Jalen walked in with large strides. He happened to meet Elaina’s gaze. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice full of worry.
Elaina was surprised. She asked uncertainly, “Are you here for me?”
“What else?” Jalen’s face darkened. “Do you think I came here for a vacation?”
Elaina smiled awkwardly. She did not know how to describe her feelings. She did not expect that the first person to come to her when she was in trouble was Jalen. It was ironic.
“How are you? What happened?” He walked over to Elaina and asked about what had happened.
Elaina shook her head. To be honest, she was also confused. “Nothing.”
“Nothing?” Jalen frowned.
Elaina nodded. She knew that Jalen had the same doubts in his heart. She was kidnapped but nothing happened to her. The kidnapper just left her in the hotel and let Jalen find her. What was the point?
At this moment, Jalen saw the blood on the ground. He looked at Elaina nervously. “Are you injured?”
“It’s not my blood.” Elaina shook her head and looked at the bedroom.
Jalen also looked over. After they exchanged glances, they entered the bedroom together.
The curtains of the bedroom were closed, and they could not see anything.
Jalen walked to the window and opened the curtains. When he turned around, he saw
Elaina standing where she was with panic that he had never seen before in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Jalen walked over.
Elaina did not answer him. At this moment, Jalen saw everything on the bed.
On the big bed was a familiar person lying there. He was naked and lay there like a dead body.
Jalen felt that the person on the bed wasn’t unconscious but dead.
A dagger was in his chest, and blood dyed the bed red. In this case, this person could not be alive.
“Is he dead?” After a long time, Elaina came back to her senses and tried to keep herself calm.
Jalen walked over to check his breath and shook his head at Elaina. “He’s gone.”
Even Elaina, who was mentally prepared, could not help but take two steps back.
The person lying on the bed was Marcus, whom she hated very much. She wanted him to spend the rest of his life in prison, but when he died in front of her, she could not accept it.
It was not that she felt sorry for him but that she wanted him to be punished by laws. No one had the right to kill him.
Elaina was deep in thought while Jalen was keenly aware that things were not simple. He turned to Elaina and said, “You and Marcus are in the same room, and he died here. There must be a problem.
“Leave and don’t let others notice you.”
Elaina came back to her senses and understood what Jalen meant. She thought about it and understood the plot.
Someone wanted to frame her!
Thinking about this, Elaina felt relaxed. What she was afraid of was not knowing the enemy’s purpose. Now that she knew it, things got easier.
“It doesn’t matter. I want to see who is willing to sacrifice his life to frame me.” Her eyes turned cold. No matter how much of a jerk Marcus was, it was a life..
“Don’t be willful. If you stay here…”
“Jalen, I am not a child. I do not need your protection.” Elaina interrupted Jalen and looked at him firmly.
Jalen was stunned and seemed to understand something.
Elaina was different from other women. Those women needed and wanted Jalen’s protection. But Elaina did not need it. She could always handle everything well.
