A familiar face caught her attention.
Fair skin and a pretty, delicate face, except now she looked much more wretched than when they first met, with dark circles under her eyes and even her hair disheveled.
Zoe.
How could it be her?
As soon as she saw her, Alice was shocked and her eyes filled with disbelief. shouldn’t it be George’s people? But why did she see Zoe now?
As Alice watched her, Zoe’s mouth turned into a wry smile as she watched her silently.
-Is it strange that it’s me?
Alice pursed her lips and didn’t answer; the back of her neck ached and so did her bound hands and feet. However, the only good thing was that nothing was moving in her baby.
There was no telling if Zoe, who was in front of her, would do anything crazy at some point.
-I’m the one who asked her to kidnap you to come here, this is my territory, with the power of the Espinar family it’s easy for me to kidnap you.
Alice’s eyes quickly looked around, quickly getting acquainted with her surroundings.
The furnishings of the surroundings were similar to a hotel, in a correct word more, it was a hostel, and Alice had already stayed in such a hostel when she was still a secretary.
It was very cheap and basically only had a bed and a table and a bathroom.
Zoe had brought her here, and when she thought about her earlier return to the Carlos family, Alice quickly thought of something.
-And then what?
At her words, Zoe narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at her.
-Aren’t you afraid?
Alice was speechless.
-Waking up here alone, with your hands and feet tied, aren’t you scared? Shouldn’t you panic and scream? Why don’t you panic? Why don’t you scream? Did you call Kennedy to come save you?
-Is that why you tied me up here? -Alice wrinkled her forehead.
-Of course not,” Zoe sneered.
He stood up, took a step toward her and abruptly reached out and grabbed Alice’s chin. The movement made Alice cringe in pain, and she frowned unconsciously without a sound.
Seeing this, Zoe’s pinch on her chin immediately increased in strength, her nails dug into her flesh, and a few more marks were instantly made on her pale chin.
As if this gave her pleasure, Zoe’s eyes lit up with delight and she asked him proudly, -It hurts, doesn’t it? Beg me.
Alice was speechless again.
It did hurt, but Alice there was no way to ask someone like that.
-Let me do it like this, who do you think you are? -Alice struggled to escape her grip and fell to the side, Zoe saw it and blushed as she tried to reach over and grab her again, only for Alice to say directly, -Is this thing you’re doing to me going to make Kennedy change her mind about you?
The words went through Zoe’s mind and her movements stopped, her gaze filled with intense hatred.
-You’re right, it’s true that my doing this isn’t going to change Kennedy’s opinion of me, and he still won’t like me.
At that moment, Zoe’s mood suddenly became sad again with a lowered gaze, and she muttered, -Why? I’ve worked so hard to take care of him, I like him so much, why can’t he look at me one more time, even if it’s just one more time?
Slowly, tears slipped from her eyes and fell to the cold floor.
Alice watched the woman in front of her drop to the ground and then looked up at her with tears streaming down her face.
-Why is he still attracted to you when he has lost his memory, when he no longer remembers you? What is the magic you have?
What magic did he have?
-There’s no magic in people, it’s just that once you remember something, no one ever forgets it again, even if one day you can’t remember it, but these are already etched in the trajectory of your life, it’s not like losing your memory makes it disappear-
Alice’s tone was subdued, as if she was exposing something that had nothing to do with her.
At first she didn’t know why Kennedy was attracted to her, and it wasn’t until he spent time with her these days that he came to a vague understanding of this reasoning.
Although he seemed to have lost his memory, his earlier experiences had not simply disappeared, and his brain and body reacted in some way, not very strongly but present when there were familiar people near him.
Zoe listened dumbfounded as the tears continued to fall.
Alice raised her eyes and her gaze fell on his face.
-I know that asking for something and not getting it is probably the hardest thing in this world, even life, death and sickness aren’t as terrible as that, but there are some things you can’t get even if you force them. And from the beginning, you’re doing it wrong.
-What have I done wrong?
-You went against your principles and your morals. If you had stayed away from him and restrained the selfish thoughts in your own heart once you knew who he was in the beginning, things would not have happened to the extent they have today. You wouldn’t have had to drug him and you wouldn’t have been kicked out of the Espinar family.
Hearing those last words, a flash of panic flashed through Zoe’s eyes, which were still breaking down in tears.
-No, you’re not right, I haven’t been kicked out of the Espinar family, my grandfather was only angry for a moment, when he’s calmed down, I’ll still be the miss of the family!
-Is that so? -Alice pursed her lips and smiled faintly, “What if he finds out that you did the kidnapping thing today?
Zoe froze.
Alice’s gaze was fixed on her.
-Do you think he’ll accept it, or will he be more disappointed in you?
After a few moments, Zoe panicked and explained, -No, my grandfather won’t be disappointed in me, I’m his granddaughter anyway and it wasn’t me who kidnapped you today. It was the men from the Carlos family, I just picked up the pieces, and as long as I make it clear to him, this has nothing to do with me.
Alice looked like she was not in a good mood.
Otherwise, given the Espinar family upbringing, how could Zoe be so stupid? I really didn’t know why someone with such a good family upbringing could be so mentally fragile and overwhelmed.
One small setback caused her to develop this mentality and become mentally abnormal.
-How could you have nothing to do with this? As long as you were involved, whether you were the one in charge or the one doing the commanding, you were involved.
If Zoe was the interceptor, then Alice could only save herself.
She couldn’t afford to play games with herself now and she didn’t dare provoke Zoe. Alice thought about it and spoke earnestly, -I’ll make a deal with you. You untie me, we’ll leave this inn together and I’ll pretend today’s incident never happened.
