Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 

Seeing that Lea had fallen into a deep silence, Shannon thought that Lea was thinking of working and studying simultaneously. 

She had also considered the difference in status between the Berry and the Andrews families. However, she was young and did not have much life experience. She felt that true love would be able to overcome anything. 

Shannon sat beside Lea and explained seriously, “Lea, there are too few people in this world who are sincere to others. If you meet someone like that don’t miss the opportunity. Mr. Alfred is such a person.” 

A third party always saw things more clearly. During this period, Shannon had seen how attentive Alfred was toward Lea and could feel how deeply he loved her. 

Furthermore, when Alfred looked at Lea, one could tell just how deep his love for her went. 

Shannon had never been loved since she was young 

As such, she valued this kind of true love very much. 

Shannon knew that Lea was the same. Since she had been young, all her relatives had been out to harm her and treated her very badly. 

Lea gave her a warm smile and did not answer. 

Instead, she asked, “Where’s Yannis?” 

“Craig said that there aren’t enough rooms, so he asked Yannis to come back later.” 

Lea paused before she frowned. 

‘Not enough rooms?‘ Lea wondered. 

Lea felt that there were not many guests there. Mainly because the hotel had high standards, and charged high fees, so they usually weren’t at full occupancy. 

However, now that they had Matilda to make a move, especially so in the daytime. 

to make a move, especialled here, the hotel was very safe. It would not be easy 1 

She wiped the coffee stain from the corner of her mouth and crossed her legs on the couch. Then she grabbed her laptop, placed it in her lap, and typed in the code to hack into the surveillance 

system. 

When it was dark, Yannis was brought to the hotel and was given a room at the end of the corridor on their floor.

Lea had wanted him to stay in one of the rooms either opposite or beside hers. 

However, this was fine as well. 

They didn’t leave the hotel. On one hand, it was for safety. 

On the other hand, they had a lot to do as well.

The meals were all delivered from the hotel. They were all top–notch dishes. Even Lea, who had experienced a more luxurious lifestyle, had not seen some of these dishes before. 

However, they were all dishes Lea loved. 

It was probably a coincidence, so she didn’t think too much about it. It had not crossed Lea’s mind that Alfred had been the one who had asked the chef from the hotel to make them personally. 

Since they had an interview the next morning, they had gone to bed at 11. 

The two of them were sleeping soundly when the fire alarm suddenly sounded. The alarm seemed to pierce through their eardrums and the floors of the building. 

Lea had been sleeping soundly, but her eyes snapped open. She rolled out of bed quickly, taking the bag she had prepared beforehand by her bed, and headed outside. 

Clearly, Lea was much faster now than before. 

Before she left, she grabbed the fruit knife from the platter behind the door and hid it behind her. 

When they opened the door, thick smoke assailed their noses, choking the two of them until they almost passed out. 

The corridor was already filled with people. Everyone was running around and cursing. 

“What happened? Why is there a fire?” 

“Where did the fire come from? What’s the situation?” 

“What kind of lousy hotel is this? I’m paying 6 thousand dollars a night and there’s a fire in the middle of the night.” 

“Where’s the hotel’s emergency team?” 

“Get me out of here!” 

“Elevator, take the elevator!” 

“Hurry and go downstairs!”

“Hey, you’re stepping on my slippers.” 

“Lady, you’re exposed!” 

“Hey! Pervert, I’ll dig out your eyes if you look at me again!” 

“Darling, where are you…” 

The sounds of a child crying filled the air as well.

There were even people who had run out even before they could put on some proper 

clothes. 

Lea and Shannon were the calmest. They covered their mouths with wet towels and looked at each other. With a tacit understanding, they distanced themselves from the crowd and headed for the 

stairs. 

With such a huge fire, they had to quickly leave. The stairs would be the safest. 

There were the most patrons on this floor. The fire was evolved at a few of the exits and people moved around with difficulty. A few timid customers reached the stairs but did not dare to move after seeing the fire. They stood rooted to the spot, in a panic. 

Lea turned around and observed her surroundings. The fire had destroyed the circuits. On the ceiling of the corridor, there was another shower of sparks. The lights flashed before they went out.. plunging them into darkness. 

Some customers held emergency flashlights and their cell phones to illuminate their surroundings. Even so, it was hard to see. 

The fire had spread to a few rooms as well. It was dangerous to stay here. 

Lea pushed the person in front of her hard towards the exit. 

Whatever the reason, she didn’t want to die here. Lea still had a lot to do. She couldn’t die. 

Lea pushed the person in front of her, causing a chain reaction such that the people who had stopped at the exit were also pushed into the stairwell. 

Everyone reacted and started pushing toward the stairwell. 

Soon, the hotel’s staff arrived to evacuate the crowd and put out the fire. 

The stairway became the main exit, and with guidance, the evacuation was proceeding faster. 

Lea had already squeezed through the crowd to a spot not far from the staircase. She coughed, choking quite badly on the smoke. She glanced at the exit and quickened her pace.
