“What evidence do you have? Nah asked Alice “The fortage was deleted. My people say it can’t he recovered.
The Garcia family probably deleted it beforehand. Without the footage, there was no proof. What could Alice
possibly use?
“You'll see.” Alice's eyes were cold and dark. She got into a taxi and left, not wanting to share details with Noah
for fear of complications. Once she presented the evidence, everyone would see Chloe's true colors, and they
would disappear from her life forever. Noah looked at the discarded gift bag, a wry smile on his face. He couldn't
accuse Chloe without proof.
Chloe emerged from the school. “Noah, | was asleep and missed your call. | know where Alice lives. | can take
you there, but she might not want to see you.” She saw the gift bag. Did you see her already? Had Alice said
anything?
Noah stared at Chloe.“Yes, | saw Alice.” He remembered hearing Chloe’s sarcastic reDaniels in the classroom, so
different from her usual demeanor. Was she truly as sweet and obedient as she seemed?
Chloe's expression was stiff. “What did she say about the bar incident?” She was nervous. The Garcia family had
deleted the footage, as long as she denied it, no one could prove anything. That's how it had always been.
Without proof, her brothers wouldn't believe Alice. Noah loosened his tie.“She said she found the evidence from
the bar that night.” Chloe panicked. Impossible! The Garcia family would have ensured there were no loose ends.
Noah didn’t say more, turning to leave.

Chloe hurried after him. “Noah, are you looking for Alice? I'll cwith you. I'm worried about her.”
Noah looked at her deeply. “That night at the bar, did you really do nothing?”
“Noah, you suspect me? Maybe Alice told you something, but | didn’t hurt her.” Chloe put on her usual act of
innocent victimhood.
Noah was exasperated.“Get in the car!” He needed to know who was lying.
Chloe was secretly delighted. She had to know what evidence Alice had to prepare a countermeasure. But she
thought Alice was bluffing.
Alice arrived at the appointed café. It was early; the streets were quiet. She saw someone with a laptop-J) had
said he'd have a laptop.
She took a deep breath, approaching the table. The profile looked familiar. Sitting down, she saw the familiar,
handsface.
She was shocked.”Jack? Why are you here?”
“Surprised? | didn’t know you liked finding mentors in the dark web.” Jack had been almost certain of her identity
when she walked in.
“I didn’t know you were J,” she said, surprised.
Jack sat up straighter.“Early bird gets the worm. Eat something. He'd ordered milk and mini
cakes.
Alice wasn’t hungry, focusing
on his laptop. “Is the
footage recovered?”
“Yes, but eat first. The video and the culprit aren't going anywhere.”
Alice ate a few bites. “I should have contacted you directly.”
“Why didn’t you tellthis was dangerous?”
“I didn’t want to involve you. You're leaving soon; this would disrupt your life!” She didn’t want him to get into
trouble with wealthy people.
He opened his laptop. “The video is here.”
Alice’s heart pounded. The video showed Chloe spraying something on her, and Max and her bodyguards trying

Alice smiled. “Thank you. This evidence was perfect! Max and Chloe were trapped. Noah strode in.“Alice, why are
you meeting with this... doctor?” He hadn't expected to find her. here, smiling. He'd thought she was looking for

Chloe followed, feigning concern.“’Alice, Noah's trying to help. There are plenty of eligible. bachelors in
Washington. Why are you with this poor doctor?” She was worried Alice had the footage.
Alice took a mini cake and smashed it onto Chloe’s face. Past and present grievances all at once! Chloe
screamed. Alice’s eyes were sharp. Compared to what you sprayed onat the bar, this cake is gentle!”
“I don’t know what you're talking about!” Chloe was nervous but refused to confess. The Garcia family had
deleted the footage; Alice had no proof.
Noah was shocked. “Alice, you said Chloe sprayed something on you at the bar?” Impossible. Chloe wouldn't do
that.
“Yes, a date-rape drug. Max was there and sent bodyguards to get me. Luckily, | ran into Jack. Otherwise, you'd
be seeing me, raped and filmed!” Alice’s eyes were filled with fury. Noah turned to Chloe.“Why didn’t you tell me
this?” Chloe had concealed the truth. “Noah, I didn’t do it! Alice’s lying! She has no evidence!” Chloe, cake
smeared on her face, looked pathetic as she backed away.
“Who says | don’t have evidence? | recovered the deleted footage!” Alice clicked play.
Chloe's face fell. It was over. Everything was over.
