Chapter 1433: Unfortunately, Everyone Got It Wrong
Regarding Sophia Wood’s exclamation, not only Alice Turner felt puzzled, even Anthony sitting beside her also found it baffling, he wanted to know the reason behind it.
Seeing both Alice Turner and Anthony looking at her with confused expressions, Sophia Wood let out a barely audible sigh, "After you disappeared five years ago, we all thought you went to Country M. For the past few years, we’ve been focusing our search efforts in Country M, but unfortunately, we’ve never found you."
She looked at her daughter, pursed her lips, trying to tell her how much Thomas Fisher had done to find her over these years, but she was unsure of the relationship between Anthony and Alice Turner, so she swallowed the words she was about to say.
"Why did you all think I went to Country M? Was it just because I told Lily I was going to study in Country M? So you all believed I really went there?" Alice Turner looked at Sophia Wood, and from the expression changes on Sophia Wood’s face, she already got the answer to her question.
Oh my God!
She had casually made up a lie at the time, she never dreamed that everyone took it as truth, and this ’everyone’ certainly included that clingy person.
Sophia Wood nodded: "Unfortunately, everyone got it wrong, why did you go to Derry Kingdom?"
As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Anthony sitting beside her.
Sophia Wood suspected that Alice Turner’s trip to Derry Kingdom was related to Anthony; she only thought this in her heart and couldn’t directly ask him.
"I went to Derry Kingdom purely by accident."
Sophia Wood’s guess was correct, Alice Turner’s journey to Derry Kingdom was indeed related to Anthony, but the relationship was entirely unlike what Sophia imagined.
Five years ago, she had planned to become a teacher in a remote village, but unexpectedly, she encountered an injured Anthony on the street; Anthony was badly hurt at the time, and without much thought, she decided to call an ambulance to take him to the hospital, yet she was sternly stopped by him.
He even threatened her, saying that if she sent him to the hospital or called the police, he would kill her.
Alice Turner was furious and wanted to leave immediately, but seeing his fragile state, she couldn’t bring herself to walk away.
She slapped him hard to knock him out, but she didn’t send him to a big hospital, not because she feared his threats, but because she speculated he had hidden motives for acting this way.
She took the injured Anthony to a private clinic, where she learned his injuries were knife wounds and discovered his secrets.
Anthony was quite fortunate, not only meeting the righteous and kind-hearted Alice Turner but also encountering a responsible and highly skilled doctor.
Thus, she and he became acquainted.
Later, his father sent people in a helicopter to pick him up, it was then she found out he was the heir of a multinational company.
Feeling lost at the time, she went to Derry Kingdom with him out of gratitude.
Not knowing about these circumstances, Sophia Wood, upon hearing Alice Turner mention it was an accident, felt even more perplexed: "Accident? What does that mean?"
She increasingly felt that this matter was related to the brat next to her. What’s this brat’s background? Could her daughter have fallen for this brat? What about Thomas Fisher?
"I accidentally met him five years ago, he said he wanted to take me to his place for a visit, so I went with him." Alice Turner spoke casually, but at the time, the situation was far from relaxed; even now when she thinks about it, chills run down her spine.
