Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 4

Alice had no idea how her pursuer was able to find her despite the crowd in the hall. Is it a coincidence? Or did he recognize me? Without saying a single word, the man stared at her quietly, yet his silence was enough to make her heart race like a jackhammer. Thus, Alice started to grow fidgety, knowing well that she mustn’t be captured by the man before her. After all, the fact that she handcuffed Ethan to the bed alone was all the reason he needed to make her pay. Therefore, she had a feeling that she was about to be chopped into pieces and crushed when she met the man’s eyes.

Oh gosh! I must get out of here if I want to stay alive. So, I must strike first before he can make another move. Fortunately, I’m prepared for this moment to come. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Ah! He is a murderer! Look at the blood! Look at the blood!” Alice grabbed the packet of fake blood, which she hid in her sleeves when she was changing earlier and squeezed it.

While Alice’s screech stunned the crowd and drowned out the music, no one noticed that she secretly tossed what seemed like a tiny ball to the space beside the feet of the man standing next to her. As soon as the ball burst, sticky fluid came out of it and flowed toward her pursuer’s foot. I got that from the dressing room, and I must say that the props are pretty diverse.

It all happened so fast that Ethan could not react in time, as if the moment he hugged her in his arms to the moment she screamed happened in less than a second. At the same time, Ethan was stunned by Alice’s scream of terror and the ‘blood’ despite his usual calm self.

Nevertheless, when Ethan was still caught in his trance, Alice suddenly squirmed and shook off his grip. “Let’s go!” Alice grabbed Bruce’s hand and ran like crazy as soon as she shook off Ethan’s grasp. After all, every second she had was crucial to her survival, as she believed her fate would be sealed if Ethan caught her.

Meanwhile, Ethan smiled glacially because his suspicion had just been confirmed. I wasn’t sure I got you, Alice, but thanks to your dramatic response, I know I was right. Although Ethan was convinced

that the lady was Alice, she was still wearing a white gown with headwear that covered her slim figure and head. With a smile on his face, Ethan wasn’t panicky at all, confident that he would eventually get her since they were both on his turf. You may be having fun at the moment, but now that I’ve identified you, you’re not going to get away from me. Nevertheless, just when Ethan was about to take a step forward, his face changed because he just realized his shoe sole was adhered to the ground and was unable to move his foot.

At that moment, there was no one who dared to stop Alice due to her bloodied appearance. When she exited the hall, she quickly seized a lady’s arm and made her run along with her. Stunned by Alice’s sudden approach, the lady didn’t resist as she let Alice take her wherever she wanted to take her. Soon, she saw the elevator stopping on the third floor, knowing Ethan must have taken that to this floor to find her. Well, that’s even better. I don’t have to waste more time looking for another way out of here. She then entered the elevator, but just as the door closed, she saw the man coming out of the elevator. That’s surprising. I can’t believe he is able to get out of that ‘sticky’ situation so fast, but he is still too late. “Bye.” Alice politely waved at Ethan just when the door closed.

However, although both of them could not see each other’s faces since they were both wearing masks, Ethan was not happy with Alice’s cocky attitude when she waved her hand at him. Nevertheless, the man only responded with a faint smile that could send chills down the spine of anyone who looked at it in response to the lady’s insolence. Good! Very well! Does she really think she can get out of here? My men have secured the perimeter around this hotel. She is never going to get away from me! How naïve!

On the other hand, Billy snapped out of his trance and gazed at Alice in the elevator, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. “Miss Woland, would you please do me a favor?” Alice ignored Billy and turned her attention to the lady who was with her, speaking in a polite manner.

“Who are you? Why should I help you?” Leah looked askance at Alice impatiently. Alice then leaned closer and whispered to Leah’s ear, whereupon the latter’s face changed. As a look of terror flashed

across her eyes, she gritted her teeth and asked, “What would you like me to do?”

“Put this on. Once the elevator stops, I need you to get out of here and pretend as if you’re hurt.” Alice then took off her bloodied gown and gave it to her. Deep down, she knew there would be someone outside the elevator waiting for her, believing it would stop when it reached the first floor. Therefore, she had to be prepared for what was going to happen because that moment would decide whether she could get out of the place successfully.

Despite Leah’s reluctance, she was forced to do as Alice told her to. Meanwhile, Billy blinked while looking at Alice, praising her deep down for her shrewdness and resourcefulness. What a meticulous plan she has there! In fact, she even knows the Yeager Family’s secret. Who is this woman, actually? Soon, the elevator stopped on the first floor shortly before the door opened. When Liam saw someone else instead of Ethan in the elevator, his face changed. “Get them.”

The next second, the guards immediately came closer just when the bloodied Leah stepped out of the elevator and collapsed on Liam. “Are you alright, Miss?” Everyone else was stunned by what they saw. However, Leah repeatedly pushed the button, closing the elevator door before they could even react. Then, she proceeded to make it to the basement with the duo.

On the other hand, Brandon was shocked when he realized he just fell for Alice’s trick, thinking it was too late to stop her from escaping. Thus, he immediately sent his men after them, although they were slowed down a little by their panicky feelings.

In the meantime, Billy squinted in the elevator and suddenly took off Alice’s mask. “Alice?!” At that moment, he thought he saw things, unable to believe his eyes. Oh god, I can’t believe it’s Alice. I must get my eyes checked. Alice used to be dumb and silly. Everybody laughs at her for being useless, so how is this possible?

Despite his struggle to believe what he saw, he couldn’t deny the fact that Alice was indeed standing before him. In that instant, he immediately deduced that Alice was, in fact, a smart lady who had been pretending to be a fool all the time, but that begged the question—why would she play dumb?

Nevertheless, Alice didn’t say anything, only responding with a cold glimpse before she put on her mask again. When Billy noticed how calm her reaction was, he couldn’t describe how taken aback he was. What kind of lady is she? At that moment, he was reminded of the time his cousin insulted Alice for being a fool not long before he canceled their engagement. In hindsight, Billy couldn’t help but find it ridiculous and laughable.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Alice quickly stepped out of it and dashed forward. “My car is just up ahead. It’s not far from here.” Billy knew it wasn’t the time for questions, although he had a lot to ask Alice. Since his car was near the elevator, it’d probably take only a few seconds for them to reach it. However, their pursuers were hot on their heels as Alice reckoned those few seconds could prove dangerous to her.

Meanwhile, since Alice used Ethan’s exclusive elevator, he had no choice but to wait for it to arrive shortly before it reached the third floor. Then, after getting into the elevator, he was somehow intercepted on the first floor. When Brandon saw him inside, he sighed and took a deep breath. “Mr. Knight.”
