She has been sentenced to three years. It should be Joanna's masterpiece.
"Where are you going?"
Randall Collins pulls back Alice and she shakes her head. She just wants to find her kids. She just lost the opportunity to acquire the whereabouts of her children. Only if she had knelt to Joanna just before…
Alice blames herself.
"There’s something wrong?"
Alice keeps shaking her head, withdraws her hands from Randall Collins’s, and says politely, "Thank you."
Such alienation and indifference makes Randall Collins a little awkward, staring at Alice's stubborn eyes, and says, “You seem to be in trouble, allow me to help."
Help?
Alice, in shock, raises her head and looks at Randall Collins, thinking that Collins family too has influence in the city and might be able to help her find the children. She dwells on it and then tells the story of her missing children.
Randall Collins gets confused. If his deductions are correct, Joanna meant that the kids are in her hands, waiting for Alice to throw herself into the net.
"Are you willing to do everything necessary in order to find your children?"
"Yes, I truly want to find them."
"Noted, remember your words."
————
Randall Collins finds the kids right away. With the help of his family, he comes to know that the Mayer Hale have been ordered to guard them personally.
In this way, Randall Collins is inevitably difficult to manage.
Offending George for Alice is definitely not a very good trade but a mother’s heart always comes first... Moreover, might good to play a little game versus Edward and beat him.
The so-called kindness was just to win against Edward.
Randall Collins calls the police.
————
At the same time when the Randall Collins finds out the kids’ location, Edward finally realizes something is wrong. Using his own connections, he learns that it was George who was secretly tricking him. The two children are hidden inside the police station.
Seeing the anger on his boss's face and the appearance of leaving, Allen Ginsberg suddenly raises and shouts, “Boss..."
Edward is already on the move. Allen does not have the authority to stop him. Allen is embarrassed and worried thinking that the one behind this is Mayer Hale.
As a coincidence, Janet calls again.
"Your highness..."
"What is Edward doing and why doesn't he answer my calls?"
"He went out just now."
Hearing this, Janet has a vision, "Where did he go?"
"I am." Randall Collins smiles slightly, steps and hugs Alice in his arms. From the corner of his eyes, he sees the handsome man getting out of the car few yards away. The smile grows bigger, and he even deliberately wraps Alice' head with his hands. "Worry not? I will be out before you even notice it."
Alice, focused only on the rescue of her kids, doesn't notice Randall Collins's weird behavior and nods, "Hurry, please."
"Wait for me here."
"I will."
Alice, being somewhere else with her mind, doesn't notice Randall Collins leaning down, and gradually approaching her mouth. Just as she is about to be kissed, a very loud sound is heard, like an explosion. Edward punched Randall Collinshard, awakening Alice from her vivid dream. He appears in front of her like a lightening.
Edward grabs Alice's wrist, stares at her sternly, and goes, "What the hell are you doing?!"
Alice is still in a state of confusion over what just happened, but seeing Edward hit Randall Collins, makes her furious. She throws away Edward’s hand and lifts Randall Collins from the ground, asking with concern , "Are you okay?"
Randall Collins, being beaten is very angry, but watching Alice throws away Edward, he instantly becomes proud again, deliberately pretending to be injured, leaning against Alice, "I am good. I believe Mr. Smith did not mean to…"
Edward clenches his fist again and raises it at midair.
Alice jumps between them, preventing Edward to strike again, "Get out of the way!"
"Edward, are you crazy?"
"Yes! I'm crazy to fall in love with a woman like you!" Edward grits his teeth, his eyes full of pain.
It is over.
