Alice heard Ethan’s words, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips.“Oh? Now you care? Weren’t you so protective of Chloe back then?”

Ethan was so angry he could barely catch his breath.

He was still lying in a hospital bed, and after waking up last night, he hadn’t managed to get any sleep.

Now, the money Chloe had transferred was gone. There wasn’t a single trace left.

Noah was feeling the pressure.“Alice, we should put our past grudges aside and unite to uncover the truth about the car accident, and find the people responsible for killing our parents.”

“We’ve already alerted them. The Garcia family will hear about this soon. What’s the point in joining forces with you?”

Alice glanced at her phone.“Stop threatening me with Chloe’s life. I don’t care about her. In fact, I’d rather see her dead.”

“Alice, Ethan doesn’t mean it that way. What he’s saying is that Chloe is in our hands now. She’s a hostage, and she must know something about her dad. Isn’t it better for us to work together and find the truth as quickly as possible?”

Ethan was furious.“Alice, you know cooperating with me is the fastest way. Why are you rejecting it?”

“It’s simple.”

Alice’s voice was calm as she spoke.“Now that you know Darren is still alive, don’t you feel suffocated? The guilt and regret weighing on your chest, making it hard to breathe?”

Noah and Ethan exchanged a glance, lowering their heads into a heavy silence.

It had indeed been a tormenting night. Regret had pressed on their hearts, making it hard to endure.

Noah’s voice was hoarse as he spoke.“Alice, since we found out the truth, we’ve already been accepting our punishment.”

Sometimes, just staying alive felt like a punishment.

Alice spoke flatly, “I know. That’s the point. Watching you suffer, feeling guilty for the rest of your lives.”

Ethan was starting to crack.“Alice, what do you want from me? I didn’t know things were like this. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ve paid my price already!”
