Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice) novel Chapter 237

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. 

Alice rested, having little appetite for lunch. Jack called.“Heard you didn’t eat much. Feeling 

down?” 

Alice hesitated.“Blake sent a video of Chloe apologizing. He beat her up. It’s ironic; the Windhams are inherently selfish.” While Chloe deserved it, the blame fell solely on her, making Blake appear innocent. 

Jack, overlooking the city from his office, said patiently, “Don’t be fooled by their games.” 

“I know.” 

“Feeling cooped up? Go for a walk in the garden. I’ll have a computer installed in your room; Daniel can play games with you.” 

Alice quickly refused. I’ll be discharged soon. A computer is unnecessary.” Jack didn’t push it. 

Hanging up, Alice’s mind raced. She’d thought the accident was just bad luck. But there was more 

to it. 

Jack returned in the afternoon. Seeing Alice’s relatively calm demeanor, he relaxed. “You sounded down on the phone.” 

“Don’t worry. I won’t be manipulated by the Windhams.” She tiptoed closer.“Did quickly because you’re worried about me?” 

you come back 

Jack looked down at her, his throat tightening. He gently touched her face.“Yes. I never want to see you cry like that again.” He remembered her tearful live stream; even though she was acting, it had distressed him. He’d cut a meeting short to come back. 

Alice leaned her head against his hand. “Have I ever cried that much before?” She didn’t remember. doing so.

Jack’s lips tightened. Yes, after the accident. When he rescued her, she’d sobbed uncontrollably, even biting him when he wouldn’t let her near the burning car. But she’d forgotten. His palm felt warm as his gaze locked on her face. 

As he leaned in, Alice straightened, clearing her throat. “You probably haven’t eaten either. I’m hungry.” 

“I am hungry,” he admitted, taking her hand, his gaze meaningful. 

Alice looked down at their intertwined fingers.“What are we now?” 

Jack tucked a stray hair behind her ear. After you’re discharged, I’ll take you somewhere.” 

“Where?” 

“A surprise. To make things official.”
