Thud!
Dolores stumbled, her arms flailing wildly, her designer handbag sent flying. With a look of comic dismay, she fell flat on her back!
"Ouch! That hurts!"
She sat there on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain, her lips trembling.
Any regular guy would have helped a beauty like her when they saw her fall, especially if they were the cause of it.
But Thaddeus just ignored her as if nothing happened, and with a swift stride, quickly disappeared from her sight.
At this moment, Gordon also ran over.
He glanced at Dolores, who was in a pitiful state, and then followed Thaddeus.
In just a few seconds, Dolores began to question her usually high self-confidence in her appearance!
"Dolores? What are you doing sitting on the ground? You look ridiculous!"
Bevis had just come out for a smoke and frowned when he saw his daughter's predicament.
"Dad! You see your own daughter fall and you don't even help, but instead make snide comments!"
Dolores, using the coffee table for support, shakily stood up. Her ankle was swollen and her Chanel high heels were broken. She kicked the broken shoe away in anger!
"I bumped into Mr. Thaddeus. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in this embarrassing situation. But I don't know why he was in such a rush." Dolores sat on the sofa, gasping due to the pain.
She had hoped that tonight she could make a memorable impression on Thaddeus, but instead, it turned out to be a disaster. She was so frustrated that she was on the verge of tears!
Bevis noticed the urgency in Thaddeus' departure and his expression turned grim.
In the underground parking lot.
"Mr. Thaddeus! Where are you going? What's going on?"
Gordon, sweating profusely, followed Thaddeus, his voice trembling with anxiety.
"Evadne is in trouble. I need to find her immediately!" Thaddeus' expression was icy, his jawline sharp and handsome.
The veins on the back of his hand, which was pulling open the door of his sports car, were prominent. His dark, stormy eyes revealed his intense emotions.
"I'll come with you! It's better to have backup!"
"No need, you drive too slow! And you can stay behind to handle any aftermath!"
With those words, the engine of the sports car roared to life. Like a released arrow, the car shot out of the parking lot.
Gordon watched as the car sped away, leaving a cloud of dust. He sighed, his heart heavy with worry.
"Mrs. Abernathy must be okay. Mr. Thaddeus, you must bring Mrs. Abernathy back safely!"
The black Lamborghini sped like lightning down Elmsworth Street.
"Evadne, I'm coming. You must be okay. You must be okay!"
Thaddeus' forehead was furrowed, his heart pounding, as he floored the accelerator.
Meanwhile, on the passenger seat of the car, a blurry, obviously sneakily taken picture was displayed on his phone.
In the picture, Evadne was being held by a stranger in a suit. Her hair flowed like silk, her eyes were smoky and seductive, and her lips were enticing.
Who was the man holding her?
Was she drunk?
No, Evadne wouldn't drink with men she wasn't familiar with. The only two times she got drunk were with her brothers.
Was she drugged?
This thought made Thaddeus' heart painfully constrict. His knuckles turned white as he clutched the steering wheel.
At a hotel in the western district.
Thaddeus' suit was soaked with sweat. As soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, his damp phone began to vibrate.
He glanced at the screen. It was an anonymous call.
"Hello." Thaddeus' voice was low, his throat dry.
"Mr. Thaddeus, it's room 2051 on the twentieth floor."
A strange male voice came from the other end of the line, "The key card is in the plant pot by the staircase on the twentieth floor. If you want to save Ms. Evadne, you'd better hurry! If you're a step late, things might happen that you can't even imagine. Don't regret it later!"
Thaddeus was about to move forward when he frowned, "Who are you exactly? Did you send the picture?"
The man confirmed.
"Are you a paparazzo, or are you acting on someone's orders? How do you have the hotel room key?" Thaddeus, quick-witted, asked the key questions.
"Mr. Thaddeus, those are good questions, but unfortunately, I can't answer them. The only thing I can tell you is that I have my reasons for doing this."
Thaddeus felt that something was strange, but given the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to think too much!
He took the elevator to the twentieth floor and indeed found the key card for room 2051 in the plant pot.
As he approached the door, Thaddeus' heart pounded in his chest.
All along the way, he had been struggling with his thoughts, considering countless possibilities.
But no matter what he thought, he couldn't convince himself to stand by and watch Evadne enter a hotel with a strange man!
Beep.
Thaddeus used the key card to open the door.
His throat tightened as he stepped into the room.
The room was dimly lit and silent, the air filled with a faint scent of flowers. But the chaos he had imagined, the scene he couldn't bear to face, didn't exist.
