Chapter 237

Seeing the photo, Alice went blank. Her hand trembled as she zoomed in. Even though it was just a profile, she couldn’t be mistaken. It was Chloe’s father–the driver who’d supposedly died with her parents. But he was alive?

A chill ran down her spine; a vast conspiracy felt like it was closing in. Her mind raced. If Chloe’s father was alive, who was the driver who died? Why had he faked his death and remained hidden? There was a hidden truth.

Alice asked, “Ms. Alice, what’s wrong? Is there

Is there something about this person? “Nothing.” Alice said, quickly composing herself.“What did he and Chloe discuss?”

“Just a few minutes, then they left hurriedly and cautiously. If they hadn’t been worried about being seen, we might have overheard their conversation.”

“Keep an eye on Chloe, but be discreet. Investigate this man. See what you can find.”

After Alice left, Alice studied the photo again and again. Why was the driver alive? The car accident wasn’t as simple as it seemed; there was a hidden truth. She couldn’t remember the details of the accident; if she could, she would know the truth.

Alice pulled the blanket over her head, shivering. Chloe meeting her father meant she knew something. Chloe had lived a comfortable life in the Windham family for years; Mom and Dad wouldn’t be happy.

A cold fury filled Alice; she needed to find out the truth and avenge her parents. She would probe Ethan to see if he knew the truth and had kept it from her.
