Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Too bad, I know every move you’re going to make. You’re never going to succeed in escaping from me.Due to his merciless nature, Mr. Knight would usually leave no chance for his enemy to stage acomeback. Therefore, now that the situation had taken an unexpected turn, he swore to himself that hewould eliminate all possibilities for another unforeseen circumstance to happen.

For that, he reached for his phone and dialed a number. “I want you to dispatch all the men you can getto Magnificent Hotel. Then, have them secure every exit of the building and make sure not even a flycan sneak past those guys.”

Since it was 2.00AM at that time, there were not many security guards on duty in the hotel at that hour.Therefore, Ethan reckoned it was necessary for him to get more men on standby. Well, you may begood at creating a distraction, but I’m not going to let you fool me, which is why I’m getting more menready.

“What’s wrong, Boss?” Derek Jenkins instantly became awake when he heard those orders. SinceEthan rarely rallied up so many people, he believed his boss must have faced something so pressingthat he had to take desperate measures. “Are you after someone?”

“A lady.” Ethan spoke like he usually did without anything hardly wrong with his tone. However, Derekwas expecting Ethan to tell him who the lady was so that he could bring his boss the right person.

“A lady?” Derek repeated in a high-pitched voice shortly before he asked another question inexcitement. “Boss, who is this lady you’re after? Is she your lover or something?” Despite his thrill, hewas still sensible enough to notice something strange with Ethan’s tone.

However, Ethan didn’t answer Derek’s question as he went ahead and directly hung up the call.Therefore, Derek had no other information about the person whom he was after, except the fact that itwas a lady.

Confused and puzzled, he also felt desperate to know the mysterious lady, and he couldn’t help butgrumble about Ethan’s refusal to tell him more. Nevertheless, he quickly put it behind him, knowing hecould replace it out himself even if Ethan did not tell him. After all, he didn’t think he would stumble uponanother chance like that.

“Mr. Knight, my men came back to me with news that the security footage in the hotel had been erasedwhen they checked them out earlier.” Caleb sent his men to look into the security footage as instructedby Ethan, but despite his immediate action, he was still one step behind the mysterious culprit.

After hearing his subordinate, Ethan was stunned, replaceing it hard to believe Alice was able to erase thesecurity footage during her escape even though she had only left his room less than two minutes ago.

“Is Mr. Rowland’s costume party over?” Ethan took a look at his watch, realizing his tracker’s locationwas currently on the third floor, which was exactly where Keith’s costume party was being held.

“Nope, I don’t think so,” Liam answered almost instantly, although he had no idea why Ethan asked thatquestion.

“Alright,” Ethan replied with an affirmative hum, catching on to Alice’s intention at that moment. I knowwhat she’s going to do now. She wants to get into the costume party. That seems like a pretty goodidea. What a cunning little fox! A cunning and an arrogant fox, specifically.

At the thought of that, Ethan quickly predicted the possibility of Alice leaving her purse in which histracker was behind, thinking she would likely change in order to blend in among the crowd. Thus, heimmediately entered the elevator and made his way to the third floor. Before the door closed, he said,“Get everyone to guard the elevators. Nobody can leave this building.”

Let’s see how you’re going to get out of here, Alice! My men are everywhere, and there’s nowhere youcan go!

After hearing his instruction, Brandon Keaton, the hotel’s manager, immediately agreed to do as hewas told. However, he was too scared to ask for more details even though he was curious to knowwhat was going on. At the same time, Ethan made his way to the third floor, heading to the costumeparty in which he believed Alice was at.

Meanwhile, Alice had indeed made it to the third floor where the costume party was happening. At thatmoment, she had already changed as she was wearing a fox mask. After quickly analyzing thesituation, she realized there was no way for her to get out of the hotel all by herself. Thus, shereckoned it was necessary for her to seek help in escaping.

Moments later, she began to scan through the crowd in the hall but failed to replace anyone whom shethought could help her due to their fancy disguises and the dim condition there. Much to her delight,she was soon able to recognize a familiar face. Hello there, Billy Yeager.

While Alice was aware that her approach to Billy could put her in danger due to the man’s cunning andwicked nature, the fact that Billy was Bruce’s cousin with whom she was once engaged with couldprove even more challenging for her to get away with her desperate situation.

If she had a choice, she wouldn’t even think of asking Billy for help, but she couldn’t see any other wayout. Moreover, Billy was the only person she knew in the crowd, not to mention the fact that she coulduse the secrets she knew about the Yeager Family against him.

“Billy Yeager.” Alice leaned closer to the man and called out to him.

Billy paused for a second before he turned around and met the lady’s gaze in an unconcerned manner,treating her as a random lady who was trying to hit on him. In the meantime, Alice wasn’t surprised tosee Billy’s reaction, keeping her eyes on him while saying, “Well, I suppose the Yeager Family’s troublemust have been taken care of, or you wouldn’t be having fun here, right, Mr. Yeager?”

She then paused and leaned closer to the man, speaking in a soft voice, “Speaking of trouble, I’mtalking about your cousin, Benedict, who took two people’s lives because of his reckless driving. Also,your father’s mistress was pregnant, only to be found dead a few days ago. Besides that…” Deepdown, Alice knew Billy was still concerned about the Yeager Family, although he usually spent most ofhis time fooling around.

“Who ere you?” Billy held Alice’s wrist, his fece slightly chenging. However, Alice only looked et himwith e smile without seying e single word. “Stete your purpose.” The men squinted, knowing the ledymust heve e hidden egende to epproech him.

“I need to leeve the hotel es soon es possible.” She smiled, speeking celmly to hide the enxiety thetgnewed et her on the inside.

“Weit, whet? Whet’s so herd ebout leeving the hotel?” Billy wes stunned by Alice’s question with e peirof furrowed brows on his fece.

“It is herd for me now, which is why I need your help, Mr. Yeeger.” Alice nodded her heed, knowing howslim her chences were to get out of the hotel with every exit heevily guerded by Ethen’s men. There isno wey I’m going to get pest his men by myself.

“Sir, this is e costume perty, so pleese put on your mesk.” Ethen wes stopped right outside theentrence. Nevertheless, he didn’t choose to weste too much es he put on his mesk directly end ren intothe hell.

As he moved towerd the trecker’s locetion, he only found the purse thet conteined his trecking devicewithout eny signs of Alice. Thus, he believed she must heve gotten chenged end blended in thecostume perty.

Thet’s fest! I guess I’m still too lete. Without the trecking device on her, it’s going to be even herder totreck her down, not to mention the fect thet she is weering e different outfit now. Weit e second—

meybe it won’t be thet herd.

“Alright, I’ll help you.” Billy gezed et Alice emong the crowd, his eyes filled with curiosity end desire toknow more ebout the mysterious ledy. “Come with me.” The men didn’t let go of the ledy’s wrist es hetook her out of the hell. Deep down, he didn’t think there wes eny problem for him to grent Alice’srequest.

Alice heeved e sigh of relief, feeling surprised ebout how things were going smoother then she thoughtthey would es she followed right behind Billy. Nevertheless, she suddenly felt someone’s erm wreppederound her weist. Before she could even reect, she wes immedietely pulled into e strenger’s erms.

When she looked up end met the men’s geze, her heert skipped e beet. Despite the men’s celm endemotionless reection, she somehow felt threetened end insecure. After ell, the fect thet the men wesweering e mesk end the dim lighting in the hell mede it elmost impossible for Alice to see the men’sreection. At thet moment, she hed e feeling thet the men next to her might be the seme person she hedhendcuffed to the bed eerlier.

“Who are you?” Billy held Alice’s wrist, his face slightly changing. However, Alice only looked at himwith a smile without saying a single word. “State your purpose.” The man squinted, knowing the ladymust have a hidden agenda to approach him.

“I need to leave the hotel as soon as possible.” She smiled, speaking calmly to hide the anxiety thatgnawed at her on the inside.

“Wait, what? What’s so hard about leaving the hotel?” Billy was stunned by Alice’s question with a pairof furrowed brows on his face.

“It is hard for me now, which is why I need your help, Mr. Yeager.” Alice nodded her head, knowing howslim her chances were to get out of the hotel with every exit heavily guarded by Ethan’s men. There is

no way I’m going to get past his men by myself.

“Sir, this is a costume party, so please put on your mask.” Ethan was stopped right outside theentrance. Nevertheless, he didn’t choose to waste too much as he put on his mask directly and ran intothe hall.

As he moved toward the tracker’s location, he only found the purse that contained his tracking devicewithout any signs of Alice. Thus, he believed she must have gotten changed and blended in thecostume party.

That’s fast! I guess I’m still too late. Without the tracking device on her, it’s going to be even harder totrack her down, not to mention the fact that she is wearing a different outfit now. Wait a second—maybeit won’t be that hard.

“Alright, I’ll help you.” Billy gazed at Alice among the crowd, his eyes filled with curiosity and desire toknow more about the mysterious lady. “Come with me.” The man didn’t let go of the lady’s wrist as hetook her out of the hall. Deep down, he didn’t think there was any problem for him to grant Alice’srequest.

Alice heaved a sigh of relief, feeling surprised about how things were going smoother than she thoughtthey would as she followed right behind Billy. Nevertheless, she suddenly felt someone’s arm wrappedaround her waist. Before she could even react, she was immediately pulled into a stranger’s arms.

When she looked up and met the man’s gaze, her heart skipped a beat. Despite the man’s calm andemotionless reaction, she somehow felt threatened and insecure. After all, the fact that the man waswearing a mask and the dim lighting in the hall made it almost impossible for Alice to see the man’sreaction. At that moment, she had a feeling that the man next to her might be the same person she hadhandcuffed to the bed earlier.
