She didn’t finish the last part of her sentence, but it was already clear to everyone.
Jorge was silent for a moment and then suddenly spoke, -Dylan, take someone to search around immediately, if there is nothing nearby then check further away and make sure you find her.
Dylan nodded with a rare serious look on his face.
-I know, I’ll be right there.
After Dylan left, Raquel didn’t feel comfortable waiting and was about to leave, walking past Jorge, when he spoke and called out to her.
-You just arrived here, you won’t find her on your own.
Hearing these words, Raquel’s steps stopped and she looked at Jorge with cold eyes.
-So what?
-Come home with me first, we’ll hear something soon if Dylan sends someone to look for her.
Raquel rejected Jorge’s suggestion without thinking and said coldly, -No, I can’t sit and wait for news in this situation.
Jorge was speechless, he had not expected his kindness to be rejected.
George had always known how much this daughter of his hated him, but now that she had treated him this way, it was still hard on his heart.
All Rachel could think about was Alice, who had dated her and was still involved because of her, and if anything happened to Alice this time, she couldn’t pay for it with a million deaths.
The thought of her being weak and carrying a baby made Raquel despair and say a harsh word.
-Anyway, if anything happens to Alice and the baby this time, I will make the whole Carlos family pay for it too!
With that, Raquel left.
When Kennedy’s call came in again, Raquel answered this time without hesitation.
-Alice?
The deep, firm, male voice coming from the other end caused Raquel to frown and whisper, -It’s me.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Kennedy’s voice came again.
-Aunt Raquel? What’s Alice’s phone doing here with you?
-This business…
Raquel told Kennedy the long story of what had happened today, making sure the other man had understood before she said, -I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen, my personal fault, so….
Raquel was hesitant to say anything about her relationship with the Carlos family, after all, if she did, she would be exposed, but things had gotten to this point and she couldn’t not say something, so as far as the Carlos family was concerned, she only said that she had some grudges against him in the past, and she didn’t detail what they were.
Rachel thought she would ask him about his relationship with the Carlos family, but Kennedy did not.
-I know, I’ll send for her immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Kennedy called Anthony directly.
At this moment, Anthony was inviting Lolita to a big dinner, as he was fulfilling his promise to invite Lolita to a big dinner during the next month.
As things were being ordered, Anthony’s phone rang.
He looked and saw that it was indeed Kennedy calling and hurried to answer.
-What kind of thing is going on today that you’re…?
However, Anthony’s words were cut off at the other end before he could finish them.
After that, his expression got worse and worse as he listened to the words from the other end, and in the end it even got worse.
Lolita, sitting across from him, watched the whole process of his expression changing, and when he hung up, she couldn’t resist asking him.
-What happened?
At the sound of Lolita’s voice, Anthony came back to himself, thinking about what he had to do, his eyes showing his apologies.
-Sorry, I can’t have dinner with you today, but the food is all served, so look at the menu and order what you want later and put it on my bill.
But, to her surprise, Lolita put down the knife.
-You haven’t told me what’s wrong, is it serious?
At the mention of it, Anthony’s face took on a little more anger: -Yes, it’s a pretty serious situation and I’m going to help now!
Having said this, Anthony got up at once.
Lolita saw this and got up after him.
-I’ll go with you.
It was too embarrassing for her to be eating here alone when everyone else was in such a hurry. Lolita was a food lover, but there were some human accidents she understood.
-Huh? -Anthony was confused for a moment -Are you going with me?
-Yes, more people are more powerful, aren’t we going to help? You don’t have to see me as a girl, I’m very strong and I can help with many things.
-Are you not going to have dinner anymore?
-No, it’s important to help you. And I don’t lack a sense of justice.
After looking at her sincere face for a long time and thinking about his relationship with his sister-in-law, Anthony thought it would be okay to take her with him, and after a moment’s thought Anthony nodded.
-All right then, you can come with me, but stay out of it if there’s any danger.
Lolita thought for a moment and then said, -Don’t worry, I’m good at running away, no one can run faster than me!
-That’s saying you run away a lot.
-That’s the truth,” Lolita muttered.
-What?
Only then Lolita realized she had said something wrong and hurried to explain.
-Oops, it’s a joke. Don’t you have to go? Come on, don’t drag it out.
The two walked out of the restaurant together, and the waiter called out to them as they left the checkout: -Mr. Anthony, this….
-We’re in a hurry, so I’ll take the credit, and all the food will be a gift for your group.
The waiter froze, followed by a smile of joy in his eyes, -Thank you, Mr. Anthony.

“It hurts…”
Alice woke up with a terrible pain in the back of her neck and unconsciously tried to lift her head to stroke the back of her neck, only to find that she couldn’t move her hands.
She stirred and, after realizing that her hands were tied, Alice opened her eyes sharply to find herself in unfamiliar surroundings.
And she was lying on the floor, her hands and feet bound by ropes, unable to move at all.
Memories flooded into her mind and Alice finally remembered what had happened earlier, she and Rachel had gone to eat at the restaurant and then had gone to the bathroom in the middle of the restaurant, on her way out she met the man who had tried to invite her in the morning, she was about to speak when she was knocked out.
Had she kidnapped herself?
Alice was relieved that if it was them, they would be using her to threaten Rachel back to the Carlos family and she would be in no danger.
Why were her hands and feet tied like that?
Alice frowned and tried to struggle, but the harder she struggled, the tighter it got.
As she struggled, a sultry female voice came to her from behind.
-Don’t struggle, the knots I’ve tied are fixed, if your hands work, maybe you could seriously untie them, but you can’t use hands now, you’ll only get tighter if you struggle like that.
This sound …
Alice stopped in her movements and turned around.
