“A staff member said there was an interview, so they left. I went to the bathroom, but when I got there, no one was around."
Alice immediately guessed who was behind this.
She called Julia, who answered instantly.“Ms. Welch, if you''ve thought it through, just go to the main entrance. Someone will pick you up."
"Ms. Garcia, you''re mistaken. I''ve called the police. If our conversation recording gets to them, who do you think they''ll suspect?"
Alice''s tone was cold."Can your family handle another scandal right now?"
"Whatever. Do you think the police won''t find out what your family has done?"
Julia was fuming in her car. Alice was tougher than she expected.
Alice was a tough nut to crack.

Alice nodded. "I will take responsibility for this incident."
"We''re not out of options yet. The main team is gone, but the reserve team is still here.”
Andy quickly made a call to summon the reserve team.“ “They were supposed to cheer from the sidelines, but now they can y. If you join us, we might still have a chance to win."
“Alright, let''s discuss our strategy," Alice said.
As she and the reserve team prepared, the main team members returned.

“They made us hand over our phones before the interview to avoid interference. We didn''t expect to be locked in. After a while, the door suddenly opened, so we returned."

Julia sat beside her, a smug look on her face."If you had juste with my people, none of this would have happened. Now they''re implicated because of you."
Alice watched the struggling team.
She showed a cold look. "Is this all you can do?"
“Alice, what are you so proud about? We''re not as despicable as you are."
Julia was fuming."You pretended to be innocent when I previously approached you. Your family kidnapped my mother."

She tried to sound Alice out earlier, but she was tricked into doing nothing since Alice didn''t reveal that she

"Of course. Justice will prevail sooner orter. Your family will pay for the crimes."
Her gaze was fixed on Julia."Are you trying to get your criminal mother off the hook?"
