Alice watched as Aviana’s expression shifted, a flicker of panic crossing her face.
She spoke up,“Aviana is lying.”
The man in the mask noticed it too. He yanked on Aviana’s hair, pulling her head back.“You're lying, bitch. | saw
it with my own eyes. Do you really think you can fool me?”
Aviana gritted her teeth, enduring the sharp pain in her scalp.“How could you have seen it? Who are you?”
The masked man squinted at her.“l know everything about this, you filthy liar. Don’t try to trick
me.”
Aviana winced at the excruciating pain on her scalp.“There was no one behind the car!” “Not talking, huh? Looks
like you're determined to protect Dari. You two make quite the pair. But what if | F**K you? At least that’s
something worthwhile.”
“You dare!”
Aviana’s face paled as she glared at him.“If you dare lay a finger on me, you won't just walk away without your
money. You'll be buried without a trace. Dari has been gambling away his fortune. He doesn’t have anything left.
Only | can give you what you want!”
“I could let you go... but only if you tellwho was behind the car!” He was getting desperate now, knowing he
needed leverage.“l need something to hold over your heads. That way, you can’t cafterlater.”
Aviana stared coldly at him.“If you don’t want to die, don’t ask about it. Take the money and leave. Whether you
kill Dari or spend it on women, it’s your choice. But if you find out something you shouldn't, you'll be the one
who's dead.”
No matter what he said, Aviana refused to tell him.
Alice was taken aback. She hadn't expected Aviana to be so protective of that person. Who was it? Just then,
Elena spoke up, breaking the silence.“Mr. Wilson, we've found the person. It won't be long before he arrives
here.”
Alice raised an eyebrow.“So quick.”
“Well, it’s the Wilson family pulling strings.”
pulling strings.” Elena shot a brief glance at Jack. Jack explained, “It’s probably my mother’s doing. She doesn’t
know about this, though.”
“What do we do now?”
Aviana wasn’t going to talk.
Jack looked down at her, his tone casual.“Would you like to see him?”

Huh?
Alice felt that Jack’s words carried another layer of meaning.
Jack counted off on his fingers, his voice light and teasing.“Get changed, wear a mask, and bring a voice
changer. No one will know who you are.”
Alice glanced at the clothes nearby, her brow furrowing slightly.“Do we have enough time?” “Plenty. I'll wait
outside.”

After changing into a different outfit, Alice put on the mask and voice changer and stepped into the room.
She looked at Aviana, the memory of her parents’ deaths flooding her mind once again.
“Who are you?”
Aviana immediately recognized the voice was different from the kidnapper’s. Fear spread across her face.
Alice’s eyes were icy cold as she raised her hand and slapped Aviana hard across the face.
“Now you're scared? When you hired someone to kill others, didn’t you think about the consequences?”
Aviana’s face swelled with the force of the slap, her voice trembling.”l never intended to kill them!”
“But it was your decision that caused their deaths. In the end, you're just as guilty as anyone else! You're no
better than a murderer.”
“It wasn’t my fault! They were just unlucky. What does that have to do with me? | never wanted them dead!”
Bad luck?
Alice grabbed Aviana by the neck, tightening her grip.“Your luck isn’t great now. So, how do you want to die?”
Aviana panicked, her voice trembling.“l can give you money. Isn't that what you want? | have plenty of money!”
“You look down on people like us, don’t you? | can’t stand women like you, sitting high on your pedestal, thinking
you're better than everyone else. Now that you're finally in my hands, I'm going to make sure you leave
something behind for us. We need leverage
Alice tore at Aviana’s clothes before pulling out her phone and starting to record. “I think this video will
guarantee our safety.”
Aviana screamed desperately, her voice cracking.”l can give you so much money. Please, just letgo!”
She couldn't bear being humiliated like this.
As Aviana was pleading, Alice felt a cold satisfaction wash over her.
She bent down.“Now that’s the attitude someone should have when they're caught. Begging for mercy.”
Alice shoved Aviana to the ground with force, towering over her.“Keep begging. Get on your knees.”
Begging like a dog with its tail between its legs.
Her parents had died unjustly, all because of Aviana.
Aviana, ignoring the humiliation, finally snapped.“l had no choice! Everything was going well until that damn
couple showed up, trying to take over our project. How could | just let them have
it?”
If the Garcia family hadn't gotten that project back then, they would have gone bankrupt by now.
How could they have becwealthy without it?

Aviana continued defensively.“Everyone looks out for themselves. If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you
have done the same?”
Alice’s eyes hardened as she listened. She knew then that someone like her would never regret what they'd
done.
People like Aviana only cared about profit.
Alice's voice was cold as ice.“So, now that you're in our hands, it's our terms. The Garcia family will pay a lot for
this kind of video.”
Alice stretched out her hand toward Aviana. The woman collapsed, fainting from fear.
Alice let out a low, derisive laugh.“Already giving up?”
“Time's up.”
Alice heard Jack's voice in her ear, signaling that it was tto leave.
She turned and walked out of the room, glancing back at Jack.“Do you think what | did was too
much?”
After all, Aviana was his mother’s close friend.
Yet here she was, humiliating Aviana, forcing her to kneel and beg for mercy.
Jack took her hand gently.“ had you go in because | wanted you to vent your anger.”
Elena stepped forward.“We’ll take care of things here. You two can go now.”

Soon, everyone was gone.
Jack turned to Alice.“You should change your clothes.”
Alice slipped off her jacket and pants. Together, they left the place.
She whispered, “Will they find Aviana?”
“No way.”
Jack’s eyes turned cold, his tone darkening.“She’ll be made to suffer for a few days, living in constant fear.”
And there were still things he needed to ask.
Why had they set him up to be in that car?
Alice smiled faintly.“She deserves to suffer. After all, we've had it so hard these years, while the Garcia family
has lived in luxury.”
If the Garcia family hadn't played dirty back then, the project would have been her parents’.
The Welch family wouldn’t be in the position they were in now.
Jack took
took her hand in his.“Getting to the truth is
is just a matter of time.”
“I know. Thank you for everything you've done.”
Alice was truly grateful to him.
Jack stepped closer, looking down at her with an intensity in his eyes. “Well, just keep that in
mind.”
The more she remembered about the good things he did, the less she would hate him when she eventually
learned the truth.

Alice kept everything he had done in her heart. How could she ever forget?
The elevator doors slid open, and outside, Julia caught sight of them. She broke down, her voice shaking.“Jack,
I've been looking for you. My mother’s in trouble!”
