Chapter 1179: Chapter 617: Extra Story: Who Can Understand His Heart? (2-2)

After leaving these words, Claud Laurence walked heavily out of the room.

Alice Robinson stared at Claud Laurence’s back, frozen in place.

In the carriage, the beautiful secretary Linda was reporting to Chester Robinson.

"Mr. Robinson, the German government is very satisfied with Edward. The design draft has been approved, and next it will be handed over to ’Geoffrey’ for construction... Aside from you, the German government has also invited Mr. Geoffrey and Mr. Jones to be guests at the project’s opening ceremony, so you need to stay in Germany for a few more days."

"Well, accept the government’s invitation for me and tell them I will attend the opening ceremony."

"But Mr. Robinson... the opening ceremony is also Miss Olivia Kellogg’s birthday, and she asked long ago for you to make time. She hopes you can spend her birthday with her."

While looking at the documents, Chester Robinson frowned and said indifferently, "Get rid of that woman; I don’t want to see her again."

The beautiful secretary had been with Chester Robinson for a long time and understood his nature, so she didn’t ask more questions, only nodded, "Alright, I will handle it..."

"Miss Alice?"

Keith Antony’s startled exclamation interrupted Linda’s voice.

Chester Robinson raised his eyes.

Keith Antony hurriedly turned his head to look at Chester Robinson, "Boss, isn’t that Miss Alice? Why is she walking alone by the roadside, looking lost?"

Chester Robinson had already seen Alice outside the car window, waiting at the traffic lights, indeed appearing dazed and confused as Keith Antony described.

Alice took a step forward, walking blankly towards the opposite side.

The sound of horns constantly reached her ears, but she didn’t hear them.

Suddenly, an urgent braking sound came...

Alice finally snapped back to reality, but when she reacted, the car was already so close...

She screamed in shock, but at that moment, a strong arm embraced her to the side of the road.

Terrified, she saw the driver sticking his head out to curse at her, while a familiar, pleasant masculine scent lingered around her.

She first saw the arm holding her, the familiar strength slowly making her raise her head, first seeing the dark suit, then a tall figure, and then she met a pair of deep black eyes.

She almost instinctively pushed him away.

She turned to run, but he caught her arm.

She struggled hard, but he spun her into his embrace as a car brushed past his back.

Alice finally realized the danger just now and stopped moving.

After the traffic had passed, Chester Robinson finally let her go, pulling her to the side of the road, "Are you suicidal?"

Alice didn’t respond to Chester Robinson, removed his hand, and turned to leave.

Chester Robinson said coldly, "Even if you don’t care about your life, you should at least think of Rachel. Do you want Rachel to lose her father and then her mother too?"

Alice suddenly turned back sharply, "What right do you have to say that to me?"

Chester Robinson fell silent.

Alice resumed her stride, leaving without looking back.

Chester Robinson caught up with her, turning her around, looking into her reddened eyes, "What’s wrong with you?"

Alice resisted and broke free from him, "I’m fine."

He saw the faint shimmer of tears in her eyes, "Have you been crying?"

Alice abruptly pushed Chester Robinson away, "I don’t need you to care."

"Who bullied you?"

Alice completely ignored Chester Robinson, turned to leave.

However, her thin body was once again held by him.

The natural disparity in physical strength between men and women made it impossible for her to break free from him again; she glared at him angrily, "What do you want to do?"

He stared at her eyes full of tears, his voice low and gentle, "Who bullied you?"

"I don’t need you to care!"

"Was it Rodney?" He narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous cunning glow in his eyes.

Alice didn’t want to be involved with Chester Robinson, so she started to struggle again.

During the struggle, her phone fell to the ground.

Alice instinctively wanted to pick it up, but Chester Robinson had already taken her phone.

She tried to snatch it, but he held her wrist tightly, raising the phone high with the other hand.

The screen lit up after falling to the ground, displaying the call history.

The screen showed only outgoing calls, all dialed to Claud Laurence, but despite so many calls, Claud Laurence hadn’t answered any.

Chester Robinson put down the phone, looking at Alice without expression.

Alice furiously snatched back her phone, glaring at him with hatred.

Chester Robinson’s face was dark, but his voice was gentle, "He refuses to answer your calls?"

Alice remained cold, "I don’t need you to care!"

"Did you have a fight with him?"

Alice didn’t answer.

Chester Robinson observed her sharply, "Because of what?"

In that second, Alice turned away, leaving coolly.

Keith Antony came up, looking at Alice’s slender departing back, asked, "Boss, what’s wrong with Miss Alice?"

Chester Robinson watched as Alice hurriedly got into a taxi, his thin lips indifferent, "Investigate Claud Laurence’s whereabouts for me."

"Yes."

Chester Robinson had just returned to the hotel, not expecting Claud Laurence to have already been waiting under the sunshade by the pool.

Keith Antony was about to report Claud Laurence’s arrival in Germany from the United Arab Emirates to Chester Robinson when he saw Claud Laurence under the sunshade from afar.

Keith Antony spoke out, "Boss, General Laurence..."

Chester Robinson gestured for everyone to retreat.

Keith Antony nodded and left with the bodyguards.

Chester Robinson went over and sat next to Claud Laurence, "I was just about to look for you."

Claud Laurence held a glass of red wine, took a sip, looking at it, said lightly, "Perhaps you should first hear the reason I came to you."

Chester Robinson looked at Claud Laurence without expression.

Claud Laurence suddenly heavily put down the wineglass, leaned forward and grabbed Chester Robinson’s collar, "You really are my good brother, Chester... you’re worthy of our years of brotherhood!"

Chester Robinson stood up, emotionless, "If there’s something, say it."

Claud Laurence gritted his teeth and said, "You can still be so calm and indifferent?"

Chester Robinson looked at Claud Laurence with a calm expression.

At this moment, Claud Laurence threw a heavy punch at Chester Robinson.

Fortunately, Keith Antony stepped in front of Chester Robinson in time, "General Laurence, please calm down..."

Chester Robinson straightened his collar, speaking lightly, "What could cause you to lose your reason like this?"

Claud Laurence clenched his fists, but a strong capacity for self-control and tolerance slowly let him regain control of his emotions, picking up the nearby wineglass and smashing it hard.
