Chapter 267
Smith took a breath of pain, but still did not fight back and let Karl beat him.
Peter also rushed over at this time, he grabbed Karl’s arm: “Karl, calm down!”
Karl had completely lost his reason at this time, and he could not hear Peter’s words, and even beat Peter with him.
Peter’s family used to be on the road. Peter was good at it, but he couldn’t stand Karl who had lost his reason.
In the end, the two of them were so tired that they lay directly in the scorched ashes.
When the two were fighting, they were not stopped by Smith, but he searched the villa inside and outside with someone.
As expected, there is no trace.
The fire was very clean.
Smith walked to Karl’s side, and his voice was a little low and hoarse: “I didn’t find Madam.”
Smith finished speaking and was ready to be beaten.
But the fist as expected did not fall.
Karl didn’t react at all after hearing his words, but stared at the scorched ceiling motionlessly, as if he hadn’t heard Smith’s words.
Smith turned around to see Peter.
Peter stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his lips, and spit out blood in the ash pile beside him rudely: “Leave him alone, let him go crazy, damn, I can’t get up anymore. Help me all the time. Let me…”
Smith walked over to help Peter up.
Peter shook-his body stood still.
Karl had just executed a cruel hand. If he hadn’t practiced before, and could still fight against Karl, he would have been in the emergency room just now.
Involved in the injury, Peter took a breath, and leaned to Smith to whisper: “Let your Sir calm down and leave him alone.”
Although Smith was a little worried, she nodded.
Peter was helped by Smith and saw a reporter who was doing a live interview with his back to the burnt villa.
Peter quickly took a detour and got into the car from the other side.
But Smith had no such good luck.
The reporters saw Smith with sharp eyes and gathered around.
“Are you a subordinate of Mr. Adams? Is Mrs. Hunt still inside? Did she commit suicide in fear of sin?”
“I just saw Mr. Adams enter, what is he doing inside and when will he come out?”
“I heard that Mrs. Hunt received a court summons today. She chose to commit suicide today. Does it prove that she really pushed Mr. Adams down the stairs?”
“…”
The reporter’s questions all revolved around Alyssa, one more acute than the other.
Smith only said coldly: “No comment.”
Afterward, bodyguards came to chase the reporter away.
…
In a shabby noodle restaurant in a village in the city north of Rostenvel City.
Alyssa was sitting at the dining table with a bowl of steaming egg noodles in front of her. She raised her eyes to watch the news being broadcast on the TV.
“At noon today, a fire broke out in a villa on the mountainside in this city. According to reliable sources, this villa is the house of Karl, the heir of the Adams’ family…”
Then the screen changed, and it was the reporter’s report on the scene of the villa.
Following the camera, Alyssa saw that the once glamorous and luxurious villa had become a ruin.
Smith’s figure appeared in the lens.
Always in a suit and leather shoes, in the camera is also a gray-headed and embarrassed look.
Alyssa thought, it was probably because she took people to the villa to find her that she looked like this.
Allowing the reporter to ask sharp questions, Smith just said indifferently and calmly: “No comment.”
None of Karl’s people are as good, and Smith is not just a simple special assistant, his ability is far better than being a special assistant.
The owner of the noodle shop is a middle-aged man.
Seeing that Alyssa was watching the news, she also set aside and said twice, “This rich man, there are many right and wrongs. I heard that the girl is only in her early twenties? My daughter who goes to college is also at this age, alas, What a pity…”
Hearing the words, Alyssa stretched out her hand to lower the brim of the peaked cap for a few minutes, picked up the chopsticks and started eating noodles.
He said casually: “I see someone above said that the woman committed suicide in fear of sin.”
The boss took the conversation naturally: “How serious is it to commit suicide? Are you talking about Mr. Adams? I heard that Mr. Adams didn’t die. How many years will she be sentenced for this situation?”
Alyssa took a bite of noodles, stirred the noodles and said, “That’s not necessarily true. What if the Adams’ family thinks that keeping her locked up for a few years won’t calm the anger? In addition, Karl is so powerful. The result is not a word from Adams’ family?”
“It won’t be so cruel, anyway, it’s also the daughter-in-law of Mr. Adams…”
Alyssa laughed and stopped talking.
She finished eating the noodles and took out a box from her bag.
It was Karl’s baby, who was terribly involved, the box with the pen locked in the drawer.
She seldom saw Karl being attached to such a precious thing. When she went upstairs to pour gasoline, she thought about it and still couldn’t bear it, so she took it out.
The password of the sword locker was also very simple, it was Karl’s birthday, she opened it after one try.
Alyssa smiled and handed the money to the boss: “Boss, collect the money.”
The boss took the money: “Hey, waiting for me to find you money.”
Next to the noodle shop is just the place where the express is sent.
Alyssa took the box and walked over: “Send express.”
The small door was full of express delivery, and the boss didn’t look up: “Where to send it?”
Alyssa said slowly: “In the same city, AdamPic Media.”
“Ten.” The boss looked at the things in Alyssa’s hand and handed her a courier note.
Alyssa packed the box, wrote Peter in the recipient’s column, and added the two letters “XN” at the end.
The letters are small and not very eye-catching.
She set a fire to burn the villa, not to create the illusion of suicide, but to escape.
Karl was so smart, naturally he would not think that she was dead like those outsiders.
Therefore, she has nothing to hide.
It’s just that afterwards, it will take some time to hide from Karl.
Karl would definitely send someone to find her.
And the case of Mr. Adams will be temporarily shelved because of the fire that left her unclear.
Everything can be carried out in an orderly manner, all in the plan.
just……
Alyssa reached out and touched her belly.
This child is an existence that disrupts her plan.
The months are still small now, and she doesn’t see anything if she wear thick winter clothes.
After a few months, the month gets older and it is not convenient to do anything.
What she had to do now was to leave Rostenvel, so that Karl could not find her.
She is not sure that she can escape Karl’s search, but since she has already taken the first step, there is no room for turning back.
Chapter 268
Rostenvel City is an international metropolis, and it can be regarded as a big city in the country.
For the average person, to find someone in Rostenvel is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Karl was different. He was powerful and he was not short of manpower and financial resources.
If he wants to find Alyssa, it’s simple and easy.
She cannot use her mobile phone, nor can she stay in a hotel.
So she can only find a small hotel that is not very formal and does not even need to register for an ID card.
The hotel was damp and gloomy, the white sheets on the bed were white and yellow, and the bathroom was full of dark stains.
Alyssa lay on the bed without taking off her clothes.
The soundproofing effect of the room is almost zero, and outside is the sound of noisy pedestrians and the horns of various vehicles.
On the first night after leaving Karl, Alyssa suffered from insomnia.
When she was groggy and about to fall asleep, there was always the illusion that Karl would bring someone in the next second, and then remained in this half-awake and half-sleep state until dawn.
Sleeping is more tiring than not sleeping.
To make matters worse, there is no hot water in the bathroom in the morning.
Alyssa gritted her teeth and washed her face with cold water. After packing her things, she checked out and left.
She can’t stay in the same place for too long.
She couldn’t know what kind of person Karl was.
After leaving the hotel, Alyssa went directly to the bus station.
This area is close to the suburbs. It was originally a small town close to Rostenvel City. Later, City expanded and the town was merged. However, there has been little planning and construction, so many things are not formal.
There is a bus station not far from the hotel, where you don’t need to show your ID card to buy a ticket. She knew about it when she came here yesterday.
Alyssa stood on the side of the road, waiting for the traffic light, suddenly stretched out a hand behind her to pat her shoulder, and cried out uncertainly: “Alyssa?”
Alyssa was stiff, was she going to be captured by Karl so soon?
The person who patted her on the shoulder walked up to her, turned his head slightly to look at her, and said with a look of surprise: “It’s really you!”
Alyssa saw the person in front of her clearly, and was stunned: “Mattie, why are you here?”
After Mattie left last time, except for Alyssa who contacted her once, this was the first time the two met.
Alyssa’s current situation is complicated, she squinted at Mattie for a few seconds, then looked around vigilantly.
Karl’s villa was burned by a big fire, and Mattie naturally knew that it was reported in the news.
Seeing Alyssa’s look wary, Mattie raised her chin slightly, her expression looked a bit arrogant, but she explained aloud: “Recently, the crew is preparing a new drama. I will step on a spot to see how it looks like.”
In the domestic crew, the producer is the one who has the most right to speak, and all affairs are under the control of the producer.
“It’s okay, I’ll go first.” Alyssa felt that it was not a good thing to meet Mattie at this time.
But Mattie stopped her: “Find a place to sit down and talk. You said that the one who sent me the script has not sent it to me.”
Alyssa directly refused: “There is no time.”
Mattie was silent for a few seconds, and said, “Don’t be afraid that I will leak your whereabouts. I’m busy.”
Alyssa thought for a while, but nodded.
There was no decent cafe nearby, and the two could only find a milk tea shop.
Mattie ordered two cups of hot milk tea and pushed one of them to Alyssa.
“Thank you.” Alyssa brought the straw to her lips and took a sip.
Mattie looked at Alyssa seriously for a few seconds: “Unexpectedly, you don’t seem to be embarrassed at all. During this period of time, there are frequent accidents in the Adams’ family, and the city is full of storms. It is all about you.”
Alyssa looked up at her: “Are you disappointed?”
Mattie smiled indifferently: “A little bit, let me see the script.”
Hearing this, Alyssa turned on the computer and handed it to Mattie.
Alyssa writes suspenseful reasoning, but it also contains a little romance.
This type has a large domestic market.
Mattie’s father is the director of a TV station. Since childhood, she has been in contact with celebrities and celebrity directors. Under the influence of ears and eyes, she has a professional vision.
She flicked the mouse casually and glanced at the whole article, and then began to read the first section.
At this look, she couldn’t stop, even her eyes were shining.
Alyssa knew that Mattie fell in love with her script.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, she pressed the notebook down and brought it to her.
Mattie stood up anxiously: “Eh, let me see a little more!”
Alyssa’s hand pressed-on the notebook, her face calmly said: “I am in a hurry to spend money now, you will make a price.”
Mattie stretched out a hand: “Five hundred thousand.”
Alyssa just tried casually, but Mattie actually offered a price.
She remembered the last time Mattie just said to help her match up.
Mattie has a production team in her hand, and she directly offered the price, which shows that she is optimistic about Alyssa’s script and wants to shoot it herself.
In business.
Alyssa is really in urgent need of money, but it is impossible to really believe Mattie’s price.
After pondering for a moment, Alyssa said: “One price, one million! I want the right to sign.”
“You can only make a web drama at most for this script. You still want one million. Why don’t you grab it!” Although Mattie is optimistic about Alyssa’s script, she thinks Alyssa is a newcomer after all, she buys Alyssa’s script still has to take risks.
Alyssa said decisively: “You know my situation, I am eager to spend money, do you want a word.”
It is natural to bargain to do business, and one million is nothing to Mattie.
As long as Mattie wanted it, she would definitely pay for it.
Mattie bit her lip, and did not immediately answer Alyssa.
Alyssa took a look at the time, and she had a hunch in her heart that Karl might find her soon.
She stood up and said, “If you don’t want me, you will leave. You also know that Karl is looking for me everywhere now.”
Mattie gritted her teeth and said: “Okay, deal!”
Her expression looked a little painful, but she was obviously reluctant to bear the script.
Alyssa smiled, and sent the script to Mattie’s mailbox online.
Mattie took out a card from her wallet and handed it to Alyssa: “There is one million in this card, the code is 973210”
Alyssa took the bank card and put the computer into her backpack: “Remember to make up a contract and send it to me.”
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Mattie’s reaction, she left with her bag on her back.
When she walked to the door, she looked back at Mattie, her lips curled up with a successful arc.
She did not send the entire content of the script to Mattie, only half of it.
For the screenwriter, the right to sign is very important. She and Mattie are only verbally agreeing now, but if Mattie doesn’t sign her in the end, wouldn’t she be at loss?
Be careful, it’s always true.
