Ethan narrowed his eyes. She’s pretending not to know me? Very well. I’ll talk to her when we get home, but for now, business comes first. He looked at Derek. “What happened?” he said coolly.

Just like that, everyone thought Ethan was here to see Derek, and that explained why he showed up.

“These ladies said Miss Woland stole their necklace. Miss Woland called the cops, but then they found the necklace in her bag.” Derek shook his head. I can’t believe someone can be so stupid. She called the cops only to get herself in more trouble. I shouldn’t have listened to her. I should have stopped them from searching her bag.

Keith narrowed his eyes and gave Alice a look. Most people thought Ethan was here for Derek, but he didn’t. He was reminded of that night seven years ago. To be precise, he was reminded of the girl he met in the hotel. In her escape, she crashed into him, and he was captivated by her beauty. She was as gorgeous as an angel.

Someone was chasing her back then. When he settled the pursuers, the girl was already gone. For the whole night, he searched the hotel for her, but he couldn’t find her. Then, he found out that Ethan was looking for a woman as well after that night. He couldn’t believe Ethan would be looking for a woman. Keith realized that Ethan had glanced at Alice a few times after he came in. That’s not how that guy works. Keith narrowed his eyes.

Ethan looked at Alice again. She was sitting there silently, not even looking at him. Aside from the glance she gave him after he came in, she didn’t spend more time on him after that. Now she pretended they were strangers, and she didn’t even ask him for help. Ethan felt a bit annoyed because of that.

“Do we have any surveillance cameras here?” the cop asked. That was the only way to find out the truth.

Keith’s exclusive room. There are no cameras.” That was what annoyed Derek. Other rooms had surveillance cameras, but not this room. This room was exclusive to Keith, and he forbade anyone from installing any surveillance cameras. They believed that Alice would never steal.
