Chapter 127 Alice wouldnât let Chloe escape so easily. Werenât you demanding evidence and retribution? The cameras are here. Why are you running? Are you guilty, Chloe?â
Ethan scoffed. âGuilty?
Chloe injured and needs medical attention.â
âLetâs wait for the footage. It wonât take long, and she wonât die.â Alice glanced at Chloe; her eyes. darted around nervously.
Chloe feigned unconsciousness in Ethanâs arms. âBrother, I feel terrible. I canât hold on.â
âChloe, hold on! Once the footage is shown, Iâll make Alice pay!â
Chloe was frantic; the footage couldnât be reviewed! She would be ruined. She feigned a faint. Chloe, are you alright?â Ethan stood, holding Chloe. âIâll take her to the hospital. Iâll make Alice pay!â
Alice saw through Chloeâs act.âChloe, you canât hide forever. The cameras are right here!â
Chloe, trembling in Ethanâs arms, didnât dare wake up!
Ethan, furious, left with Chloe. Alice laughed. âThought you were tough? Scared off?ââ
Jack said quietly, âI can stop them.â Without his permission, the police couldnât access the area.
âNo need,â Alice said, waving her hand. Itâs a great opportunity to expose her.â âI want to, but the security cameras are broken.â
Sheâd checked; there was no infrared activity. She wanted to expose Chloe and humiliate Ethan, but Chloe had luck on her side.
The broken cameras didnât mean sheâd let Chloe off; sheâd pretended not to know they were broken to taunt Chloe. Chloeâs fear had been amusing.
Jack checked the cameras; they were indeed broken. He hadnât expected her attentiveness. He looked at the the police officer. âEven without footage, you can still pursue this.â
âHow can we without evidence? Seeing Chloe fall and get scared was satisfying enough.â Chloe hadnât hit her; she hadnât lost.
Jack put his arm around her.âLetâs go.â
âWhy are you in Peking?â she asked. He was in New York!
Jack looked uncomfortable.âCame to see things.â
âRight, you have time off. But why here?â
He hesitated.âGator called.â Otherwise, he wouldnât have known she was here and been stopped. by his bodyguards. Heâd almost been discovered.
âNo wonder. I have something important to do.â Ethan and Chloe were at the hospital; the Wilson heir was alone. She could capitalize on this.
She peeked outside. Jack whispered, âWhat are you looking at?â
âShh!â Alice pulled Jack behind a behind a vase. He shook his head at the hidden guards.
Alice whispered, âDonât you know the Wilson heir is dining there?â
Jackâs eyes held amusement. âSo?â
Alice sighed.âGator didnât tell you why he called you? Itâs a golden opportunity.â
Chapter 127 âWhat opportunity?
To get Wilson Corpâs investment! I canât let the Winds get it!â
Jack smiled âDonât worry, Wilson Corp will invest.â
smiled.âDonât âHow can you be sure? Did you already meet the heir?â
Jack coughed slightly. âYes.â
âHow did it go?â
âFine.â
âBut the Wilson heir is hard to please; heâs very picky! You negotiated so quickly?â
Jackâs brow furrowed. Who said heâs hard to deal with?â
âEveryone. I saw him.â
Jackâs heart pounded;
he studied her expression.âDid you SCC his face?â
âNo, his guards blocked him. I only saw his profile from a distance.â
âSo you didnât see his face.â
Alice shook her head, noticing his clothes. âYour suit is similar in color to his.â Jack remained calm.âSuits are easy to match.â
âYours looks better.â
He smiled. âIs that a compliment? You havenât even met him.â
âNothing to see. Wealthy heirs probably have complicated private lives; maybe even illegitimate children.â
He flicked her forehead. âYou know him well? You know about his private life!â
Iâm guessing. Wealthy people tend to be...playful.â Alice, from a wealthy family, had seen that lifestyle.
Jack didnât know how to explain.
Alice looked around.âItâs quiet; no oneâs here.â
Jack calmly said, âAre you hungry?â
âYes, letâs go. Wilson Corp probably cleared the floor. Letâs not cause trouble.â
Jack looked at her.âHowâs the new apartment?â
âGood. Letâs have dinner there. Iâll show you.â
âOkay.â He didnât want to risk being seen by anyone. He didnât want Alice to know who he was yer.
As they reached the restaurant, a middleâaged man approached.âMr. Wilson, long time no see!â
Alice looked at him, surprised. Mr. Wilson?
