Chapter 422

Alice was inwardly puzzled when she saw Darren in such a flustered state.

From all the previous investigations, she was convinced that Darren was * man obsessed with gambling and money, In the eyes of such men, nothing was more important than money.

As for Chloe, she was merely a means for Darren to amass wealth.

So why was Darren so concerned about Chloe’s safety?

Although Alice was perplexed, she coldly retorted,“All of you from the Black family are guilty. Do you think I’ll let you off? “The past has nothing to do with Chloe,”

“Nothing to do with her? But she colluded with you to embezzle public funds, almost driving the Welch Group to bankruptcy. Do you think

she’s innocent?”

Alice stared at Darren.“Your whole family is ungrateful. Back then, when you had a criminal record and couldn’t find a job, my parents kindly let you stay and work 35 a driver to support your children. And how did you repay them? Upon hearing these words, Darren lowered his head and fell silent.

Alice, seething with anger, demanded, “Why don’t you answer?”

“I’m sorry for what I did to you.”

“Since you know you did wrong, make amends. The Garcia family bribed you, right?

Alice fixed her eyes on Darren.“I want you to come forward and confess that the Garcia family hired someone to commit murder. Do this, and Chloe will be safe.”

“You found out about the Garcia family?”

Darren was somewhat taken aback and immediately said, “I’ll do whatever you ask, but I request you to spare my daughter.” Alice hadn’t expected it to be this easy.

But she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

She asked, “Where’s the money?”

“It’s gone.”

“How can it be gone! Do you think I’ll believe that?”

Alice’s gaze was full of suspicion, clearly showing her disbelief.

Darren seemed resigned.“After getting the money, I, of course, went gambling, but unfortunately, I lost it all. Otherwise, I would’ve left long ago. Do you think I’d stay in the shop waiting for you to find me?”

Alice was rendered speechless.

The explanation made sense.

But it all seemed too seamless.

She wondered, “Does Darren dote on his daughter that much? How could a violent, gambling–addicted person be so caring?”

Alice turned and left the room. Looking at Jack, who was standing in front of her, she said, “I always felt Darren was acting strange, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”

“It was indeed too easy.”

Jack had overheard the conversation between Alice and Darren. Surprisingly, Darren had made no other demands, only asking not to implicate Chloe.

Alice said skeptically, “Let’s do a paternity test first to see if he’s Darren.

“After all, with the plastic surgery, who knew if it was the real person.”

Jack nodded slightly.“Okay.”

Alice was a bit hesitant.“Shouldn’t you also release Aviana?”

As long as Aviana was still being held, Jack’s mother would be increasingly furious.

“Well, I’ll make arrangements.”
