Elsa turned to Evelyn and Ezra with a confused look on her face. "Am I right?"
Ezra narrowed his eyes at her, and then turned to Anna and Ann. "Yes," he answered, nodding. He had never met Quintin before. Shaun had once met him by accident. Judging from what had happened earlier, he roughly deducted that the man must be Quiet Misery.
Anna and Ann exchanged worried glances, and Anna was overcome by guilt and sadness. Charlie had warned Anna that Quiet Misery was not a simple person. However, even though she had been worried, she had not tried her best to prevent Olivia from falling into this relationship. If anything happened to Olivia, Anna could never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Elsa knitted her eyebrows and her lips thinned into a tight line. She was worried about Olivia, but she was also concerned about Charlie. She kept looking back at the elevator. No one was coming.
Elsa was so restless that Evelyn was dizzy from her movements. She turned to Elsa and comforted her, "Elsa, rest easy. Charlie is fine. And as long as he is fine, you don't have to worry about Olivia. Can you stop fidgeting now? You are making me nervous for no reason as well."
Elsa made an apologetic face, but she couldn't calm down. All of a sudden, it felt like she and Charlie had drifted far apart. He didn't have his cell phone on him, so there was no way for her to contact him.
If Evelyn and Bess hadn't been there, Charlie would have ended up...
Elsa's mind was spinning out of control. She knew that Charlie was a powerful man and would never put himself in danger, but she just couldn't control her rampant thoughts.
'Ding!' the elevator rang as it reached the floor they were at. Elsa sprang up to her feet and fixed her eyes on the elevator door. When the doors opened, she saw Charlie step out with Olivia in his arms. It didn't seem like she was hurt.
Ezra and the girls quickly walked to the elevator.
"Olivia! Olivia!" Elsa and the two girls shouted nervously as they ran to her. Seeing that Olivia was still unconscious, Elsa looked up at Charlie and asked, "Charlie, what's wrong with her?"
Charlie gazed deeply at Elsa. Without answering her, he turned to Ezra and Evelyn and said, "Get the cars."
They nodded and headed towards the garage to bring the cars to the hotel gate. Meanwhile, Charlie took Olivia to the rest area and gently put her down on the sofa. To the three girls, he said, "Forget what happened today." He looked back at Olivia, who was sound asleep, and then turned back to them. "Olivia won't remember anything that happened today either. Although it was nothing serious, I don't want Quiet Misery to cause her anymore trouble. And if you want Olivia to be happy, you'd better keep today's events a secret."
Anna eyed Charlie with a suspicious look, while Ann and Elsa nodded at him obediently.
About five minutes later, Charlie picked Olivia up in his arms and led all of them out of the hotel.
"You girls go with Evelyn. I'll bring Olivia in Ezra's car," Charlie said.
"Okay," Elsa said, and the other two nodded in response.
The place was pretty quiet now, as if nothing had happened. Ezra and Evelyn had parked the cars near the hotel gate and Charlie quickly got into the car with Olivia in his arms. As he got in, he could sense unwanted gazes on them, and some people were taking photos of them secretly.
As the two cars rolled out of the hotel, Ezra asked, "Did you hypnotize her?"
"Yes," Charlie responded indifferently and held out his hand. "Give me your phone."
