Eva didn't say a word to Michael again until they reached the hotel to rest.

Michael settled her in a hotel near the airport, saying it was nearby, but it actually took nearly half an hour by car.

Once he had arranged everything for her, Michael said to her, "Have a good rest, I will come over tonight..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the hotel room closed in his face.

Michael paused for a moment, then finished his sentence, "to pick you up."

Unfortunately, there was no response at all.

"Mr. Cooper..."

David, who was beside him, hesitated and called out to him.

What was the point of all this?

Michael came back to his senses and turned his head to give his instructions, "Guard this place, don't let any suspicious people in." David nodded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cooper. No suspicious individuals will be allowed in. You haven't rested from last night until now, so you should go and rest." Michael had not rested for 20 hours already, his eyes were bloodshot.

Although in the current situation, he might not be able to sleep even if he went back to his room, it was still good to close his eyes and relax. "Okay." Michael replied heavily and then left.

After Eva closed the door, she walked inside. Fresh food was placed on the table, just delivered by the hotel. The two little ones each ate a piece of cake and didn't touch the other food on the table. They had been eating and watching cartoons on the plane, so they were probably tired as she had expected. Sure enough, the two little ones quickly fell asleep on the sofa, each holding a blanket.

Eva went over to cover them with the blanket and then sat down on the other side, taking out her phone.

Did they think that by deleting her contacts, she wouldn't be able to contact her family?

She remembered several people's phone numbers.

Especially Adrian's; she didn't add him to her contacts initially, so whenever he called, it displayed his cellphone number, and she remembered it very clearly.

Eva quickly entered Adrian's phone number from memory and dialed it.

But as soon as the call went through, it automatically hung up.

She tried a few times without success. In the end, Eva had to change her number and tried calling her father, Emily, Lisa, and even her father's secretary came to mind. But none of the calls went through. Was it her phone that couldn't connect? Eva scrolled through her contacts and found two people, Michael and David. She skipped Michael's name and dialed David's.

This time, the call went through immediately, and David answered promptly. His tone was cautious, afraid of offending Eva.

"Ms. Hansen, is there something you need that you are calling me?"

But no matter how cautious he was, he couldn't escape from Eva's anger, and she let out a cold laugh.

"Nothing special, just checking to see if my phone is broken since I can't make any calls."

David seemed guilty on the other end and remained silent for a while. Restless, Eva hung up on him immediately. Afterward, she stared at her phone, and halfway through removing the SIM card, she had another idea. She couldn't contact the people she wanted, but she could reach David.

With unfamiliar people, she might have a chance. Thinking this, Eva reinserted her SIM card and put her phone away.

After putting away her phone, Eva stood up and walked to the window. She drew back the curtains and saw that she was on the sixteenth floor. She then walked to the door, opened it, and saw David with an anxious expression, along with two tall bodyguards guarding the hotel entrance.

Both exits were blocked tightly. Michael had essentially placed her under house arrest, which made Eva furious.

She said to David, "I want to go out."

David immediately showed a troubled expression. "Ms. Hansen, I'm afraid that's not possible. You've had a tiring journey, and Mr. Cooper instructed for you and the children to rest, so it's better not to go out for now."

"Is it because I'm tired from the flight, or is it because I'm being confined?"

Upon hearing the term "confined" David immediately denied the allegation, "Ms. Hansen, how can you say it's confinement? You haven't rested much, and Mr. Cooper is doing this for your own good."

"He just won't let me out, right?"

David remained silent.

In front of him, Eva slammed the door shut once again. Returning to the sofa, she looked at the peaceful sleeping faces of her two little ones, and slowly regained her composure. There must be a way. She couldn't give up like this, she had to replace a way to seek help.

Eva took out her phone with the reinserted SIM card and dialed the hotel reception service number. As she heard the dial tone on the other end of the line... Eva was pleasantly surprised to replace that the call went through.

In other words, it seems that the people she wants to contact are simply restricted. Although she doesn't know what method Michael used, if she changes her SIM card, she should be able to reach others, right?

While pondering the options now available to her, Eva heard the voice from the front desk through her phone, asking if she needed any assistance.

Eva's heart skipped a beat, and she walked to the balcony.

"Hello, I'd like to order a pizza."

She quickly glanced at the food on the table and confirmed that there was no pizza before placing the order.

"A pizza? Alright, please wait a moment. Anything else you need?"

Ordering just one item might not divert suspicion enough, so Eva quickly mentioned a few other dishes that were not on the table, and even added some cuisine that would never appear in Australia, leaving the hotel staff bewildered. "I'm sorry, Ma'am, but the things you mentioned..."

"That's what I want. If you don't have them, replace a way to make them."

"Oh, and I also need a SIM card. Please bring it together with the food."

After finishing her request, Eva hung up the phone.

If her phone is being monitored, Michael and David would probably replace out about what she just said, indicating that this approach won't work.

But if it hasn't been discovered, next time, she can make a call for help to the outside world.

After putting down her phone, Eva returned to the sofa and quietly waited. Her current state of mind was not much different from that of a death row inmate preparing for execution.

As long as she could get a SIM card, she would have hope.

Sure enough, after a while, her phone rang. It was David calling.

Seeing this incoming call, Eva instantly felt a sense of despair.

With a defeated expression, she answered the phone.

"Ms. Hansen, I understand that you want to have Japanese cuisine now, but the hotel only provides..."

Eva coldly tugged at her lips and said in a frigid tone, "You want to confine me, right? Well, you've already confined me. Can't I even get the food I want?"
