Chapter 1037 - 534: Extra: Confession 2
She never expected that her thoughts would be seen through by him so easily."Want to explain, but can’t find the words?" He looked at her coldly, his unfamiliar gaze making her feel chilled.
"A woman who never stops until she achieves her goals, suddenly being exposed, that must feel uncomfortable, right?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about... Rachel almost got kidnapped by people sent by Robinson in Paris, I was worried about Rachel, that’s why I came to T City with Assistant Antony." She could only tough it out like this, as she couldn’t say what was in her heart to him at this moment.
Suddenly, she had a realization that she shouldn’t have come to T City.
His extreme indifference and the disdain shining in his eyes seemed to have already given her an answer.
"Playing dumb?"
Chester Robinson sneered, his handsome face contorted, "Alice, you forget I’ve always had the ability to see through you."
His expression was stern, and she no longer had room to speak.
"I imagine you think you can act recklessly here with me, right?" He approached her, lifted her chin, and looked at her with a blank expression, "Tell me, what is your purpose for appearing here?"
Despite his gentle tone, his gloomy gaze held no emotion whatsoever.
"I..."
Her throat tightened, unable to produce any sound.
"To be honest, I have no patience left to uncover your lies further."
His tone was contemptuous, and the fingers gripping her chin cruelly intensified the pressure, causing her a wave of pain in her jaw.
"I... I have something I want to tell you personally." She clutched the collar of her shirt, listening to her voice speaking.
"Speak, I’m listening." He released her, his lack of force scraped her skin.
"There are things I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time... I..." Ignoring the injury he caused, she trembled and continued, "I’ve been thinking... whether we could develop something together."
"Brother, over the years, apart from Daddy, you’re the best person to me, I’ve long been accustomed to treating you as my most reliant person..."
"At the most dangerous moment, you used your body to shield me from the bullet, this is something I’m forever grateful and moved by, it was during that time while you were in a coma from protecting me that I realized, the person I cared about most... was you."
"During your one year coma, I was so helpless in this world, I really wanted you to wake up... I spoke to you by your bedside every day, hoping you could hear what I said."
She mustered all the courage in her body to express the words she had hidden in her heart, but his expression didn’t reveal the touching surprise she expected, instead it grew increasingly cold.
She choked and came to a stop, noticing the sour feeling in her heart.
His indifference caught her off guard.
"Because you are helpless, you wish to find someone to lean on?"
He looked at her coldly, word by word, staring at her with an intensity that seemed to bleed.
"No." She shook her head, wanting to clarify, "I’m not looking for someone to rely on because I’m helpless, but because I like you..."
"Like?"
He scoffed. "The noble Miss Robinson, always insisting on marrying Howard Geoffrey, the CEO of ’Skytop’ Group, now suddenly turns towards the ’brother’ she always looked down upon?"
"I didn’t look down upon you."
"Do you think I couldn’t see it? Alice Robinson, I know exactly what kind of personality you have... From childhood, living like a parasite in a wealthy family, you’re accustomed to exploiting and possessing, so when your rich life is threatened, when no one flatters, protects, or commands you, you think of self-protection... so you ’stoop down’, regardless of dignity, to come to me, hoping we could return to how things were, where my world revolved around you, you directed and commanded me, a person at your beck and call... But alas, Alice, haven’t you understood certain things even until today?"
Alice Robinson stared blankly at him.
He let out a cold laugh, "At sixteen, you were infatuated with Howard Geoffrey, you thought meeting him at an auction was fate, but did you ever think that perhaps such fate could also be considered manufactured."
The scene suddenly traced back to sixteen years ago...
Back then, because she was still young, her father didn’t want her to attend public events, hence he prohibited her from attending that charity banquet...
She hadn’t intended to go, but her brother suddenly said he had no date and wanted her to reluctantly accompany him, asking her to attend as his date.
