Chapter 1573: Where Did You Get the Confidence to Say That

"You won’t let Thomas be in danger? Where do you get the confidence to say something like that?"

Autumn York didn’t believe Alice Turner’s assurance at all, and she became even angrier than before.

From Autumn’s words and her angry demeanor, Alice was already certain that all of this was caused by Isla Lane.

With her understanding of her former mother-in-law, she knew her former mother-in-law would never tell the truth. She had seen her talent for exaggeration five years ago when she was pressured to marry.

She chose to ignore this skill of her former mother-in-law, but today, seeing her future mother-in-law so angry, she couldn’t just adopt an indifferent attitude anymore.

"Auntie! I know you’ve heard about Benjamin Shaw getting injured. It’s indeed because of me, but today’s incident was an accident, or you could even call it a coincidence."

Alice didn’t want to continue pretending to be oblivious with Autumn. Since everyone knew what was going on, she felt there was no need to keep hiding it.

To clear up any misunderstandings, she needed to speak frankly. Only this way could she and her future mother-in-law avoid any ’conflicts.’

Autumn was surprised that Alice would admit that Benjamin’s injury was because of her. This truly caught her off guard.

She thought Alice would evade or dodge, but before she could say anything, Alice brought it up herself.

She was surprised and somewhat impressed. This Alice was the same one she had learned about from her assistant before.

"Since you admit that Benjamin’s injury was because of you, regardless of whether it was a coincidence or an accident, the fact remains that he was injured and hospitalized." She didn’t care about the cause or the process; what she cared about most was the outcome.

If it had been her son there, then it would be her son who got hurt.

Thinking about it now, Autumn felt chills all over. It was said that the boy was severely injured and even needed surgery.

The boy was injured in the kidney, and like his mother said, if this affected his physiological issues, the Shaw Family would suffer a great loss.

Alice felt that Autumn made some valid points and understood why she had concerns. She was also worried about it, but he insisted on going with her.

He was willing to use harsh words to threaten her just to go with her to Derry Kingdom.

He said if she didn’t want him to go with her, he would chain her at home so she couldn’t leave.

She was used to seeing his playful side, but seeing his sudden seriousness and assertiveness, she truly felt a bit of awe towards him.

"The woman who hurt me has been arrested by the police, and no one will come after me again." That woman wasn’t even targeting her in the first place. This time, she went to Derry Kingdom only to resign, not to get involved in the Taylor Family’s feud.

Alice was determined to resign this time. No matter what, she was going to quit. She didn’t want to put herself in danger and make Thomas worry about her. She didn’t want him to be constantly anxious about her safety.

"Even though the woman has been caught by the police, she still has accomplices who will certainly come to find trouble with you."

Since it was a battle among wealthy families, it couldn’t be that simple, nor could it end that easily.

Autumn’s main concern was not aligned with what Alice wanted to express; she was convinced that Alice would bring danger to Thomas.
