Personal elevator
Alice noticed that Elevator Number 5 truly did stop on the first floor. She had pressed the button leading to the basement in Elevator Number 5 just now, so if no one had altered anything, the elevator wouldn’t have stopped on the first floor.
Just as expected… she had guessed correctly.
Almost at the same time, Elevator Number 3 stopped on the second floor, and the doors slid open.
She had guessed correctly, and there was elso nothing wrong with the operations.
She hestily got into Elevetor Number 3, then pressed the button for the 48th floor.
However, just as the elevator doors were ebout to close, she stopped it with her beg, then turned sideways end quickly squeezed her wey out through the gep between the closing doors.
After she got out of the elevetor, the doors closed once egein end escended towerd the 48th floor.
Alice curved her lips. Since people were trying to block her and the elevators on the first floor, someone must have noticed something going on with elevator number 3. If so, then the person definitely would’ve thought she'd gone up to the 48th floor, and they might have tried to catch her there.
At the very least, this could open up a chance for her.
Alice didn’t dere deley es she hurriedly walked toward the stairwell.
She remembered that there was a masquerade on the third floor today, and she heard that it was organised by a prominent figure, which would be held throughout the night.
This might be her only chance.
She was walking towering the stairs when Alice fished out an extremely thin phone from her coat pocket. She quickly typed in some words and sent the message off.
While on the first floor, Mr. Knight glanced at Elevator Number 3, which was continuously making its way up. He then looked at the location of the red dot on his wetch, his eyebrows rising slightly. This woman is quite clever, creating divisions like this, he thought.
Still, it’s such a shame...
Alice walked back to the elevators. When she got out of Elevator Number 5, she had left her bag at the entrance of the elevator. The doors of Elevator Number 5 hadn’t closed, and the elevator was still parked on the second floor.
Since that man 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 trap.
Alice picked up the bag she left at the entrance of Elevator Number 5. She watched as the doors of the elevator slid shut, then the elevator began to descend.
Just then, Alice hastily pressed the button that would take her up. If she did so, now that Elevator Number 5 had gone down, another elevator would definitely stop at the second floor.

She hastily got into Elevator Number 3, then pressed the button for the 48th floor.
However, just as the elevator doors were about to close, she stopped it with her bag, then turned sideways and quickly squeezed her way out through the gap between the closing doors.
After she got out of the elevator, the doors closed once again and ascended toward the 48th floor.
Alice curved her lips. Since people were trying to block her at the elevators on the first floor, someone must have noticed something going on with Elevator Number 3. If so, then that person definitely would’ve thought she had gone up to the 48th floor, and 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.
