Chapter 1220: 638: Extra Story – The Big Bad Wolf’s Plan Succeeds, Net Tightens (Part 1)

"Hey, Keith Antony..."Alice Robinson didn’t have time to say anything before Keith Antony had already turned and walked down the stairs.

Alice Robinson was frustrated.

Chester Robinson appeared beside her at an unknown moment, "What’s wrong?"

Alice Robinson lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, "It’s nothing."

Chester Robinson squinted suspiciously.

"I’m going to wash my face." With that, Alice Robinson awkwardly went into the bathroom.

Alice Robinson went downstairs after washing her face.

In the downstairs dining room, Keith Antony was talking cheerfully with several of the villa’s maids.

Alice Robinson could already guess what Keith Antony was discussing with the maids. She braced herself and called out, "Keith Antony."

Keith Antony came over immediately, wearing a faint smile, "Miss Alice."

Alice Robinson pulled Keith Antony to the side and said seriously, "You really shouldn’t misunderstand... nothing happened between Chester and me last night, we..."

The smile lines at the corners of Keith Antony’s mouth deepened, "Miss Alice, there’s no need to explain... you know I’ve always hoped you and the boss could get back together... hehe..."

Alice Robinson was embarrassed, "No, Keith Antony, I..."

"Boss!"

Keith Antony’s radiant smile greeted Chester Robinson behind Alice Robinson.

Alice Robinson turned to see Chester Robinson, her body stiffening for a moment.

Chester Robinson glanced at Alice Robinson, coldly instructing Keith Antony, "Get ready, after breakfast, we’re leaving Florida."

Keith Antony’s mouth dropped open in surprise, "Boss..."

Chester Robinson’s face darkened, "Go and prepare!"

Keith Antony was dumbstruck for a few seconds, then silently withdrew.

Alice Robinson kept her head down, not looking at Chester Robinson.

Chester Robinson said, "Thank you for taking care of me last night."

Alice Robinson lightly shook her head, "It was nothing."

Chester Robinson gently said, "Let’s eat!"

"Okay."

The atmosphere during breakfast was very quiet, only the faint sound of utensils clashing could be heard.

Alice Robinson’s mind was a bit chaotic, her thoughts continuously revolving around him.

There were his multiple confessions to her on the island, and last night... seeing him drunk, she actually felt upset and wanted to stay by his side to take care of him.

Suddenly, Chester Robinson put down his utensils, wearing a blank expression as he broke the silence, "Last night, we spent the last of our seven days. I still couldn’t persuade you to stay with me... Although this may be my greatest regret in life, I’ll keep my promise and let you go."

Alice Robinson kept her head down, biting her lip. Why did her heart ache so when he said such things?

Chester Robinson sighed and stood up, "Check if there’s anything you left behind and pack up, we’ll be leaving the island soon."

Leaving those words, Chester Robinson turned and walked out of the dining room.

Alice Robinson sat numbly in her chair, watching Chester Robinson’s retreating figure through the corner of her eye.

His voice seemed to elongate in her peripheral vision, seemingly full of solitude.

Alice Robinson couldn’t eat breakfast anymore, feeling a bitterness in her throat.

"I love you, Alice... no matter what, for the sake of Rachel, give me another chance to take care of you both."

His words from last night echoed clearly in her ears.

She bit her lip and closed her eyes in pain.

As soon as Chester Robinson stepped out of the dining room, Keith Antony caught up with him.

"Boss..."

Chester Robinson sat down in the hall with a blank expression.

Keith Antony glanced at Alice Robinson in the dining room and whispered, "Did I hear it right? You’re going to take Miss Alice Robinson off the island and leave Florida with her?"

Chester Robinson glanced at Keith Antony, "Any questions?"

Keith Antony nodded vigorously, "I thought last night, you and Miss Alice Robinson already..."

Chester Robinson’s expression turned stern, "Is this all you think about?"

"I..." Keith Antony didn’t dare to argue, lowered his head, and murmured, "I don’t know who’s been thinking about these things all year, pretending to be drunk last night..."

Chester Robinson narrowed his eyes, "What are you muttering about?"

Keith Antony quickly put on a flattering smile, "Nothing, boss... I was saying, whether or not you and Miss Alice Robinson had anything last night—haha, you’re not going to let Miss Alice Robinson go back to General Laurence, are you?"

Chester Robinson didn’t answer, just curved his lips slightly.

Keith Antony noticed the tiny motion and asked curiously, "Boss, I noticed Miss Alice Robinson seemed quite upset these past two days... last night, she even cried while taking care of you."

"Too chatty." Chester Robinson lifted a glass of red wine beside him and sipped it, in a rather good mood. "By the way, did you finish what I asked you to do?"

Keith Antony nodded quickly, "Robin called me this morning, asking when Miss Alice Robinson would leave the island. I told Robin that you and Miss Alice Robinson were still asleep, and would reply once Miss Alice Robinson woke up..." Reaching this point, Keith Antony slyly smiled, "It took Robin a while to catch on, and I’m afraid he will quickly report this to General Laurence."
