Chapter 112: The Chosen Path
"Did you come to my house and wait for me for twenty-seven minutes just to deliver me a letter?"
Looking at the envelope in Alice's hand, Jace didn't reach out to take it, quietly looking at Alice's face, waiting for her next step. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Of course not, the letter is only incidental, I'm worried about your injury, I'm worried that of course you're going to come and see you, you're all board members, you should care about you."
"As you can see, I'm fine."
Shang still had his left arm stretched out, and the meaning of walking slowly could not be more clear, but Alice didn't see it, and sat opposite Jace and drank coffee leisurely.
"Your Japanese butler makes really good coffee."
The envelope was placed in front of Jace, but Jace still had no desire to open it.
"Not curious?"
"There's a saying in China that curiosity kills a cat, I don't know if you've heard of it," she said, taking a sip of tea and exhaling a hot breath, the same smile on her face that fell into Alice's eyes, making her a little disgusted.
If Robert hadn't told her before he left that she would have delivered the letter to Jace, she wouldn't have wanted to come here to bear this man's inexplicable character.
For some reason, she always felt that Jace wasn't very friendly to her.
"I haven't heard of it."
Even if he is dissatisfied with Jace in his heart, he still has to do it on the surface, after all, he is Robert's son, or the son he values the most, and when Robert thinks that he may be threatened by his life, Jace is his most reassuring successor.
Even, if Jace's does join the organization, then she herself is likely to become Jace's right-hand man, helping him gain a foothold in the organization.
Not for anything else, purely to repay the favor, after helping Jace gain a foothold, Alice will fulfill her promise to Robert and fully embrace freedom.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, you just need to know that I won't accept this letter."
A person who is not very familiar with you, and who gives you a sense of danger, suddenly runs into your house and stuffs you with a letter for no apparent reason, which is an act that is absolutely impossible for Jace's behavior to accept, unless there is a reason to "impress" him.
Like what
"This is what Uncle Robert put here before he went to sea, and told me that I will give it to you after he goes to sea."
With her eyes down, Alice stated a reason that Jace couldn't refuse.
Robert Quinn, about his father Jace naturally can no longer maintain his original calm appearance, frowning at Alice who is stirring coffee with a spoon, in his memory, this is not the first time that his father has asked this woman who makes Jace feel a little threatened to convey some information,
Why?
What is the relationship between his father and Alice? Pure superiors and subordinates?
Remembering Robert's answer after talking about Alice in the last father-son conversation, the poker smile on Jace's face disappeared,
Is it just to repay the favor?
Robert also said that thanks to Alice's service to him before and after the saddle over the years, he would not have been caught, but if it wasn't for what to plot, to repay the favor, he could have done this?
Maybe there are people in this world who will believe Alice's reason, but this "some" does not include him Jess Quinn.
The unimaginable experience of ordinary people gave him not only the body and skills that stood at the pinnacle of humanity, but also a heart full of doubt.
The good and evil, right and wrong in the world, he has experienced too much, and he has seen it thoroughly, and he can make him completely let go of the mask of hypocrisy, and Felicity may be the only one in this world.
"That's all I have to say, put the letter here, if you want to read it, take it and read it, if you don't read it, please burn it, in case it is seen by an unknown person, it will be troublesome, such as the little princess of your family." Putting down the coffee, the red lips outlined a dangerous aura, and the eyes of Jace on the other side suddenly sharpened,
"These sharp eyes are really a little uncomfortable, you have lost a hand, don't look at me like that,"
"If something happens to Thea, then your organization will cease to exist, I will do what I say."
Word for word, Jace was serious.
"Then give me a good consideration of my proposal, I told you before, Uncle Robert's power in the organization is not as strong as before, taking advantage of his current opportunity to travel, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will move his mind, and the people who want to protect the Quinn family, unless you can come up with a more terrifying identity and strength, otherwise honestly take over the uncle's position, this organization has the power of the world's top consortium, even the Quinn Group cannot compete with it, which is why Uncle Robert chose to compromise."
put away the hypocritical smile on his face, and responded to Jace with the same seriousness, for Alice, she was really worried about the future of the Quinn family, Robert Quinn is old, and the idea of quitting has been unknown for many years, and the decision-making level of the organization has already excluded him, as long as there is a chance, then the tragedy that happened to her at the beginning will be repeated in the Quinn family, which is the last thing she wants to see.
Tragedy, only one sample is needed.
"That's all I have to say, and one last piece of advice, I don't know what made Uncle Robert's flawless Jace Quinn look like you, but not all people in this world are as dirty as you think, and they don't have to have some ulterior motives if they don't give." After the clear voice left this last heartfelt advice, the figure in the white patent leather heels swayed away and gradually disappeared from his field of vision.
"Hattori, how credible do you say what she said?"
After being silent for a long time, Jace, who retracted his gaze, suddenly asked, and the old man who appeared in the living room at some point to collect the cup paused, and then straightened his waist,
"Didn't the young master already have a judgment in his heart?"
"So, what if my judgment is wrong?"
"What does it matter if something goes wrong? People will always make mistakes, even saints can't avoid it, so why should the young master worry? ”
The meticulously groomed gray hair glistened in the dappled and scattered sunlight, and the calm and encouraging words made Jace's face suddenly bloom with a bright smile,
I'm Jace Quinn, what do I need to worry about? If every decision doesn't go to the end, how can you know if it's worth it?
"Hattori, let's burn this letter later."
"Okay, young master." Looking at Jace's departing back, Hattori straightened up and half-bowed.
I choose to protect my family in my own way, if what you say is true.
Standing at the top of the stairs, the sunlight outside the window bathed Jace's body, like a golden suit.
