Chapter 251
Alice had made preparations for many accidents at this conference, but not this one.
What a bad surprise!
Alice shot one glance at the TG team, so Elena stopped the last reporter from leaving “May I ask why all of you are leaving?”
“I am sorry, Ms. McMorrow. I love to stay, but my boss urged me to leave with a call.”
“Could you please tell me the real reason?”
The reporter said after a moment of hesitation, “I don’t know yet. I will let you know after I straighten things out.”
Then, the last reporter left the press conference.
Sitting on a chair, Alice looked at Elena and said, “It is a trick against me. The Welch brothers must be ignorant of this press conference, so who called all the reporters away?”
Alice didn’t think that the Welch brothers were so influential in Washington.
The boss behind the scenes must be somebody else.
Elena thought for a moment before she said, “I have one candidate in mind, and that is the Parker family. Are you at odds with the Parker family?”
“Impossible. I don’t know them at all.”
Alice didn’t have any interaction with the Parker family, even in her last life.
“It is odd. Take it easy, Ms. Welch. I will go find out the reason right away.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Then, Alice saw Ethan strut into the hall with his men.
At the sight of Ethan, Alice had a rough idea of the real reason.
When did Ethan become so powerful? It was weird.
Ethan walked to Alice, occupied the chair she had taken, and said with the microphone, “Hello, everyone.”
Alice turned her head and gazed at Ethan.“Were you behind this?”
“Alice, you greatly disappoint me. How could you hold a press conference? You want to get Caleb exposed, don’t you? What a pity that you lost
the chance.”
Ethan burned the speech draft prepared by Alice.
He stared at her.“I warned you not to make a fuss, but you set your mind to go against me.”
Watching her speech draft burn, Alice said, “I didn’t know that you are so influential in Washington.”
Ethan put down the microphone and threatened, “Alice, don’t try to talk to the public because nobody will buy your story. Nobody will attend your press conference, like your one today.”
Chloe said hypocritically, “Alice, why are you against your own family? What is the good of your ruining Caleb?”
“Shut up. All your fault.”
The press conference Alice had pinned hope on was ruined.
For the first time in her life, Alice was impressed by power and influence.
Chloe shut her mouth aggrievedly.
Ethan snapped, “Alice, what Chloe said is right. Because you are headstrong, my investigation into our parents‘ death is interrupted.”
Chloe’s expression changed drastically.
What did Ethan mean? Was he still investigating the car accident that had killed the Welch couple?
Did he also think that the car accident was dubious? Or did he suspect that Chloe’s father was still alive?
Alice recalled her last life and concluded that Ethan had found out nothing.

Did Ethan try to manipulate her with their parents‘ death as an excuse?

After one meaningful glance at Chloe, Alice said, “Mr. Welch, are you suggesting that you have doubts about that car accident? If so, Chloe’s father is the suspect!”
“Alice, what are you talking about? My father is already dead.”
Chloe’s voice changed for fear.“W2
does the Welch family know?” Chloe wondered.
Chloe had been calm because few people knew that her father was still alive. She didn’t find out that secret till her father personally called her.
She had firmly believed that the Welch family was ignorant of that secret, so she was aghast at the information of Ethan’s investigation. Had Ethan found anything?
“Who hacked into my phone? Alice? Ethan?” Chloe wondered.
Alice looked at the pale–faced Chloe with a half smile and thought, “She is scared. She didn’t know that we had been investigating the truth of that car accident all these years.”
Frowning, Ethan opened his mouth and said, “Alice, Chloe’s father died, so how can he be the suspect?”
“He may be alive since the car accident is dubious.”
After this reply, Alice stared at Chloe and asked, “What do you think?”
“I, my
father is dead. Alice, your slander is so hurtful. If my father survived that car accident, and so could your parents.”
Chloe was witty and firmly insisted that her father had died.
The Welch family had doubts about the car accident and no evidence about the truth.
Red–eyed, Chloe gazed at Ethan and sobbed, “Ethan, Alice can curse at me at will, but not at my dead father.”
Ethan was softened by Chloe’s sad look..
He quickly reproached Alice.“You have gone too far. How could you slander a dead man!”
A dead man?
Alice was amused because Chloe’s father was still alive.
“Alice, you keep talking about my dead father, so are you suspecting that he is still alive? To be honest, I wish him to be.”
Chloe tried to sound Alice out.
Alice coldly stared at Chloe.“Yes, can’t I? Why are you so anxious? Does your guilty conscience stir?”
“No. Your delusion is inconceivable to me. You lost your parents in that car accident, and I lost my father. I thought you know how I feel.”
Chloe pretended to be sensible and tough. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief because Alice didn’t seem serious about the suspicion.
She thought, “If Alice were the hacker, she would have heard my chat with Dad.
“However, Alice didn’t mention that. Obviously, she has no evidence or found nothing.”
Right then, Elena reappeared in the hall and walked to Alice.“Mystery solved. It is Mrs. Parker who called all the reporters away.”
The Parker family, the monopoly of the media?
There was no connection between the Parker family and the Welch family, according to Alice’s memory.
Ethan sneered.“Alice, you now know that I gave you mercy, don’t you? You will have yourself to blame if you are as stubb
This bluffing gave Alice the chills.
Looking at Ethan, Alice said, “Why are you so anxious to hush me? Scared, aren’t you?”
“Alice, how can you still talk tough? I can ruin you with just one call.”
After the threat, Ethan strutted away.
before.”
Chloe deliberately lingered behind and said to Alice, “Are you interested in the relationship between Ethan and the Parker family?”
“I don’t need you to tell me. I will find that out myself.”

Chloe then showed off her expensive dress which made her look sexy. She said smugly, “I will tell you if you beg me.” In your dream!” Alice thought.
After one glance at Chloe’s impressive breasts, Alice stretched her hand and snatched the breast pad from beneath Chloe’s dress,
