“What evidence do you have?”
Noah asked Alice, “The footage was deleted. My people say it can’t be recovered. The García family probably deleted it beforehand.”
Without the footage, there was no proof.
Noah didn’t know what Alice could use.
You’ll see.”
Alice got into a taxi and left,
She didn’t want to talk too much with Noah for fear of causing trouble.
Once Alice presented the evidence, everyone would see Chloe’s true colors, and Alice wanted them to disappear from
her life forever.
Noah looked at the discarded gift bag, he smiled wryly.
Noah thought, “Both Alice and Chloe are important. I can’t accuse Chloe without proof.”
Chloe went out of school.
“Noah, I was asleep and missed your call. I know where Alice lives. I can take you there, but she might not want to see
you.”
She saw the gift bag.“Did you see her already?”
Chloe thought, “Had Alice said anything?”
Noah stared at Chloe.“Yes, I saw Alice.”
Noah remembered hearing Chloe’s sarcastic words toward Alice in the classroom. She was so different from her usual
image.
Noah thought, “Is Chloe truly as sweet and obedient as she seemed?”
Chloe was stunned. She said, “What did she say about the bar incident?”
Chloe was nervous.
She thought, “The Garcia family deleted the footage. As long as I denied it, no one can prove anything.
That’s how it has always been. Without proof, the brothers wouldn’t believe Alice.”
Noah loosened his tie and said deliberately, “She said she found the evidence from the bar that night.”
Chloe was surprised.
Chloe panicked. She thought, “Impossible!
The Garcia family ensured there were no loose ends.”
Noah didn’t say more, turning to leave.
Chloe hurried after him.“Noah, are you looking for Alice? I’ll come with you. I’m worried about her.”
Noah looked at her and said, “That night at the bar, did you do nothing?”
“Noah, you suspect me? Maybe Alice told you something, but I didn’t hurt her.”
Chloe put on her usual act of innocent victimhood.

Noah was exasperated.“Get in the car!”
He wanted to know who was lying.
Chloe was secretly delighted. She thought, “I have to know what evidence Alice has to prepare a countermeasure
I think Alice was bluffing.”
Alice arrived at the appointed café.
It was early and the streets were quiet.
She saw someone with a laptop. Alice thought it was J.
J had said he’d have a laptop.
Alice took a deep breath, approaching the table. The profile looked familiar.
Sitting down, she saw the familiar, handsome face.
She was shocked.“Jack? Why are you here?”
“Surprised? I didn’t know you liked finding mentors on the Mysterious Web.”
Jack had been almost certain of her identity when Alice walked in.
“I didn’t know you were J.”
Alice was surprised.
Jack sat up straighter and said, “It’s early in the morning. Eat something first.”
Jack ordered milk and mini cakes.
Alice wasn’t hungry, focusing on his laptop.“Is the footage recovered?”
“Yes, but eat first. The video and the culprit aren’t going anywhere.”
Alice ate a few bites.“I should have contacted you directly.”
“Why didn’t you tell me this was dangerous?”
“I didn’t want to involve you. You’re leaving soon. This would disrupt your life!”
Alice didn’t want Jack to get into trouble with wealthy people.
Jack knew what Alice was thinking, but he couldn’t tell her what he was.
He opened his laptop. “The video is here.”
Alice was excited. The video showed Chloe spraying something on her,
Besides, Max and her bodyguards tried to catch her.
Alice smiled.“Thank you.”
This evidence was perfect!
With this, Max and Chloe were trapped.
Noah strode in.“Alice, why are you meeting with this doctor?”
Noah hadn’t expected that he would find Alice here and she had a good chat with Jack.
He’d thought she was looking for evidence at the bar.
Noah thought, “Could this doctor help recover footage?”

Chloe followed, feigning concern.“Alice, Noah’s trying to help. There are plenty of eligible bachelors in Washington. Why are you with this poor doctor?”
She was worried Alice had the footage.
Alice took a mini cake and smashed it onto Chloe’s face when she saw her.
Past and present grievances all at once!
Chloe screamed.
Alice said angrily, “Compared to what you sprayed on me at the bar, this cake is nothing!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Chloe was nervous but refused to confess.
The Garcia family had deleted the footage. Chloe believed that Alice had no proof.
Noah was shocked.“Alice, you said Chloe sprayed something on you at the bar?”
Noah thought, “Impossible. Chloe wouldn’t do that.”
“Yes, a date–rape drug. Max was there and sent bodyguards to get me. Luckily, I ran into Jack.
“Otherwise, you’d be seeing me, raped and filmed!”
Alice’s eyes were filled with fury.
Noah turned to Chloe.“Why didn’t you tell me this?”
Noah couldn’t believe that Chloe had concealed the truth.
Chloe explained, “Noah, I didn’t do these. Alice is talking nonsense. She disliked me all the time and wanted me to be driven out of the Welch family.”
Chloe acted like an innocent girl. But with a cake on her face, she looked funny.
Noah turned serious and asked, “I ask you for the last time. Whether Alice’s words are true or not?”
“Noah, I didn’t do it! Alice’s lying! She has no evidence!”
Chloe, with cake on her face, looked pathetic as she backed away.
“Who says I don’t have evidence? I recovered the deleted footage!*
Alice clicked play.
Seeing the video, Chloe was desperate.
Chloe thought, ‘It’s over.
Everything is over. I am doomed.”
