Alice had always been in the dark about how the car accident was connected to the Garcia family. After all, the
two families had never known each other before. Nor had they any grudges.
But now, she knew the truth.
The Garcia family was after the landmark of the new energy project, and to secure it, they had bribed her
parents’ driver-Chloe’s father.
Alice suddenly became. very troubled. She muttered, “I've checked. The Garcia family was already celebrating
their win that day. But who, from the Garcia family, was involved in all this in New York?”
Jack hesitated and then said, “Maybe the person sitting in the back of the car had nothing to do with it?”
“How could it have nothing to do with it? They're probably all in this together, with the Garcia family.” Alice
retorted.
Jack gripped the edge of the table tightly, his heart sinking deeper.
He
now vaguely realized how he had been set up by the Garcia family.
At that time, he didn’t have to take the Garcia family’s car, but due to an oversight, he ended up in that car.
That car was what caused the death of Alice's parents.
But Aviana had covered it up so well that Jack had believed the accident was just a tragi coincidence.
Now, as he dug deeper into the Garcia family’s background, he grew more horrified. The accident had likely been
orchestrated by them.
Alice gritted her teeth.“The Garcia family bribed Chloe's father, but he’s still alive. So who was the driver that
day?”
The clues were lining up on the Garcia family side, but the driver's part still didn't add up.
After a long pause, Jack finally spoke.“We need to find Chloe's father. That's the key to everything.”
He had been investigating that dealership but hadn't found any trace of Chloe's father.
If it weren't for Elena snapping that photo, he might've started to doubt himself.
It was strange-there was someone he just couldn't track down.
Alice took a deep breath.”Yeah, all the evidence hinges on that one missing piece.” If they could just get Chloe’s
father’s testimony, the whole truth about the car accident would cto light. And they could prove that the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGarcia family had hired someone to kill.
The accident had not been an accident at all. It was premeditated murder. Jack grasped her hand.“The Welch
family’s project is at a critical stage. Ethan will be wiring the money soon, and Chloe will start embezzling funds.
That's when we'll be able to track down her father through the account records.”
Alice nodded, forcing a smile.“Let’s hope so.”

She thought of her past life, when Chloe and those who had killed her parents had betrayed her, and a deep
sense of frustration welled up inside her.
Jack looked at Alice, knowing he needed to investigate everything before he could tell her the full truth.
After dinner, Alice headed back to her school dorm.
She glanced at Jack beside her and said, “I'm going to the dorm now. Thanks for everything.” She had already
told Jack that she wanted space, but he had still helped her so much.
The crucial leads had all cfrom his investigation.
Right now, there weren't many people she could trust, and Jack was one of the few. Jack gripped the steering
wheel tightly.“No need for thanks between us. I'm doing this because |
want to.”
He really wanted to do more for Alice right now, hoping that when the tcame, she wouldn't hate him.
Alice pursed her lips but said nothing.
She opened the car door and walked away. There were too many things on her mind. Until she figured out the
truth behind her parents’ deaths, she didn’t have the energy to think about personal matters.
Alice went straight to the dorm.
Since she had just uncovered a lead, she wasn’t in the right frof mind to head to the Welch family. She
feared that she might slip up and reveal too much.
Once Alice found the solid evidence, she would throw it in Ethan's face and let him see just who the Welch family
had raised all these years.
The hatred Alice felt for Chloe was almost uncontrollable.
She would make Chloe and those behind her regret they'd never been born.
She would shatter every dream Chloe had ever harbored and make sure that the hypocrite would live a life of
misery and poverty.
With a heavy heart, Alice returned to her dorm and shared the information Jack had uncovered with Mary.
Mary gasped.“l had a feeling it could be business competition, but | never thought Jack would move that fast.
Now it all makes sense.”
The Garcia family had already started celebrating the new energy project win, which showed they were sure they
would land the deal.
If the accident had been planned by the Garcia family, the clues would all fit together. Mary hugged Alice. “Don’t
be upset. It’s to find this lead. Once we catch Chloe's father, that'll be the evidence we need. The Garcia family
will pay for what they did.”
“That's what | think too. My parents didn’t die for nothing.”
Alice wiped away a tear. “Now | have two good friends and people who are looking out for me. I've already
gained so much.”
She would live ten times, even a hundred times better than in her past life, and make those who

killed her parents pay the price.

That night, Alice tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of the Garcia family
and the
Cadet Car accident.
In her dreams, she found herself reliving the crash.
Alice sat in the backseat, happily holding a toy, while her mother in the passenger seat kept promising to buy
her a cake to make up for it.
Alice wanted to tell her parents to take her home. She didn’t want the cake anymore. She didn’t want her
parents to die.
But the crash still happened. A terrible headache struck her, and her vision blurred. Then she heard her mother’s
hysterical voice.“Save her, save my child first.”
Alice vaguely saw someone pulling her out of the car, but the hands that grabbed her were too young to be
those of a middle-aged man.
Alice opened her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling.
If the dream was real, then the person who saved her wasn’t the driver. It was someone else.
Alice thought, “Could that person have been someone from the Garcia family’s car?”
That person might have been the driver-or perhaps just a passenger in the backseat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Either way, that person was the key piece of evidence in the crash.
Alice had to find that person.
He was the eyewitness.
The next day, when Alice arrived at the team’s base, everyone gathered to discuss what had happened at the
lecture the day before.
Seven recognized Alice's boyfriend as a young and successful CEO. They were shocked to learn that he had
been the one to drop Alice off that night-not solder man keeping her as a mistress.
Alice chatted with the team for a while before heading back to her office to handle smatters.
Andy knocked and walked in, his expression complicated.
He had learned yesterday that Alice was now a shareholder in a company and that once the company went
public, she would be financially free.
That realization hit him hard. Andy felt uncomfortable. It felt like Alice was no longer in his world.
When he saw the photo of the man standing next to Alice, Andy hadn't slept a wink all night.
Alice looked up at him and said, “You're just in time. You led the team to win the school competition. It won't be
long before pro teams clooking for you.”
“My goal is the national team,” Andy replied.
Alice thought about her own goal. Lately, she hadn't had much tto train at the base because she’d been so
focused on the investigation into her parents’ deaths.
She turned to Andy.“Once I'm done with this, I'll make more tto train.” Andy hesitated and said, “Are you free
tonight? I've got stactics I'd like to discuss with you."

These past few days, he hadn't been able to see Alice or arrange anything with her. But now that he saw Alice
becoming more and more impressive, he knew he had to act. Otherwise, he could never win her heart.
Just as Alice was about to agree, her phone buzzed. A message popped up in the Welch family’s group chat.
It was Chloe and Finn’s wedding invitation.
That was quick.
Word was that Ethan had already wired the first payment, but there had been no movement from Chloe's side.
