Haley was surprised. "How do you know...?" Ethan had a car accident from drunk driving a week ago. Her parents went to great lengths to keep it quiet, even their relatives were unaware. Haley thought, 'How does Alex know?' Alex flicked his cigarette ash and looked at Haley. "Here is Jaslands." "So, you knew Ethan was in trouble and you acted like you didn't know all along?" Haley's eyes were red as she stared at Alex in disbelief.
Alex didn't say anything, admitting her accusation silently. Haley's eyes, full of changing emotions, were locked on Alex.
She could sense that Alex was getting more and more impatient with her.
Ever since Alex had vanished without a reason a few days before the welchparty, he hadn't seen her much.
If he knew the collarbone chain she held was Ellie's, he would leave without a moment's hesitation.
She couldn't really explain why. Initially, being with Alex satisfied her vanity, and even though she knew Alex was troublesand unpredictable, someone she couldn't manage, she just couldn't stay away. She just couldn't leave him. Suppressing her discomfort, Haley cautiously said, "Alex, the police have transferred the case to the prosecution, but it ended up on Aaron's desk." Haley held Alex's hand, her voice shaky with tears. “Alex, you know ever since I broke up with Aaron and got with you, his family has always held a grudge against me. You have to help me, or Ethan is finished." Alex said, "Back then, you saved me, and I promised to take responsibility for you. No one else matters to me." Haley slowly let go of Alex's hand. Persistent, she asked, "Can't you help Ethan just this once, considering I saved your life back then?" Alex stood on the balcony by the floor-to-ceiling window, turning his back to Haley. "Ethan was driving drunk in a night market, crashing into five or six stalls, killing two instantly and seriously injuring three others." Alex said, "Even though your family acted quickly to keep things quiet, a hit-and-run while drunk driving that causes death is enough to get Ethan sentenced to more than seven years." Alex continued, "He didn't stop to call the police or try to fix it; instead, he backed up intentionally and hit someone again, killing one person and injuring two others. That's intentional murder!" 07:28 1 100% Chapter 207 Haley cried and pleaded, "That's why I'm begging you to save him!" Alex turned to face Haley, looking very serious. "How can I save him?" Haley insisted, "If you want to save him, you can!" Alex stood on the balcony, hands in his suit pockets, looking down at Haley.
Alex just stared at her silently, and Haley started to feel nervous.

She said, "My parents pulled strings to get Ethan a 'psychological disorder diagnosis. If we can get Aaron to turn If a blind eye and not be too strict, the murder charge won't stick. The rest is easy for you; I know you can do it!" "I can't help!" Alex spoke in a cold and detached manner. Haley was left speechless by Alex's words.
After a long pause, Haley finally said, "Alex, how can you say something like that? We're engaged, so we're partners, family. My problems are your problems. Now that Ethan's in trouble, isn't it right for you to help?" Alex replied, "I was with you because you once saved me. I'm only responsible to you, not your family." Haley couldn't believe what she was hearing. Alex could really separate things so clearly in his mind.
Haley said, "Alex, I almost lost my life saving you, and I even got depression just to be with you. I've never asked you for anything except this one time. Is it really that hard?"
