"Why didn't you tell this to William?"
Alice asked.
"If I tell him, you think he will come back and inherit the Cullen Family? He has a paranoia personality disorder, he won't do that." Elizabeth said with a tone that was filled with despair.
"Is inheriting the Cullen Family so important? William has his own business empire and he has achievements that no one can compare to in the field of science and technology. As long as he is here, the Cullen Family will never collapse." Alice said.
She really did not understand why they insisted on the word "inheritance".
Was it that important?
"What about the glory of the clan? And what about all the maintenance of the family reputation? Will he do it? " Elizabeth looked at Alice and asked.
Alice was rendered speechless by the question. She knew very well that William only liked to research in science and technology. Even in his large business empire, there were many teams taking care of his interpersonal relationships for him.
He did not like the complicated internal affairs of the Cullen Family, let alone take care of them himself.
"Is it that important?"
Alice asked.
Elizabeth knew what she asked about and smiled bitterly as she stood up from the bench, and looked at the sky, "After so many years, I don't know if it's important anymore, I only know that my husband has been working hard for so long, and is still not willing to give up until his death."
"On the day of his death, he brought me the double he trained." Elizabeth said, "He told me that as long as William is not willing to wholeheartedly contribute to Cullen Family, this double would continue to replace him."
Alice was shocked.
Elizabeth turned around to face her, opened her arms and caressed a flower on the tree. "You heard it just now, there are always all kinds of matters waiting for him to settle, including the balancing with various great clans. If not for the fact that this enormous Cullen Family still has Master Cullen's name supporting it, it would be a hundred times more declining than it is right now."
So that's how it was.
Alice finally understood everything. Everything was done for Cullen Family's so- called glory.
"That's because all of you place too much importance on so- called fame. That's why you're led away by the nose."
Alice said, her voice was hoarse.
"That's right. It's like human dignity. One can ignore anything but dignity, but how many people can do that?" Elizabeth asked.
Alice was speechless.
Elizabeth looked at her, her voice choked with emotion, "I won't force you as a commoner to understand this, but I hope that you can keep this a secret and not tell William about it."
This matter was not yet known to William.
Alice shook her head, "William is already willing to inherit the Cullen Family, I do not understand why I should hide this."
Back then, when William made trouble, he said that he would not inherit it because the Cullen Family wished for him to marry
Mona.
"I mean wholeheartedly."
Elizabeth said.
Hearing that, Alice quickly said: "You are forcing him to do so."
How could William wholeheartedly attend the Cullen Family's internal affairs? In her opinion, William should be the one wandering around the scientific and technological realm, that was his true nature.
"Then even if he were to inherit the Cullen Family, it would be impossible for him to sincerely manage it. At that time, the Cullen Family would decline as well." Elizabeth said, "It's better for me and a corpse supporting the whole family. At the very least, I can hold on for more than ten or twenty years, I definitely can't let the Cullen Family collapse!"
What she wanted was for the Cullen Family to become prosperous and be looked up to by others forever, and not just for William to earn some money.
Alice stood in front of Elizabeth, looked at the tears on her face, and her brows knitted slightly.
Elizabeth looked at her and asked, "You are not willing to lie to William?"
Alice remained silent. In her opinion, Master Cullen and Elizabeth were like those people in the Lancaster family, who had all fallen into a demonic state for some unknown reason.
"Bam."
Elizabeth suddenly kneeled in front of her.
Alice looked at Elizabeth in shock and quickly reached out to support her, "What are you doing? Get up."
Kneeling down to her.
"Don't expose this matter. Don't tell anyone else. I can't disappoint my husband. I definitely won't allow current situation to get any worse."
Elizabeth said, "Alice, you were held in the palm of William's hand, so I can't do anything to you. I don't expect you to understand the future of Cullen Family either, I only hope that you keep this matter a secret for the time being."
The future of Cullen Family could not be undermined by anyone.
"Mother, get up."
Alice pulled her, but was falied to do so. She turned and looked at Charles, "Charles, come over and help."
Charles stood there and did not move, he only said, "Young Madam, just agree to Madam.'
Alice opened her eyes wide in shock. She had even forgotten how many things had happened to her today.
"We have always maintained the false image that the master is still alive, and at first I thought that Madam had put on a good act, but in the end, Madam would say to me that Master had praised her for the good dress yesterday; Master said he would go to a trip with her; I should bring Master a glass of milk." Charles said.
"Are you saying that Mother is completely immersed in this play?" Alice asked in surprise.
After asking this question, her heart fiercely trembled.
Charles sighed, "Yes, so I am really worried about Madam's situation. I hope Second Young Master is willing to return home and take responsibility before the news of Master's death can be spread, so that Madam can clear her mind, that she won't get addicted to it."
Alice was speechless.
"Young Mistress, the current Cullen Family is like a castle built using bamboo sticks. It looks incomparably majestic, but as long as one gently pushes it, it would be as weak as sand." Charles said, "Please give it some thought, Young Madam."
Alice stopped in her tracks and did not speak.
"Then I'll go serve Madam."
Charles said, then turned and left.
Alice stood there, looking at his back and couldn't help but ask, "Charles, why did mother freeze Father's body for four years?"
Hearing that, Charles turned to look at her and sighed, "This is another story."
Alice looked at him silently.
"Actually, I do not know the reason. I only know that Madam had admired Master for a long time and had done many things in secret before successfully marrying him. But Master only knows to fight for Cullen Family all these years." Charles said, "For the past four years, Madam always went to the study room to talk with Master. Maybe this is what she wants."
She wanted it.
A living person couldn't give her much gentleness, but after death, he finally belonged to her, so Elizabeth didn't want Master Cullen to leave.
As Alice listened, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
If it was really like this, then Elizabeth had done far too much for Master Cullen, and had been let down and ignored far too much.
"What are you thinking? Hey!"
"Alice, are you day-dreaming?"
"Don't tell me you're thinking about other men.
I'll kill you!"
