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. So, even though her tone was courteous, there was no concealing her clear refusal on the matter.
