Seeing Ethan’s spiteful gaze fixed ahead, Noah dropped the topic.
This incident caught everyone in the Welch family off guard.
No one expected Chloe’s dad to still be alive.

They’d been poking around the accident vehicle but never thought their chauffeur could play a role.
Word had it that they had caught someone, so Alice took a taxi straight to the address Elena sent.
Alice felt uneasy the entire ride.
After all this waiting, the truth was finally about to be revealed.
The taxi pulled up to a deserted factory on the outskirts of town, now mainly used as a scrap warehouse.
Alice got out and saw Jack, wearing black sportswear and a hat, heading her way.
“How is the wedding going?” he asked.
“You know, I got my revenge. The wedding was off. Chloe wanted to tell her dad, but I stopped her,” Alice replied.
Jack patted her head and said, “It’s good to let it out.”
“Where is he?” Alice asked.

car happened in that
accident.
She really wanted Just then, the screech of brakes interrupted them.
Alice turned around and saw a car come to a stop. Ethan and Noah got out
She frowned and said, “I didn’t notice they were tailing me.”
Given everything that had happened at the wedding, she thought Ethan would be more focused on finding the money.
Noah, who was stopped by someone, called out to Alice, “Hey! We deserve to know what happened too.”
Ethan glanced at Alice, too afraid to say anything.
Jack shot them a cold look and said, “Let’s wait for Alice to find out. You didn’t help. Don’t think you can just take advantage like this.”
Noah looked a bit annoyed. “We know Alice deserves the credit. We’re not trying to steal it; we just want to know the truth, okay?”
Ethan kept quiet, mostly out of shame.
But he had to admit that he was also curious whether Chloe’s dad Darren Black had survived. Alice shot them an icy glance and warned, “You better listen to him and wait your turn.” She kept Ethan and Noah at a distance and followed Jack forward.“Even if we get him, we can’t hand him over to Ethan,” she whispered.
“I know, but there’s a little hiccup at the moment,” Jack replied.

Alice walked into the factory and saw a middle–aged man with his hands and feet tied, and his mouth gagged.
She recognized at a glance that he wasn’t Darren.
“No, he’s one of Darren’s relatives,” she thought.
Jack explained, “Our men tracked the account and caught this guy, but the other got away and is still on the run.”
Alice’s heart lurched again.“Maybe Chloe sent a message or did something that let the guy get away.”
“I don’t think so. If she’d tipped them off, both would have bolted. No way one would still be here.”
“Chloe had another phone. Darren called that number, but I intercepted the call,” Alice said with a frown.
“Maybe that’s what made him suspicious,” she wondered.
Then she added, “I think that was the reason. The guy’s super cautious and knows how to stay under the radar. That’s how they’ve managed to stay hidden all these years.” Jack looked at her and said, “Sorry, I didn’t catch him.”
The failure left him both irritated and frustrated.
He couldn’t believe someone had managed to escape right under his nose in Washington.
“Did the
end money up in this guy’s account too?” Alice asked.
“Yes, it seems he and Darren were planning to split the spoils together,” Jack answered Alice frowned again and asked, “So, did we get anything useful out of this guy “Not yet. I’ve been too busy tracking down Darren,” he replied.
Jack looked at her and continued, “Now that you’re here, you can start grilling_him.” He’d been waiting for Alice to show up so she could ask all the questions she had been having. gag Jack glanced at the middle–aged man beside him and swiftly removed the blindfold and the from his mouth.
The man opened his eyes, and his face changed dramatically when he saw Alice. Alice stepped closer and asked, “You know me, right?”
“I… I don’t know you,” he stammered.
“Still denying it? You were at the Welch’s villa, and you even killed the butler.” Hearing this, the middle–aged man started to panic.
“You’ve met Chloe before. You’re Darren’s cousin,” Alice said, staring into his face. “Where did Darren go?”
“I
don’t know what you’re
talking
about. Darren already passed
away.” i
“Then who was the guy you were splitting the money with today?” Alice demanded.
The man lowered his head and remained silent.

Jack grabbed Alice’s hand to stop her.“Leave it to my men. They’ll get him to talk. Let’s go.”
Jack took her out.
The questioning process might get bloody, and it wasn’t something Alice needed to see.
Soon, a scream rang out, but it was quickly silenced.
Jack held Alice’s hand and noticed it was cold. With concern in his voice, he said, “We’ll find Darren.”
“Now that he’s on alert, he won’t show up easily,” Alice said, feeling anxious and frustrated. She had been eagerly waiting for this day, but in the end, he still managed to escape.
She couldn’t shake the nagging feeling.
Something important might have been missed along the way.
Jack hugged her and said, “Look, if he’s broke, he can’t hide forever. Plus, the guy we caught must know the whole story and will tell the truth eventually.”
Alice leaned against his chest, the rhythm of his heartbeat filling her Finally, she calmed down, realizing she had been a bit too anxious.
She had hoped to catch Darren today.
ears.
But after hiding for so many years, it was clear he wouldn’t be found so easily. If he were that foolish, the car accident would never have happened.
After a while, Elena walked out and said, “The guy passed out, still not talking. It’ll take some time to get him to talk.”

your time Jack narrowed his eyes and said icily,“Then take him Alice pulled away from his embrace, looked at Elena, and said firmly, “You have to get it out of him.”
“Ms. Welch, don’t worry. It’s only a matter of time before we get the answers. Plus, with his gambling habit and debts, he’ll crack soon enough.”
Alice knew that he and Darren both liked gambling.
It explained why the Garcia family managed to bribe them.
Elena and her team came out, quickly stuffed the middle–aged man into the van, and drove
away.
Alice looked at Jack and said, “But now, the Welch family knows, including Chloe, even though she hasn’t admitted it.”
“Just tell them then. There’s no point in hiding anything now. We’ll see how they handle Chloe. Maybe that phony bitch will give us something useful,” he remarked.
“Yeah.”
Alice turned her head and looked to the side.
Ethan and Noah watched from a distance, anxiety gnawing at them.
Alice walked straight over. Noah was the first to break the silence, asking, “Alice, how did it go? The man they took away–he’s Darren, right?”
Alice coldly looked at them.“That’s right. He’s Darren.”
