Marry A Hidden Billionaire By Rosalind Stevenson

Chapter 269

Alice finished filming the advertisements with Josh. She originally planned to extend their stay a few

more days, but William’s agent approached her.

She could only buy a plane ticket and return with them first.

Before boarding the plane, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Daniel.

“Hello, Daniel. Is something the matter?” Her tone lacked warmth.

An indescribable melancholy flashed across Daniel’s eyes. “Well, did the advertisement go smoothly?”

“It went quite smoothly. Josh and I are boarding the plane in about half an hour.”

“Are you returning to the country?” There was a pause on the other end, and Daniel continued, “I’ll be

on my way to the airport now to pick you up.”

“Now? It’s not necessary. We’ll be flying for nearly ten hours. You don’t need to wait at the airport so

early…”

“It’s not too early. I’m willing to wait as long as it takes. There’s a call I must answer. Let Josh take good

care of you. I’ll see you in ten hours.”

Before Alice could say anything, Daniel had already hung up the phone.

Alice couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong with his tone today. She was about to ask

further when Johnny called.

“Still in Newham?” Johnny’s tone was evidently complex.

“Just half an hour away from boarding,” Alice replied.

“So, you’re returning to the country?” Johnny heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at one place with a

complicated expression and then said, “What time will you land?”

“Ten hours from now.”

“Alright, I’ll get ready and head to the airport to wait for you. We’ll talk more when we meet.”

“What? You’re coming to the airport to wait for me?” Did something serious happen at Lonrid?

Why would Johnny also be waiting for her at the airport?

“Yes, my dear sister is returning to the country. As her brother, I must personally welcome her.”

“Why do I feel like you’re setting up a grand banquet for me?”

“You’re overthinking. I’m not.” As he spoke, Johnny lit a cigarette. “Alice, just remember that I’ll be

waiting for you.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Alice stared blankly at the tarmac.

“What happened? You received two calls, and your expression seemed grave,” Josh leaned over and

asked curiously.

Alice rubbed her chin and thoughtfully replied, “I don’t know why, but my brother and Daniel want to

come to the airport to meet us. I have a feeling that something significant must have happened.”

“Did they fight? Johnny never really liked Daniel.” Josh felt that it was possible.

Alice was stunned. She was reminded that the two of them had just undergone surgeries. “If they really

fought, do they even care about their health anymore?”

“I doubt they’d go as far as fighting each other to death. Daniel wouldn’t dare, and your brother wouldn’t

either. But I reckon there are internal injuries.

After Alice heard Josh’s analysis, she became increasingly worried.

Despite Johnny’s tough exterior, he actually doted on her a lot.

Knowing that Daniel had lied to her, Johnny was probably furious and itching for a fight.

While she was away, they must have clashed at least twice, right?

Thinking about their well-being, Alice wished the plane would land faster.

Ten hours later.

As he watched a plane descend from above, Dax sighed in relief. Perfect, Alice had finally returned.

The real boss was back.

Their troubles could be resolved soon.

“I’ll handle this when they arrive,” Johnny said, glaring at Daniel.

Daniel nodded with a complicated expression.

The fact that this matter had alarmed Johnny indicated that it was quite serious.

Upon disembarking the plane, Alice immediately unlocked her phone and called Daniel and Johnny.

Ensuring both the guys were present and their voices weren’t too weak, she could let go of half her

anxieties.

“Daniel, Johnny, over here!” Alice emerged from the VIP area and walked straight toward the two men.

However, at this moment, Johnny’s gaze was as cold as ice.

His sister called Daniel first before him.

Different sequences meant different statuses!

Seeing Johnny’s dark expression, Alice naturally assumed that the two of them had fought.

After scrutinizing Daniel to ensure he was fine, she immediately approached Johnny before grabbing

him and meticulously checking his face. She then patted his chest to make sure he had no internal

injuries.

“Don’t worry. I won’t beat up your husband.” Johnny’s jealousy was obvious.

The corner of Alice’s mouth twitched. She shook his head and said, “It’s good that you didn’t fight.”

“It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s get in the car first.” Noticing the papara zzi lurking not far away,

Ray immediately

reminded them.

Hence, they quickly left the airport and entered the extended Lincoln’ of the Kaur family.

Sitting in the car, Alice continued observing the two men. Then, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you

both come to pick me up today? Are you sure nothing happened? I want to hear the truth.”

“Mm-hmm.” Daniel nodded, his expression somewhat complicated.

Seeing him remaining silent, Alice propped her chin on her hand and tilted her head to ask Johnny,

“Johnny, he probably doesn’t know how to speak. You tell me.”

Johnny was about to speak when his phone rang.

He gestured for Alice to stop talking, then answered the call. “Yes, Mr. Blacksmith. Are you serious?

Alright, keep them there. We’ll be there soon!”

Seeing Johnny’s expression, Alice quickly asked, “Another mission? Your health isn’t fully recovered

yet.”

Johnny frowned slightly and glanced at Daniel, indicating for him to explain.

However, Daniel hesitated. He was not sure how to explain to her.

Seeing the two men’s reactions, Alice furrowed her brows. “Why are you both hesitating to speak? It’s

not because you fought each other… It must be about the kids, right?”

Both men had surprise written on their faces. They didn’t expect Alice to get it right so quickly.

Seeing their expressions, Alice knew that she had guessed correctly.

For some reason, the faces of the kids immediately flashed through her mind when she heard Johnny

talking on the phone.

It was as if there was a mysterious connection between her and the kids.

“What happened to the kids?” Alice was getting increasingly anxious. She hadn’t had the chance to say

goodbye to them before leaving the country, and she didn’t know how the kids were doing.

Understanding Alice’s concern, Daniel gently comforted her. “Don’t worry. They’re not sick.”

Right now, they were alive and kicking. These kids were too bold.

Although Daniel said the kids were fine, Alice couldn’t fully believe it. She now realized why the two

men came to the airport together. It meant the kids were not okay.

“Tell me quickly… What happened to the kids? If there’s something wrong with them, I’ll be

devastated.”

Alice stared at the two men, her expression becoming increasingly solemn. “You know I don’t like lies!

Tell me what

happened. Hurry up!”

Seeing Alice getting angry, both Daniel and Johnny exchanged glances and hesitated.

“You’re not going to tell me, are you?” Alice took out her phone. “Fine, I’ll call Grandma. If I hear from

her that the little ones are in trouble, you’re both done for!”

Daniel pinched his brow, his expression turning grave. Finally, he held Alice’s wrist, paused for a few

seconds, and carefully began to explain.

“Alice, listen to me first. The kids are not sick. They ran away from home and encountered a human

trafficking gang…
