Alice’s pupils contracted when she saw Julia outside the elevator.

She didn’t expect the people from the Garcia family to arrive SO
quickly.
Julia was very worried about her mother. But when Alice was very young, she lost her parents because of the Garcia family.
Alice said, “Ms. Garcia, I heard that your mother went missing. Have you found her yet?”
Julia gritted her teeth in silence and ignored Alice.
Julia took a step forward and nervously looked at Jack.“Mrs. Wilson has arranged for someone to help me. Can you come with me to look for her? You are the only person I can rely on now.”
Jack tilted his head
head and looked at Alice.“Let
take you me
back to school.”
Julia approached and took Jack’s hand.“Jack, my mother has gone missing. I don’t know how she is right now. I’m very scared. Can you stay with me?”
Alice saw the worry on Julia’s face and the tears in her eyes.
Alice felt a bit guilty.
After all, Aviana was kidnapped by them and was still in their hands.
Alice glanced at Jack and said, “How about you go with Ms. Garcia to look for Mrs. Garcia?” If Jack were with Julia, maybe he could keep an eye on her and prevent any slip–ups.
But Jack avoided Julia’s hand. He walked up to take Alice out of the elevator.
Alice glanced at Jack beside her. Then she tilted her head to look at Julia but only met a pair eyes filled with resentment.
Julia shouted from behind,“Jack, are you going to abandon me at this difficult time? Julia was devastated. She never expected that Jack would still defend a despicable woman like Alice even now.
Alice just returned to school, but Julia’s mother disappeared.
Didn’t Julia’s mother matter more than this bitch Alice?
Alice walked to the side of the car and glanced at Jack.“If you didn’t go, would it seem a bit deliberate?”
The relationship between the Wilson family and the Garcia family was still good. Even though the
didn’t continue, the engagement
relationship remained the same. Jack looked at her gloomily.“Do you really want me to stay with her now?”
“I didn’t mean that.”
“What do you mean then?”
Jack lowered his head, his gaze falling on her face.“My relationship with her is not as good as you think. Don’t push me towards her.”
It was only because of his mother’s friendship with Julia’s mother that the two families had so
much interaction.
Alice suddenly realized what had made him angry. She said in a low voice, “I didn’t mean to push

you towards her.”

His thin lips were pursed coldly. He asked, “What did you mean by saying that just now?”
Alice reached out and tugged at his sleeve.“I’m worried that the Garcia family will become suspicious. If you go with her, we can find out about their arrangements and further test whether the Garcia family knows about Darren.”
“Do you want me to fool Julia with my look?”

Alice whispered, “Your mother has come to look for Mrs. Garcia. It’s improper for show up, and it will also make things difficult for your mother. Mrs. Garcia is her best friend, so just consider you’re helping your mother.”
Jack glanced at her hand and then said lightly, “Okay, I’ll go with her. I’ll have the driver take lightly,“Okay, back to school.”

“No need. I can go back by myself.”
“Don’t turn me down.”
Jack frowned and disagreed.
Alice had no choice but to nod.
After she got in the car, Alice watched as Jack walked towards Julia. Julia wore a delighted smile on her face.
Alice looked at Julia’s expression and remembered what Aviana had said. She said Alice’s parents‘ fatal car accident was entirely their bad luck.
How ridiculous it was!
Alice thought, “So, Julia, and the people of your family will start paying the price from now on The car left. Only then did Jack retract his gaze.
Julia was on the verge of tears. She had never experienced such humiliation before. She quickly composed herself and said pitifully, “Jack, your mother has arranged so many people to help me, but I’m still scared. Will you stay with me?”

He wondered why Aviana had arranged it this way.
Soon, Julia received a message from the kidnappers. She rushed to find Jack in a panic.“Jack, there’s a message from the kidnappers.”
“What did they say?”

“The kidnappers claimed that my mother owed them money, stating that they had done something for her over ten years ago, but my mother reneged on paying them.” Jack raised an eyebrow and asked, “What did your mother do over ten years ago?” “How would I know? My dad will come over later. Maybe he knows about this.” Julia was trembling with fear.“Jack, do you think something happened to my mother?” “If your mother didn’t do anything wrong, nothing would happen.”
Jack looked at Julia with a scrutinizing gaze.
Julia didn’t dare to look Jack in the eye. She wasn’t completely sure. But in front of Jack, she couldn’t admit it.
No matter what wrong things her mother did, it was for the sake of the Garcia family. Julia quickly said, “Jack, my mother is not that kind of person. She usually gets along well with others and never gets into conflicts.”
Jack’s expression turned cold.“Wait until your dad comes, so we can investigate and find out who exactly kidnapped your mother.”
no
“Jack, I don’t think my dad can be as useful as the people here. Please send more people to search for my mother. I believe there is one that the Wilson family can’t find.” Julia’s only hope was Jack.
“Going so blind can find no clues at all.”
When Jack saw Julia’s dad, Milton Garcia, he walked straight up to him and asked, “Who did you offend and owe money to over ten years ago?”
Milton’s expression was somewhat unnatural.“It’s been so long. Who can remember so much from over ten years ago? I think the kidnappers just want money, so we just give them what they want.”

“No!”
Milton rejected the proposal. If the police were to find out about what happened back then, the Garcia family would be implicated.
Julia knew there must be something behind it.
She quickly pulled Milton to the side and whispered, “Dad, what’s going on? How could they have kidnapped Mom?”

Julia was taken aback and became a
