Chapter 34
Irvin got on the other elevator. He thought hard, then pressed for the second floor. According to the pattern, she might stop on the second floor. If I go straight to the second floor, maybe I can catch up, then see what she is doing on every floor.
Irvin was right; Alice did stop on the second floor. To be exact, she was waiting for Irvin. She was playing a psychological tactic. However, this tactic was not aimed at Ethan, but at Irvin.
It was because if she wanted to get out without a hitch, she needed the cooperation of Irvin.
At this moment, Alice had changed her appearance. She had swapped her wavy curls for a man’s wig. Then, she replaced the sunglasses she was wearing with gold-rimmed glasses, which were also for men.
When the elevator stopped, she wiped off her makeup and disguised herself as a man.
It is said that makeup was comparable to a disguise, and it was indeed true. Moreover, Alice inherited the art from the Mache people.
When she came today, she was worried that she would be exposed, so she had prepared in advance. Of course, this was one of the habits she had developed over the past seven years.
In these seven years, Elijah had repeatedly sent people to finish her off. If she hadn’t been careful, she would have died long ago.
The trench coat she wore was wearable on both sides, but the colors and styles of the two sides were completely different.
Alice flipped the coat and straightened it, and it immediately became something else—a male trench coat. Of course, this trench coat couldn’t be bought outside as she had designed it and it was tailor- made.
Then, she took off her shoes and threw them into the trash can before she took a pair of casual men’s shoes from her bag and put them on.
The pair of shoes was also specially designed whereby it had an inner heightening insole. In addition, the shoes were soft so they could be folded, and they didn’t take up much room in the bag.
Then, Alice cleaned the bag’s contents and threw them into the trash can.
The pants she wore today were unisex and in black. After she changed her shoes, she rolled up the pants by eight inches.
The inner color of the pants was light blue.
Immediately, the ordinary plain black pants transformed into stylish cropped pants. As the upper part of the pants was covered by the trench coat, only the light blue part was revealed, so it looked like it had changed color.
The elevator Irvin took stopped on the second floor. When he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a man walk over.
The man looked refined and clean, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
He looked like a weak young man. Irvin was not into this type, so he glanced at the man and didn’t pay much more attention to him.
Alice was delighted when she saw that. It seems that he doesn’t recognize me. Of course, I dressed up like this because I knew that a gentry like Irvin despises weak young men the most!
Meanwhile, Irvin looked around in the corridor and didn’t see the woman he was looking for. The other elevator showed that it stopped on the first floor. Does that mean she has gone down? Mr. Knight is waiting in the first-floor lobby, so I must hurry to watch the show. The woman has pressed for every
floor on the sixth floor, so even if she got off on the second floor, the elevator would go to the first floor by itself.
Alice was fortunate today, as no one boarded the elevator when it stopped on the other floors. When she arrived on the second floor, two women got on the elevator to go to the first floor.
When Irvin returned to the elevator, Alice followed suit and got on the same elevator. She lifted the corners of her lips slightly as everything happened just as planned.
The elevator soon stopped on the first floor. When it opened, she immediately saw Ethan standing at the elevator entrance. He obviously wants to catch me in the act!
Ethan first glanced at Irvin, then his eyes fell on Alice.
When Alice saw Ethan, there was a flicker in her eyes. This man is too handsome! Apollo is attractive enough, but this man is on par with him. The big question is, is this man here to stop me? I’m sure I have never seen this man nor known him at all. If he is here to stop me, what prompts him to do it must be related to that night seven years ago. Is it possible that he’s that man? Could he be the man I slept with that night seven years ago? However, no matter what, before I get a clear picture of the situation, I will not yield and get caught.
Her mind was busy, but Alice did not show panic on her face. She knew very well that this man was not just anyone, and he wasn’t easily fooled.
Then, she remembered when the elevator opened, the man before her first looked at Irvin in the elevator.
She was happy as everything had happened as she expected. There was another reason why she made Irvin go down. If she came down with Irvin, he would surely distract the man.
As such, she exited the elevator one step ahead of Irvin with a natural speed, movement, and expression.
No one could see any fault in her.
Then, Alice found that the two ladies who had just come down from the second floor were still in the hall and hadn’t left. Apparently, they were stopped by the man.
This man does not take chances and arrests everyone! How thorough of him!
However, Alice knew the two ladies could confuse the man for a while.
She had only taken a few steps when Ethan’s gaze turned away from Irvin and landed on her.
Ethan gazed at her and she immediately panicked. Despite that, she didn’t let the panic show on her face, and she still walked smoothly.
“Bro, hasn’t she come down yet? I stopped at the second floor and didn’t see her.” Irvin also stepped out of the elevator and looked around the lobby. After he didn’t find the person he was looking for, he frowned slightly. “Where did she go?”
When Alice heard Irvin call the man brother, she was shocked. She knew that man was not Irvin’s biological brother, as she knew him personally. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
If he isn’t Irvin’s biological brother, then there’s only one possibility—he is Ethan Knight, the young master of the Knight Family, the head of the seven great families in Rodcaster. So it seems he is Mr. Knight of the Knight Family. I have nothing to do with Mr. Knight, and he has no reason to capture me. Of course, if Mr. Knight is the man from seven years ago, he has every reason to catch me.
