Chapter 408: Chapter 424

Chapter 424 Alice was suspicious of Garrett’s motives. He definitely had some hidden agenda.

Menu Garrett became a bit angry and embarrassed.“Alice, I used to date Chloe. Even after breaking up, we’re still friends. She hasn’t been to school for some time and no one can reach het. She’s an orphan. No one knows what’s happening to her at the Welch residence.”

Alice gave him a cold look.“So what?”

“Chloe needs to come back to school and attend classes. The Welch family has no right to keep her locked up at home.”

“Who said we locked her up?” Alice questioned Garrett.

“Who told you that? Who asked you to do this?”

Normally, Garrett wouldn’t chase after Chloe because he was the kind of guy who did as his mother said, not to mention the incidents at the Parker family banquet.

Besides, rumors were circulating about Chloe’s Garrett should have been done with Chloe by now.

sleeping with an older man at her wedding ceremony.

Garrett’s expression turned a little awkward.“That’s none of your business. If you keep confining Chloe, I’ll call the police.”

Alice looked at him with a smirk. “You didn’t know, did you? Chloe is pregnant.”

“Pregnant?” Garrett seemed genuinely taken aback.

Alice continued, “Chloe is at home resting during her pregnancy. She’s not being locked up. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and call the police.”

Without another word, Alice walked away.

She figured Garrett was trying to get Chloe out of the Welch family’s control.

She wondered who exactly wanted to see Chloe so badly.

It had to be someone from the Garcia family.

But it wasn’t clear yet whether the Garcias were planning O As Alice thought of this, she called Noah, “I need to tell you something.”

“Alice, what is it?”

Noah sounded surprised. He didn’t expect Alice to call him.

use Chloe to threaten Darren into keeping quiet.

Alice lowered her voice, “Make sure not to let Chloe escape. The Garcias would love to have her as a hostage.”

“I know, but did Darren say something?”

“Darren agreed to turn himself in. But just to be safe, keep a close eye on Chloe. If she falls into the Garcias‘ hands, do you really think she’ll side with the Welch family?”

Noah knew Chloe well enough. She was a complete ingrate.

He said, “Got I’ll have someone watch her.“.

“Good. Make sure you talk to Finn about this, so he doesn’t get fooled by Chloe and let her go. She’s a valuable hostage.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Chloe can’t escape,” Noah promised.

He then asked, “So when do you plan to turn Darren over to the police?”

“When the time is right,” Alice replied, hanging up without intending to share more with him.

It seemed the Garcia family was about to make their move.

Alice went to class. News of Aviana’s kidnapping was all over the internet, with all sorts of detailed rumors.

Some even claimed that the kidnappers had taken disgraceful photos of Aviana to blackmail the Garcia family.

After all, Julia was a prominent socialite in Washington. Thus, many people were interested when her mother experienced such a significant event.

Alice was puzzled about who was spreading these rumors all over the place.

She texted Mary to ask about it.

Mary quickly replied, “I have no idea. The Garcia family is going crazy. They asked Alice instinctively thought of one person, wondering if Jack was behind this.

Aviana always claimed to have great connections in the high–society circle. Now that she’d lost face, Alice wondered how she managed in that circle.

After class, Alice went straight to the team base.

She’d been busy investigating Darren lately and hadn’t had time to manage the team or participate in the school league. When she walked in, she saw Andy training with the teammates. She watched them play for a while, impressed by how much the team had improved.

When Andy looked up and saw her, he stood up with a surprised smile. “You came.”

“I have I a to on.”

“I had some time today, so I came to take a look. I heard you’ve been winning the school league, and tonight is the finals.” “Yes, I wanted to ask if you could join us, but your roommate said you’ve been busy lately and probably wouldn’t have time.”

while. I’ll just come cheer for you haven’t trained with time tonight, but you guys would be best if she didn’t join in. Alice had just seen how well they trained together, and she decided it would be “You seem delighted. Did you finish what you were working on?” Andy asked.

“Yes, I’m feeling great,” Alice replied.

Alice discussed the final match of the night with everyone and brought up some tactical issues.

The evening’s competition was set to take place at the stadium.

Alice and her teammates headed to the stadium, all dressed in matching red uniforms.

While waiting, Alice received a call from Julia.

She calmly answered, “Ms. Garcia, what’s up?”

“Alice, how dare your family kidnap my mother! We won’t let you get away with this.” “Ms. Garcia, you need evidence for such accusations. Why would I kidnap your mother?”

“You know exactly why,” Julia snapped.

“Do I? Explain it Ime,” Alice retorted.

She was careful with ords.

not to leave any incriminating evidence during their conversation. And so was Julia, who was also cautious.

Julia took a deep breath.“Alice, you’re at the competition venue, right? This is your team’s first public league match. You’ve worked so hard for this. If today, all of your team’s efforts will have been in vain.”

Alice laughed coldly, “Sorry, threats won’t work on me.”

“Fine, Alice. Don’t regret this,” Julia said before hanging up.

She turned to her people, her face gloomy.“Do it. Make Alice suffer.”

“Julia, where have you been? Mom is having a breakdown and threatening to kill herself. No one can calm her down,” Max stormed in. “Who were you talking to? And why does Mom say the Welch family kidnapped her? What exactly happened years ago?” “Max, take care of Mom. I’ll make sure the Welch family pays. I’ll make sure they all die without a trace,” Julia said coldly before leaving the hospital.

She ordered her people, “Gather everyone and head to the stadium. Block all exits.” The Welch family would pay for what they did to her mother, starting with Alice.
