Chapter 267 Slap On The Face (Part One)

"What are you doing? Why are you here?"

William stood frozen by the door when he saw Mary. His eyes travelled from Mary to the ebony box on the table that had been opened. Like raging storm, his eyes turned dark and gloomy. His thoughts about making apologies were instantly replaced by anger.

He strode into the study and looked at the letter in Mary's hand. "I said, what are you doing here? Why are you here?" he repeated but with more intensity.

Mary raised her head, revealing two lines of tears on her face. Her hands trembled as she held the photos and letters. With voice quivering, she asked, "What are these?"

"Did you read them?" William frowned.

"Yes, I did." Mary nodded. She felt hurt and betrayed, but a sliver of hope remained in her heart. If only William had explained to her... How could she be angry with a person who was no longer alive?

"Mary Lu!" William roared. "When did you become like this? What did you do? Who gave you the permission to rummage my belongin

ground. He rushed to her while trembling and held her gently.

"William..."

William held her hand and looked at her face. To his surprise, the dying woman was not Sansa. It was Mary.

"Mary... Mary!"

With a scream, William jolted awake. When he opened his eyes, he was still holding the box. Cold sweat broke out on his body.

It turned out to be just a dream. Fortunately, it was just a dream!

Mary? 'Where is Mary?'

William's heart raced. He quickly sat up from the chair and walked out of the study while shouting her name. "Mary! Mary?"

"Sir?" The nanny heard his shouts so she came to meet him by the stairs at the first floor.

"Where is Mary?" asked William.

"She... she ran out and hasn't come back yet!" the nanny answered indignantly.

"Ran out? She hasn't come back yet? Where did she go?" William glared at her. "Is there anyone following her?"

"No, there isn't."

"Damn it!" cursed William. He patted his pockets one by one as he searched for his phone.
