— So, it was him who stole it!
"Shall we go back now? Not looking for the robot? " Sue asked puzzledly. Did they really come to the Borg Island to travel?
William sat there without saying a word.
Alice looked at him, thought for a while, then smiled and said to Sue, "Hmm, I won't look for it anymore, I'll go back now."
William had already said like that to her. She believed that William had his own plans, so she didn't ask any further.
Sue looked at them in shock.
Alice took off the wig on her head, turned around and went to pour some water. Sue immediately followed and asked nervously, "Miss Alice, are you really not going to look for the robot anymore?"
Alice nodded and poured the water into the cup.
"Why? Just leave the robot on the island? What if the islanders damage it? Why are you guys leaving even without trying?"
Sue said.
Alice turned around and looked at her." Miss Sue, you seem to really want us to stay.
Was she the guy?
No, to William, Sue was definitely not someone who was close to him.
Hearing that, Sue was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "No, I just feel that it's strange. Didn't you guys specially come to look for the robot? Why are you leaving?"
Alice smiled, "I don't know what my husband is thinking either, but he has his reasons."
With that, Alice walked towards William with the cup in hand. She passed the cup to him and turned to look, "Where's father? We've been on the yacht for so long, why haven't I seen foster father?"
Wasn't foster father guarding the yacht?
"Young Master, why did you return so quickly?" Daniel walked in from outside with a bag on his shoulder. When he saw them, he immediately put it aside.
"Foster father? Where did you go? " Alice walked forward, "Why are you carrying a bag?"
"Oh, I went to help look for Mr Palace."
Daniel said.
"Aren't you supposed to wait on the yacht?" William looked up. He lifted his cup and drank a mouthful of water, "You now think you don't have to listen to any orders?"
Daniel's lips moved as he stood there. He wanted to say something, but was defeated by William's fierce gaze. In the end, he did not say a word.
"That's enough, there's no need to look for it. Let's go back home!"
William placed the cup on the ground heavily.
Daniel stood there and did not move.
The air seemed to have been frozen.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Start the yacht!" William's tone instantly turned cold, "Do you want me to serve you?"
"..."
Daniel was still motionless.
"What, you really don't want to stay in Cullen Family anymore?" William coldly snorted.
Daniel still did not move. He looked at William, and then slowly lowered his head. He stood there without speaking, and did not leave either.
This was the first time Alice saw stubbornness in Daniel.
At this moment, Alice gradually understood. She retreated step by step until she was standing next to William, then looked at Daniel with a pale face. "Foster father, it's you?"
It was her foster father.
He was the one who led them to the island.
Daniel knew that his plan had been exposed, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, "Sorry, Young Master."
"Bam!"
William sat there and suddenly raised his hand to smash the cup.
Daniel did not even try to dodge as he just stood there with his head lowered.
"Interesting?" William glared at him and spoke with an extremely gloomy tone, "Do you take me as a toy? Who gave you the guts!
"Daniel, you are getting further and further away from the rule of a butler!" William said in a cold voice.
Daniel knew that he had overdone it and bent his legs to kneel. Seeing that, Alice immediately rushed forward to support him, looking worriedly at Daniel, "Father, don't be like this. Just tell me what's going on."
Daniel's face turned pale, and his hair seemed to have turned gray. "It's me who stole Mr Palace."
It really was him.
Alice frowned. Daniel continued, "I logged into young master's computer, changed the program of Mr Palace, and let it be used by me. Originally, everything was fine, but I never thought that someone would discover the existence of Mr Palace. I know that once you reach the island, you will definitely discover it."
He knew that young master would find out sooner or later.
So it was like this.
Alice looked at Daniel and said, "I thought you intentionally led us to the island, but it turned out it was an accident."
Daniel did not wish for them to find Mr
Alice looked at Daniel. Daniel was dressed in a butler's uniform and wore an old — fashioned pocket watch.
Daniel's face turned pale, obviously not expecting William to know so much.
After a long while, Daniel took off his pocket watch and placed it on Alice's hands. Alice stood up and looked at the pocket watch in her hand.
This pocket watch had been broken, repaired, and she often saw it. She didn't know what was so special about it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
Alice slowly flicked open the lid of the pocket watch.
Her eyes were fixed on the lid.
The inner surface was covered with shallow engravings, so shallow that it was almost impossible to see them. Alice stared at the engravings.
It was a tree.
A tree growing on the water.
Water and trees, not water, but the ocean.
Trees and ocean.
Alice looked up at Daniel and asked, "The words on the stairs of the inn were carved by foster father, right?"
"Is that word still there?" Daniel asked. He then smiled bitterly, "No matter how much time passes, there are some imprints that can never be erased."
Alice stood there and listened quietly, then looked at the pocket watch in her hand. Previously, she felt that this pocket watch had its own unique story.
Borg Island, Inn, Ocean and Tree, Daniel and who?
"Alice, you once asked me where I come from and where I live." Daniel looked at Alice and said, "What I say is completely fake. In
fact, I was born in the Borg Island."
Alice looked at him in shock.
"According to previous accounts, my ancestors were slaves of the Borg Family. When Borg Family moved to this island, I was born here." Daniel slowly said.
Foster father was from the Borg Island?
Alice looked at him in disbelief as a few scenes flashed across her mind. She remembered what the landlady said, "Could it be that the oriental who was strolling by the sea everyday dozens of years ago is foster father?"
Was that man who betrayed and left his lover, his foster father?
Daniel looked at Alice and did not reply. He walked to the window alone and looked at the dark ocean, "Borg Family is a conservative faction, you all cannot imagine how dirty, messy, and disgusting it was to live here."
