Chapter 180 His Calamity
“Ah, someone fainted!”
The crowd shouted in panic.
Keith had gotten in the car and did not want to care about a woman that had nothing to do with him.
But in the end, noticing more and more people surrounding Alice, including some men with ill intentions,
Keith could not help but frown and quickly walk over
“All of you, get out of the way!”
Keith pushed aside the dense crowd and spoke in a dignified voice
When the crowd realized he was a rich young man, they obediently made way for him.
However, some arrogant punks did not take Keith seriously, trying to carry an unconscious Alice
away.
“Let go of her!”
Keith put his hands in his pockets and ordered a scar–faced man who touched Alice.
“Who the hell are you? Mind your own business. I saw this girl first. Don’t snatch her from me!”
After the scar–faced man finished speaking, he grabbed Alice’s arm and openly carried her on his
back, preparing to leave.
The onlookers were not surprised. Not only did they not stop him, but they were envious.
It was a feature of Sutor Wharf, commonly known as “picking up corpses“.
Any woman who fell unconscious on the street, whether she was drunk, dizzy from hunger, or sick,
became a public resource. Whoever picked her up first would have her, and the law could not.
control it.
A stunning beauty like Alice was a rare treasure How could someone who picked her up let go so easily?
“I told you. Let go of her!”
Keith blocked the scar faced man’s way with his tall body. Keith’s frivolous expression was now ruthless,
making people shudder.
Of course, the scar faced man was famous in this area. Ordinary people did not dare to provoke him, so
naturally, he would not buckle to Keith.
“Why do I need to listen to you?”

After Keith finished speaking word by word, he took out the indenture that he had torn apart and
sneered, “This is the indenture I just got from Torr. If you insist on taking her away, I can only ask
Torr for her
“Torr?”
The scar faced man swallowed his saliva, and his eyes turned scared.
Torr was the king in this area, and no one dared to offend him.
“I’ll give you three seconds. Decide whether you will let her go….

Keith said coldly, “Three
“Here you are! Here you
are!”
The scar–faced man was instantly terrified. He stuffed Alice into Keith’s arms and stubbornly argued,
“The girl is so skinny. I am not interested. Whoever wants her can play with her I don’t
care!”
Keith carefully held Alice in his arms like a baby, afraid of dropping or hurting her
She was indeed skinny. Alice was of medium height and as light as a feather She might be
malnourished.
Keith had thought Shirley was the thinnest woman he had ever carried, but he was surprised Alice
was thinner
Keith lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. She had a face that resembled Shirley’s,
but her skin was fairer than Shirley’s, and her eyes were gentler
Her two thin eyebrows were knitted together She looked pained and melancholic. He didn’t know
what she had experienced and felt sorry for her
Keith reached out his hand, wanting to smooth Alice’s eyebrows.
At this time, Alice slightly opened her eyes, weakly but gently smiling at him.
“Eh you woke up. I saw a mosquito on your face, so 1.
Keith guiltily explained
He was a playboy but he had rarely been so flustered. It was really embarrassing
“I heard everything
Alice lay in Kently a arms and said lightly
“Eh, what did you hear?”
“You said I was yours. It means you accept me, right?”
“Don’t misunderstand. It happened so suddenly just now. I had no choice but to…”
“Thank you!”
Although Alice was smiling, her eyes were red. She said meaningfully, “With your words, I can die
with no regrets. I won’t be alone on the road to the underworld.”
“What are you talking about? Why do you keep mentioning death?”
Keith’s heart lurched. He felt Alice was strange as if she was telling her last words.
“Can I ask you to do me a small favor?”
Alice grabbed Keith’s arm, her eyes full of sorrow.
As he looked at the pitiful woman, Keith’s attitude softened.
“After I died, put my ashes in a small box and then bury them in an ancient well in the village. There is no
need for a funeral. Just send someone to pay my respects….
When Alice said that, her breathing was weak.
Keith felt something was wrong. He asked with a serious expression, “What’s wrong with you? Are you
hiding something from me?”
“I’m fine L… Cough! Cough!”
When Alice said that, she spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.
Keith panicked. He quickly carried her into the car and said, “Hang in there, I’ll send you to the hospital
right away. Hang in there!”
The car sped through the crowd.
Perhaps from this moment on, their fates were bound together.
Just as the old man had said, Alice was Keith’s destiny and calamity!
It was late at night when Braden returned to the Stewart’s house at Sutor Wharf.
There was still no news of Shirley.
Shirley, as if she knew magic, vanished off the face of the earth!
Karen comforted Braden, “Braden, don’t worry too much. I’ll send more people to search for her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe will search other countries… I’ve worked with the information department of other countries to lock
onto Ms. Wilson’s personal information. I believe it’s only a matter of time before we find
her!”
However, Braden was no longer enthusiastic He said lightly, “There’s no need to find her. Just let
her be!”
“Braden, what do you mean by that? Are you going to give up just like that?”
“There are too many gaps between her and me that we can’t cross. Even if I find her, we’ll hurt each
other It’s better to forget each other and never meet again!”
“What you said makes sense, but… are you sure you can really let go?”
“So what if I can? And what if I can’t? Maybe we are not right for each other in the first place It’s
just that I am not used to the sudden divorce, so I don’t want to let her go. Time will cure
everything.”
Braden didn’t suddenly think things through. It was all thanks to the old man’s words.
The old man said he and Shirley’s relationship wasn’t right in the past four years. Whether they could
really be together depended on their feelings for each other.
Time was a good thing. It could throw a person in love and make him sober
It could also make those who were deeply in love more affectionate and understand their own
feelings.
Braden felt he and Shirley both needed time to calm down and understand their hearts…
After Braden finished speaking, he went upstairs and returned to the bedroom.
He spread out the silk he had bought from the old man on the table. Then he spread out a baby blanket
and put the two together
Sure enough, the patterns converge, looking like a map.
Braden salvaged the baby blanket from the Wilson’s house in the fire. However, he did not tell
Shirley about it.
When he saw the silk in the antique market, he felt its patterns were related to Shirley’s baby
blanket.
Braden studied it carefully and suddenly discovered something. “This map….……..
