Chapter 149
“Ethan, you can check the café’s surveillance footage.”
Noah said, looking at Chloe.“The footage will show her kneeling and begging and confirm what I said.”
Chloe was nervous, sweating on her forehead.
Ethan frowned. “Noah, I’ll believe you this time. If the footage doesn’t prove what you say, I won’t trust you anymore.”
“Alright.”
Noah said coldly to Chloe,“Are you still going to lie?”
“Noah, I’m telling the truth.”
Chloe didn’t dare to look into Noah’s eyes, and she wouldn’t admit it,
If the footage was recovered, she had to come up with an excuse,
She had lost Noah’s trust, so she had to keep Ethan’s.
Maybe, she should try contacting that guy. She held the fruit tray.“Ethan, I’ll wash some fruit for you.”
“Stop! You must not leave until we get the footage. You might contact the Garcias.”
Noah knew Chloe couldn’t do much, but the Garcia family could.
Chloe had to stand where she was, panicked. She felt that the time had slowed down.
Soon, Ethan received a call from his secretary.“Did you get the footage?”
“What? The coffee shop was on fire last night and the footage was burned?”
Ethan felt that this whole thing was strange.
Chloe heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this news. Great! She could escape from this!
She didn’t know if it was that man or the Garcia family.
Anyway, she was safe now.
Chloe noticed Noah’s gaze and shrank back.“Noah, you don’t think I did it, do you? I was at the hospital with you all night. I wouldn’t dare to set fire!”
“You can’t do that, but the Garcia family can! You contacted them! Otherwise, how could they know about the footage so early?”
Noah took out his phone.“Though the footage was burned, we had a witness!”
A video was played. It was about an employee of the café.
Chloe was panicking. It was impossible!
“I saw four people arguing. A girl took out a laptop and clicked on a footage. Another girl knelt and begged. It seemed she’d done something wrong and been caught.”
Chloe trembled and almost lost her balance.
Noah looked over.“How are you going to explain it?”
Chloe turned to Ethan.“Ethan, the laptop had the bar footage, but the Garcia family deleted the part about Max. Alice pressured me to testify.”
“I was scared! The Garcia family would get me.”

“Nosh pressured me too, and I had to kneel and beg for mercy,”
Noah said coldly, “Chloe, you’re lying!”
“I’m not! Alice said hurtful things to push us and provoke Noah. It caused him to faint, did you forget that?”
Chloe sobbed and wiped her tears. “If you think I did it, I’ll turn myself in.”
She turned around and ran out of the ward.
She had to leave, or she wouldn’t know what Noah would do to her.
Ethan said angrily, “How could you say this to Chloe? You can’t make her take the blame for Alice! The Garcia family did iff”
“Ethan, Chloe isn’t who she seems. I discovered this only after seeing the video.”
“Look after yourself. Chloe will stay with me. You don’t need to worry about her.”
Ethan left the ward in a hurry after saying this.
Seeing that Ethan didn’t believe him, Noah spat out a mouthful of blood in fury.
He deserved this!
“Noah, you’re spitting blood!”
Luke helped him up.“I saw Ethan leave with Chloe. What happened? He said you wanted to put Chloe in prison for Alice!”
“Luke, do you believe me?”
“Of course.”
Noah recounted the events at the café.“This is the whole story. The footage is gone, so Ethan doesn’t believe me.”
Luke was conflicted.
“Noah, I wanted to believe you. If I hadn’t seen the video, I wouldn’t believe that Chloe was scheming enough to drug Alice. It’s unbelievable!”
“I know you can’t accept it in a short time. Even I didn’t believe it until I saw the footage!” Noah’s face was pale and he found it hard to breathe. “But you can’t easily believe Chloe anymore.”
“She’s not a good person.”
Noah’s aggrieved look stopped Luke from speaking the words at the tip of his
Luke nodded.“OK, I promise.”
However, he was suspicious of a misunderstanding between Alice and Chloe.
Noah looked very ill.
tongue.
Noah grasped Luke’s hand. “Find out why Alice asked for sick leave and where she’s hospitalized. Tell her, even if I die, I’ll get justice for her!”
He owed everything to Alice!
Luke had to agree. After he left the ward, he began to figure out where Alice stayed.
He tried to contact Alice but found she’d blocked him.
So, he had to call Alice, but only to find that his number was blacklisted.
He realized he had been separated from Alice.

He used a different number to call her, and the call quickly connected.“Alice, it’s me.”
Alice said in a cold tongue after hearing his voice.“What?”
“Noah’s in the hospital and he’s really sick. He’s worried about you. Come see him if you have time.”
“Chloe is with him. I don’t need to go.”
“Noah doesn’t like Chloe anymore. He chased her away already.”
Luke thought about what Noah had said.“Alice, was Chloe the one who drugged you at the bar?”
“Did you see the footage?”
“No. Noah said the USB drive was missing. He suspects Chloe, but there’s no proof,”
Alice had guessed this.
What a coincidence!
“Chloe’s lucky enough to escape.”
Luke couldn’t help interrupting her, “Is there a misunderstanding? Did she really do that?”
He was still doubtful.
“Go back and tell Chloe she got lucky this time. This isn’t over. Tell her to watch out!”
Alice hung up. She didn’t bother to talk to Luke anymore.
She looked at Andrew “Noah’s USB drive was taken by Chloe.”
“Bad luck that Noah fainted so Chloe could have a chance. Since the footage is gone, we can’t do anything.”
Alice smirked.“No. Even if we don’t have the footage, I have an idea.”
She wouldn’t let this go.
