Chapter 282 Alice stared at her brothers .
They always used the excuse that Chloes father had saved her life .
In her past life , that excuse had prevented her brothers from ever showing her any real affection , right up until her death .
Shed believed it too , that Chloes father had saved her , and shed repeatedly given in .
Ultimately , shed given up her life .
But this time , shed discovered that Chloes father wasnt dead at all .
That meant the car accident might have been connected to him .
Why else would he be hiding behind Chloe ? Nathan exclaimed , surprised , Alice , what do you mean ? Ben looked suspicious .
Big Brothers been investigating the person who fled the scene of the accident , but hes only found leads connected to the Garcia family .
Theres been no progress .
Do you have any clues , Alice ? Alice gripped her phone , wanting to slam the evidence on their faces .
But she held back .
This wasnt the place , and she didnt want to tip anyone off .
Alice said coldly , No.
I have things to do .
Im leaving .
She turned and left the mansion ..
From an upstairs window , Chloe watched Alice go .
Remembering Bens words , she felt a chill run down her spine .
The Garcia family ? Shed asked her brother before , and he hadnt told her anything .
Did he suspect her father too ? Her heart pounding , Chloe rushed to her room to tell her father .
They needed to be prepared ; they couldnt be found out .
Alice left the mansion and went straight to the coffee shop theyd arranged to meet .
On the way , she reread the message from the PR team , her excitement growing .
Had they finally found Chloes father ? In the private room , Mandy was already there .
She turned her laptop towards Alice .
After our investigation , we found this car suspicious .
It was outside the Land mansion that night and ended up at this dealership .
Is it the dealerships car ? Yes , its a service technicians vehicle .
We checked the dealerships staff ; we couldnt find the man from the photo .
Alice looked at the screen .
They didnt find the man , but he definitely has ties to the dealership .
Otherwise , how would he get a car from there ? Exactly what I thought .
Weve sent people to investigate .
Alice felt a slight pang of disappointment .
Shed thought theyd found Chloes father .
Ms.
Alice , I apologize for not being clear in my message , but it was to prevent leaks .
You said this had to be kept secret , especially while youre at the Land mansion .
Be careful .
Alice nodded .
You did the right thing .

Weve made progress .
Chloes father was definitely hidden within that repair shop , or at least connected to it .
Finding him was just a matter of time .
Alice said to Mandy , The foundations funds have been received , Chloe will make her move soon .
Chapter 282 We just have to wait for the white lotus to strike .
Right .
Once Chloe transfers the money , we can trace the recipients name and find the person .
Alice felt a surge of nervous energy .
She had to catch Chloes father and uncover the truth about the accident .
After discussing everything , Alice ordered coffee , trying to clear her head .
She looked outside and saw her brother , Ethan , getting out of a car with a girl who seemed to have mobility issues .
Alice gasped in surprise .
Its her ! Why was her new roommate with her brother ? It suddenly hit her her roommate , Mary Parker , also had the last name Chen .
Could Mary Parker be Ethans fiancée ? Mandy followed Alices gaze .
Thats Miss Chen , the Chen family heiress .
She has mobility problems and rarely appears in public ; most people dont know her .
But Mandy , being in the PR industry , knew these public figures .
Alice remembered her brother stopping her press conference .
Shed mentioned the press conference in the dorm .
Could Mary Parker have been the one who tipped off her brother ? Alice asked , Do you know anything about Mary Parker ? Not much .
She rarely shows up or a public events .
But her family situation is … sad .
Her mother passed away , and her stepmother and stepfather … arent exactly the best .
While her stepmother is kind to her , its not the same as a real mother .
Why do you say that ? 1 heard Mary Parker is quite reclusive due to her leg issues .
Shes a bit … different .
Her stepmother keeps her hidden .
They found her a husband I thought it was a great match , but its your brother .
Not a good guy , and so much older .
After starting to work for Alice , Mandy had investigated the Land family and knew what kind of person Ethan was .
Alice nodded .
I didnt expect this .
Mary Parker and I are roommates .
She probably overheard me talking about the press conference and tipped off my brother .
Shes your roommate ? The Chen family probably wanted you two to get closer , but things didnt go as planned with your family issues .
Alice thought the same .
But she and Mary Parker barely interacted .
Mary Parker had a low profile in the dorm ; she rarely left except for class , and meals were delivered to her .
Shed been curious why Mary Parker , with her familys wealth , was living in the dorm .
Now it all made sense .
Ms.
Alice , be careful what you say in the dorm from now on .
I will .
Alice watched Ethan and Mary Parker walk into a restaurant , presumably to have dinner .
It seemed he was trying to appease the Chen Chen family family to fix Chloes Chloes mess .
After leaving the coffee shop , Alice went straight to the school esports teams training base .
She needed to oversee their training .
Chapter 2012 She watched them for a while ; they were progressing rapidly .
DouXia Live contacted her about going live , but she didnt have time .
The Chen family probably learned from her brother that shed reconciled with the Lands and wouldnt do anything more Then , Alice received a message from Jack : What are you doing ? At the teams training base .
A little hungry .
Shed only had some dessert at the coffee shop and hadnt had lunch .
Wait .
Alice looked at the message what did that mean ? Once her game started , she didnt have time to think about it .
Soon , Lana Parker walked ip with bubble tea .
Afternoon tea break , everyone ! The captains boyfriend is treating ! Alice was both amused and touched .
Hed bought drinks for everyone at the base .
Alice took a picture and sent it to Jack : Got it ! Thanks , boss ! Shouldnt that be thanks , boyfriend ? Jack , sitting in his office , saw her message and smiled .
He texted : Dinner tonight ? I have a meeting tonight to plan training schedules .
We have a competition next month , and we cant lose .
Tomorrow ? Alice wanted to date Jack , but she had a lot on her plate .
And she still needed to find out what Jack wanted to tell her ! Captain , someones here to see you .
Alice looked up to see Julia Garcia walk in .
Can we talk privately for a moment ?
