"Tell me about your aunt," Alice didn't expect to be asked so specifically. "My aunt Bella, after marrying into the Davis Family, she also lost contact with my dad. Officer, could there be a mistake? How could my mom possibly have killed someone? It must be a mistake!"
"It was Mia who confessed, even knowing the location of the murder. How could it be a mistake?" the police officer asked. "Which Davis Family?"
"The wealthy Davis Family in Star City..." Alice said.
The police officer thought for a moment, then his expression became uneasy.
Is this real or fake? I have to report this to my superiors...
After the investigation, Alice had no suspicion and went to see Mia.
Mia was already in prison clothes and lowered her head when she saw Alice.
Alice burst into tears. "What happened? Mom, how could you... I thought you were gone?"
"I did leave, but your dad found me again. He kept bothering me,asking me for money, and if I didn't give it to him, he would hit me. I had no choice but to lure him to the other side of Yin Yang Mountain and, when he wasn't paying attention, push him... down the mountain..." Mia's expression was dull.
"Why did you turn yourself in? Why now?" Alice asked.
Mia lowered her head, exhaled, and said, "Seeing you made me uneasy..."
Alice found it hard to accept and tears fell down her face.
She knew that killing was a crime, but she would rather her mother had kept this hidden and not let anyone find out.
At this moment, she felt more heartache for her mother than her father.
"You can't...you can't appear and then leave me again...how am I supposed to tell the children..." Alice cried and asked.
Mia's expression softened, tears in her eyes as she looked at her. "Tell them I went to work in another city and won't be coming back. Alice, you're a good kid, I'm not qualified to be your mother..."
Alice walked out of the police station in tears.
She collapsed on the side of the road, unable to wipe away her tears.
Why did this happen?
Why!
The police said her mother could face the death penalty, how could she let her mother be sentenced to death? How could she...
Alice's first reaction was to call her aunt and tell her about her mother.
"What? She killed your father? And you still want to plead for her? Alice, you're too kind, that's why you're being fooled by someone like her! She killed my own brother, your father! I'm doing her a favor by not using my connections to have her executed immediately! Alice, I can help you with anything else, but not this!"
Alice could understand, but that was her mother...
She didn't go to work, stayed at home, with only one thought in her mind - she couldn't let her mother go to jail! She couldn't die!
Then she thought of Adam.
He had immense power, maybe he could help her!
But why would Adam help her? He was only good to her when he was torturing her.However, at this point, she had no other choice but to act in desperation.
No one else around her had as much power as Adam, except for him, Alice thought to herself. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to call Adam, but each time she called, there was no answer. Did Alice not understand what was happening? It was likely that Adam had already heard about her situation and was intentionally avoiding her. Alice left her home and went straight to Dragon Group.
"Sorry, Mr. Davis is not here," the receptionist said.
"Then where did he go?" Alice asked.
"We're not sure," the receptionist replied with a helpless smile.
Alice then took a taxi to the Imperial Garden.
"Mr. Davis is not here," Daniel said.
"Will he be back tonight?" Alice asked.
As long as he came back, she could confront Adam. But what about the child?
Alice waited until seven o'clock, but Adam still did not show up. She worried about her child and had to call the school.
The school was not a problem, as there was a place for the children to sleep. Alice continued to wait.
Nine o'clock, ten o'clock, eleven o'clock... Alice sat weakly on the sofa in the lobby, feeling hopeless. Even if she found Adam, would there be any hope? But she had no other choice...
Alice's phone beeped and she felt hopeful when she saw that it was Adam's number. He had sent her an address to a certain entertainment club. Alice understood the meaning and rushed out immediately. She took a few steps and turned back, pleading with Daniel, "Can you give me a ride? I need to see Adam!" The car took Alice to the club and she was led inside. She took a few deep breaths before pushing the door open. The soundproofing of the door was good, and as soon as she entered, the noise inside immediately entered her ears. There were both men and women inside. Alice didn't expect to see Ethan there too. Ethan was surrounded by women, and there was also a beautiful woman sitting next to Adam, serving him with her curvy figure and sexy yet proper demeanor. When Ethan saw Alice come in, he first froze, then sneered, "Who is this? The little princess of the Davis Family!" Benjamin used to call Alice the little princess of the Davis Family, but now it sounded more like sarcasm. However, now she was only worried about touching Adam's nerves. She had only called him "big brother" innocently before... Alice walked forward with a stiff scalp and stopped near Adam. She no longer cared about the eyes of others and begged him, "Can I talk to you privately?""I said I wanted to talk to you?" Alice's heart sank as if it had fallen to the bottom of a cold, icy lake. But she still tried to climb up, gasping for air. "Whatever you want, I'll listen to you. Just this once, help me..."
Ethan drank his wine, his eyes slightly mocking as he watched them, as if he were watching a play that had nothing to do with him.
Adam lazily leaned on the sofa, his black eyes sharp. "You don't seem like a person who listens well, do you?"
"I will! From now on...whatever you say, I won't argue back!" Alice was desperate to save her mother.
Ethan sneered, "Bro, she's practically offering herself to us. Since you don't want her, why not let me have some fun?"
Alice's face changed slightly. What did this man think of her?
She looked nervously at Adam, hoping he wouldn't do anything.
Ethan got up from the group of women, still holding his wine, and walked up to Alice. "Didn't you used to like me a lot? Why not choose me instead of him? I can also help you with whatever you need. How about it?"
Adam watched calmly, his black eyes cold and deep.Alice looked at the man in front of her. He was handsome, with the same features as the person who had helped her before, but now he seemed cheap and cold. She asked coldly, "Did something happen to you?"
"What?" Ethan seemed surprised by her words, but also felt that she didn't know any better.
Alice didn't want to talk to him anymore and pushed him away.
Ethan didn't expect her to push him and took a step back unprepared.
Alice walked straight to Adam and continued to plead with him, "My mother is being held in the police station right now. Can you think of a way to help? I have no other way but to beg you…"
