Derek was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Then, he realized there was a more important question. “That’s weird. How can a woman hold you
down? Or should I ask, in what kind of situation can a woman hold you down? This happened in the
hotel, so did she do it on the bed?”
He didn’t need them to answer him at all and came to a conclusion by himself. “So, that woman slept
with you, handcuffed you to the bed, and ran away.” His logical reasoning was undoubtedly excellent.
“Just do the fingerprint comparison, and make it quick. Mr. Jenkins, you get the fingerprint, and I’ll find
a way to get Miss Woland and Emma’s fingerprints.” Caleb felt that if Derek continued to talk about
that, the Knight Family would probably start killing him to silence the man, so he quickly diverted the
topic.
“Look into Alice,” Ethan added. It was obvious that he was talking to Caleb since he had already asked
Derek to do so before this, but he was asking Caleb to do the same thing. This showed that the
situation was much different than before.
“How far should I look into her?” Caleb wasn’t surprised about Mr. Knight’s order at all, but he just didn’t
know how much the man wanted him to look into.
After a moment of silence, Ethan answered, “From her birth.”
At that moment, he recalled Leah’s description of Alice. If the one who ran away from his room was
really Alice, it meant that the Woland Family had definitely hidden many things about her on purpose,
so he needed to look for suspicious traces in her daily life.
Hearing that, Caleb was stunned. Seriously? From her birth? Is he mad? But this shows how much he
cares about Miss Woland. If the person who slept with Mr. Knight really is her… Will we be getting a
Mrs. Knight very soon?!
On the other hand, Alice had no idea about Mr. Knight sending people out to look into her background.

some time.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the house, she could see Pierce pacing anxiously in front of it.
“Pierce.” Alice finally loosened up a little, and she sounded like she was going to cry. She really had
been through so much tonight.
Pierce looked at her and was stunned for two seconds before dashing over. “What happened? Why did
you make yourself look like Emma?”
He had gone on a business trip several days ago, but since it was Alice’s birthday yesterday, he
booked a flight ticket to come back. In fact, he could’ve been back before 5.00PM the day before, but
his flight was delayed because of the weather, and he didn’t know when it would take off.
In the end, he drove back by himself, but his car had some minor problems on the way back. By the
time he arrived at Rodcaster, it was already 1.00AM.
Alice’s birthday party had already ended, but Alice was not home yet, and he couldn’t reach her on the
phone, so it made him very anxious.
When Alice recalled yesterday and put everything together slowly, she could already figure out what
was going on.
“Grandma was the one who wanted to hold my birthday party yesterday. All the guests were invited by
Grandma and Uncle Elijah, whereas Dad and Mom knew nothing about it. Since all of the guests had
been invited, they couldn’t cancel the party.”
She continued, “Grandma said she had arranged for everything related to the party and told Dad and
Mom not to worry. She just didn’t want them to be involved.”
Alice added, “At around 8.00PM, Grandma suddenly said that she wasn’t feeling well, and she asked
Dad and Mom to bring her to the hospital. Of course, they couldn’t say no. Meanwhile, I couldn’t leave
with them since I was the star of the party.”
“Around 30 minutes after they left, my body started to feel weird. I didn’t think much about it at that time
because I was already very careful. After Dad and Mom left, I didn’t drink or eat anything.”
“Then, I saw Emma sneaking out to make a call, so I followed behind her and saw her bringing a few
men in. I even heard her mentioning my name to those men and asking them to think of a way to bring
me up to a room.”
“I realized the severity of this problem at that moment, but I was feeling so uncomfortable. This was
when I recalled grandma asking Dad, Mom, and I to toast to her. I drank something at that time, so I
was probably drugged then.”
“I know Uncle Elijah and Aunt Bethany are definitely part of this. They pulled Dad and Mom away from
the scene, so I had no one to help me at that time. I could only help myself. As such, I took Emma’s
bag and hid inside the washroom to make myself look like her. I wanted to pretend to be her to
escape.”
When Alice was ten years old, her grandfather, Howard Glenn, took her to the Maches’ mountain
village. There was a descendant of the legendary disguising technique in the village.
Howard had saved that person before, so he promised to teach Alice for a year. As for how much she
could absorb, it all depended on her.
That person had three apprentices previously. The fastest apprentice took 12 years to master the skill,
while the slowest took 40 years and was still learning. It was obvious that the person was just brushing
Howard off.
Yet, Alice used one year to master everything. She even mastered the best technique that he kept for
himself just in case he would lose his job if his student mastered it.
If Alice had the intention, she could disguise herself as a man, let alone Emma.
She only recalled that she disguised herself as Emma after she left the gas station in a taxi.
“I remember coming out of the washroom and bumping into two of Emma’s men as well as Uncle
Elijah, but they didn’t recognize me. They took me as Emma and didn’t get in my way, so I escaped
from the banquet hall successfully. Then, I saw Aunt Bethany waiting for me downstairs, so I didn’t dare
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgo down. When I entered the elevator, I felt that I was going to lose my consciousness. I could only
remember pressing a floor button at that time, but I don’t remember which floor it was. I can’t recall
anything after that. When I woke up, I found myself on a bed with a man. I’m not sure if he was part of
the arrangement, so I tried my best to escape from there. In fact, he nearly caught me.”
When Pierce heard that, his face turned dark, and his eyes were bloodshot. How could they do that?
How could they?
They ate, lived, and used everything in his house, but they actually dared to plot against his little sister.
She was the precious baby that he and his parents protected so dearly, afraid that she would get hurt,
but how could those people dare to do such a thing?
At this moment, Pierce was filled with resentment. He hated them so much that he was grinding his
teeth and wanted to kill them, but he was afraid that he would scare his little sister, so he said in a
gentle tone, “It’s okay, Alice. Go back to your room and take a rest. Let me handle everything else.”
They dare to hurt Alice? I won’t spare any of them. No matter who they are, I’m going to make them
pay.
Alice said that she woke up on the bed with a man and was nearly caught by him when she ran away.
He bullied my sister and still f*cking dared to touch her? Who gave him the guts to do so?!
After he settled Alice down, he was going to find that man to pick a bone with him. I’m not Pierce
Woland if I don’t make him disabled.
Meanwhile, Alice went back to her room. She had been through too much tonight, dealing with that
man in the hotel room for so long. Now that she was finally home and with her brother beside her, she
could finally let her guard down. When she was relaxed, she was swallowed by exhaustion, so she
went to sleep not long after.
Pierce waited for Alice to go to sleep before driving straight to the Magnificent Hotel. Which b*stard
dares to bully my sister? Just wait there and see.
He drove very fast, so he reached the Magnificent Hotel within 20 minutes.
When he entered the hotel, he just so happened to come across a man who was walking out of the
hotel.
He looked at the man and was stunned.
