NovelEnglishChapter 199 Chapter 199 Alice couldn't stop shaking. Every memory of last night turned her world to ash. How had everything gone so wrong? She must have lost her mind. After the police found her that morning, she'd immediately tried to drag Grace down with her. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess, which made her blurt out whatever cto mind. "It had to be her. Only she would do something like this to me," she mumbled. The moment those words left her mouth, Liam couldn't take it anymore.

Letguess-you're going to claim you were attacked by multiple men and that Grace orchestrated the whole thing?" Alice slowly looked up. She had really been attacked by several men, and Grace was definitely behind it. Wasn't her condition proof enough? Her clothes were in tatters, and her body was covered in marks. What better evidence could there be? But Liam's words hit her like ice water.
1 "Did you make those marks yourself too? I swear nothing honest ever comes out of your mouth. Years ago, you claimed your foster parents abused you, but it turns out that con man ---- demanding money was your partner all along. "Every cent he extorted all these years went straight to your bank account. How could you be so twisted?" The blood drained from Alice's face. It felt like lightning had struck her. How could they possibly know? Even if Grace had told them, the Lamberts should never have believed her over Alice. Liam pulled up the video on his phone, his face twisted with disgust. "Your little schwith that man is all over town. Mom watched your livestream while getting your fake ransom call. Dad collapsed because of you. "What more do you want? Now you're playing victim again, trying to drag Grace down with you. I'm telling you-I will never trust a word you say again!" Reality clicked into place for Alice.
Everything from last night had been broadcast live. No wonder nobody cto save her. She shot Grace a venomous look. Grace must have arranged the livestream. She knew about Alice's relationship with Brent all along. If not for Grace, what happened afterward would never have occurred. Her body trembled, but her mind raced ahead. The Lamberts were too angry right now to believe anything she said. Even though she really had been attacked, they'd assshe was acting again.
The tables had totally turned. Grace used to be in this ---- position, where everything she said was automatically considered a lie. Alice suddenly went quiet. She turned to the police and said, "I'm sorry -I was just confused. This is family business. You can go." Grace was surprised. She could tell Alice had genuinely been through something terrible last night, but after a brief breakdown, she'd recovered with remarkable speed. Her mental toughness was something else.

There really was a lot of in rich families. After the police left, the hospital room fell silent. Alice turned to leave. Staying would only earn her more contempt. As she approached the elevator, she saw Grace step in beside her.
Grace half-expected her to lash out, but Alice simply muttered, "This isn't over." Grace found it almost funny but kept quiet. The elevator stopped on the ground flodr. Alice stepped out, then turned back, her gaze burning with hatred. "Grace, I won't let this go. I'm not done with you yet." Her hatred was so intense that it practically filled the air. If looks could kill, Grace would have died a thousand times over. However, Grace wasn't afraid of her.
