Alice was so frightened that she retreated two steps, widened her eyes as she watched the bookshelf move.
So it wasn't the lock of a safe, it was a machine.
The shelves moved and stacked in front of another bookshelf, like a sliding door. Inside was still a room.
The light inside was dim.
Alice took two steps forward and peeked her head in. An indescribable coldness drifted out, causing her to shiver.
Inside, there was a row of cabinets with many badges on it. It should be Master Cullen's reward, there were so many of them.
Master Cullen had really done many things for the sake of the Cullen Family's reputation. Alice walked two steps forward and saw a golden door. The room inside was extremely dark.
Alice pursed her lips, quietly walked in, and looked around.
The deeper she went, the colder it became. Would it not freeze someone to death?
Alice finally understood why Master Cullen's watch was so cold. She continued to walk further in, and slowly, the world at the other end entered her eyesight.
There were many fresh flowers picked from the garden on the ground. Alice thought that Master Cullen was someone who loved flowers, but she saw a dark wooden chest with complicated engravings.
Alice hugged herself as she looked over with suspicion.
No, that's not a wooden box. Why does it look like a coffin?
Study room? A coffin?
Realizing this, Alice's eyes widened in fear. She did not dare go any closer and turned around to run.
No, she had to tell William right away, there was something weird about the Cullen Family.
He must come back and check.
William had probably not known anything since he had left home for many years.
Afraid, Alice stumbled and ran out.
On the other side, the afternoon sunlight was just right and warm enough. Daniel led the horse and walked towards William, who pulled the reins and elegantly mounted the horse.
David rode his horse to his side and laughed, "I still like to hunt in the forest at home. I don't have any sense of direction here."
"A loss is a loss. What excuse are you trying to come up with?"
William mocked him as he glanced at him. Suddenly, his eye twitched and his expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
David thought that he had thought of something important.
William pulled the reins and said coldly, "My eyes twitched a little."
"So?" David didn't understand what he wanted to express.
"Daniel, dial Alice's number." William ordered coldly, he handed the gun in his hand over to the servant beside him.
David rubbed the horse beneath him, confused by his words, "What does this have to do with Alice?"
"In China, there's a saying about twiching eyes, which means bad omen." William growled, staring at Daniel gloomily, he said impatiently, "Have you called yet? Why are you so slow!"
"Bad omen?" David was stunned, then he laughed: "When did you become so superstitious about this?"
"After meeting Alice."
David sat on a white horse and helplessly laughed, watching as William impatiently grabbed his phone and personally made a call.
William's anxious and furious expression slowly froze David's smile. It was better for a person to be a paranoia, they could do whatever they want, express whatever they want. Such a life would save them a lot of regrets.
The call finally connected. William asked without thinking, "Alice, are you alright?"
His tone was anxious.
David started laughing. Alice, on the other side, would definitely not understand what was going on.
"Alice, speak!"
William didn't manage to get an answer from Alice as he sat on the horse.
"I'm fine, what can happen to me?"
Alice's calm voice sounded.
"What are you doing?"
William asked.
"Me?" Alice paused for a moment, then said: "I hung a new painting in the study, you will see it when you return."
"Oh, If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you might as well rest." That way, she would have the energy to deal with him in the evening.
"Oh, okay."
