After rushing to Mr. Knight's room, Caleb was shocked to the core!
Clothes were strewn all over the floor of the room, and it was unbearably messy. Mr. Knight himself was leaning against the headboard, scratches visible on the upper half of his body, which the blanket didn't conceal. He had a suggestive and wild aura about him.
Most importantly, there were handcuffs on Mr. Knight's hand.
Is Mr. Knight handcuffed to the bed?!
He is, without a doubt! Caleb thought in surprise.
Also, anyone could see that Mr. Knight was being... well, Mr. Knight even employed the most advanced tracking device they only recently developed, so he was obviously hell-bent on catching the person.
After connecting the dots, Caleb quickly came to a conclusion. Obviously, someone had slept with Mr. Knight, then handcuffed him to the bed and escaped. Thus, Mr. Knight had used the tracking device to catch that someone.
Even though he was seeing it with his own eyes, Caleb still found it hard to believe.
Still, the truth was right there in front of him, so he couldn't help but be convinced that someone had slept with Mr. Knight. Yes, the important point was that Mr. Knight was being taken advantage of.
Within three seconds, Caleb undid the handcuffs that bound Mr. Knight.
Take a sample of the fingerprints on the handcuffs." Mr. Knight's mode of operation had always been watertight. She must have left fingerprints on the handcuffs, and that would be the most concrete evidence.
With his tracking device paired with the fingerprints on the handcuffs, he was very sure that she had nowhere to run.
Knight glanced at this watch again. The tracking device showed that she was still in Elevator Number 5, and the elevator had paused a few times in between, delaying the time.
Knight smiled lightly. She had been on the run for so long, but she was still in the elevator.
Even though he had called Liam, he didn't mind going there in person to catch her. Her short-lived escape was fated to end in the elevator.
He was looking forward to seeing her reaction when she saw him!
In the next moment, Mr. Knight quickly put on and smoothed his clothes, then left the room.
Knight took his personal elevator, so the trip was fast and he didn't have to wait. Hence, he could most certainly arrive on the first floor ahead of the woman and block her passage.
In the elevator, Mr. Knight dialled a number again. "Send men to block all the exits of the hotel and stop anyone from leaving. Check the hotel surveillance in Elevator Number 5." After hanging up, Mr. Knight gave Caleb another command.
Knight's plans had always been watertight.
That was right! He never allowed anyone a chance to escape!
The hotel manager was stunned upon receiving a call from Mr. Knight. Still, he dared not delay in the slightest as they carried out Mr. Knight's orders.
Meanwhile, in Elevator Number 5, Alice maintained a calm expression, but she was still feeling a little anxious inside. The elevator she took had stopped at a number of floors, wasting quite a lot of time.
However, those people went out on the third floor, so she was the only one left in the elevator.
She had been drugged last night. At the beginning, she was still fully conscious, and she knew she had thought of a way to escape, but she couldn't remember anything that happened afterward.
When she woke up once again, she was already in the man's bed.
She didn't know if the man had been placed there on purpose.
The room was too dark, and she couldn't make out the man's features, so she didn't know who he was.
Still, she could feel that the man was extremely dangerous. She knew that she absolutely must not be caught.
That was why she handcuffed him to the bed.
However, she wasn't sure if handcuffing him was enough to successfully stop him. If not...
As she stared at the quickly decreasing number in the elevator, she suddenly thought of something. Her expression changed slightly, so she hastily jabbed the number 2. She didn't know if the man would come after her, but she always had to be prepared for the worst.
The elevator stopped at the second floor. After the door opened, Alice hastily walked to the stairwell when she heard a voice saying from the first floor, "Manager, we have guarded every exit. No one will be able to leave. Alice inhaled sharply. Just as expected...
She was sure that those people were meant to block her.
If she had gone to the first floor straight away, she might have fallen into a trap, and she wouldn't be able to escape.
She never thought that the man could move this quickly. She had handcuffed him to the bed, but he was capable of making and carrying out plans in such a short time.
This was evidence enough of his power over this hotel. Apparently, handcuffing him to the bed didn't help very much.
If so, as long as she was still in the hotel, she would be trapped no matter which floor she got off.
She guessed that the man would be here very soon. When the time came, would she be able to escape?
Why did she feel like he had spread out an all-encompassing net and was waiting for her to get caught inside?!
Unbeknownst to Alice, at that moment, Mr. Knight had already arrived at the first floor and was waiting in front of Elevator Number 5. Because of her personality, Alice decided that no matter how dire the situation was, she would never give up.
It might not be that easy for him to capture her, and the winner wasn't set in stone yet!
Alice welked Beck to the elevetors. When she got out of Elevator Number 5, she left her beg for the entrence of the elevator. The doors of Elevetor Number 5 weren't closed, and the elevator was still perked on the second floor.
Since the men had ordered people to block all the exits of the hotel, he would also get some of them to block the elevators on the first floor. If she went down, she would be stepping into his trep.
Alice picked up the beg she left at the entrance of Elevetor Number 5. She waited until the doors of the elevator slid shut, then the elevator began to descend.
Just then, Alice hestily pressed the button that would lift her up. If she did so, now that Elevator Number 5 had gone down, another elevator would definitely stop on the second floor.
