Chapter 416

After Alice spoke, the expressions on everyone’s faces shifted dramatically.
Chloe was also shocked.
She believed no one was aware of this. When she realized her father hadn’t been caught, she knew he had undergone plastic surgery, but she thought Alice hadn’t.
To her astonishment, Alice was already aware of it.
Chloe looked up to explain, “I really didn’t know…”
“I didn’t hide it
on purpose.
Alice slapped her again.“You’re lying. You clearly know about
Pain flared on Chloe’s face. Too guilty to speak, she glanced at Finn.“Finn, I…”
Finn grabbed her hand. Tell the truth. Did you know about your father’s surgery?”

Chloe’s mind raced.
Admitting this now would ruin her life with the Welch family.
Damn Alice, she somehow found out. Chloe worried they’d soon catch her father.
Finn looked at Chloe intently and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I assumed you knew, so I stayed silent.”
Chloe looked at Finn with a sad and pitiful expression.“I didn’t mean any harm.”

over Chloe.
It was a perfect chance.
Chloe’s expression froze. She hadn’t expected this.
Alice glared at Chloe.“Speak!”
Chloe took a deep gulp and said, ‘I don’t know how to describe it!”
“Tell us what your father looks like after the surgery. Don’t you get it?
Alice eyed her coldly. “Or are you refusing to tell us?
Noah noticed Chloe’s hesitation and seemed to understand her thoughts. He spoke coldly, “Chloe, if you won’t talk or if you lie, it means you’re siding with your father. Don’t blame us for being tough on you.*
Ethan added, “I’ll report you for embezzling funds. That money is still missing. Your father probably took it and won’t return.”
“No!”
Chloe felt out of control. Her father wouldn’t leave her.
Alice scoffed dismissively, “Your father is a gambler. He wasn’t good to you as a child, was he? He hit you when he lost and got drunk. That’s why your mom left!”
After Alice spoke, she saw Chloe’s expression falter.
This showed Chloe didn’t fully trust her father.
Alice continued, “If you help us catch him, it proves you’re not on his side. Then what happened years ago won’t affect you, and his imprisonment won’t impact you either.”
Finn nodded in agreement.“Chloe, Alice is right. You’re my wife and part of the Welch family. You need to choose wisely.” Finn valued the child Chloe carried but deeply hated her father.
If not for the car accident years ago, he wouldn’t be disabled now!
If Chloe hadn’t conceived his child, he wouldn’t have let her stay in the Welch family.
Everyone was now staring at Chloe.
Alice smirked, “You’re hesitating, aren’t you? You still don’t want to describe your father’s current appearance after the surgery to us, right? “No, no, I’ve only seen him once and don’t remember dearly.”
Chloe felt a sense of unease, suspecting that Alice was framing her, but she had no concrete proof. Currently, she was under close surveillance

by the Welch family, and even her phone had been taken away.
“At least you can recall his general features, right?
Alice glanced at Buhan and Noah’Get someone to sketch‘

Alice turned her

“What do you mean?
“If the drawing resembles your father, it means you were honest before. If it’s way off, it means you’re lying and have always sided with your father:
Alice stared at Chloe, her gaze piercing.
Chloe dearly looked guilty.
Suddenly.
Ethan looked

Alice’s lips curled coldly, “You can guess.”
Ethan frowned.“Alice, this is no time for jokes”
Hearing this, Chloe looked at Alice in horror. Was Alice testing her?
If she had lied just now, wouldn’t she have implicated herself?
What a malicious bitch!
Alice paused for a bit, then said, “If Chloe is not guilty, she won’t be scared. Let’s just wait and see what Chloe will say.”
She intentionally shot a look at Chloe, leaving her in the dark about her dad being caught
Chloe was really unsure.
If her dad wasn’t already caught by Alice, wouldn’t giving her the portrait just help her track him down easier?
Chloe looked to Finn for help.“Finn, L…”
“Quickly describe
your father’s appearance. I want to know whose side you’re on.”
Finn’s stance was firm this time.
Alice looked at Finn with a start but remembered he was always trying to help Chloe, SO she stayed on alert.
Still, it was Finn who gave her the chance to bring it up this time.
Soon, the art teacher Noah called arrived.
Alice looked at Chloe.“You describe, he draws.”
Reluctantly, Chloe knew she couldn’t avoid this.
Alice watched as Finn stayed close to Chloe, his gaze locked on the portrait with hatred.
If Darren hadn’t taken the bribe to cause their parents‘ death, the Welch family wouldn’t have gone through all that mess, and Finn wouldn’t have ended up disabled.
Finn must really hate Darren; that was why he was so keen on seeing him.
Alice stood by, observing the scene.
Noah whispered, “Alice, honestly, have you caught that driver?”
Alice looked up, noticing Ethan was also there, listening.
She replied calmly, “You’ll know soon.”
Ethan said, “You don’t need to hide it from us right now. We trust you and no longer believe in Chloe.”
Noah nodded in agreement.“Yes, Alice, we already believe you. You don’t need to go to such lengths to keep it from us.”
“You’re really being a bit too caught up in yourself.”
Alice said with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, “You’ve been totally out of it for a while now, totally missing what’s right in front of you. It’s not worth me bothering to try and figure out what’s going on in your head.“.
Ethan and Noah immediately stopped talking.
An hour later, the portrait of Darren was finished.
Alice glanced at it and then asked
Chloe, “Are

is accurate and
not you’re
