As the male voice came from downstairs, hurried footsteps were heard.
Alice’s heart leapt sharply and she felt something was wrong.
She had just gotten Zoe to calm down, would she freak out now?
She was about to turn her head to talk to Zoe, but Zoe was clearly already irritated. She was ashamed of herself at the thought that she had just let herself be fobbed off by Alice’s words and had burst into tears.
She hadn’t expected Alice to be lying to her!
Besides, those men were here, so they would have caught her in the act!
No, she couldn’t be caught by them!
That was all Zoe could think of right away.
“Push her!” a voice popped into her mind.
If she pushed her, then Alice’s men would be in disarray and she could take the opportunity to leave, she would escape, escape back to the Carlos family!
With that thought, Zoe didn’t hesitate for a second, reaching over and pushing Alice’s back before turning and running.
Alice didn’t have a chance to speak even if she wanted to, the position she was in there was nothing around her to hold on to. At the point of the fall, she closed her eyes and reached out to protect her lower belly.
No…
She had fought so hard for her chance to live, and if she really did destroy herself like this, what would she do to atone for her sins afterwards?
Just when Alice thought she was going to fall, a pair of large hands caught her just in time, a familiar scent bursting in on her breath. Alice’s eyes snapped open, colliding with a pair of deep-set eyes.
The man’s cold eyes were no longer calm, but filled with anxiety, and though his hands were strong, they trembled gently.
Alice’s eyelashes fluttered gently, and she tried to say something by clutching her white shirt in excitement, but not a word came out. Not only that, but she felt a giddy sensation in front of her eyes, and getting stronger and stronger.
The next moment, he collapsed directly into Kennedy’s arms.
From the moment they met, without even a chance to say a word, Alice collapsed into his arms.
Kennedy frowned and lifted her up at once in an embrace.
-Go after her, people are running in that direction!
Anthony directed some people directly toward the stairs, and Lolita, who was running after him, stopped, gasped, and looked at Alice.
-Alice? Boss, is she all right?
Kennedy looked at the girl, he didn’t remember her face, but seeing that she was full of anxiety, she must be Alice’s friend, he answered her, -I’ll take her to the hospital.
With that, Kennedy lifted Alice up and headed straight for the stairs.
Lolita nodded her head and unconsciously tried to turn and follow her.
Lolita’s footsteps stopped abruptly as she took two steps and saw the tall, slender, but cold-looking figure.
“Forget it.”
She was worried about Alice, but he was the head of the company and she didn’t know him very well. She hadn’t even thought of talking to the man, after all she was only an employee of the company.
It would still be too strange to follow him now.
She had followed Anthony here, so it was better to go after someone with Anthony.
As for Alice, seeing that Kennedy was so worried about her, Lolita was sure this girl would be safe and sound.
Her mind made up, Lolita turned silently and ran in Anthony’s direction with a single stride.
Zoe pushed Alice and turned and ran.
She regretted it right after she pushed her.
Why was she so impulsive, when this girl had told herself that she would speak up for herself and not lie to him.
If she had done nothing now, she could have defended herself for a few moments.
And now?
She pushed Alice down.
Just now, that voice was particularly familiar to Zoe, it was Anthony’s, that guy also used to be particularly fond of hers.
“He’s here, and if it’s him, Kennedy must be here too.”
Kennedy would hate herself if she knew she had pushed Alice down.
She had done another wrong, but now that she had taken that step, she could no longer turn back. Zoe didn’t dare listen or see what was wrong with Alice, the one she had pushed, she just kept running forward.
She just had to get out of here, get back to the Espinar family and seek refuge with her grandfather and she should be fine.
Even if her grandfather was angry with her, he sure as hell wouldn’t stand idly by if something really happened to her.
After all, she was his own granddaughter!
With this in mind, Zoe ran even faster, but there was no place to run.
Zoe looked back and saw someone coming up behind her and if she turned around she would surely be caught.
Just then, a tenant came out of the room and Zoe, seeing this, rushed in and then pulled the man out.
-Hey, hey, what are you doing, let go of me!
Bang!
Zoe walked straight into the house and then slammed the door from the inside.
The tenant who was taken out stood there with a dumbfounded look on her face, having no idea what was going on, until the men Anthony had directed rushed around the room she was in, and the tenant showed an expression of horror.
-What do you want…?
She stammered the question.
Anthony looked at her coldly, “Did that woman come into your room earlier?
The tenant nodded, -Yes, she came out suddenly, took my room key and unlocked it.
Anthony frowned with a slightly unhappy expression, and the landlord backed up a few steps in fright at the sight of the number of people he had brought with him.
-It’s, it’s none of my business, she came running in on her own.
-Understood, we have things to attend to here, so go away.
The tenant hesitated, “My room key…
Anthony took out some money and handed it to her, -Go first, this room will still be yours when I’m done with it, understood?
This was a small hostel and it was very cheap to stay for one night. When the tenant saw that he was offering her so much money, she was immediately speechless and rushed to take it, and then ran to the side.
Lolita also arrived at that moment, standing in front of Anthony.
-Where are the people?
Hearing her words, Anthony looked at her for a moment and then looked into the room, -Hidden.
Lolita looked at the door and then at the people gathered around the door and pursed her lips, somewhat understanding what was happening.
She pulled out her phone and started to call, but Anthony asked her, -What are you doing?
-I’m calling the police, or the hotel won’t cooperate with us to open the door.
Hearing her about to call the police, Anthony unconsciously reached out his hand to stop her movement and Lolita looked at him confused, -What’s wrong?
