He had never seen Serena so animated.
It was as though she was meant to be like that.
William's clenched hand relaxed as clarity filled his deep eyes.

Having been with William for so many years, Finn knew his temperament too well. He took a deep breath, turned, and grabbed Serena's arm. "Miss Sullivan, let's go." Serena was momentarily stunned before Finn pulled her towards a side door.
This direction didn't lead to the car.
Serena asked, "Where are we going?" Finn replied, "We'll figure it out once we're out of the hotel." Serena, being pulled along, could only strive to keep up.
Turning her head, she saw William suddenly stop, and her concern showed, "Will William be alright?" Finn gritted his teeth, "He should be. Mr. Grayson is Young Master William. Mr. Foster has to consider the Grayson family's reputation." Reassured, Serena ran even harder.
The wind rushed against her face.
She could almost smell the scent of freedom.
Behind them, William suddenly halted, blocking the doorway.
Frederick's men recognized William's status and hesitated, stopping their advance.
Frederick understood William's intent.
He furrowed his brow. "I've set a trap outside the hotel. Not even a fly could escape. Your stalling won't work." "It would be simpler if you handed Serena over, and I might just pretend nothing happened." William gripped the door handle, his expression calm.

"In that case, you'll have to step overto get through this door." "You-" Frederick sighed. "I should have just drunk myself into a stupor last night and avoided this mess." "Even if I can't get through, I can still catch Serena. But is it worth it for you?" William responded, "Yes, it's worth it." Frederick was taken aback, and after a pause, he asked incredulously, "You...haven't fallen for Serena, have you?" William's demeanor remained calm, his face untroubled. "I promised Serena that whenever she needed help, I'd be there." Frederick was left speechless.
Meanwhile, Finn, having passed through the side door, heard no. footsteps behind him. He guessed that William was holding off Frederick and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Sullivan," he stopped and took out his phone, opening the hotel layout. "Once we get through the door ahead, we'll reach the exit. But I suspect there'll be guards. Wait here while I drive the car around to pick you up." "Okay." Serena nodded slightly.
"I'm off, but remember, unless absolutely necessary, don't leave this spot." "Got it, now go!"
Finn wasted no time, striding quickly through the safety door towards the exit. Serena looked up and noticed En the hotel's surveillance cameras. Worried about being spotted, she searched for a hiding place and finally found one.
-Behind the trash bin.
