“What if I don’t?!” Alex shouted, striding to the edge and stepping on one of the sacks.

Hearing the muffled sounds of struggle coming from the sack, Winnie knew Quinlee was inside. Winnie rushed forward, but Alex firmly stomped on the sack, causing the person inside to writhe painfully near the edge of the rocks, and pinned it down again.
Winnie’s face turned pale, and she froze in place, too scared to move forward. She had no choice but to ask Ellie for help. “Ellie, say something!”
Ellie stood still, hesitating and not saying a word. It seemed Alex hadn’t gotten anything out of it. If he had even a tiny bit of evidence, he would’ve made his move a long time ago.
Besides, Ellie and the Owens family were enemies. She never liked Quinlee, who was always stirring up trouble with her two–faced behavior. If Quinlee really had something shady going on with Ethan, stopping Alex wouldn’t benefit her at all.
Winnie, seeing that Ellie wasn’t saying anything, reluctantly called Diana again. When Ellie got Diana’s call, she unwillingly nodded. After hanging up, she walked over to Alex.
Alex stood silently on the rock, watching as Ellie walked towards him slowly. Alex said, “Did Diana ask you to come?*
Ellie nodded.

Alex casually tugged at muttered a curse quietly. “I can let them go, but I have something to discuss with you!”
Alex stared intensely at Ellie. Seeing that Ellie didn’t speak, Alex assumed she agreed. He pushed the person beneath him away with his foot and signaled to Barry, who then released the person.
“Thank you, Mr. Warren, for your generosity,” Patrick said to Alex politely, and then instructed others to take the severely injured to the helicopter.
Alex brought Quinlee and Ethan here in broad daylight and used his own methods to question them–there had to be a reason. Patrick and Winnie understood this, so when they saw Quinlee covered in bruises, they didn’t immediately react.
From a distance, Ellie watched as the Grant family loaded Quinlee and Ethan onto the helicopter, and then she turned and walked away.
“Let me take you back!” Alex stopped Ellie in her tracks.
Ellie glanced at Alex’s arm stretched out in front of her, and then moved around him and kept going.
“Don’t you want to know why I kidnapped those two?!”
Hearing Alex’s voice, Ellie kept walking. She wouldn’t have come to see him if Diana hadn’t called for help in the middle of the night. Whoever he wanted to kidnap was none of her concern.
“Don’t you want to know who’s been following and scaring you?!” Alex shouted behind her again.
Thinking about the person who had been following her and that bloody package she received at the hospital, Ellie couldn’t help but stop.
“Thank goodness you are here tonight.” Winnie approached Ellie and asked if she wanted to head back now.
Ellie reminded Winnie, “No one stays the same forever. Quinlee has been away from the Janssen family for so many years. You really don’t know what she’s gone through during that time, right?”

There was no smoke without fire. The Grant family was smart, and even if Alex were to let it go, they would definitely get to the bottom of it. Winnie first frowned, and then nodded in agreement.
“Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Thompson. I will definitely find out the truth. If it’s Quinlee’s fault, I’ll personally apologize and compensate Mr. Warren, but if it’s Mr. Warren’s mistake, I’ll be sure to stand up for her!” Winnie said and then left first.
It wasn’t until the Grant family’s helicopter rose into the sky that Ellie calmly looked away. She turned her head slightly to look at Alex, who was standing right next to her. Alex happened to look back just in time to catch her gaze.
