My dearest daughter, what is 1920
Chloe explained her request. “I need you to destroy a surveillance viden. Steal it from the police
station.”
“My dearest daughter, did you leave a trace? | can help, but you shortedlast time, and that bun.”
“Enough. Help me, and you won't be ghosted again” Chloe was desperate. This mysterious man, who claimed to
be her father, was her only hope. Whether he was her father or not, she'd use him.
No problem. Consider it done.
Chloe hung up, deleting the call log. She checked on Noah, then called Ethan, her voice choked with
tears.”Brother, something terrible happened!”
“What is it? Don’t cry. Calm down.”
Noah cto see Alice, and they argued. He fainted. What should | do?” She cried tically.
Ethan's voice hardened “Call 911 and givethe address.”
Chloe wiped her tears. Her acting was superb. She looked at Noah with a mocking smile. Once the video was
destroyed, no one would believe Noah. Ethan hated Alice and would believe her. She wouldn't give up.
Meanwhile, Alice and Jack went to the police station. Alice was in a good mood.“New car? It's different from the
last one.”
“A friend's car.”
“What have you been doing in Washington? Chasing girls?”

Jack gripped the steering wheel. “Not anymore.”
“Why not?” Alice was secretly pleased. Her mood was complex.
Jack coughed.“Need a reason?”
“Because of the bar? I'm sorry. | know you saved me. Nothing happened between us. | won't ask you take
responsibility.” She lowered her head.“Don’t letdisrupt your life.” They'd been intimate, stopping short of
sex. She'd even touched his abs. He looked thin but was surprisingly muscular.
At a red light, Jack looked at her. Her features were delicate, her eyes cautious. His heart softened. He smiled
slightly. “It’s my decision, nothing to do with you.”
Alice didn’t understand.
Suddenly, a van swerved towards them. Tseemed to slow,
Alice screamed, “Jack, watch out!”
Jack swerved, shielding Alice.
*Bang!*
Alice felt a deafening roar, almost thrown from her seat. The seatbelt held her fast. She felt dizzy, nauseous, her
ears ringing. She lost consciousness.

She awoke to a blur of red. Someone was taking a laptop from beside her. She tried to stop them. but was too
weak. She saw Jack slumped over the steering wheel, blood streaming from his head.“Jack, wake up!” She
fainted again. She’d put Jack in danger.
The accident caused a stir in the Wilson family.

was quickly deleted.
Alice awoke to the smell of antiseptic. She was in the hospital.
Luke sighed with relief.“Little Lemon, you're awake! Anything hurt?”
“Jack? How is he?” She remembered he was more seriously injured.
“He's fine. Don’t
move. You're still on IV.”
“I need to see him!”
“Not now.”
“Why? Is he seriously injured, and you're hiding it?”
Luke held her down.“You watch too many s! He's fine, but his family is here. It’s not a good time. The
accident might lead to misunderstandings.” The Wilson family had almost turned the hospital upside down
searching for the culprit. Luke had separated Alice and Jack to prevent trouble for Alice.
Alice felt guilty.“I’m responsible for his injury!”
“It was an accident! But Jack’s family set up a blind date for him. This accident will cause misunderstandings. You
shouldn't meet his family now!”
Alice gave up on seeing Jack.
I'll take you later, after his family leaves.”

“Okay.”
Alice
remembered
something. “It
wasn't
an accident. It was intentional.”
“Intentional? Your
Your enemies?” Luke wondered if it was Jack's business rivals.
Alice nodded. “Someone stole the laptop with the bar footage.”
“So it was aimed at you. That narrows down the suspects.”
Alice smirked.“Chloe!” She was the one who most wanted that video destroyed.
“The Garcia family is also a suspect. The driver hasn't been found. Only the Garcia family has that kind of
power!”
“You're right. Chloe doesn’t have that kind of reach in Washington. She probably told the Garcia family. They did
this to protect Max!”
Alice hadn't expected the Garcia family to be so ruthless. They'd tried to kill her!
“But the laptop is gone; the evidence is probably destroyed.”
“No. | copied it and gave it to Jack.”
