Alice became less calm again.
But compared to the last time, she was much more composed this time.
“I will immediately arrange for someone to start.”
Jack immediately arranged for the people around him to start closing in. After all, everyone had been keeping an eye on the automobile store during this period, and they wouldn’t let anyone escape.
After Jack had given all the instructions, he took the cell phone and said, “I didn’t expect you to get the portrait so quickly.” Yeah, I didn’t expect it either. I have to thank Finn for this.”
Alice walked alone on the road, planning to walk out and then take a taxi.
Jack heard the sound of her speaking and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you?”
“I am outside, getting ready to take a taxi and leave. I got the portrait, so I don’t want to stay at that place anymore and see these people.” Alice only thought about catching Darren as soon as possible.
She wanted to see the murderer caught.
Jack, however, was concerned about Alice’s safety.“Don’t take a taxi. Wait for me to pick you up, and we will go together.”
“Okay.”
Alice didn’t refuse. Anyway, she was going to take a taxi and meet Jack.
come.
In the evening, Alice stood on the roadside outside the villa area, waiting for Jack to
The people here used to come and go mostly in their own cars, so there were no buses or metro here, only taxis were available.
Alice canceled the order on the ride–hailing app and stared at the sky by the roadside.
By using her previous life and this life, she finally got her revenge.
At that moment, a taxi stopped in front of Alice.
Alice glanced and said, “I canceled the car reservation.”

come over because the distance was long.
She thought that there was
The taxi driver said reluctantly, “But I have already come here. Miss, it is very unfavorable for me when you suddenly cancel the ride. After all, I am not like you wealthy people. I earn my money through hard work.”
After listening to these words, Alice felt like she had been morally kidnapped.
She looked at the driver and said, “First of all, I canceled the order within the agreed time and didn’t delay for long. When I checked the map, you were still about two miles away from here. There was no way you could have made it in a short time.”
After all, there were fewer people taking taxis in this area.
If she had canceled the order, it wouldn’t have been a problem for that driver. After all, there was a commercial area about two miles away, and there would only be more people taking taxis.
The driver immediately became a little impatient and said, “But I have already come here now. If you cancel the order, I will have to go back. Won’t I be driving an empty car? Miss, people like us, who are poor, can’t compare to wealthy people like you. How much money will I lose by wasting time?”
Alice’s mood was quite good today, and she didn’t want to get too entangled with the driver. While looking at the driver, she said, “What exactly do you want?”
“Then you just get in the car according to the original order. I will take you there, and you can transfer the fare to me,”
“But I have someone to pick me up, so I don’t need to take a taxi.”
Alice was kind, so she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.“Isn’t there compensation for canceling the order due to overtime? I’ll send you 5 dollars through the software backend, would that be okay?”
Although she canceled the order within the time, she didn’t want to bother with it anymore and decided to just send some money to resolve the
matter.
“No, that won’t do. How can a few dollars compensate me? Anyway, the person who is supposed to pick you up hasn’t arrived yet, so why don’t I just give you a ride?”
It seemed like the driver wanted her to get in the car.
After hearing this, Alice finally looked at the driver seriously and said, “I don’t need you to take me anywhere. Since you don’t care about the

money as compensation, then forget it.”
“Why are you like this? Do you look down on hardworking people like us? If it weren’t for you, why would I have come here empty–handed?– Today has really been a stroke of bad luck.”
The driver had a complaining expression.
Alice began to doubt when she heard the driver’s muttering.
She took out her cell phone, opened the previous order, and checked the license plate number. She became alert, “The license plate of the car l just called is completely different from yours, you are not the car 1 called, who are you?” Alice looked at the driver with a vigilant expression.
No wonder the driver was so difficult to deal with. If the guy was a car driver, he wouldn’t have been wasting time here.
After Alice exposed the driver’s identity, the driver became a little flustered, and he immediately grumbled, “Why are you complaining when you recognize the wrong car?
After the driver finished speaking, he immediately drove away.
But Alice felt that something was not quite right. She looked around and there was no one else.
Now she was the only one standing by the roadside.
If the driver misunderstood that she was a passenger, then he would continue to wait. How could the driver possibly get angry and drive away?
Alice thought there was something fishy about this matter.
Fortunately, Jack said he would come to pick her up, so she canceled the order. If the driver had come first, she would have likely gotten into the wrong car, and it went without saying what would have happened in the end.
Alice wondered who this driver was.
She thought for a moment, mostly related to the Garcia family.
Perhaps it was also involved with Darren.
After more than ten minutes, Jack’s car stopped in front of Alice.
After Alice got in the car, she asked, “How is the arrangement over there? Will Darren receive the news and escape in advance?” The last time, Alice was so confident that she could catch Darren, but unfortunately, in the end, she fell short and only caught that accomplice, not Darren.
“No, my men checked the automobile store, and that guy is still there.”
“That’s good.”

Jack knew from Alice’s expression that there must be another reason.
Alice looked up and met Jack’s glance. Eventually, she recounted the thing with the driver that had just happened. After listening to it, Jack suddenly got serious and quickly said, “Do you still remember the license plate number of the taxi? I will have someone check to see if it is just a coincidence.”
Alice told Jack the license plate number and said, “I wonder if someone from the Garcia family has noticed something. After all, your mother found out that it was you who did it. It’s been so many days; maybe the Garcia family has received some information and discovered some clues.”
“Even if they knew, so what? They were the ones who made the mistake, not us.”
The words made Alice feel strange.
But she didn’t mention it.
Jack looked at her and said, “As long as we catch Darren, then we can let Aviana go back.”
“It should indeed be done this way; otherwise, if the Garcia family were to report to the police, this matter would escalate and it would not be worth it, which would not be good for you either.”
The Garcia family had not called the police yet, which was a case of being cautious. As time went by, it could no longer be guaranteed what the Garcia family would do.

“Are you worried about me?”
Alice subconsciously avoided Jack’s glance and said, “At least we have the same goal.”
Jack became very nervous. “Then you must always remember that we are on the same boat. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side.” Jack’s words felt more strange to Alice.
Alice looked at Jack and said, “Is there something else you haven’t told me?”
There is indeed one thing.”
