Anthony pursed his lips and turned away pouting.
-Don’t call the police.
If he had to call the police, he could have done it on the way.
He had only a little selfishness left in him.
If this matter was called to the police, it could end up Zoe, and according to the Espinar family influence, once this matter involved the police, then the incident would be complicated and then infinitely magnified by others.
Because it was not a simple matter.
It was between the Carlos family with the Espinar family.
He wondered how he could still have some of that selfishness, Anthony thought it was the last time.
After this time, he would absolutely isolate himself from all thought.
-Why can’t I call the police? -Lolita still looked puzzled, “How are we going to get in?
-Go to the side, I’ll take care of this.
-No,” Lolita had no idea what she was thinking and shook her head. You bought me food, I have nothing to offer in return, you won’t let me call the police, so I’m opening the door.
Anthony didn’t understand the girl’s words.
Lolita put her phone away, then opened her purse and pulled out a steel wire from a small box before heading to the door of the room and starting to violate the lock.
Anthony and the crowd were speechless.
With a click, the wire snapped and Lolita laughed awkwardly, -This is not it.
Then she threw away the one in her hand and pulled another one out of the little box.
Watching Lolita’s strange movements in front of him, Anthony thought that he might as well have asked her to call the police a moment ago, instead of her doing all these strange actions.
Zoe, who had been hiding inside, shuddered in fear as she made her way to the window, only to find that she had nowhere to go. She retreated to the bathroom, only to discover that the person who had just left had used the bathroom without cleaning, and a foul odor permeated the bathroom.
Zoe nearly vomited and rushed to get out.
There was nowhere to hide in the small room, and the men Anthony had brought with him were already outside the door, and she even heard him talking to other men.
Knowing that it was certainly useless to hide here.
Zoe, calling for help, had to pull out her cell phone and call Reuben.
The phone rang for a long time before Ruben’s side answered her call.
Ruben was about to go to a meeting when he saw her call and took it with a disgruntled expression.
-What is it?
-Brother…
Who knew that before his words fully fell, Zoe’s pent up screams would come from the other side.
Hearing the scream, Reuben frowned.
-What’s wrong?
-Brother, save me, save me, please save me,” Zoe cried as she begged him for help.
Ruben’s footsteps stopped and the secretary following him looked at him in disbelief, Ruben said coldly, -You go first, you don’t have to wait for me.
The secretary could only nod and leave first.
When the people left, Ruben went to the other side and resumed the conversation.
-What’s wrong? Didn’t I tell you to stay well at the hotel? Aren’t you there?
Zoe couldn’t help sobbing and Ruben, tired of hearing her, scolded her, -Keep crying and I will hang up the phone.
Zoe’s breath caught in her throat and she quickly stopped herself from crying.
-No, don’t hang up the phone!
-Then get it straight, why are you crying?
Zoe’s tears began to flow again, she really regretted and couldn’t say what she had done, but now there was nothing she could do but confess to Ruben what she had done and so she cried again, -Brother, I really know I was wrong, I really was wrong this time, please help me, I’ll never dare to do it again!
At his words, Reuben’s breath caught in his chest and he could barely get it down.
It took him a long time to swallow his saliva, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word, and finally he became exasperated and laughed: -Zoe, I’m really too disappointed in you.
-Ruben…
Ruben closed his eyes helplessly, remembering the look on Alice’s face, the woman … If something had really happened to her sister …
Zoe was so bold that he should have ignored her and let an outsider teach her a lesson, but in the end, he couldn’t stand her going on like that.
-Where are you?” reuben’s voice rang with a deep hint of weariness.
Once Zoe had given an address, Ruben merely hung up the phone and turned expressionlessly in the direction of the elevator.
Only after reaching the parking lot did Ruben call his secretary.
-Cancel the meeting.
The secretary was taken aback, but dared not ask anything more than to do as he was told.
***
On the other hand, Lolita had already broken two wires.
-Trust me, this was an accident too! -Lolita’s ears were a bit flushed as she said this, she was so embarrassed.
I thought I had it mastered, but I didn’t expect her to break the wire and still not get the door open.
-That’s weird -Lolita bit her lower lip and couldn’t help but mutter- The locks of these hostels are supposed to be the best to violate, how come I can’t open them, is it because I haven’t practiced anymore?
Anthony, who was behind her, instantly clouded over at this comment and couldn’t help but ask, -Have you been out of practice too long?
Lolita nodded, but soon felt something was wrong. She turned her head and realized that Anthony and the people around her were looking at her strangely, and she reacted.
Things like picking locks were only done by burglars.
And she finished saying…
At the thought of this, Lolita blushed and fumbled to defend herself.
-That what, I’m not a thief, and I don’t specialize in this kind of thing, I was just curious before and thought it was fun so I played with my friends and them for a while, but I promise, I never did hurtful things.
Anthony nodded, -I believe you.
-Really?
-Hmm -Anthony nodded heavily with a sad, heavy face. With your skills, you couldn’t do it even if you wanted to.
-Shut up, I suddenly don’t want to hear you talk.
-There’s really no way around it….
-I’m sure I can, let me try again.
Lolita turned around to continue and Anthony got a little tired of waiting and was about to go tell her not to continue when he heard a click and then the door opened.
Everyone who saw this was shocked.
Anthony’s mind lingered at that moment, “Holy shit, is it really open?”
Lolita pushed the door with a proud look, and then kicked it open, -Get out of there! You are surrounded by us, you can’t escape.
The look on her face brought Anthony back to his senses and he went to pull her out.
-You come out.
Then Anthony came in himself and caught a glimpse of Zoe, who cowered in a corner, hugging her knees, looking up at the sound of the voices, her hair tangled on her body and her eyes covered with tears.
