Chapter 273
Alice was startled to see Noah at the car window.
Alice was embarrassed. What did he want?

Jack’s expression darkened as he was interrupted. He found the Welches increasingly irritating.
Noah was furious.“Get out of the car!”
Alice wiped her lips, her initial nervousness replaced by calm.
Alice rolled down the window and looked at Noah.“What?”
Her tone was cold and distant. She treated Noah as a stranger.
Noah glared at Jack.“Alice, why are you with him?”
Alice countered, “Why shouldn’t I be?”
“He’s not suitable. He’s mysterious and has a mundane job. He wants something from you.”
Noah had always disliked Jack, especially since Jack had been a school doctor and then followed Alice to Washington.
It was obvious Jack was clinging to her.
Alice scoffed.“No matter who he is, I like him.”
“Alice, you’re young. We weren’t good to you, so he took advantage, showering you with attention. But I know he is a bad guy.”
“Enough. Whether he’s good or bad isn’t your concern.”
Noah turned to Jack.“I warn you, don’t touch Alice, or the Welch family will make you pay.”
“Are you good?”
Jack’s voice was frigid.“Alice almost got assaulted last night. That’s how you protect her? You deserve years in prison. Leave her alone.”
Noah was speechless.
His hand gripped the car door.“Last night was an accident.”
“So many accidents with you? I hope those accidents fall on you. Alice’s with me. There will be no
accidents.”
After this, Jack sped off.
Noah chased after the car.“Alice, stop! I need to talk to you.”
Alice rolled up the window and ignored Noah.
She couldn’t hear Noah anymore.
Inside, Alice turned to Jack.“Your words are still as sharp as ever.”

“I don’t usually swear, but they provoked me.”
Alice smiled. Her phone rang. She knew who it was.
She didn’t answer.
Jack asked, “Where to?”
“The TG Company. They found clues.”
Jack considered it.“The gym is better. The company is too public.”
Jack knew his identity would be exposed at TG.
Jack was not sure if Alice would agree.
But Alice nodded.
The investigation into Chloe’s father needed secrecy. If the backers knew, they’d hide.
It wouldn’t be easy to catch the handle then.
Jack was relieved that Alice agreed.
Alice messaged the TG Company. They’d meet at the gym.
Alice and Jack went to the boxing area.
Alice held up her red gloves.“I love this gift.”
She looked at Jack, her eyes lingering on his lips. She remembered their interrupted kiss.
He leaned down.“I want a gift, too.”
“What do you want…”
She trailed off.
Jack wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her tenderly.
Alice wrapped her arms around his neck, responding happily.
He held her tightly, his palms burning.
She was breathless, her eyelashes trembling.
He pulled back, his voice husky.“They’re here.”
Hearing this, Alice came to her senses.
Alice nearly forgot the meeting with the PR team.
She blushed, trying to pull away, but Jack wouldn’t let go.
His chin rested on her shoulder.“Let me hold you a little longer.”
“But they’re here. It’s not good.”
Alice whispered.
Jack still didn’t let her go.“They arrived earlier. No rush.”

He finally released her.

check them.”
She fled. Jack chuckled softly.
Alice walked outside and rubbed her face. She had to calm down. It was impolite to keep others waiting
Alice saw three of them on treadmills.
Elena approached Alice. “We didn’t want to interrupt you. So we decided to exercise too. It’s good for our health.”
Alice apologized for keeping them waiting
It’s fine. The gym’s convenient. We can work out during work hours.”
This eased Alice’s embarrassment. Who would dare interrupt Jack and his girlfriend?
With Jack involved, nothing was unsolvable.
Alice brought the team to the boxing area. Jack sat nearby with water.
Jack said, “Go ahead.”
Elena reported, “Ms. Welch, we hacked into the Welch’s security system last night. Someone entered the mansion, but he knew the security layout. We only got a blurry back view.”
“Knowing the layout means Chloe told them.”
“We think so. We’re checking nearby cameras and identified some suspicious vehicles, but it will
take time.”
Alice knew it wouldn’t be easy.
But this urged Chloe’s father to kill someone, confirming her initial thoughts.
Pushing Chloe to the edge would expose her backers.
Alice nodded.“Any clues are good. We’ll find out.”
Jack stroked her head.“There are no permanent secrets. You did well.”
“Unfortunately, Davis is dead and took the blame. We haven’t dealt with Chloe.”
Alice had thought this would send Chloe to jail.
“I suspect this wasn’t his first time. Remember Chloe’s accomplice on the exam? She committ suicide. I suspect Chloe’s father did it.”
If Chloe’s father was so casually killing people, he was definitely involved in her parents‘ deaths!
It wasn’t a simple accident!
Jack found the driver suspicious.

Jack said, “Since there are clues, we’ll find out. I promise.”
Maybe uncovering the truth would lessen Alice’s hatred toward him.
Alice nodded.“The charity auction is tomorrow. Chloe will try something. We’ll get proof of her embezzlement.”
After exercising at the gym, they went to dinner.
After dinner, Jack drove her back to the Welch’s mansion.“Call me if you need anything. Don’t be reckless. Leave the fighting to me. Don’t get your hands dirty.”
“I know.”
Alice liked Jack more and more.
She waved and entered the mansion.
The hall was brightly lit. Her brothers were there, with Chloe beside Ethan.
Alice raised an eyebrow.“Meeting?”
Ethan began, “Didn’t Noah say you broke up with that poor school doctor? Why are you him? Are you that desperate for a man, Alice?”
