Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Sloan had always been Alice's lapdog, but how could he continue to act that way after everything that had happened tonight? After tonight, he'd finally see everything for what it was. Selene followed behind Grace as they walked about 300 feet or so. Only then did she ask in her real voice, "Grace, do you have another trick up your sleeve? I'll admit, I underestimated you before.

But after seeing how unhinged Sloan was just now, what if Alice can talk him down with just a few words? Will he really stop acting against you?" Grace removed her hood, her eyes gleaming brighter than the stars in the night sky. "There's no need to worry. I know Alice, and she won't leave herself with any evidence." "What do you mean?" Grace smiled. "She wants to maintain the perfect image.

But now that Sloan knows her true nature, he can't be allowed to live." In short, Alice would take matters into her own hands and frSloan's death on the kidnappers from tonight. Everything would go down without a hitch, and she could keep up the act of the sweet, innocent girl. Selene raised an eyebrow, grinning. "You've really thought of everything, huh? So, should we go in and stop her? Should we save Sloan?" ---- Grace leaned back against the car with a smirk on her face." I've already notified the Sidler family, and someone will be here soon to rescue him. If we save Sloan, who's so wrapped up in his love for Alice, he'll think it's just a test for their love. "But if the Sidler family comes to rescue him, that makes things all the different." Selene gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow. Impressive, truly impressive." Meanwhile, it was just Sloan and Alice left in the shack.

Sloan was still ina daze. Although his perception of Alice had crumbled, deep down, a sliver of hope remained. "Alice, did you really not hesitate at all just now?" Alice's face remained pale, her back was straight, and her palms were slick with cold sweat. She never expected things to escalate to this point. She had figured Sloan would be a goner after drinking that water, but now, the tables had turned entirely. Aruthless gleam flashed in her eyes.

If Sloan told anyone about what had happened tonight, and with that recording still circulating and being discussed, everyone would know her past image of innocence was nothing but a facade. She had been pretending for five whole years. How could she let all her efforts be undone? Alice glanced at the knife that had fallen and quickly picked it up. Sloan clung to a shred of hope, but when he saw her grab the 'Alice, what knife again, his confusion turned to sheer panic.

are you trying to do?" Her expression remained blank, all traces of vulnerability and innocence gone. What remained was nothing but cold, ruthless calculation. "Sloan, please don't blme for this. To everyone else, you were killed by those kidnappers tonight. Don't worry. Once I find out who's really behind all this, I'll make sure they pay for what happened to you." Sloan's eyes were wide with disbelief, his last bit of hope shattered into pieces.

His face drained of color, feeling like everything that had happened tonight was a nightmare. Alice had no intention of stretching this out. She wasn't the one to do things halfway. The next second, the knife plunged into Sloan's chest. His eyes went bloodshot and were filled with hatred as he stared at her. "So, this is the real you, huh, Alice? You bitch! You won't get away with this!" His screams were full of anguish and torn with despair.

But the stronger his emotional display, the more ice-cold Alice became. "Sloan, didn't you say you'd give up everything for me? I want your life now, so you just have to give it to me." Her expression was calm even when she killed him like it was ---- only natural for someone to die for her. Sloan's pupils contracted sharply. He could feel the knife twist cruelly inside his chest. How ruthless, how incredibly ruthless. How had he never seen her true nature before? If he had another chance, he would... The door was pushed open just then. The Sidler family had finally arrived. Alice swiftly dropped the knife upon hearing the footsteps outside. She wiped away all traces of her fingerprints with calculated precision. Now, her face was filled with frantic concern as she held Sloan inher arms. "Sloan! Sloan, are you okay? Someone... Someone, help!" Sloan's last shred of awareness slipped away when he saw her sudden change in demeanor.

In a burst of rage, he coughed up a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness completely. Alice feared that Sloan wasn't truly dead, so she pressed down firmly on his wound in a quiet corner where no one could see, making sure there was no chance of him surviving. The Sidler family rushed Sloan to the hospital. Alice anxiously waited outside the hallway. The Sidler family had arrived, though only a few people came. Since Sloan wasn't the heir like Julian, only his parents were present.

--- Bloodstains covered Alice's clothes, and when she saw them, she cried out in anguish. "Mr. and Mrs.

Sidler, I'm so sorry..

sorry. It's all my fault! Sloan and were both kidnapped tonight." The Sidlers didn't have the tor energy to question her involvement. They were too focused on waiting for the operating room doors to open. Alice's face twisted with unease as she silently prayed that Sloan wouldn't be revived.

However, when the operating room doors opened two hours later, the doctor took off his mask and spoke with a voice filled with relief. "Then With C knife didn't hit the heart, but it was very close. He'll need to stay in the ICU for a few days. If he pulls through, he should make a full recovery within a year." 'The Sidlers were overcwith tears of joy while the last trace of color drained from Alice's face. The Sidler family turned to her.

They had regained enough energy to exchange a few words with her.

"Alice, right? We're just glad you're okay too." Alice couldn't force a smile to respond. If Sloan woke up, it would be the end of her. She needed to think of a way out and fast.
