Chapter 18: There are no innocent people in my hands

Ethan's throat tightened as he was questioned. "I can't bear to see Alice being treated like this. She's so innocent."

"There are no innocent people here with me!" Adam replied coldly and mercilessly.

Alice was pushed into the room and the door was shut, leaving her unable to open it no matter how hard she pulled.

There was movement behind her, and when she turned around, she saw a man with a big belly and wearing a bath towel coming out of the bathroom, revealing his flabby body.

When Mr. Zhu saw the stunning beauty that was Alice, his eyes lit up, especially since she was dressed in his favorite attire. "I never expected the club to have such a beauty. My five million membership fee was not in vain!"

Alice was so scared that she pressed herself against the door. "You... don't come near me! I'm not from the club. I... I was kidnapped. As long as you don't touch me, I will be very grateful to you!"

"I don't need your gratitude. Come, let me show you some love..." Mr. Zhu eagerly pounced on her."Ah!" Alice dodged.

When Mr. Zhu saw Alice move towards the bed, he became even more excited. "Don't worry, I'll give you as much money as you want. As long as you're with me, you'll have more money than you can spend in a lifetime..."

As he finished speaking, he pounced on her again when she wasn't paying attention, but he fell directly onto the bed. "Ah! Let go of me!"

"Oh, you're even more beautiful up close. Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I can't bear to hurt such a beauty." Mr. Zhu reached out to touch her soft and delicate face.

Alice was so scared that she quickly blocked his hand. She had a sudden idea and put on a smiling face. "Mr. Zhu, I'm going to take a shower. I'll be right back, okay?"

"It's okay. Even if you don't take a shower, you're still attractive enough." Mr. Zhu's mouth, which looked like a sausage, was about to kiss her.

Alice was disgusted and grabbed the table lamp on the bedside table, smashing it hard on Mr. Zhu's forehead.

"Ah!" Mr. Zhu's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Alice pushed the person off her with disgust and quickly got off thebed.

She was worried that he might have died since he wasn't moving.

She approached him and checked his breathing, he was still alive.

Alice didn't rush to leave, she slid down the wall and sat there, still trembling from the shock.

She knew that if she left now, Adam would just find another "Mr. Zhu" in no time.

She didn't want that to happen.

As she was lost in thought, she heard the sound of the door being opened with a card swipe.

Alice's head jerked up, her body stiffened, who could it be?

The next second, she saw a tall, dark figure walking in.

Adam's sharp gaze swept over the unconscious man on the bed and landed on Alice.

Alice stood up nervously, her back pressed against the wall.

Adam walked towards her, slowly and elegantly, like a dangerous predator.

Alice looked at the bed, the fallen lamp on the ground, and the neatly made bed, it didn't look like what had just happened.

She tried to make an excuse for herself, "We haven't started yet, he...he just fainted on his own..."

"Do you think I'll be satisfied with that?" Adam looked at her with a menacing tone.

"Can't we do something else? I'm willing to do anything for you, except for this..." Alice pleaded, "This is not suitable for me..."

Adam gave Alice a cold glance and then sat down on the edge of the bed. "Come here," he said.

Alice didn't understand, but she obediently went over. As soon as she got close, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, causing her to fall onto him.

"Ah!" she cried out.

He then grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him. "You satisfied me, and today's business is settled," he said.

Alice understood what he wanted to do and was so scared that her lips trembled.

At this moment, the boss on the bed began to stir. After all, he wasn't deeply unconscious.

He was about to prop himself up to see what was going on when a black gun was pressed against his temple, scaring him so much that he immediately lay back down and didn't dare move!

The boss turned his eyes and looked along the arm holding the gun, feeling intimidated. The wrist that was exposed had a men's watch worth fifty million, which was enough to make him hold his breath.

He didn't know what was going on at the moment...

Alice returned to her single apartment with unsteady steps in the middle of the night.

She walked into the bathroom, which was only big enough for one person, turned on the faucet, and washed her face with water.

Looking at herself in the mirror, with red eyes and a disheveled appearance, her hair that had been tied up was now loosely draped over her shoulder.

Alice comforted herself that at least she wasn't humiliated by the boss. Although Adam didn't go all the way with her, the humiliation was still enough to make her scalp tingle and difficult to understand.

She told herself again that she had already met Adam two years ago and there was no need to be so upset. She should think more about the children abroad... Only then did Alice feel a little better.First, Alice took a shower and made herself clean and tidy. Then she calculated the time and made a video call to Aunt Charlotte.

Aunt Charlotte was alarmed, "Are you okay, Alice?"

"I'm fine. I almost got caught, but luckily you acted quickly."

"I just heard a man's voice on the other end, and your voice didn't sound right. Based on what you told me before, don't tell anyone that you have children."

"Yes, that's right. How are the children? I want to see them..."

Seeing the little ones shaking like little penguins in the video, Alice's heart was healed again, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face...

The next day, Alice went to work as usual.

"Alice, someone is looking for you," the nurse told her.

Alice walked into the reception room and saw the person inside, but turned and walked away.

"Alice!" Ethan chased after her and grabbed her arm. "Don't go."

Alice pulled her arm back and turned her head to the side. "Don't come looking for me again."

"I'm just worried about you…""I knocked down Mr. Zhu with a desk lamp, he didn't touch me..." Alice said, the only person who touched her was Adam...

"That's good. When Adam attacked me and knocked me out, I didn't have a chance to save you. If something really happened, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Alice didn't expect him to care so much, but last night's events must have been a blow to him too.

"Don't come looking for me anymore." She said, turning around.

"Alice, do you remember when I said I would always protect you?" Ethan asked from behind.
