Chapter 357 Alice went downstairs to the café. Aviana was already there, sitting at She walked over and sat down. Aviana gave her a check Alice asked, âWhatâs this for?*
âName your price.â
a table.
Alice stared at Aviana. âOur agreement wasnât this. You said Jack hid something from me that day. What did he hide?â
âI lied to you.â
Avianaâs face was tense. âI only meant to bluff you, but Jack heard by chance. I had planned to say he hid your identity from you, to cause trouble between you.â
Alice sensed Aviana was lying.
âPut a number on this check. The money will be in your account today.â
Alice sneered and wrote a number on the check.
Aviana smirked, thinking Alice was still moneyâhungry.
After writing, Alice gave the check back.
Aviana glanced and her eyes widened. âWhat?â
Alice had put the maximum amount on the check.
Alice said calmly, âYou told me to write any number. Are you regretting it now?
Aviana drank her coffee in one go. She didnât expect Alice to write almost a hundred million dollars.
The Garcias didnât have that much money!
They were almost bankrupt now.
Alice stood up.âIf up.âIf you jail.â
âWait!â
wonât pay this, it means Max isnât worth it to you, so sheâll have to go to Aviana was furious.âAre you serious? Youâre asking me for so much money for such a trivial matter?â
âCanât you afford this? It looks like the Garcia family is really almost bankrupt, just like people say.â
Avianaâs face showed her anger. She thought, âThat bitch Alice! Coming from nowhere, she dares to mock me and my family!
Damn it!â
Alice looked at Aviana.âUnless you offer something in exchange, I wonât drop the charges.â Aviana glared at Alice as she left, seething and cursing, âThis little bitch is so arrogant and ignorant.â
Alice, coming from a humble background, was obviously trying to latch onto the wealthy family, ajming to replace her own daughter in marrying Jack.
seemed she now had to find a way to get rid of Alice or tarnish her reputation.

Chapter 357 Menu Aiana pondered for a moment before driving to the car shop. She needed to find someone to help her deal with Alice.
She thought, âAlice, youâve done this to yourself I have to be harsh on you this time!â
After leaving the café, Alice promptly called Elena. âAviana came to see me earlier. Things didnât go smoothly. Keep an eye on her.â
Alice went back to the Maple Company to keep testing the sample.
Luckily, all was going well.
Alice got a call from Elena after she returned to school.âAviana went to the car shop. Our insider aid the mechanic met with her, but her, but we donât know what they discussed.â
car accident.â âI see. This means Aviana might know something about that Alice felt much better. She felt she was getting closer to the truth.
After hanging up, Mary came over and said, âI looked into the Garcia family. None of them were in a car accident in New York that year. Aviana wasnât in New York that day because the whole Garcia family was at a meeting for their new energy project.â
Mary showed an old photo. âThis proves it. The meeting ran from afternoon to evening. The Garcia family couldnât have gone to New York.â
Alice examined âYes.â
all the the photo.âWere all Garcias there during that time?â
Alice studied the group photo and the banner.âI have some memory of this new energy project,â âReally? Itâs an old project that made the Garcia family wealthy. Unfortunately, they havenât completed any other projects in these years and have been living off their old wealth.
Alice shook her head.âI donât remember very She felt she had heard of the project before Could she have heard about it in her previous life?
Either way, she had a vague memory about it.
A week later, at an AI project sample exchange.
clearly. Iâll clearly. Iâll check it later.â
but couldnât remember now.
Alice went with her colleagues into the exhibit area, set up their samples, and started initial tests.
âAlice, is this your companyâs new sample? Why does it look just like ours? Did you copy us?â
Chloe sauntered over, glanced at the sample, and felt a pang of regret. If she had destroyed this sample earlier, Alice wouldnât have been able to showcase it today. But her plan had been foiled.
Alice stepped forward, locking eyes with Chloe, and spoke in a hushed tone, âChloe, you sent someone to sabotage our companyâs sample just to copy my product. But you can only mimic the appearance, not the technology. A fake will always be a fake, just like you.â Alice, how did you survive that fire? I really wish you had burned to death!â

Chapter 357 Chloe clenched her teeth in fury. How did Alice survive?
However, Chloe firmly believed that Aliceâs good luck Aliceâs good luck was about to Mena run out.
The Welch family was on the brink of bankruptcy. Soon, Alice no longer dared to be so smug in front of her!
Aliceâs lips curled into a frosty smile, âSo youâre admitting the fire was your doing?â âWhat nonsense are you talking? Everyone in our industry knows about the fire at your company. Does that make all of us suspects?â
Chloe masked the unease in her eyes. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Iâm now overseeing this project. Ethan also hinted that if I continue to excel, I could be promoted even higher.â
Then Iâll congratulate you in advance. When you climb to a high position, you will only fall harder.â
Alice hid a smirk. The faster Chloe got promoted, the more convenient it was for her to embezzle funds.
For Alice, this was actually beneficial.
Chloe arrogantly flaunted her oversized diamond ring.âI think youâre just jealous that Iâm advancing faster in the Welch Group than you. No matter how you try to slander me, the ultimate winner will always be me.â
At that moment, Ethan approached with a group of people.
Upon noticing the displayed sample, he wore a suggestive look. âAlice, itâs not too late to concede defeat now!â
Alice retorted, showing no sign of weakness, âYou should be saying that to yourself.â
âYou think that by sowing discord between Mary and me, Haley will pull her investment, donât you? Dream on. Haley believes in my project and will definitely not withdraw her investment.
Ethan had finally persuaded Haley to maintain her investment, so he needed to secure a decisive win this time.
âWhat difference does it make to me whether Haley pulls out or not? Iâm only concerned about the productâs excellence.â
Ethan stood in front of her.âAlice, if you choose to join my side now, Iâll share what Iâve uncovered from the Garcia family.â
âIâll uncover it myself,â she replied steadfastly.
Ethan spoke softly, âAlice, the clues I found reveal who was in the back seat during the crash. It took me years to discover this.
Do you really think you can find out in such a short time?â
Alice glanced up.âItâs someone from the Garcia family, isnât it?â
âWhy should I tell you? You have nothing. Even if you uncover the truth, what then? Can you take revenge on them?â
Ethan snapped, âEven if you know Andrew and Mary, it wonât make any difference. They wonât help you seek revenge because you are nothing! If you want revenge, you can only rely on me and the Welch family!â
