Chapter 428 Alice angrily looked at Ethan. âDare you go back and say such words in front of our parentsâ portraits?â
âAlice, donât pretend to be highâheartedâ
Menu Ethan pulled a chair and sat down, looking somewhat dejected. âYou have someone to rely on, so everything is easy for you. But itâs not the same for me. Do you know how many difficulties I have experienced in running my company over the years?â
Alice stood still. âYou could have not started a company and lived off the fortune left by our parents for the rest of your life. In the end, itâs all because of your ambition. It has nothing to do with our parents.â
I wanted to uncover the truth behind the car accident.â
You found out the truth now. But you want to take money from the Garcia family. Stop being hypocritical.â
Alice stared at Ethan.âI know you are an arrogant and hypocritical man with double standards. But I never expected that you would even lose your basic selfârespect when it comes to the death of our parents.â
âSelfârespect doesnât bring me any benefits.â
Ethanâs eyes were cold. âThe Welch Group is currently facing a financial crisis. You caught that driver, but you refused to tell me any clues. Do you think I would just wait without doing anything?
âDo you believe what Julia said? Do you think it was the driverâs own decision and had nothing to do with the Garcia family?â
âI wouldnât easily believe Juliaâs words, but I also want to investigate it myself and find out. Hand over that driver.â
Ethan had been waiting for so long, and he couldnât wait any longer.
The Welch Group couldnât wait any longer. He urgently needed to know the whereabouts of the money and also wanted to find out if the money could be recovered.
Alice looked at Ethan.âThat money has been used for gambling. Not a penny is left. The driver back then owed a lot of money because of gambling, which is why he was bribed by Aviana.â
âAlice, do you think I would believe your word alone? After all, you are also eager to see my company encounter problems!â
After hearing this news, Ethan looked at Alice with suspicion and said, âI want to go and ask that driver myself!â
âYou are not qualified now.â
When Alice turned around to leave the private room, she was stopped by a blackâclad bodyguard.
She took a glance and found that there were quite a few of them.
It was a bit difficult for her to defeat so many people alone.
Ethan stood up and said, âAlice, you have only two options now. Either you take me to meet that driver yourself or I tie you up and take you there.â
Alice sneered, âEven if you kidnap me, you wonât be able to see him.â
âAlice! Donât think that just because youâre my sister, you can be so arrogant. If it were someone else, I would have a hundred ways to deal with you!â
Ethan was so angry that his eyes turned red. When had he ever been threatened like this?
Wasnât it easy to deal with a woman?
But this woman happened to be Alice, and he couldnât use those despicable means.
Alice stood still, with an indifferent expression on her face.âThroughout all these years, havenât you come up with countless ways to deal with me?â
Ethan felt a dull pain in his chest as he angrily said, âAlice, I said I never considered reconciling with the Garcia family. It was just a negotiation. Donât be deceived!â
âBut I could tell that you wavered. You wanted the money!â
Alice was not blind, so how could she not see it?
Ethan angrily stepped forward and grabbed Aliceâs neck, saying, âThis is my business. Itâs not your turn to interfere!â

< Chapter 428 âHand off her Merg A cold voice came, and before Laban could see what the speaker looked like, he was punched in the face, causing him to release Alice in pain. Alice landed in a broad and warm embrace, and as she looked up, she saw that handsome and familiar face, which inexplicably made her feel at Jack came.
He reached out and held Alice in his arms, his gaze towards Ethan extremely cold.
Jackâs thin lips parted as he coldly spoke. âI have warned you all earlier not to take liberties with her again!
When Erhan saw Jack, he was startled for a mome, and then his expression became extremely unfathomable.
As a man, Ethan could tell that Jack treated Alice very well.
Who would have thought that the noble son of the Wilson family would fall in love with his younger sister?
Unfortunately, his relationship with Alice was very bad.
Ethan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, âAlice is my younger sister. Who do you think you are?â
Ethan received a fast and fierce punch.
He was in so much pain that he could hardly stand steady. He bent over and covered his nose as if enduring immense pain.
Alice stood by Jackâs side and witnessed him punching Ethan.
Jackâs action was fast and fierce.
He took a step forward and stared at Ethan, saying, âAlice is mine. Dare you to take liberties with her again, youâll know what awaits you. Believe me or not, I will make it impossible for your family to stay in Washington anymore!â
âWow, how amazing!â
Ethan covered his nose and looked up, blood flowing out.âAlice, you found a powerful backer. You won.
âIF King worked so hard for all these years, but I still couldnât compare to a woman who managed to attach herself to a more powerful man. If I were a woman, maybe I would have already investigated the truth behind the car accident.â
Alice raised her hand and slapped Ethan!
Her eyes were cold and indifferent as she said, âI slapped you for my parents.â
âDid I say something wrong? If it werenât for Jack, how could you have found out about the truth so quickly? What do you have to compete with the Garcia family?â
Jack couldnât help but speak up.âAlice didnât solely rely on me. She is much more excellent than you all think.â
âMr. Wilson, if it hadnât been for you always supporting Alice, she wouldnât have cut ties with her family right after the SAT.
âEthan, it has always been you who canât live without Alice, not her who canât live without you!â
Jack was very angry at Ethanâs words.
It was Darren who had planned the car accident, and all of that had nothing to do with Alice.
But the people from the Welch family still treated Alice like that.
Ethan lowered his head, his expression inscrutable.
Alice watched as Ethan went crazy, and she spoke.âYou want to meet Darren, right?â
Ethanâs gaze paused for a moment.âYes.â
Alice nodded.âOkay, Iâll take you to see him.â
Jack did not stop him but arranged for someone to blindfold Ethanâs eyes, at least not letting him know where Darren was.
Ethan sat in the back seat, pursing his thin lips and remaining silent.
Alice glanced sideways at Jack. Although she wanted to ask him why he was there, she refrained from speaking because Ethan was also present.
Half an hour later, the car came to a stop.
Ethan was taken inside.

< Chapter 428 Alice stepped forward and took off the blindfold, saying, âHe is locked in the basement.â
Ethan looked up and saw the door to the basement. He walked straight in and indeed saw the man who had been tied to the chair.
Sure enough, he looked just like how Chloe had described. Ethan recognized him at first sight.
He went straight up to him and grabbed his neck, saying, âDo you remember who I am?â
