a diamond necklace around her fair neck. She had a oval face, big eyes.
Mary.
The biological daughter of her foster father, her former sister.
Alice stood there, her smile frozen in place. She had already forgotten how long it had been since she last saw Mary.
She had a deep grudge against the Clyne Family.
"Who is it?"
William walked in front of her and shot her a disdainful glance.
He had completely forgotten about such a person.
"Sis." Hearing that voice, Mary turned her gaze towards them. There was a hint of happiness in her eyes, but there was also a hint of timidness.
Sister?
William frowned.
"So I'm not mistaken, the person I saw on the street today was you." Alice said coldly, "Why are you here?"
"I..." Mary stood there, hearing her words, she hesitated for a few seconds, before whispering, "Sis, I'm right by Patrick's side."
She spoke with timidity.
She was not as flamboyant as she used to be.
Alice was stunned, Mary actually returned to Patrick's side.
She looked at William, and when William heard about Patrick, he had a ugly face, he took two steps forward and coldly looked at Mary.
"..."
William was standing in front of Mary, the aura of him made her feel uncomfortable. "Ah, I remember, you are that actress."
Mary lowered her head even more, "I stopped acting long ago, I haven't worked at all."
Being expelled out of the country by William, the three lived in a strange and poor country, with each day passing like a year.
The moment Mary's voice came out, Alice started to suspect if the person in front of her was the "little sister" she knew.
Mary's submissive appearance made Alice feel that she was stranger.
"Oh, yes, I've instructed them to make sure that your family will live like dogs."
William sneered, his tone was extremely cold.
Mary's face was pale. Without a word, she allowed William to humiliate her.
Alice looked at Mary and frowned. She had something to ask in her heart, but she merely said in the end, "Even if you're beside Patrick, he is not here. Why are you here?"
"I only came here because I heard sister had come." Mary said weakly, she moved two steps away and left William's eyesight, raising her eyes to look at Alice, "Sis, I sincerely apologize to you, in this period of time, I have reflected on it, and I know how much my family has let you down, please forgive me."
"Apologize?"
Alice thought she heard wrong.
How could it be possible for Mary to apologize to her?
"Sis, I'm really sorry. I've caused you so much suffering in the past, and I'm really sorry. It's all my fault, I won't do it again." Mary said.
Alice was no longer the type of girl who believed in anything. Hearing what she said, she felt that it was a little ridiculous.
"Is it Patrick who told you to apologize?"
she asked.
To be honest, at this moment, she did not believe that Mary was regretful.
"No, I came myself." Mary looked at her, her eyes were clearly filled with regret and remorse. "If I don't apologize to sister, I won't feel well."
William looked down at Mary, as if he was watching a play, his lips curled up into an evil smile, and walked to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, "You're apologizing just like that? Then scram."
William's voice made Mary tremble in fear.
Since the beginning, Mary was afraid of William, the man who had shot her, the man who had destroyed everything she had.
After a long while, Mary slowly walked towards Alice with tears in her eyes.
Alice stood there with the coffee cup in her hand. She didn't understand what she was trying to do, but she didn't retreat either.
Mary continued to walk towards her, until she was right in front of her.
"Bam."
Mary suddenly kneeled in front of her.
"Heh."
