Chapter 179 Ethan’s Scheme (1)
Ethan and Alice’s matter would be completely resolved, and Rosy wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore in the future.
With furrowed brows, Ethan thought, She went back to her room just like that? I waited here for so long, and she just went back to rest? She’s the one who said she wanted to talk to me.
Although he was frustrated, there was nothing he could do. After all, she was his wife. What else can I do? I can only spoil her.
He then got up and went upstairs. As he passed Alice’s room, he tried the doorknob and found that the door was locked from the inside. At once, his heart sank. Does she really need to guard herself against me like this? Is this necessary?
After taking a deep breath, he reminded himself not to be impatient and to take it slowly. Little Fox is still wary of me. I can’t rush things.
Alice had originally planned to handle things with Rosy the next day and leave directly. However, just before dawn, she received a phone call from Jane, who informed her about some unusual situations involving her brother. Worried and anxious, she immediately booked the earliest flight.
Before the break of dawn, she hurriedly left the Knight Residence and headed to the airport. She was too anxious and worried, and the flight was scheduled so soon that she didn’t bother to disguise herself.
The last time she retrieved the document with her brother’s fingerprint, she disguised herself as Tanner because the trip would raise suspicions about her visiting her brother. However, this time, no one would know that she was going to see him, and those people were no longer monitoring her. Hence, leaving openly would actually draw less suspicion.
On the other hand, Ethan woke up early as well and noticed that Alice’s room door was left open. Her room was slightly messy, especially the clothes in the wardrobe, which had clearly been rummaged through.
He checked Caroline’s room but didn’t find Alice there. So, he quickly went downstairs but still couldn’t find her. After that, he took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one answered after several attempts.
At that moment, Alice had already arrived at the airport and was busy with the formalities, Her phone was in her bag, and she had lowered the volume during the night, so she didn’t hear the ringing.
His face darkened gradually, and he decided to call Caleb.
Before long, Caleb returned his call and said, “Mr. Knight, Mrs. Knight bought a ticket for a flight to Cliaria… Bruce did the same, and their seats are next to each other.”
Caleb’s voice sounded somewhat shocked. What’s going on? Mr. Knight has just solved Mrs. Knight’s case of business espionage for Bruce, and now she’s trying to elope with him?
Meanwhile, Ethan’s eyes flickered quickly. Yesterday, she said that Caroline had already adapted and that it was time for her to let go. And today, she’s planning to leave the country with Bruce already?!
Previously, he had been certain that she had no feelings for Bruce, but recent events made him uncertain. Does she have feelings for Bruce?
After a sigh, he said firmly, “Book me a seat next to her.” I will see for myself what she is up to.
On the other hand, Alice truly didn’t expect to encounter Bruce on the plane, let alone have seats next to each other. What the hell is going on? I don’t think his case of business espionage has been resolved. Archie has already filed charges against him and applied for his arrest from the prosecutor’s office. How can he still appear on a plane?
At this thought, she narrowed her eyes slightly. Archie had just returned to the country with her, and they had been keeping a low profile. Obviously, their influence within Rodcaster was not enough. Although Archie has applied for Bruce’s arrest, with Thomas‘ connections in Rodcaster, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to secure Bruce’s release. Is he trying to escape?
Before she could recover from the shock, she felt a shadow block most of the light. So, she instinctively looked up, and upon seeing the person in front of her, she became even more stunned. What the hell? Why is Ethan here too? She didn’t know how to react and just stared blankly at Ethan.
