Zoey was speechless.
William threw the documents in front of Alice, and stared at her coldly: "Sign it!"
Alice bit her lips, but she still felt a hint of bitterness. She looked at the documents written on the paper with the words "Severance", and her body suddenly felt a sharp pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she slowly raised her hand to hold onto her brush, her fingertips trembling.
She knew she should.
However, her body couldn't help but tremble. She couldn't control it at all.
"Sign it!" William stared at her, high above, his voice low, "Alice, they don't want you anymore! Your family has abandoned you! You're still not signing?"
They don't want you anymore, your family has abandoned you!
Yeah.
This time, they didn't want her anymore. Her family didn't want her anymore.
Hearing this, Alice bit her lips until they were white, and the hand holding the brush trembled.
"Alice, don't make me look down on you!"
William glared at her and roared, forcing her to sign.
Alice once again flipped the document, and when she reached the last page, her adoptive parents had already signed it, and only waiting for her to sign it.
She bit her lips, gripped her pen and shakily wrote her name down one by one.
Every stroke she drew represented her loss of family.
Every stroke she drew meant that she had become an abandoned child again.
After a long while, Alice finally finished writing her name, and didn't even have the strength to lift her head.
Zoey and William had been looking at her with different expressions the entire time.
William picked up the document and threw it in front of Zoey.
Zoey sat there, crying silently. She looked at Alice with a sad face and said, "Alice, mother has let you down, it was mother who did not take care of you. How could mother and daughter reach this step?"
How did they come to this point?
she wanted to ask.
Alice lowered her head, her eyes shut tight as the brush slipped out from her hands.
"The Severance has already been signed, so why are you putting on such a fake face?" William sneered and looked at Zoey in disdain.
Zoey was tongue-tied by the accusation.
William glanced at Alice and saw that she was just sitting there with her head down.
'This woman ...'
William looked coldly at Zoey, his voice gloomy, "Mrs.Clyne, we signed it, but I have to remind you of one thing."
Zoey looked at him in shock.
"Since your relationship has been severed, Alice no longer has any obligation to support you." William said harshly, "Which is to say, in the future, whether you are sick or poor or dead, the future of your family decline or fall, you do not need to come to Alice for help."
Alice kept her head down the entire time.
Zoey stared blankly at William, then looked at Alice, and said in a choked of sobs, "I know."
Why would they ask Alice for help?
What could Alice help them with?
"Don't be too confidence of yourself." William sneered, his eyes revealing an evil aura, "I have already seen your ending."
"What?" Zoey was stunned.
"I have already seen the day where all of you came to beg for Alice's help while crying." William said as he stood up and pulled Alice away. He lifted her chin with his long finger and let her look at Zoey, "Alice, look carefully at her face, it's her who abandoned you today. In the future, even if she kneels to beg you like a dog, you're not allowed to pay attention to her!"
Zoey was completely dumbstruck.
She was the one who told her to break off their relationship, but they were being said to be abandoned.
Alice looked at her foster mother.
She knew that William was helping her, helping her to regain the final bit of dignity she had in front of her foster mother.
"William, let's go."
Alice said softly, she no longer wanted to stay here.
"Alright!"
William immediately agreed, then pulled her hand and walked out.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Zoey, and coldly said, "Oh yes, after the documents are submitted to the court for entry into force, please send one of them to the Office of the President at the N.E Group headquarters. Thank you."
With that, William dragged Alice and left the coffee shop.
Zoey sat on his seat and watched them leave in shock.
William dragged Alice back into the car. From start to end, she kept her head down without saying a word. Both of her hands were on her knees and her hands were clenched into fists.
"Still crying?"
William sat beside her. He thought that she was crying with her head down and couldn't help but frown.
He rarely ever saw her cry. Even when he first imprisoned her in the Imperial Castle, he never saw her cry.
Alice remained silent.
"Lift your head up and show me what you've got!" William stared at her angrily, "You are already an adult, if no one doesn't want you, you can live on!"
He didn't like the way she looked.
