Chapter 218 Ethan Had Found Out (3)

“I came here today to speak with you especially, Mr. West. Is now a good time?” Lawrence had come with a bagful of sincerity today.

“I’m sorry. Mr. Knight.” Alice knew the reason that brought him here and what he wanted to speak about, still she wouldn’t agree to his request because she wanted nothing to do with the Knight Family anymore.

Moreover, she had other plans in motion, so it was currently impossible for her to join the Knight Group. I’m sorry, Mr. Knight.” She repeated the same words using the same courteous tone, but there was definitely a significant cadence of dissent when she said them.
