Chapter 428
Alice angrily looked at Ethan. “Dare you go back and say such words in front of our parents‘ portraits?”
“Alice, don’t pretend to be high–hearted”

Ethan pulled a chair and sat down, looking somewhat dejected. “You have someone to rely on, so everything is easy for you. But it’s not the same for me. Do you know how many difficulties I have experienced in running my company over the years?”
Alice stood still. “You could have not started a company and lived off the fortune left by our parents for the rest of your life. In the end, it’s all because of your ambition. It has nothing to do with our parents.”
I wanted to uncover the truth behind the car accident.”
You found out the truth now. But you want to take money from the Garcia family. Stop being hypocritical.”
Alice stared at Ethan.“I know you are an arrogant and hypocritical man with double standards. But I never expected that you would even lose your basic self–respect when it comes to the death of our parents.”
“Self–respect doesn’t bring me any benefits.”
Ethan’s eyes were cold. “The Welch Group is currently facing a financial crisis. You caught that driver, but you refused to tell me any clues. Do you think I would just wait without doing anything?
“Do you believe what Julia said? Do you think it was the driver’s own decision and had nothing to do with the Garcia family?”
“I wouldn’t easily believe Julia’s words, but I also want to investigate it myself and find out. Hand over that driver.”
Ethan had been waiting for so long, and he couldn’t wait any longer.
The Welch Group couldn’t wait any longer. He urgently needed to know the whereabouts of the money and also wanted to find out if the money could be recovered.
Alice looked at Ethan.“That money has been used for gambling. Not a penny is left. The driver back then owed a lot of money because of gambling, which is why he was bribed by Aviana.”
“Alice, do you think I would believe your word alone? After all, you are also eager to see my company encounter problems!”
After hearing this news, Ethan looked at Alice with suspicion and said, “I want to go and ask that driver myself!”
“You are not qualified now.”
When Alice turned around to leave the private room, she was stopped by a black–clad bodyguard.
She took a glance and found that there were quite a few of them.
It was a bit difficult for her to defeat so many people alone.
Ethan stood up and said, “Alice, you have only two options now. Either you take me to meet that driver yourself or I tie you up and take you
there.”
Alice sneered, “Even if you kidnap me, you won’t be able to see him.”
“Alice! Don’t think that just because you’re my sister, you can be so arrogant. If it were someone else, I would have a hundred ways to deal with
you!”
Ethan was so angry that his eyes turned red. When had he ever been threatened like this?
Wasn’t it easy to deal with a woman?
But this woman happened to be Alice, and he couldn’t use those despicable means.
Alice stood still, with an indifferent expression on her face.“Throughout all these years, haven’t you come up with countless ways to deal with
me?”
Ethan felt a dull pain in his chest as he angrily said, “Alice, I said I never considered reconciling with the Garcia family. It was just a negotiation. Don’t be deceived!”
“But I could tell that you wavered. You wanted the money!”
Alice was not blind, so how could she not see it?
Ethan angrily stepped forward and grabbed Alice’s neck, saying, “This is my business. It’s not your turn to interfere!”

“Hand off her
Merg
A cold voice came, and before Laban could see what the speaker looked like, he was punched in the face, causing him to release Alice in pain. Alice landed in a broad and warm embrace, and as she looked up, she saw that handsome and familiar face, which inexplicably made her feel at
Jack came.
He reached out and held Alice in his arms, his gaze towards Ethan extremely cold.
Jack’s thin lips parted as he coldly spoke. “I have warned you all earlier not to take liberties with her again!
When Erhan saw Jack, he was startled for a mome, and then his expression became extremely unfathomable.
As a man, Ethan could tell that Jack treated Alice very well.
Who would have thought that the noble son of the Wilson family would fall in love with his younger sister?
Unfortunately, his relationship with Alice was very bad.
Ethan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “Alice is my younger sister. Who do you think you are?”
Ethan received a fast and fierce punch.
He was in so much pain that he could hardly stand steady. He bent over and covered his nose as if enduring immense pain.
Alice stood by Jack’s side and witnessed him punching Ethan.
Jack’s action was fast and fierce.
He took a step forward and stared at Ethan, saying, “Alice is mine. Dare you to take liberties with her again, you’ll know what awaits you. Believe me or not, I will make it impossible for your family to stay in Washington anymore!”
“Wow, how amazing!”
Ethan covered his nose and looked up, blood flowing out.“Alice, you found a powerful backer. You won.
“IF King worked so hard for all these years, but I still couldn’t compare to a woman who managed to attach herself to a more powerful man. If
I were a woman, maybe I would have already investigated the truth behind the car accident.”
Alice raised her hand and slapped Ethan!
Her eyes were cold and indifferent as she said, “I slapped you for my parents.”
“Did I say something wrong? If it weren’t for Jack, how could you have found out about the truth so quickly? What do you have to compete with the Garcia family?”
Jack couldn’t help but speak up.“Alice didn’t solely rely on me. She is much more excellent than you all think.”
“Mr. Wilson, if it hadn’t been for you always supporting Alice, she wouldn’t have cut ties with her family right after the SAT.
“Ethan, it has always been you who can’t live without Alice, not her who can’t live without you!”
Jack was very angry at Ethan’s words.
It was Darren who had planned the car accident, and all of that had nothing to do with Alice.
But the people from the Welch family still treated Alice like that.
Ethan lowered his head, his expression inscrutable.
Alice watched as Ethan went crazy, and she spoke.“You want to meet Darren, right?”
Ethan’s gaze paused for a moment.“Yes.”
Alice nodded.“Okay, I’ll take you to see him.”
Jack did not stop him but arranged for someone to blindfold Ethan’s eyes, at least not letting him know where Darren was.
Ethan sat in the back seat, pursing his thin lips and remaining silent.
Alice glanced sideways at Jack. Although she wanted to ask him why he was there, she refrained from speaking because Ethan was also present.
Half an hour later, the car came to a stop.
Ethan was taken inside.

Alice stepped forward and took off the blindfold, saying, “He is locked in the basement.”
Ethan looked up and saw the door to the basement. He walked straight in and indeed saw the man who had been tied to the chair.
Sure enough, he looked just like how Chloe had described. Ethan recognized him at first sight.
He went straight up to him and grabbed his neck, saying, “Do you remember who I am?”
