No Escape from Love novel Chapter 194

I finally felt a bit relieved. I believed in Alex, but I was also worried he might have acted impulsively.

Wiping away my tears, I reminded myself that this was not the time for crying or weakness—I had to find a way to help Alex.

"Serena, is this really that serious?" Lila looked at me with concern. "If Alex is innocent, then there's nothing to worry about, right?"

I took a deep breath to calm myself down while changing my clothes. "Lila, Alex is the CEO of Hastings Group. This matter has to be handled properly, or the impact on the company could be unpredictable."

"What are you going to do now?"

I finished getting dressed and grabbed my car keys. "I'm going to the Hastings residence to see Mr. Hastings Senior."

"Serena." Lila grabbed my hand, her voice trembling with urgency. "Right now, Mr. Hastings Senior must be furious. If you go back, he might blame you too."

"But I have to go." My tone was firm. "I don't know who's really behind this, but Lila, from the moment the kidnappers mentioned my name, I was already involved."

I drove straight to the Hastings residence.

The first person to notice me was Mom. The moment she saw me, a flash of surprise crossed her face before she rushed over in a panic, lowering her voice. "Why did you come back?"

"Mom." I looked at her. "I'm here to see Mr. Hastings Senior."

"You… You found out?" Mom's eyes welled up with anxious tears. "He's furious right now. Just go back. I'll talk to him later."
