Chapter 282
Alice stared at the Welch brothers. They had always used Chloe saving her life as an excuse. In her previous life, for this reason, she never received any care from her brothers until her death.
She was truly convinced that Chloe’s father had saved her life, so she kept giving in.
In the end, she even gave up her life.
But this time, she discovered that Chloe’s father wasn’t dead.
Alice suspected that the car accident back then might have something to do with Chloe’s father, which was the reason he always hid behind Chloe.
Noah was surprised and asked, “Alice, what do you mean by that?”
Caleb suspiciously said, “Ethan has been investigating the person who fled the scene of the car accident. But so far, he can only trace it back to the Garcia family. There’s been no progress. Do you have any leads, Alice?”
Alice tightly gripped her phone,
Wanting to show them the evidence.
But she held back. This was not the place to talk.
Besides, she couldn’t alert the enemy now.
said,“No,
Alice coldly said, “No, I have something to do. I’m leaving.”
She turned and left the Welch’s villa.
From the second–floor window, Chloe watched Alice’s departing figure. Thinking about what Caleb had just said, she felt a bit worried.
She wondered, “It had something to do with the Garcia family?
“I’ve asked Ethan about it before, but he didn’t tell me anything. Does he also suspect my father?” Chloe felt a chill down her spine and hurried back to the room to tell her father the news. They needed to take precautions in advance to prevent him from being discovered.
Alice left the Welch’s villa and went straight to the agreed–upon café.
On the way, she repeatedly looked at the messages sent by her PR team, feeling a bit excited as she wondered if they had finally located Chloe’s father.
When Alice arrived at the café private room, Elena was already there. She turned the lapt towards Alice and said, “After our investigation, we found this car suspicious. It appeared o the Welch’s villa that night and later drove into this automobile dealership.”
“Is this car from the dealership?”
“Yes, it’s a car the repair staff use. We had someone investigate the employees at the shop but

didn’t find the man in the photo from that day.”

Alice looked at the laptop screen. “Even so, he must be related to this shop. Otherwise, how could he drive the shop’s car?”
“Exactly. We’ve already sent someone to investigate further.”
Alice felt a bit disappointed. She had thought they had found Chloe’s father.
“Ms. Welch, I’m sorry for not being clear in the messages, but it was to prevent any leaks. You mentioned that no one else could know about this matter, especially when you’re at the Welch’s residence. You need to be extremely cautious,”
Alice nodded. “You did the right thing. At least we’ve made some progress.”
Chloe’s father must be hiding in this repair shop or at least related to it. Finding him was just a matter of time now.
Alice looked at Elena.“Funds from donations to the foundation have already been deposited. Chloe will definitely make a move. We’ll wait for her to act.”
“Yes, once Chloe transfers the money, we can trace the name and find that person.”
Alice became a bit tense.
She had to catch Chloe’s father and uncover the truth about the car accident.
After talking about the matter, Alice ordered a coffee to clear her thoughts. After talking about the matter, Alice
She looked outside and accidentally saw Ethan getting out of a car with a girl who had difficulty walking.
When Alice saw what the girl looked like, she exclaimed, “It’s her!”
“Why is my new roommate with Ethan?” Alice wondered.
She then recalled her new roommate’s name was Mary Parker, wondering, “Is Mary Ethan’s fiancée?”
Elena followed Alice’s gaze.“That’s the Parker family’s daughter. She has difficulty walking and rarely appears in public. Most people don’t know her.”
But Elena, being in the PR circle, recognized these public figures.
Alice remembered the time she held a press conference and was suddenly stopped by Ethan. She seemed to have mentioned the press conference in the dorm.
She thought, “Could Mary have tipped Ethan off?”
Alice asked, “Do you
know anything about Mary?”
“Not much. She rarely appears in public or attends events. But her life has been tough. Afte mother passed away, she got a stepmother, who doesn’t really care about her.”
“Why do you say that?”
“I heard Mary is introverted and rarely speaks due to her leg issues. Her stepmother keeps her

indoors and then finds her a man to marry recently, I thought it was a good catch, But it turned out to be Ethan. He’s not a good person and much older.”
Elena had investigated the Welch family after working for Alice and knew what kind of person Ethan‘ was.
Alice nodded. “I didn’t expect such a coincidence. Mary and I share a dorm. She probably overheard the press conference and tipped off Ethan.”
“She shares a dorm with you? The Parker family probably wanted you two to interact more. They didn’t expect you to be on such bad terms with your family.”
Alice also thought so.
But she had little interaction with Mary, who had been laying low in the dorm. Mary rarely went out except for classes. Her meals were specially delivered to her by someone her family had arranged.
Alice had wondered why Mary, with such a wealthy family, stayed in the dorm.
It all made sense now.
“Ms. Welch, you need to be careful about what you say in the dorm.”
“I know.”
Alice watched Ethan and Mary enter a restaurant, thinking that they probably were going to dine together.
It seemed Ethan was trying to fix Chloe’s mess by approaching the Parker family.
After leaving the café, Alice went straight to the school team base. She needed to oversee the team’s training.
Alice watched their training for a while. They were progressing fast.
Shrimp Live had notified Alice that she could start streaming, but she didn’t have much time.
The Parker family probably knew from Ethan that she had reconciled with the Welch family and wouldn’t take any further action.
Just then, Alice received a message from Jack, “What are you up to?”
“I’m training at the team base. I’m a bit hungry.”
Alice had only had some dessert at the café and skipped lunch. She was getting hungry.
“Wait up.”
Alice looked at his message, thinking, “What does he mean by that?”
After her game started, she didn’t have time to think about it.
Before long, Lana walked in with coffee.“Everyone, take a break and have some afternoon tea. It s on Alice’s boyfriend.”
Alice chuckled.

He had bought coffee for everyone at the base.
Alice took a photo and sent it to Jack.“Got it. Thanks, boss!”
“Aren’t you supposed to call me boyfriend?”
Jack sat in his office, smiling as he saw her message.
He replied, “Would you like to grab dinner together tonight?”
“I have a meeting tonight to plan the training schedule. We’re representing the school in a competition next month. We can’t lose. How about tomorrow?”
Alice wanted to go on a date with Jack, but she had a lot on her plate.
She also wanted to know what Jack had to tell her.
“Alice, someone is here to see you.”
Alice looked up and saw Julia walk in. She looked at Alice and asked, “Can we talk in private?”
