    Jack lowered his gaze, ncing at Alice, but chose not to call her bluff. Alice showed no emotion as she looked at them coldly.


    Ethan stumbled, barely able to stand. In a shaky voice, he said, "He''s actually still alive? Then who was the driver that died in the ident?"


    "Yeah, a scapegoat. The Garcia family bribed them to stage the whole car ident." Alice finally put the pieces together about what had happened.


    To secure the new energy project, the Garcia family bribed a driver with a gambling problem and set up a car ident.


    Perhaps unwilling to die himself, the driver arranged for a scapegoat to take the wheel. After listening to her, Ethan remembered the clues he had found. "So it was the Garcia family trying to outdo Mom and Dad for the project, right?


    "You figured it out too. The Garcia family was already celebrating their win. That same evening, our parents died in the car ident."


    In the end, the Garcia family won the project bid. Their business soared to new heights, making them one of Washington''s elite.


    The realization hit Ethan hard, and he slumped to the ground, yelling, “Where''s that driver? I''m gonna kill him!"


    If the driver had refused, their parents would not have died.


    Alice''s eyes stayed icy."There''s still a lot to clear up, but I won''t let the Garcia family get away with this. They''ll pay for what they did."


    She looked at Ethan and said, "How does it feel raising your enemy''s daughter?!!


    "Stop it! Please!" he snapped.


    It was tearing him up inside to think about it.


    Ethan couldn''t believe he had brought his enemy''s daughter into the Welch family and treated her so well.


    Ethan was


    so angry that his vision blurred, and he felt like he might copse. Noah quickly caught him and looked up at Alice, his eyes red with emotion."Alice, sorry. We didn''t mean to do it."


    She doubted his sincerity.


    Alice scoffed, "So now it''s different, huh? The Welch family owes Chloe big time. Her dad died saving our parents. Isn''t that what you''ve always said?"


    "Stop talking, please. Stop it," Noah begged.


    Ethan''s eyes were bloodshot."Alice, give Darren to me."


    "Why should I do that?"


    "Because I''m gonna kill him avenge Mom and Dad,” he roared furiously. He just couldn''t stand being toyed with by a driver.

    Alice crossed her arms and said coolly, “Kneel and apologize, and I''ll think about it? Ethan looked up, his eyes zing as he stared at her.


    Alice met his gaze with cool indifference, showing no hint of fear.


    Ethan noticed Jack standing beside her. Eventually, he bowed his head and sank to his knees. Noah stopped him and asked, "Ethan, are you sure about this?"


    Ethan kept his head down and said nothing.


    Noah looked at Alice."Alice, he''s our big brother. Do you have to humiliate him like this? We need to stick together right now."


    “Stick together, huh? Sounds touching. Without me, you''d have been getting yed by Chloe, losing everything, and not even realizing it."


    Alice shifted her gaze to Ethan."You call yourself the head of the family? Look at this mess you''ve made. It''s the biggest joke ever!"


    Ethan spat out a mouthful of blood in anger and copsed to the ground, unconscious. His eyes remained fixed on Alice, a blend of guilt and regret flickering within them. He really regretted it.


    Alice stood by, coldly watching him suffer in misery and pain.“I don''t feel sorry for you at all. You deserve this."


    Ethan covered his mouth, coughing painfully, unable to say a word.


    Noah''s heart ached as he supported Ethan. He yelled at Alice, Ethan doesn''t know the truth. We''re stuck in this mess too. Do you have to be so harsh with him?*


    "His arrogance kept him blind to Chloe''s real intentions. Honestly, I can''t believe none of you say through her act. She''s not the sweet, innocent girl you think she is. But because she knows how to charm you all, you just ignore the obvious," Alice said.


    Her expression remained unchanged as she continued, "If you''d seen her through earlier, wouldn''t you have noticed something off about her?”


    Alice was right, and her words hit Noah with such intensity that he was left breathless. He dropped to his knees and said, “Alright, I ept part of the me. It''s all our fault, okay? You see us regretting and suffering. Happy now?"


    Alice''s eyes turned red, and her chest tightened.


    She looked up at the sky, holding back her tears, then turned to them and said, "Not enough."


    She met a tragic end in her previous life because of them.


    Alice had long suspected that Chloe and her dad tricked the Welch family, making them look like fools. Until recently, it was all just a guess in her mind.


    In this lifetime, Alice worked hard and found out the truth.


    we


    have


    do for you to forgive us?" Noah asked with a sob, "What do "I will never forgive you," she replied, her voice


    icy. In her heart, she swore it.


    With that, Alice left with Jack.


    Looking at her back, Noah shouted, “Alice, we''re always your only family, and that won''t change

    Alice didn''t look back.

    Noah slumped to the ground, looking disheveled, and said, "Ethan, what should we do now?" Noah figured once he had the surgery done, he could spend more time with Alice and change her opinion about the Welch


    family.


    "I didn''t see thising. Bad timing," he muttered to himself, still feeling overwhelmed. Ethany on the ground, staring up at the dark sky, blood at the corner of his mouth. "Why did you do this to me? Why?" he screamed inwardly.


    He was as clueless as Noah.


    In the car, Alice sat in the passenger seat,pletely silent.


    Jack drove quietly, with music ying softly, while she tried to sort through her emotions. The wind blew around her for a moment before she finally said, "I lied to them."


    "I knew," Jack said.


    "I did it on purpose.


    I wanted to see the pain and regret on


    Alice had endured so much for so long.


    their faces."


    At that moment, seeing their reactions felt more important than catching Darren. Jack said calmly, “They deserved it."


    “Yes, they deserved it.” Alice wiped the tears from her eyes and said, “But I''m not as happy as I thought I would be."


    it left her feeling uneasy. She had humiliated them enough, but somehow, it Jack stopped at the red light and held her hand. As he expected, her palm was cold. He said with concern, “Hate just drags people down and pulls them away from happiness. Alice felt the warmth of his hand.


    "But I have to get revenge and make the driver and the Garcia family pay," she said, her jaw tight. She couldn''t be happy while her enemy was out there enjoying life.


    Jack held her hand tighter and took a deep breath."There''s something I''ve been wanting to tell you.”


    Alice looked at him, curiosity in her eyes.
