Chapter 1189: Chapter 622: Extra: The Big Bad Wolf Lets Go of the Little White Rabbit Again_2

Chester looked at Alice, speechless.

"Stop being so selfish. Not everything in this world revolves around you. I’ve completely left your world. We have no past, and we can never return to the past," Alice concluded with an expressionless face.

At this moment, silence and oppression filled the space between the two.

"No matter how much resentment you have toward me," Chester finally spoke, his hoarse voice dry, "I will prove to you that both the past and current me have deeply loved you. I just didn’t know how to cherish it in the past. I squandered my chance when I had you, but in the future, I won’t let myself repeat the same mistakes." His response was straightforward and domineering.

His seemingly affectionate words made her want to laugh, "I don’t deny that a year ago, I loved you, but a year has passed. Whether it’s love or resentment, those feelings and emotions have already faded with time and distance." Her eyes carried no trace of amusement, "So, I don’t care about your reasons or explanations now."

He lowered his eyes, staring deeply at her.

"You, always so full of yourself, don’t believe this truth, do you?" Alice laughed coldly, "Maybe my feelings for you in the past were too obvious, so you naturally assumed I still care, but you don’t understand that I can pick up and let go. When I left the letter and said goodbye to you a year ago, that was when I completely abandoned you."

Chester’s deep gaze dimmed, remnants of defeat in his eyes.

"So, all I can say is, I’m sorry." She looked at him, continuing coldly, "No matter how much I was infatuated with you in the past, to the current me, that’s already something long past."

Having said that, Alice broke free from Chester’s hold, bypassed him, and left.

"Don’t bother telling me you no longer care, unless, in the days to come, you genuinely feel nothing at all." He stood behind her, speaking calmly.

Her steps paused, and she looked up to see Keith Antony and several bodyguards standing in front of her.

He had no intention of letting her go, no matter what she said; he believed it was all her facade.

Alice looked at Keith, "Even you agree with what he’s doing now?"

Keith’s face showed remorse, "Miss Alice, please give the boss another chance; he truly cares about you."

Alice turned her face away, speechless to Keith’s blind loyalty.

Chester’s cold silhouette had already come to her side, looking at her, his voice deep, "Come back to me, let me prove it to you."

Alice didn’t even bother to lift her eyes, "Impossible."

"I also won’t let you go," he remained as autocratic as ever.

Alice couldn’t help but glare, facing his expressionless yet cold and arrogant face.

"You want to take my girlfriend away, at least you should get my consent!"

An icy voice interjected at this moment.

Alice and Chester both looked at the newcomer.

It was Claud Laurence.

He had tracked Alice’s location and arrived just in time.

"Claud."

Alice wanted to walk toward Claud, but her waist was already firmly locked by an arm.

The scene of Chester holding Alice was an eyesore for Claud.

Claud stepped in front of them, looking coldly at Chester, "Taking a brother’s girlfriend, is that your sense of brotherhood?"

Brother?

Alice was stunned. When did they become brothers?

Claud glanced at Alice’s shocked face, "Yes, Chester and I have known each other for many years."

Alice was dumbfounded.

Claud continued looking at Chester, "We’ve been friends for over a decade... A year ago, he contacted me, saying he had a sister to introduce me to, so I came to Paris from New York. Under his arrangement, I met his sister, and after two meetings, I was deeply moved by her. Later, I took the girl to Tokyo and officially started pursuing her."

Alice shook her head in disbelief, looking at Chester.

Chester’s eyes narrowed, coldly staring at Claud.

Claud’s gaze was equally dark, his force matching Chester’s, "You didn’t want her, you introduced her to me, arranged for me to gradually enter her life. Now, on what grounds do you bring her back?"

Chester’s face was grim, the tight lines on his face signaling his anger.

Alice’s face gradually turned pale.

"You never cared about her... even when you were on the brink of death, you still thought about how to rid yourself of her... To get rid of her, you even decided to let her know you were dead, regardless of the operation’s outcome. You didn’t want her to pester you further."

Chester’s face was cold, his eyes narrowing into a dangerous slit, "Claud Laurence!!"

Claud’s eyes met his menacingly, speaking coldly, "Chester, you’re not worthy of having Alice!!"

Chester’s expression turned extremely dark.

Alice already coldly stared at Chester.

Chester tightened his hold on Alice, "Listen to my explanation..."

Alice raised her hand, intending to slap Chester.

However, the slap was stopped by Keith.

Chester calmly explained, "Alice, my intentions were not as Claud said. I wasn’t trying to get rid of you..."

"Is that so?" Claud squinted questioningly, "Remember when I advised you not to be so cruel to Alice?"

"Enough!!" Alice tried her best to break free from Chester, facing him with a cold face, "In your heart, what kind of clingy woman am I, that you needed to put so much effort into getting rid of me?"

"Alice..."

Chester’s words were cut off by Alice, "Thankfully, I always had self-awareness. If I had stayed by your side after your surgery, would you have thought I was clinging to you?"

"Miss Alice, I assure you the boss didn’t mean that. At the time, the boss didn’t know the outcome of the surgery. He was worried you wouldn’t have anyone to care for you afterward, so he entrusted General Laurence to look after you..." Keith hurriedly added to explain for Chester.

Claud snorted, "That explanation seems a bit far-fetched. Even if the surgery’s outcome was good, hiding it from Alice, was that really for her benefit?"

Keith was very anxious, "Miss Alice..."

Alice interrupted Keith, "No need to explain further. I know very well what his decision truly meant." With that, Alice no longer spared Chester a glance. She took Claud’s hand, "Let’s go."
