Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 215 We Finally Meet Once More (6)

Suddenly, Ethan thought of something-Pierce’s fingerprints on the agreements. He remembered that experts

claimed the fingerprints were recently imprinted on the documents. But he was well aware that Pierce was in

Cliaria. Thus, one would need to go to Cliaria to get those fingerprints, and Alice would definitely do it herself since

it was such an important thing.

Then, he recalled Alice’s disappearance at such a crucial time. His men had never found traces of her leaving

Rodcaster, and he believed that when he saw her leave Galerprises. However, now that he thought about it. Alice

had indeed left Rodcaster and been to Cliaria during those two days. The problem was that he needed help to

figure out how she managed to avoid his men and leave without a trace. Moreover, why couldn’t he find any clues

about her departure?!

On the other hand, Lawrence was surprised by Ethan’s confidence in saying that Alice was the mastermind behind

it all. He genuinely wondered if Ethan had been blinded by love. Lawrence liked Alice, but he had never considered

her capable of pulling such a power move. Moreover, not many people were capable of executing such a plan

flawlessly. When he first heard about the Wolands, he wanted to find ways to help her out but soon noticed that

there was nothing more he could do.

Thus, Lawrence didn’t feel that Alice could be the one behind this, at least not by herself. “Ethan, I think you might

not know Alice well. About the Woland Family…”

“Say, Dad, under what circumstances will one be able to leave Rodcaster and fly to Cliaria without any trace?”

Ethan really couldn’t figure it out.

“That’s not possible. If you want to fly to Cliaria from Rodcaster, you have to take the plane, and the airport will

surely have records of the individual’s trip. Plus, with your capability, you should be able to find where that person

would be going even if they were to take a private plane. There’s no way they could disappear out of thin air like

that.” Lawrence didn’t understand why Ethan had suddenly changed the topic.

A glint flashed across Ethan’s eyes. “But what if I can’t find anything?”

Once Lawrence saw that Ethan wasn’t fooling around, he started to analyze the situation. “If they didn’t board a

private plane, then there are only two circumstances. First, that person has never left Rodcaster in the first place.

Secondly, they managed to change their identity. However, the rules are strict nowadays, so you can’t leave with a

fake passport. Lawrence looked at him and added, “So, it’s highly likely that it’s the first situation.”

Does that mean Alice has used another identity to leave Rodcaster? Ethan frowned. But Dad’s right, though. The

airport has been very strict recently, so she won’t be able to get past the gate with a fake ID. Still, if she were to

leave with a different identity, that means the ID is legal. More importantly, the picture on the ID is truly herself.

This doesn’t make any sense. After all, no one can have two different IDs with the same face! Unless… She had

undergone plastic surgery. Yet, Alice has only left for two days, and she was still the same as ever when she

returned!

While Ethan was deep in thought, Lawrence saw him frowning and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you encounter some

trouble? Did some dangerous person escape without a trace?”

“It’s Alice.” Ethan looked at Lawrence. “A few days ago, she disappeared out of the blue. I searched for her high

and low for two days and found no trace of her leaving Rodcaster. But I am certain that she has indeed left and

gone to Cliaria.”

“Alice” Lawrence blinked in confusion.

“How do you think she did it? Ethan demanded as he turned to Lawrence.

Lawrence burst out laughing and replied, “That’ll only happen if she turns into a bird.” He didn’t mean to joke at a

time like this, but what Ethan was implying was insane.

Ethan’s eyes darkened when he heard Lawrence’s answer. After all, he merely decided to throw the question to

Lawrence since he didn’t know the answer. Yet, it seemed that Lawrence was equally in the dark about this.

“I think you might be overthinking it, Ethan. Alice is just a normal girl. Don’t think of her like those rivals of yours.”

Lawrence felt that Ethan’s imaginations were absurd. “I know you are anxious since you can’t find her. It’s normal,

so you don’t need to overthink it. We need to be realistic and stop making excuses. Maybe it’s because you didn’t

look for her hard enough, Lawrence intoned thoughtfully.

Ethan glanced at Lawrence and said nothing. After all, he himself had no idea what was driving him to think this

way, so there was no way he could explain his thoughts to someone else.

“Calm down, Ethan. Just relax,” Lawrence said earnestly.

Nevertheless, Ethan ignored him and instructed the driver. “Stop the car at the front.”

“You can’t just run away from your problems, Ethan. You have to face it.” Lawrence felt Ethan had gotten himself

bent out of shape and was pursuing a dead end. He wondered if Ethan had placed himself under pressure since he

couldn’t find Alice. Thus, he suggested carefully, I’m planning on meeting Tanner. Do you want to tag along? After

all, you guys might have some things to discuss since you are both youngsters.”

“Are you sure about that?” Ethan shot a bland look at Lawrence.

Lawrence didn’t say anything. After all, he knew Ethan like the back of his hand. Considering how reserved and

quiet Ethan was, he barely had any connections with anyone within his social circle.

Just come with me. It won’t take long. Plus, not only did Alice stay in Cliaria for some time, Tanner did too. Didn’t she

say that she knew him? Who knows? Maybe you might be able to find some clues if you visit him.” Lawrence was

trying his best to persuade Ethan to tag along.

Initially, Ethan had no intention of accompanying Lawrence. But he changed his mind the moment he heard that

Alice was familiar with Tanner. “Alright. I’ll go.”

“Excellent. I’m certain that things will surely go well now that I have you coming along.” Lawrence knew how

capable Ethan was. Although he was a man with few words, he would always get what he wanted. Otherwise,

Lawrence wouldn’t have persuaded him into meeting Tanner in the first place.

Lawrence suddenly felt an idea forming in his mind and decided to toss this matter to Ethan instead. Besides, he

was ready to retire at any time now that Ethan was an adult. So, he mused, “Since you’ll be tagging along, why

don’t you take over the reins for today’s discussion?”
