Chapter 434 After doing this, Alice saw the two men were drenched and felt a sense of relief.
She patted her hands and looked at them, saying, âAre you sober now?â
Menu Noah said, âAlice, what are you doing? You know that Ethan has never apologized to anyone in such a humble manner before, which means he truly realizes his mistake. Canât you give him another chance? After all, we are not fortune tellers and didnât know if Darren is suspicious.â
If they had known, they never would have brought Chloe back to the Welch family.
Ethan wiped the dirty water off his face and said, âAlice, do you think you could have done any better than us? Canât a person with a criminal record start anew?â
âDonât try to guiltâtrip me. If it were up to me, I wouldnât have brought Chloe to the Welch family and raised her.â
Noah argued, âEthan did this because he thought Darren had saved your life and wanted to repay the favor.â
âThere are many ways to repay the lifeâsaving grace. He could give money to let Chloe live a worryâfree life, but he chose to bring Chloe back to the Welch family. Did Ethan think I didnât know what intentions he had? Wasnât it to enhance his reputation?â
Regardless of whether it was having Darren, who had a criminal record, as a driver or taking in Chloe, Ethan did it all for the sake of his good reputation.
Ethan angrily replied, âBut what I did seemed perfectly fine at the time!â
Alice sneered, âYes, youâre right. You never thought you were wrong from beginning to end. The words you just said were just a temporary measure to cover up the mistakes you made.â
Ethan suddenly fell silent.
Alice looked at him with a mocking expression and said, âAfter all these years, we know each other well.â
Noah stepped forward, wanting to explain something, but Alice looked at him and said, âYou are no different.â
After saying that, Alice walked into the elevator without looking back.
She thought about how Ethan and Noah had been echoing each other, and it seemed hilarious to her.
Did they really think that by using this method, they could make her feel pity and forgive them, and then share the clues about the investigation on Darren to alleviate their guilt?
Dream on. It was absolutely impossible.
In her previous life, she would have been deceived by the words of Ethan and Noah. But after experiencing death once, she would never be fooled again.
After the elevator doors closed, Ethan and Noah stood there embarrassed, both feeling uneasy..
Noah glanced at Ethan and said, âEthan, can you please be more sincere to Alice in the future and stop using such tactics?
Sheâs no longer easily persuaded and canât be easily swayed by us.â
Ethan felt a mix of anger and embarrassment.âWhat tactics did I use? I explained and apologized, but she didnât accept it.â
âEthan, itâs useless to say these things now. The most important thing is to find out Chloeâs whereabouts. She disappeared in the bathroom. There is still no news at the moment.â
âNo matter what it takes, we must find her.â
However, both Noah and Ethan had bad feelings in their hearts. Most likely, Chloe was taken away by the Garcia family.
But if that were the case, there was nothing they could do to find her.
Yet, they tacitly avoided mentioning this possibility.
After leaving the hospital, Alice went straight back to school.
But Chloeâs disappearance still made her very angry.
The Welch family members still made her feel as disgusted as ever.
At that moment, Jack called her and asked, âI heard Chloe disappear. What exactly happened?â

< Chapter 434 Alice briefly recounted everything that happened at the hospital.
Menu She took a deep breath and angrily said, âI didnât expect the Welch family to be so careless. Chloe seems to have gained their trust during this period, which is why they let their guard down.â
After saying that, Alice felt down. âItâs all my fault. If I had been more careful and prevented the Welch family from doing this, maybe...â
Jack interrupted her and said, âItâs not your fault. Chloe is a living person, and you cannot abnormally control her to keep her in one place. It is most appropriate to make her stay with the Welch family.â
âBut I never expected that with so many people, they couldnât keep an eye on Chloe. If Chloe really falls into the hands of the Garcia family, this whole situation will become even more troublesome.â
âChloe has not been found yet, so letâs not jump to conclusions too soon. We must not give ourselves away and let the Garcia family figure it out.â
Alice also knew Chloe might have run away by herself.
If the Garcia family found out that Chloe was missing, they would go looking for her, which would make things even more troublesome.
Alice replied sullenly, âOkay. I got it.â
Aliceâs mood improved after she heard Jackâs words.
She blurted out, âWhat are you doing now?â
Alice suddenly remembered all their conversations seemed to be related to her revenge.
It seemed that no matter what happened, Jack could always appear by her side promptly.
But Alice knew Jack was the heir of the Wilson family, so he must have had a lot of things to do regularly.
Yet Jack still put her matters in the first place.
Hearing the soft voice coming from the other end of the phone, Jack smiled and became much more joyful.
He swiveled his chair and said, âIâm at the office.â
âHave you been busy lately?â
Jackâs breath was caught in his throat as he replied, âWell, yes. I have a meeting soon. Whatâs up?â
âNothing. Go ahead and busy yourself first.â
Alice seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and was about to hang up the phone, but Jackâs voice came from the other end,âAlice, if you something to say, you can tell me directly. Nothing is more important than your matters.â
His words instantly touched her heart, softening it like a clear spring.
Aliceâs ears turned red after she heard this.
have She touched her burning ears and said, âIf youâre free in the evening, letâs have dinner together. After all, youâve helped me so much, and I havenât properly thanked you yet. Today, Iâll treat you to a table at Pear Orchard.â
Jack chuckled on the other end.âAlright, Iâll pick you up later.â
of coff âNo need. Your company is not in the same direction as my school. Itâll be a waste of a lot of time for you to pick me up. Letâs meet at Pear Orchard later.â
âOkay.â
After Jack hung up the phone, his mood improved a lot.
He glanced at the secretary and said, âWhat else is scheduled for today?â
âThere was a meeting in the afternoon and evening. Dinner was arranged to have with the CEO of our partner company.â
âCancel the dinner reservations and book a private room in Pear Orchard. Also, inform the head chef there to prepare some local dishes from New York.â
The secretary was taken aback after hearing these requests. âMr. Wilson, are you entertaining some important guests from New York tonight?â
Jack smiled when he heard the words.âItâs indeed an important person.â
At that moment, a commotion came from outside the door.âMs. Garcia, you canât come in. Mr. Wilson is busy in his office. Please let me @05:03 100.0%
< Chapter 434 announce your arrival first.â
âGet out of my way. I have something to talk to Jack. I know heâs in the office. Tell him not to avoid me.â
Menu Julia, accompanied by two bodyguards, forcefully pushed aside the staff of the secretary department and barged into the office.
of a successful and mature man. She saw the man sitting in the chair, dressed in a black suit, looking handsome and charming, exuding the aura It was the man Julia had deeply loved for many years, but he was so cruel to her.
Jack looked up and glanced at Julia, âYou should know I donât like it when someone casually barges into my did to me?â âJack, donât you want to take responsibility for what you office.
