Alice looked at Jack and asked, “What exactly happened?
She suddenly recalled that before this, he’d seemed to say the same thing to her. But later, for some reason, she’d forgotten to ask. Jack looked at Alice earnestly and said, “This isn’t the right time. I’ll tell you when Darren’s taken to the police station. This is the most crucial thing right now.”
After all, by then he’d have to be a witness to identify the Garcia family.
By that time, Alice would surely know everything.
Alice couldn’t help but wonder, “Since Aviana and Amber are best friends. Did Jack have some other plans? “Since he wasn’t willing to say now, there must be a reason.”
Alice didn’t press the matter further.
As for Jack did so many things for her, even kidnapping Aviana, it would be a lie if she felt no gratitude towards him. Moreover, Amber must have known about this by now, and surely she despised Alice in her heart.
If she wanted to be with Jack, receiving Amber’s acceptance wouldn’t be easy.
Alice looked up at him and said, “After I left that day, your mother came looking for you. What did you two talk about?” It was easy to guess that Amber must be very angry about this.
“It’s nothing much. I just told her all about the Garcia family’s affairs. She wouldn’t send her son to jail for the sake of her best friend.” Hearing these words, Alice was silent for a long time.
Alice remembered that Noah had said he’d done so many things with Jack’s help. How would he repay Jack in the future? “What’s wrong? Are you upset? My mother won’t do anything. You don’t need to worry.”
After all, it was Jack who kidnapped Aviana. If his mother wanted to expose this and stand up for her best friend, he’d be the first to suffer. So Jack was confident his mother wouldn’t do such a thing.
Alice suddenly turned to look out the window. Her voice choked a bit as she said, “It’s nothing.”
At this moment, her eyes were filled with restlessness. Jack was good to her now.
But Alice also knew things between them would not go that smoothly.
Jack noticed the change in the vibe between them.
He said sincerely, “After Darren’s caught, can we have a proper talk?”
There were some things he wanted to clarify with Chloe.
Sunlight streamed in through the car window, making his features more distinct, and his deep eyes were unreadable.
This was the first time Alice heard Jack talk to her so seriously about this.
She knew he wanted to talk about their relationship.
During this time, neither of them mentioned their previous conflicts and disagreements, as if nothing had happened.
But Alice knew some things didn’t just go away with only ignoring them.
Now Jack had kidnapped Aviana, and Amber knew about it. No matter how she thought about it, it seemed like a big hassle.

was truly grateful for what Jack had done for her. If she backed out
She turned to him and nodded earnestly, her gaze determined.“Okay.”
Once everything was settled, they’d talk about their relationship.
Even if everyone objected, she was willing to go through difficulties with him.
Jack saw her nod and, unable to help himself, grabbed her hand.“Alice, thank you…”
He murmured inside, “Thank you for giving me another chance.”
Alice’s heart started beating faster.
She felt his slightly warm palm and his intense gaze, which she couldn’t resist.
Alice lowered her head and said, “I’m not blind. I know you did a lot.”
Jack was a bit flustered.

Just then, the vehicle stopped.
Jack glanced outside, and his gentle expression faded “We’re here,” he said.
Alice looked out the window. “Has he been caught?” she asked.
Jack glanced at the person in the passenger seat, and only then did that person turn and say respectfully, He’s been caught Over Bew Alice’s heart skipped a beat.

Jack said softly, “They might be tough, but the person we caught earlier is still at the casino, Sooner or later, they’ll say something” Everyone has weaknesses if they’re human.
“But Darren’s acting strange. He must know his cousin’s been missing for ages, yet he’s stayed at the 45 shop without running, is he that confident we won’t find him?”
Jack said humbly, “I find it strange too, unless he didn’t get the money,”
“That can’t be. Wasn’t the money transferred? Most likely, it’s in Darren’s hands!”
Alice couldn’t figure it out either if Darren didn’t get the money.
So, who took the money?

sce.”
Alice took a deep breath and got out of the car with Jack. She saw it was a small factory.
She walked in with Jack, and someone led the way.
Elena was already there. When she saw Alice arrive, she said directly, “Our people have asked, but Darren didn’t say anything. He said he wanted to talk to the mastermind in person.”
Alice’s tone turned cold.“Then let’s go see what he’s up to.”
She also wanted to know why he did that back then!
Alice walked into the small room and saw Darren, his features indeed altered, tied up.
Alice looked at Darren.“I didn’t expect you’d have plastic surgery. But that day you wore a human–skin mask to meet Chloe. Were you worried she wouldn’t recognize you?”
After speaking, Alice kept observing Darren’s expression.

The man fell silent.
Alice walked closer. “You know who I am. No need to pretend. That time, you sent someone to the Welch house to kill the old butler Davis for helping Chloe.”
“I didn’t expect it was you. But how did you find out, about the plastic surgery?”
Darren thought he’d been very careful.
“Of course, it was your daughter Chloe who told me. She described your appearance, and that’s how the portrait was drawn.” Alice also opened the photo album and showed him the portrait.
When Darren saw the photo, his expression changed.“You forced her to do this, didn’t you? I did it back then. Don’t bother her!*
