Chapter 416 Menu After Alice spoke, the expressions on everyoneâs faces shifted dramatically.
Chloe was also shocked.
She believed no one was aware of this. When she realized her father hadnât been caught, she knew he had undergone plastic surgery, but she thought Alice hadnât.
To her astonishment, Alice was already aware of it.
Chloe looked up to explain, âI really didnât know...â
âI didnât hide it on purpose.
Alice slapped her again.âYouâre lying. You clearly know about Pain flared on Chloeâs face. Too guilty to speak, she glanced at Finn.âFinn, I...â
Finn grabbed her hand. Tell the truth. Did you know about your fatherâs surgery?â
I thought you your dadâs and youâve seen surgery, him since then.â
knew since you caught him. I just learned Alice lied to me.â
Chloeâs mind raced.
Admitting this now would ruin her life with the Welch family.
Damn Alice, she somehow found out. Chloe worried theyâd soon catch her father.
Finn looked at Chloe intently and asked, âWhy didnât you tell me?â
âI assumed you knew, so I stayed silent.â
Chloe looked at Finn with a sad and pitiful expression.âI didnât mean any harm.â
Alice in, âFine, cut Alice smiled if you didnât mean it, you must know to herself, pleased pleased that Finn had asked that your question;
fatherâs current it gave her appearance.
leverage Tell us!â
over Chloe.
It was a perfect chance.
Chloeâs expression froze. She hadnât expected this.
Alice glared at Chloe.âSpeak!â
Chloe took a deep gulp and said, âI donât know how to describe it!â
âTell us what your father looks like after the surgery. Donât you get it?
Alice eyed her coldly. âOr are you refusing to tell us?
Noah noticed Chloeâs hesitation and seemed to understand her thoughts. He spoke coldly, âChloe, if you wonât talk or if you lie, it means youâre siding with your father. Donât blame us for being tough on you.*
Ethan added, âIâll report you for embezzling funds. That money is still missing. Your father probably took it and wonât return.â
âNo!â
Chloe felt out of control. Her father wouldnât leave her.
Alice scoffed dismissively, âYour father is a gambler. He wasnât good to you as a child, was he? He hit you when he lost and got drunk. Thatâs why your mom left!â
After Alice spoke, she saw Chloeâs expression falter.
This showed Chloe didnât fully trust her father.
Alice continued, âIf you help us catch him, it proves youâre not on his side. Then what happened years ago wonât affect you, and his imprisonment wonât impact you either.â
Finn nodded in agreement.âChloe, Alice is right. Youâre my wife and part of the Welch family. You need to choose wisely.â Finn valued the child Chloe carried but deeply hated her father.
If not for the car accident years ago, he wouldnât be disabled now!
If Chloe hadnât conceived his child, he wouldnât have let her stay in the Welch family.
Everyone was now staring at Chloe.
Alice smirked, âYouâre hesitating, arenât you? You still donât want to describe your fatherâs current appearance after the surgery to us, right? âNo, no, Iâve only seen him once and donât remember dearly.â
Chloe felt a sense of unease, suspecting that Alice was framing her, but she had no concrete proof. Currently, she was under close surveillance Chapter 416, by the Welch family, and even her phone had been taken away.
âAt least you can recall his general features, right?
Alice glanced at Buhan and NoahâGet someone to sketchâ
Nosh nodded in agreementât know an art academy teacher. I can contact him and have him come over to draw a sketchâ
Alice turned her Chloe The darch of your father will vide youâre really onâ
âWhat do you mean?
âIf the drawing resembles your father, it means you were honest before. If itâs way off, it means youâre lying and have always sided with your father:
Alice stared at Chloe, her gaze piercing.
Chloe dearly looked guilty.
Suddenly.
Ethan looked Alice âHave you already caught Darren and are just testing her?
Aliceâs lips curled coldly, âYou can guess.â
Ethan frowned.âAlice, this is no time for jokesâ
Hearing this, Chloe looked at Alice in horror. Was Alice testing her?
If she had lied just now, wouldnât she have implicated herself?
What a malicious bitch!
Alice paused for a bit, then said, âIf Chloe is not guilty, she wonât be scared. Letâs just wait and see what Chloe will say.â
She intentionally shot a look at Chloe, leaving her in the dark about her dad being caught Chloe was really unsure.
If her dad wasnât already caught by Alice, wouldnât giving her the portrait just help her track him down easier?
Chloe looked to Finn for help.âFinn, L...â
âQuickly describe your fatherâs appearance. I want to know whose side youâre on.â
Finnâs stance was firm this time.
Alice looked at Finn with a start but remembered he was always trying to help Chloe, SO she stayed on alert.
Still, it was Finn who gave her the chance to bring it up this time.
Soon, the art teacher Noah called arrived.
Alice looked at Chloe.âYou describe, he draws.â
Reluctantly, Chloe knew she couldnât avoid this.
Alice watched as Finn stayed close to Chloe, his gaze locked on the portrait with hatred.
If Darren hadnât taken the bribe to cause their parentsâ death, the Welch family wouldnât have gone through all that mess, and Finn wouldnât have ended up disabled.
Finn must really hate Darren; that was why he was so keen on seeing him.
Alice stood by, observing the scene.
Noah whispered, âAlice, honestly, have you caught that driver?â
Alice looked up, noticing Ethan was also there, listening.
She replied calmly, âYouâll know soon.â
Ethan said, âYou donât need to hide it from us right now. We trust you and no longer believe in Chloe.â
Noah nodded in agreement.âYes, Alice, we already believe you. You donât need to go to such lengths to keep it from us.â
âYouâre really being a bit too caught up in yourself.â
Alice said with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, âYouâve been totally out of it for a while now, totally missing whatâs right in front of you. Itâs not worth me bothering to try and figure out whatâs going on in your head.â.
Ethan and Noah immediately stopped talking.
An hour later, the portrait of Darren was finished.
Alice glanced at it and then asked Chloe, âAre you â sure this is accurate and not youâre lying?â
