Alice did not dare to do anything bad to the children because she did not want to make the same mistake
Aura had and expose herself. Besides, she did not know if Joshua trusted her yet.
How dare Yvonne try to kidnap the two children!
“What are you afraid of?“ Yvonne pursed her lips. “ The people I hired are all from Sea City. They’re not
locals, and the number I used to contact them is an encrypted one. It’s impossible for anyone to track me
down. Besides, I didn’t even order for them to be killed, all Smith did was give them a little beating.“
“Hailey, why are you so cowardly, now that you’ve become Alice Gibson?“
Alice took in a deep breath. She was not cowardly; she was just being cautious!
“Get rid of everything you used to communicate with them and get out of there immediately! Go back to
Sea City. “Alice gripped the phone tightly. “Get out of there right this instant! “
Yvonne had been spoiled by Mr. Walter since young, and she did not know the danger of the situation
she was in. The Walters were a distinguished and well- respected family in Sea City, but this was not
Sea City. Joshua Lynch’s power in Banyan City was not to be underestimated!
On the other end of the line, Yvonne pursed her lips again. “Alice, why are you so worried? Nothing’s
going to happen…“Before she could finish, someone
knocked on her door frantically. “Sorry, Alice, I have to go now. Someone’s here.“
Yvonne put down the phone and went to open the door. She forgot to press the disconnect button, and
so Alice could clearly hear everything that was going on from her side.
Alice could hear Yvonne exclaim in shock, “Joshua… Joshua Lynch? What are you doing here?“
The door was slammed shut. After a long pause, Joshua’s voice rang out, “Why do you think I’m here,
Miss Walter?“
Alice immediately hung up the phone. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists in anger.
That idiot Yvonne!
Alice opened her eyes and furrowed her brows. Although she was furious, Alice knew that now was not
the time to be angry. She had to find a way of breaking Yvonne out. No matter what happened, she could
not let Yvonne fall into Joshua’s hands.
Yvonne had led a comfortable life since young, and therefore she had never experienced life or death
situations like this. If Joshua held her captive and interrogated her with violent means, there was no
doubt she would confess immediately.
Alice bit down on her bottom lip. After a moment, a familiar face appeared in her mind. She picked up the
phone again with trembling hands and dialed a number.
Swan Lake Residences.
Luna was busy applying ointment onto Neil’s wounds. Nellie was standing to one side, holding her
brother’s hand with red -rimmed eyes. “Thank you, Neil.”
Neil lifted his other hand and gently patted her head. “You’re my sister. Of course I should protect you.”
As soon as he said this, tears started welling up in Nellie’s eyes.
Luna sighed and was about to say something when her phone rang. It was not a number she
recognized.
She handed the ointment over to Nellie and turned around to pick up the phone. “Hello, who is this? “
“It’s Alice.”
Luna froze upon hearing this name. She snarled through gritted teeth, “Why are you calling? What do
you want?” “Luna, there has been a misunderstanding.” Alice let out a sigh. “I want to make a deal with
you.”
