Chapter 1372. Dead End 7
He handed one of the glasses to Doris. “Have a glass of warm water to warm yourself up.”
As Doris reached out to take it, she could not help but sigh softly. Soon, a mocking smile flashed across her pale face. “Who would have thought that I, Doris, of the royal bloodline, who should have been…would fall to this stage too?”
“Miss, perhaps things will take a turn for the better!” Glenn did not know how he should console her either. At this point, if they could escape safely, they would already be very fortunate.
Doris shook her head and laughed coldly. “Take a turn for the better? If things hadn’t gone wrong on Alex’s end, this could all still have been possible. Now, there’s no counting on them anymore. There’s no way my father will help intervene in this. Right now, I truly understand what it means to be up the creek without a paddle.”
“Mu Yuchen’s too cruel. He must’ve long known about your relationship with Mr. Alex. That’s why he’s taken this chance to outwit you! And the news of Zhou Zimo getting detained must’ve been fake. They did it on purpose! I remember that previously Su Chen and the Zhou family went over to New York for Zhou Zimo’s matter.”
At this point, Glenn was speaking through gritted teeth. “And the lockdown operation must’ve been Su Chen’s idea too. Shasha was too nice when she tried to give that woman a lesson! If it were me, I wouldn’t have let them off so easily!”
Glenn was beginning to lean towards the extreme now. After having experienced grace from Doris, he felt sorry for her. He was very loyal. If not, he probably would have run off by now based on the state of things.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. How are things outside?” Doris lowered her head to take a sip and asked in a lowered voice.
“I just got the news that the traffic police have suddenly been inspecting cars at every intersection. I think there’s no way for us to leave now. They must’ve expected for us to still be hiding in City Z, thus they’re inspecting so strictly. Also, I’m afraid it’s impossible for us to escape abroad by flight. Mr. Alex might have been able to arrange something for us, but now, clearly, that’s not possible anymore.”
