Chapter 152: Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Julia Garcia reasoned that Jack wouldn’t text the girl so soon after she’d left. She needed to ank Luke.

Julia Garcia called Luke. “Luke, was the girl in the accident the one I saw yesterday “No. I wouldn’t leave her at that hospital. Ask Jack. I won’t say.” Luke hung up, relieved Alice took a taxi back to school. Her first act was to call Chloe. “How’s sleep these days?” “Alice? Why are you calling?”

Alice’s tone was light.“Catching up. We’re family, after all.”

Chloe felt uneasy. Alice’s tone made her nervous.

come, I’ll release the evidence.”

Alice laughed. “If don’t come, you “What evidence?

evidence? Do you have a backup? You would have used it already”

“School rooftop. See you there.”

Alice hung up. She bet Chloe, feeling guilty, would come.

Alice went to the rooftop of the business school building. It was unlocked, with lounge chairs and tables. The business school students lived comfortably.

Alice stood by the railing. It wasn’t high. The wind was strong. One step, and she could fall Chloe arrived stealthily. Seeing Alice at the edge, a crazy thought entered her mind: If Alice fell no one would know about the evidence. She wouldn’t be kicked out of the Windham famil The thought took root. She crept towards Alice. One push, and Alice would fall. She wouldn’t miss this chance, not after the café incident. Noah’s reaction proved she’d be abandoned if the Windhams saw the evidence.

She crept behind Alice and pushed. But Alice moved aside. Chloe missed, falling over the railing Alice grabbed her hair; Chloe was hanging halfway over the edge. If Alice let go, she would fall Chloe screamed, clinging to the railing, her feet barely on the ledge.

Alice laughed, watching Chloe struggle.

“Chloe, you wanted to push me, so no one would know about the evidence, right?” “No! I just wanted to say hi!” Chloe was crying, terrified.

Alice patted Chloe’s face. “You think I’d believe you?”

“If I die here, you’ll be implicated. My friends know I came here to meet you. If I die, you’ll be charged with murder!”

“Threatening me?” Alice let go. Chloe screamed, clinging desperately to the railing, her feet precariously perched on the ledge.

Chloe yelled, Alice, are you insane?!”

Alice smirked.“I wanted a quiet life, but you keep haunting me.

“What do you want?” Chloe was breaking down.

haunting me. Let’s play.”

Alice grabbed a drink and poured drink and poured it over Chloe’s head. To play with your life.”

“Im sorry! At the bar, Max forced me. I was scared!” Chloe was terrified. If Alice let go, she’d die.

Alice found this amusing. She’d been killed by this two–faced fool in her past life. She’d lacked Chloe’s manipulative skills.

Alice stepped on Chloe’s hand. I pull you up, but you have to do something for me.”

“Anything” Don’t kill me!”

“You know Ethan invested heavily in the Al project, right?

Chloe nodded frantically.

“Steal the Al data from Ethan for me.”

Alice increased the pressure on Chloe’s hand; she nodded. “Okay, Brother Ethan never suspects.

me!”

Alice released her foot. Chloe gasped for air, reaching for Alice.

Alice looked at her hand with disgust, offering the bottle instead.

Chloe scrambled up, shaken, and yelled, “You think I’ll do it? Dream on!” She’d only agreed to survive.

She lunged at Alice. Alice grabbed her hair and pushed her to the ground, slapping her repeatedly.

Alice held Chloe’s chin. I know you’ll back out! But I told you, I have evidence!”

‘I don’t believe you!”

“But you came, proving you’re guilty.” Alice showed a photo–a screenshot from the recovered video of Chloe spraying Alice.

Chloe froze, terrified. Alice really had the evidence!

“Why didn’t you show this to your brothers? Why bring me here?”

“Because I want something different. Steal Ethan’s AI data. I want Maple Leaf to win!” Alice stared at Chloe.“Do as I say, or I’ll release this.”

‘Don’t! I’ll do it!” Chloe was terrified of Alice.

Alice stood up. I’m waiting for that data.” She left, deleting the photo; it was just a fake. But a guilty person wouldn’t risk it. She anticipated Chloe’s actions and Ethan’s reaction. Revenge was sweet, but so was success.
