Chapter 152
In the grocery store, Elaina, Jalen, and Theodore were very eye-catching when they stood together. They were very good-looking, not to mention that the three of them were not ordinary people.
Fortunately, the surveillance video of the hotel had been restored and spread online. It could be clearly seen that Elaina was knocked out and brought into the room. This proved Elaina’s innocence.
At present, the police had put all their attention on investigating the strong men who took Elaina to the hotel. Elaina and the other two people believed that there would be results soon.
“What do you want to eat, Ella?” Theodore ignored the gazes of the crowd and looked at Elaina, who was beside him. It looked like Theodore could only see Elaina in his eyes.
However, Elaina did not like the feeling of being stared at. She took out a mask from her bag and put it on. “I’m not picky. Theodore, just cook whatever you like.”
“Alright. Then I’ll listen to you and cook whatever I like,” Theodore said. Elaina nodded. “Sure.”
Jalen stood at the side and did not express any opinion. Theodore did not ask what Jalen wanted to eat. But Jalen did not mind it. Jalen knew that Theodore did not want to treat him to a meal at all.
But so what? Jalen would not leave anyway.
“Does your arm still hurt?” Elaina suddenly turned to look at Jalen and pursed her lips, thinking something.
Jalen shook his head. “It’s fine. You don’t have to worry.”
“I’m not worried! I just don’t want to owe you.” Elaina disliked owing favors the most. It was difficult to return a favor. She would rather be the one who was injured.
Jalen said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything for me. I did it voluntarily. You don’t have to feel burdened.”
Elaina thought, your words make me feel very burdened.
Forget it. I can’t do anything for Jalen. It’s better to visit Jalen’s grandfather another day.
Anyway, they are family. It’s equivalent to returning Jalen’s favor by treating his grandfather well, right?
Jalen did not know what Elaina was thinking. He suddenly frowned and swept his sharp gaze around. He felt that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong?” Elaina naturally noticed Jalen’s behavior. She followed Jalen to look around, but she did not find anything strange.
Jalen shook his head and said, “It seems that there are people who are looking at us with ill intentions.”
Elaina suddenly became serious. After what happened in the morning, she knew that there were many people in the world who were unreasonable. Elaina felt that it would be useless even if she had put the hotel’s surveillance video online.
Those unreasonable people would probably think that even if Elaina was knocked out and brought into the room, it still couldn’t prove that Elaina was not the one who killed Marcus.
“Where? I did not see anyone,” Elaina asked in a low voice.
Jalen frowned and said, “There is one in red on the right in front of us, two in black behind us, and two in blue on the left. They look very suspicious.”
In fact, in addition to those few people, there were another few suspicious men. But because Jalen was not sure and did not want Elaina to be afraid, he did not say it.
Jalen took out his phone and sent a message to Graham, asking him to bring some people over.
Regardless of whether there were any problems with those people, Jalen decided to take them all away and ask them for details. He did not want what happened in the morning to happen again.
Those people dared to splash boiled water in the morning. They might dare to splash sulfuric acid now. If they really did that, the consequences would be very serious.
Elaina was still observing the people that Jalen mentioned. She was not as sensitive as Jalen. She ‘could only feel that they were peeking at her. But those people’s gazes were not very obvious.
However, Elaina did not let her guard down. She knew in her heart that if Jalen felt that there was something wrong, there was a high chance that there was really something wrong.
