Chapter 377: Chapter 393

Chapter 393 Chapter 393 Menu Alice heard Ethan’s words, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips.“Oh? Now you care? Weren’t you so protective of Chloe back then?”

Ethan was so angry he could barely catch his breath.

He was still lying in a hospital bed, and after waking up last night, he hadn’t managed to get any sleep.

Now, the money Chloe had transferred was gone. There wasn’t a single trace left.

Noah was feeling the pressure.“Alice, we should put our past grudges aside and unite to uncover the truth about the car accident, and find the people responsible for killing our parents.”

“We’ve already alerted them. The Garcia family will hear about this soon. What’s the point in joining forces with you?”

Alice glanced at her phone.“Stop threatening me with Chloe’s life. I don’t care about her. In fact, I’d rather see her dead.”

“Alice, Ethan doesn’t mean it that way. What he’s saying is that Chloe is in our hands now. She’s a hostage, and she must know something about her dad. Isn’t it better for us to work together and find the truth as quickly as possible?”

Noah hadn’t slept much last night either.

The idea that Darren was still alive “No.”

Alice’s rejection was final.

was something he couldn’t quite accept.

Ethan was furious.“Alice, you know cooperating with me is the fastest way. Why are you rejecting it?”

“It’s simple.”

Alice’s voice was calm as she spoke.“Now that you know Darren is still alive, don’t you feel suffocated? The guilt and regret weighing on your chest, making it hard to breathe?”

Noah and Ethan exchanged a glance, lowering their heads into a heavy silence.

It had indeed been a tormenting night. Regret had pressed on their hearts, making it hard to endure.

Noah’s voice was hoarse as he spoke.“Alice, since we found out the truth, we’ve already been accepting our punishment.”

Sometimes, just staying alive felt like a punishment.

Alice spoke flatly, “I know. That’s the point. Watching you suffer, feeling guilty for the rest of your lives.”

Ethan was starting to crack.“Alice, what do you want from me? I didn’t know things were like this. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ve paid my price already!”

“This is just the beginning.”

Alice’s tone was as cold as ice. “You’ve been saying for years that I owe Chloe a life, that I should bear this accusation. How many years have I carried that burden? Where are you now?”

< Chapter 393 Hearing this, Noah immediately covered his face, his pain evident.“Please, don’t Don’t bring it up.”

Noah couldn’t accept the reality.

Mers say it anymore.

For all these years, they had blamed Alice for their parents‘ deaths.

They had stayed up all night, but Alice had endured this kind of emotional torment for years.

Noah sobbed uncontrollably.“Alice, it’s Noah who wronged you. I shouldn’t have said those things to you.”

Ethan was speechless. He couldn’t even respond to Alice’s words.

His eyes were filled with panic. For all these years, he had done the same thing.

Now, he was slowly realizing his mistake. He had been emotionally torturing his own sister all this time.

Alice looked at her phone. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Her tone was dripping with sarcasm.

The call was abruptly ended.

Noah trembled as he threw his phone across the room.

With a bitter laugh, he said, “Ethan, why the hell did you bring Chloe back to the Welch family? If you hadn’t brought her back, Alice wouldn’t have suffered, and we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.”

We wouldn’t be feeling this pain.

Ethan clutched his head.“Stop. Just stop.”

“Why stop? Ethan, do you regret it now? Didn’t I warn you countless times not to treat Alice like this? She’s our sister, our flesh and blood. But how did you did you treat her?

Noah was furious now.“Ethan, if you had listened to me earlier, maybe Alice wouldn’t hate us this much. At least we wouldn’t be trapped in this deadlock between us.”

Ethan was a mess. He covered his He covered his face, unable to look Noah in the eye.

He was in agony.

Alice was right. From that moment on, every second felt unbearable.

Pain and regret weighed heavily on his chest.

The punishment had only just begun.

Alice truly was ruthless.

After hanging up, Alice finished her breakfast and headed straight to school.

She went to the classroom for her lecture, where Lana had saved her a After Alice sat down, Lana whispered, “How did things go last night?”

“It went well enough. I’ll explain later.”

seat.

Alice didn’t want to say too much in class, afraid that others might overhear and it would spread quickly.

< Chapter 393 Menu Lana understood, so she didn’t press any further. She and Mary hadn’t slept well the previous night either, wondering what had happened with Alice and not daring to send a message, worried about causing her more trouble.

During the class, Alice received a message from Jack.“I’ll pick you up after class.”

“Where are we going?”

“Strike first.”

When Alice saw the text, she got Jack’s point.

After everything they’d done last night, Aviana would likely hear about it soon. So they needed to act now.

Alice hadn’t expected Jack to have everything arranged so quickly.

She agreed and began thinking about what Jack might be planning.

No matter how much she thought, she couldn’t figure out what he was going to do next. When the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Alice packed her things.“Please take these back to the dorm for me. I have something to take care of. If there’s anything, just send a message.”

“Got it. Be careful.”

Lana knew what Alice was up to but was unable to offer any help. She could only hope Alice would stay safe.

Alice nodded. By now, no matter how, they had to uncover the truth about the car accident from years ago.

She stepped out of the classroom and ran into those from the business school. Max raised her voice, “Alice’s here! The wedding at the Welch family last night was something They played the video of the bride and Davis in bed together. Really explosive stuff!

Alice didn’t flinch at his words. Her expression remained unchanged.

Lana spoke up,“Chloe’s always been like that. She deserved it!”

Just then, Garrett stormed over with a dark look. Alice stopped him with one hand, her voice cold.“What do you want?”

“Alice, is what Max said true?”

Garrett looked exhausted, with red eyes, as if he hadn’t slept. He couldn’t believe Chloe had really married Finn. What did that make him?

Alice gave him a half–smile, almost sarcastic.“Well, it depends on what you mean. The wedding last night was true. The video of Chloe? That’s true too.”

Garrett seemed to stumble, his face turning even darker as he stormed off in a fit of rage. Max laughed loudly.“Alice, your family really has no class. The Welch family has become the butt of the joke. Your reputation is ruined.”

Alice remained expressionless. To be honest, she didn’t care about the family’s reputation. at the wedding yesterday. If she did, she wouldn’t have played that video Alice tried to walk away, but Max stepped in front of her, blocking her path.“Wait, as the center of attention, why don’t you tell us what happened afterward? Did Finn really beat Chloe up badly? We can’t get ahold of her.”
