Alina's heart skipped a beat. her first instinct was to bolt. But Johnny strode over, cutting off her escape.
"Where are you taking my daughter?" Johnny's voice was sharp, snatching the child from Alina's grasp. He eyed her with disgust. "You were acting all shady in the elevator. Turns out you're a trafficker."
Alina froze, not expecting this little girl to be Johnny's daughter.
Laura looked about four or five years old. That meant Alina's "death" hadn't affected Johnny in the slightest. And Laura might very well be Johnny and Barbara's child.
Thinking about how miserable she had been while Barbara was cozying up to Johnny and then having a child together made Alina's body tremble with anger.
"Trafficker? You should thank me! If I hadn't rescued your daughter, you wouldn't even see her now."
Johnny looked at her with disdain. "Traffickers these days are audacious, daring to say such things!" At this point, his bodyguard rushed over, and Johnny directed, "Call the police! You dare to kidnap my daughter, I'll make you pay!"
"Johnny Sutton, you..."
Johnny stared at her, his eyes cold. "You know my name. It looks like this was a planned kidnapping. I won't let you off the hook."
"I'll cooperate, but if I'm not a trafficker, you owe me an apology on your knees!"
Johnny scoffed. "No one's made me kneel in my life."
"Wait and see!" Alina knew Johnny would regret this someday.
Johnny completely brushed off Alina's words. In his mind, she was just a wild kidnapper, not worth a second thought. When he noticed Laura seemed unwell, he grew incredibly anxious. He needed to rush her to the doctor. He had initially come to find Night, but now, saving Laura was his top priority, forcing him to let go of the search for Night.
As he carried the child into the elevator, a panicked guard yelled, "Mr. Sutton, Mr. Drake ran off!"
"What happened?" Johnny's brow furrowed.
The bodyguard explained that Drake seemed to have some martial skills. He bit the bodyguard and kicked him before running off. When he tried to chase him down, Drake had disappeared.
At that moment, the elevator opened again, and a voice came from behind. "Daddy."
