Chapter 408
After hearing this sentence,
Chloe was instantly SO angry that her nails almost
almost broke.
She knew that Alice would give her a hard time.
It was really disgusting to make her kneel down and pray in black!
Noah and Ethan exchanged a glance. Neither of them had any objections to Alice’s proposal.
Both of them looked at Finn at the same time and said, “What do you think?”
Finn didn’t know how to answer, but he also felt like it was nothing big deal. After all, Darren had killed his own parents, so it was reasonable.
But Chloe deliberately covered her stomach and pretended to be weak, saying, “Finn, I’m not feeling well now. The doctor told me to lie in bed and take care of the baby. If I kneel every day, it will affect the baby.”
Noah looked at Finn and said, “Since you have decided to be with Chloe and have decided to keep that child, then she’s a member of the Welch family and should follow the rules of the Welch family. I think it is appropriate for her to kneel down and pray in black. After all, her dad caused the death of our parents, didn’t he?” Finn nodded, “Noah, you are right. Let Chloe do it.”
Finn didn’t even ask for Chloe’s opinion and just agreed directly.
Chloe immediately hated them in her heart. She didn’t want to do it at all, but no one asked for her opinion, and no one cared about her.
But Chloe had no way to refuse at all now.
“Alice, look, Chloe has agreed to this, so let her off.”
“Since she agreed, let’s start it today. The first thing to do every morning is to offer greetings to my parents and then kneel down in black.”
The new butler quickly brought the black clothes, obviously prepared well in advance. Alice looked at Chloe with a half–smile and said, “Put on your clothes. After all, you are the future daughter–in–law of the Welch family, and this rule should be followed.”
Chloe didn’t move for a long time, looking extremely aggrieved.
Alice spoke coldly, “Your dad killed my parents, and this is what you should do. You owe the Welch family two lives!”
After hearing these words, Finn originally wanted to speak up for Chloe, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. Reluctantly, Chloe put on the clothes and walked outside. She knelt down in front of the black and white portrait in humiliation.
Alice was satisfied to see this.
After all, this was the most painful thing for Chloe.
At this moment, Ethan walked over and said, “Since we have all agreed to these things, you should also take me to meet the person you have captured. We can join forces and deal with the Garcia family.”
“Didn’t you say before that the Garcia family had power and influence, and that the Welch family couldn’t possibly deal with them?”
“I used to think so, but I learned some news today that Mrs. Garcia has gone missing. Did you have anything to do with it?”
Alice’s expression remained calm.
She knew that Aviana’s disappearance would not be hidden for long.
She coldly spoke, “Don’t

“Mrs. Garcia is missing now. How could I not suspect you?”
Beside him, Finn sneered, “Ethan, you overestimated Alice. How could she possibly have the courage and ability to kidnap Mrs. Garcia?”
“She didn’t have this ability, but the Wilson family did. Don’t forget about her relationship with Jack.”
Finn’s face changed instantly, and then he snorted coldly, “Didn’t I hear that Jack dumped her? Because their family never approved of their relationship.”
But Ethan didn’t believe it. After all, it was a bit suspicious for Aviana to go missing at this time. So he looked at Alice and said, “We are a family now, and we should present a united front. If you receive any information from Mrs. Garcia, you should share it with us.”
“It has nothing to do with me, and there is no need to spread rumors here.”
Alice didn’t want to say too much here either. She turned around and left the villa.
After Alice left, Ethan turned around and looked at Finn, saying, “During this period of time, you must stick to Chloe closely and never let her leave the house even for a step. Otherwise, I will also kick you out of the Welch family.”
Finn felt a bit embarrassed.“Ethan, what are you talking about? How could I let Chloe run around before this matter is resolved? Don’t worry. Even though I can’t help much in investigating the truth about our parents, I will definitely not hold back.”
“You better do it this way.”
Ethan was all ready to go out, and Noah followed him, lowering his voice and saying, “Should we send someone to follow Alice? I always feel that Mrs.
Mrs. Garcia’s
Garcia’s disappearance must be related to them.” But now, Alice had become estranged from them, and she wouldn’t tell them about the news. “Of course, someone has to follow her. Currently, we know nothing, and we also don’t know where Darren is hiding.”
“I asked Chloe before, and she said that her dad had been hiding in a 4S store before. We can start the investigation from that 4S store.”
“No hurry. The most important thing at the moment is to recover the money.”
Noah looked at him incredulously and said, “Ethan, is there anything more important than investigating the cause of our parents‘ death?”
Ethan was also a little angry.“If the money doesn’t come back soon, we will have to find a way to solve the funding problem. Otherwise, the Welch problem. Otherwise, the Welch Group will face the crisis of bankruptcy!”
Was he going to watch his company, which he founded with his own hands, go bankrupt? Ethan softened his tone and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to investigate the cause of our parents‘ death. Anyway, with Alice and the help of the Wilson family, she will definitely be able to catch Darren. Even if we intervene, we won’t be able to help much.”
“It’s OK, but we can
just do nothing, right?”
Noah couldn’t accept it.
“Noah, in that case, you go keep an eye on Alice. Over here, I will investigate to find the money and trace the whereabouts of Darren. What do you think?”
“Okay, feel free to contact me anytime.”
Noah also knew that he couldn’t let the Welch Group go bankrupt. Otherwise, how would they deal with the Garcia family in the future?
Inside the villa.
Chloe looked at Finn pitifully and said, “Finn, my stomach doesn’t feel very well. Can I go back to the room and

rest for a while?”
“Go ahead. I warn you not to run around. The servants at home will be watching you.” “I certainly won’t.”
After Chloe returned to the bedroom and closed the door, she took out her phone and dialed her dad’s contact number. His phone was turned off.
She thought, “Damn it. Did Dad really get caught by Alice?
She couldn’t just sit and wait for death.
Chloe suddenly remembered what Ethan had just said. Aviana disappeared?
She thought for a moment and decided to call Max directly. She heard Max’s impatient voice.“Why would you think of calling me? Did you get kicked out of the Welch family and come to borrow money from me?” Max knew what happened at Chloe’s wedding banquet. These past few days, Chloe had been missing and hadn’t attended
any classes. Most likely, she had been kicked out by the Welch family.
After all, not everyone could come to the business school.
Chloe’s face turned cold.“Did your mother go missing?”
“Do you want to laugh at me? Let me tell you. My mother would be found soon!”
“I knew who kidnapped your mother!”
Chloe’s eyes were icy cold. She was determined to destroy Alice.
