Alice’s heart almost jumps out her throat and her face turns pale. It is Charles.
But why did he kidnap Rebecca?
Even if Alice couldn’t figure out the reason, she knows that Charles is not a good person. Otherwise, the photos would not be disclosed that year.
Rebecca is just a four-year-old kid, and Alice has no idea what he would do to her.
Edward is aware of Alice’s anxiousness and he also has a mix feeling. Alice always remains composed in face of Edward, because she doesn’t love him anymore.
But now Rebecca is gone and she is so frightened yet anxious as if she has lost her wits.
Edward couldn’t help but wonder if she would worry about him if something happens to him someday.
Perhaps she would not.
After all she has no feelings for him. Edward’s heart aches.
“I will bring Rebecca back. Can you stay with me?” He approaches closer to her and asks.
Although he is clear that it is not proper to say like this under the circumstances, he is unable to make through the days without her.
Alice is astonished. Looking into his deep eyes without mood swings, she feels that as if he is not the one saying this to her.
However, she is clear that Edward is serious.
At such a critical moment, Alice would promise him anything as long as he could bring Rebecca back.
“I promise you. As long as you could bring Rebecca back to me, I will stay with you,” says Alice.
Although Edward has got the answer he wants, he is not pleased and instead he looks even gloomier.
It seems that she could sacrifice everything for her children.
The anger emerges from the deep of his heart, and he holds her hand tightly uncontrollably. She feels a little pain but she remains silent, hoping Edward would hurry to save Rebecca after getting the answer he wants.
“Alice, even if you don’t ask me to, I will rescue Rebecca. She is not only your kid,” Edward replies while gnashing his teeth.
Charles didn’t expect things went so smoothly and it was beyond his expectation.
Joanna just asked Charles who tries to please Joanna to take a revenge on Alice. After all, Joanna has promised him that as long as Edward couldn’t be with Alice, Joanna would agree to be with Charles.
Charles has spared all his effort these years in order to be with Joanna, and now he is completely convinced by Joanna.
Therefore, he keeps paying attention to Edward’s every move and finally he got a chance.
Charles planned to catch Alice and sell her abroad. After all, he has no guts to commit murder and arson.
However, he accidently gets to know that Edward has two children with Alice.
Therefore, he figures out another idea.
He manages to kidnap Rebecca so that Alice would fall into his snare. In that case, he could even ask Edward for a large sum of money.
Edward has taught him several lessons these years which made Charles turn to be a laughingstock in his family, so Charles always bears a grudge on him. This time he determines to ruin Edward’s standing and reputation.
However, the director doesn’t trust her at all and even thinks she might make a mistake, so he asks his subordinates to move their attention away and even dispatches the policemen who have been sent to track Charles’s whereabouts to other places.
If it weren’t for the fact that the police show solicitude for this case, Alice would suspect that the police are reluctant to help them.
But in fact, the police are suspicious about the waiters in the restaurant and start to inquiry one by one, but they do not take any steps to Charles.
Alice is torn with anxiety so she turns to Edward but finds he is on the phone which makes her become more anxious. The longer the delay, the worse the situation is for Rebecca.
She is not sure what Charles would do to Rebecca, but it is obviously that the police are trying to speak for Charles.
After for a while, Edward walks in. When he is aware of Alice’s anxiousness, he comforts her, “Trust me. I will find her.”
Alice has no choice but nod her head. If it weren’t for Albert who keeps grabbing her hands, she would have collapsed.
Charles is driving the car with great joy but doesn’t expect new problems cropping up.
Several SUV block his way and a dozen of men in black suit get out of the car with gun in their hands.
Charles is so frightened and his heart almost jumps out since he doesn’t know what is going on.
He has never offended the mafia.
The leading man with a scar in his face steps to his car, pointing the gun at Charles and says in a cold voice, “Get out.”
Charles reaches out to open the door while trembling uncontrollably and his legs go limp. It is natural for people to be frightened under such a situation let alone a coward like Charles.
“Well, I…I am just passing by. Did you mistake the wrong person?” Charles looks at the group of black men who he has never met before.
