It didn’t matter to her if he knew that she was cold and heartless.

Ethan was surprised. Although he was aware that she wasn’t on the best of terms with the Wolands, he hadn’t thought that it was this bad. So, he kept his eyes on Charles, who was walking into the room slowly, and asked, “What about Old Mr. Woland?”

Now, the closest kin to Alice was Charles, and she paused, hesitating for a second before explaining, “I suppose I do trust him for now, but I won’t count on him, forget depending on him to fend the others off.”

Until now, Charles hadn’t done anything to harm her, and he was her father’s closest kin, after all. Therefore, she still decided to place her trust in him. Nonetheless, she had no other sentiments to spare for that old man, and neither did she dare to do so.

After the death of her parents, she had witnessed how cruel reality could be, especially when it came to personal interests. Human nature was the thing that couldn’t withstand any tests, and she wouldn’t put the so-called human nature to the test, let alone place herself in the way of danger.

All Ethan felt was a sharp prick in his heart, as though something had stung him and he felt a numbing pain. Seven years ago, she had just turned eighteen. That year, her parents passed away and the life and death of her brother remained unknown. Ever since that day, she was placed in a tough situation where she could neither move forward nor retreat. It was evident that she had no one to trust or rely on. Those so-called family members probably set her up as though she was just a stranger, or maybe, they were even crueler than that, which disappointed her so terribly, and resulted in her sudden maturity almost overnight.

He had never known regret, but he felt such an emotion right now. He regretted not putting more people and effort into finding out the truth of what happened that night. If he had been more thorough, maybe he would have found her, and she wouldn’t have been so lonely and helpless in the past seven years.

Suddenly, Charles called out to Alice, “Come here, Alice. Come next to me.”
