Chapter 70

That made sense. Kim owned a bank and didn’t rely on the Lewis Group for sustenance, which was why he dared to confront Jaydon in such a manner.

Jaydon’s mouth bled, and as he steadied himself, his eyes turned dark with rage. The onlookers instinctively retreated, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire, and hurried back to their rooms.

Meanwhile, Kim remained composed, looking coldly at Jaydon. He had longed to strike Jaydon, who was tormenting the woman Kim loved. No one knew how much Kim wanted to make her happy. Yet, Kim could only watch from afar. Even when he was right in front of her, they seemed to be separated by an insurmountable distance.

Kim harbored a deep hatred for Jaydon and the Lewis family. If he could destroy the Lewis Group, he would be the first to bring Jaydon down, ensuring Jaydon would never rise again.

“Feeling heartbroken. huh?” Jaydon taunted as he approached Kim, his voice cold. “Kim, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. But you’re just daydreaming. Alita is mine.”

“Yeah, I’m feeling heartbroken, because I love her. You don’t deserve her. But let me tell you, don’t be so quick to make assumptions about the future. Who knows what will happen, Kien provocatively retorted, a hint of cunning in his smile.

“Come on. Show me what you’ve got. You’re going to pay for this today,” Jaydon said, kicking out. He was looking for an outlet for his frustrations, and Kim happened to be a good choice

Kim managed to dodge the kick but still got hit. Enraged, he struck back. “Jaydon, do you think you’re a god? Let me tell you, you’re nothing but an arrogant a*shole.”

The battle raged on, punches thrown at each other in the corridor, a release of pent-up emotions that had long been brewing inside them.

Those hiding in their rooms didn’t even dare to witness the escalating conflict.

At the corner of the corridor, Samuel leaned casually against the wall, watching the two men fight without any attempt to intervene. His warm smile sent shivers down people’s spines. He knew that Kim had a purpose in coming to the Lewis family.

Annabel’s room was entirely white, with white bedding, a white bed, a white sofa, white cabinets, and a matching dresser.

“Have a seat, Alita. I’ll get you a glass of water, Annabel said with a smile, but her expression turned malicious as she turned

away.

Alita sat there blankly, not responding to her. Annabel poured a glass of water and handed it to her, saying. “Alita, have a drink.

“Thank you,” Alita said, reaching out to take the glass.

Suddenly, Annabel’s expression turned stern as she splashed the entire glass of water onto Alita’s face. “I think this will sober you up,” she said

Alita, lost in her thoughts, was caught off guard by Annabel’s sudden change in demeanor. The icy water ran down her face, leaving her stiff and shivering

Alita looked at Annabel and let out a bitter laugh. The people of the Lewis family were born with two faces-appearing gentle m public yet malicious in private.

Chapter 70

“What are you laughing at? You must be pleased that Kim is helping you against Jaydon, right? You shameless, despicable bitch!” Annabel said, slamming the glass down. She wanted to beat Alita, but she held back, knowing she had to explain.

herself to Kim later.

Alita stood up and smiled, saying, “You and your brother are quite a pair, equally heartless and cruel. Even your way of insulting people is the same.” She wiped the water, walked out of the room, and saw the two men fighting in the distance. She blinked expressionlessly and walked in the opposite direction. She planned to hide somewhere for a few days. But she had no friends or relatives, and nowhere to go.

Meanwhile, Samuel noticed Alita leaving and discreetly followed her, not bothering to watch the fight.

Annabel walked out of the room and saw Kim and Jaydon fighting. She quickly ran over and pushed Jaydon away, saying. “Jaydon, why are you hitting Kim?”

Jaydon, surprised by his sister’s infatuation with Kim, retorted, “You heartless girl, I’m your brother!” Frustrated, he turned

away,

“Even if you’re my brother, you can’t hit my man!” Annabel, caressing Kim’s face, said, “Does it hurt, Kim? Jaydon went too

far.

“It’s okay.” Kim forced a smile.

Ignoring them, Jaydon stormed into Annabel’s room and called for Alita. Finding the room empty, he felt a sense of unease growing inside him. As he turned, he asked Annabel. “Where’s Alta?”

“Well, she left, probably back to her room,” Annabel casually replied.

Jaydon denied the possibility of Alita returning to the place that had bound her. Hurriedly, he ran to his room, hoping to replace her there, only to see nothing.

For three days, Alita had been nowhere to be seen.

The Lewis family mobilized all their resources, searching every inch of the city. Mike’s health rapidly deteriorated. He lay in bed, reliant on oxygen. If only he had agreed to let her go to Theisia, her disappearance could have been avoided.

Only one person in the family knew where she was, but he had no intention of revealing it. Escaping from the Lewis family might not be a bad thing after all.

Jaydon had not slept for several days. He knew she had no money and couldn’t stay in a hotel. But with no friends, where could she have gone? He remembered her hysterical plea for him to kill her that day. ‘No, it can’t be, he told himself. The mere possibility made his heart tremble uncontrollably.

Alita sat on a wooden board in a dilapidated shack, eating watermelon she had picked from the field. Surrounded by mosquitoes, toads, frogs, and snakes, she thought that the Lewis family would never know she was in such a place. Despite its shabbiness, she finally felt like she could breathe and be a part of the human world.

After a few days of calm reflection, Alita realized that running away wouldn’t solve anything. Jaydon would eventually replace her, even if she escaped to Theisia. She knew she had to go back. However, once back, she wouldn’t share a room with him again. She would become even more indifferent than before. In that cruel world, genuine feelings were unnecessary.

“Miss Thompson, it’s time for dinner,” a woman said, bringing her food. “You can’t just cat watermelon.”

“Thank you,” Alita said, surprised to see the woman serving her fried chicken, shrimp, and fish. As a stranger, Alita couldn’t believe someone would provide her with such good food every day.

“Have you had any visitors?” Alita asked cautiously.

“No, no one has come to see me. Just relax and stay as long as you need, the woman cheerfully replied.

Alita had seen all kinds of people in the mall, and she could eli the woman was lying. Someone had indeed visited, but not to take her back. They had come here to help her hide the

“Oh, I see. Thank you so much. Alita said, slowly cati, ser meal.

At night, the woman came and set up the bed net. Looking at the stars, Alita drowsily closed her eyes. In the hazy state, she heard a rustling sound nearby. The slight movement made her alert, but she didn’t open her eyes.

A figure approached the bed but didn’t lift the net, just watching. Alita thought this person wasn’t an ordinary villager but someone who knew her. If they had any ill intentions, they would have attacked when she was deeply asleep. Who could it be?’ she wondered. In the Lewis family, there seemed to be only one person who would do this.

Realizing the person was about to leave, she abruptly opened her eyes and called out, “Samuel.”

Samuel halted. “You’re not asleep yet? I thought you were. His voice was gentle and calm, without any hint of panic.

“I knew it was you,” Alita said, realizing that despite her efforts to hide, she had been under his control all along.

“Can’t believe that you would think of me. I’m touched, Samuel said as he lifted the net and sat down.

“How did you know I was here? Alita thought of him as the most terrifying man in the Lewis family, and he lived up to that reputation.

Samuel stroked her hair. “Silly girl, Because I’m a magician. I cast a spell and knew where you were. You hid well. It took quite a bit of magic for me to replace you.”

Alita chuckled. “Well, then, if you have magic power, why don’t you just teleport me to outer space?”

“That won’t do. It’s not suitable for humans, and I wouldn’t be able to see you. I can’t grant that request,” Samuel said, playfully poking her nose.

Alita pushed his hand away. “Don’t touch me. Show some respect. I won’t engage in incestuous activities”

“But I will,” Samuel said with a wicked smile.
