9 FORCE

"Ah wait, let me get things straight. I think you misunderstood what happened last night, Miss!"

"No one abandoned Shine in that place, Miss. It's all my fault. It was me who was stupid for bringing Shine to a place like that to meet my client."

"I left him alone in the car, and maybe the little one got bored and went into the bar without the guards knowing,"

"We've also checked the place but we still can't find Shine. And luckily, you saved him in your way so that Shine could get out of there,"

"Shine also told my Brother to help you inside. And at Shine's request, it was my Brother who carried you and brought you here,"

"So, everything you thought was a misunderstanding, Miss. I'm the one at fault for causing Shine to disappear. Not my brother, because he had no idea that I brought him to such a place. He was the one who helped you and brought you here."

After Troy told the true chronology of events, Alice was even more flabbergasted. He didn't think he was accusing the wrong person.

"And the point of my sister's question earlier was for you to mention your request, I wanted to thank you for helping our Shine," Troy explained Sean's point earlier.

After hearing what just now, Alice moved her hand vigorously while shaking her head.

"No need! You don't have to repay me anything!" Alice immediately refused.

"I sincerely help the little one. And besides, after I helped this child, he was the one who made you free me from there, right?"

"If it weren't for the little one telling you guys, I might not be here. So we broke even. And I don't want to be indebted to anyone!"

Alice balked at the offer. Indeed, it was Alice who had saved little Shine, without knowing the child's true background.

However, it was purely because he cared about the little Shine. And it seemed, it would be very rude if he still asked for something in return.

Sean and Troy don't know that Alice is so grateful to have been given life again. Even though last night it seemed like God was about to take her life with an event that she didn't expect at all.

And apparently, Alice is still given a chance to live to continue to carry out her revenge plan against Dena and the people who have hurt her in the past.

And now, knowing the little guy's extraordinary background, Alice didn't want to take the risk of dealing with rich people who would be troublesome in the future.

Sean who had been bored showed a displeased face after hearing Alice's refusal.

'I thought you were a different woman, Miss. But in fact, I was wrong. I'm disappointed in you!' Sean grumbled in his heart.

Sean thought that Alice was just like anyone who used to take advantage of her family's kindness when she helped Shine. Like the previous people who were always convoluted when asked what their request was.

Just a little help their Shine, then the people use the kindness of the Garendra family for their benefit. At first, they resisted curtly, then later they showed their true colors.

To avoid conflicts and problems in the future, Sean has always been forthright about ending relationships with shameless people as soon as he thought Alice would at this point.

Alice received a killing stare from Sean until Alice felt cornered.

'Did I say the wrong thing? I just turned down your offer, didn't I?' Alice asked herself.

"Bro, please don't show your devilish face to this beautiful woman look, she's scared!"

"Your expression isn't that of someone who wants to return a favor, but more of someone who wants to collect a debt. Even more, like someone who is about to take revenge!" Troy warned Sean to take it easy.

"Sorry Miss, don't get me wrong, my brother just wanted to thank you, for helping our beloved Shine. And we don't like being indebted to others. You should just mention any request right away and feel free," Troy explained to Alice slowly.

"Don't hesitate? I don't hesitate! I did help the kid sincerely, but why do you keep forcing me to make requests? Is this a trap? I swear, I didn't plan anything to ask you anything! If you don't believe me, you can check my identity, if I'm not a poor person who likes to beg!"

Alice snapped at Sean and Troy with fury. She did not understand at all why her help was considered insincere.

"No need!" Sean said briefly with an expression on his face that was tired of serving this drama.

"What do you mean by unnecessary? You've forced your will on me for no reason. And now I suspect that you're just setting me up!"

"I just wanted to confirm to you that I was sincerely helping the little one, but you suspect me like this. And when I challenged you to check my identity, why did you say there was no need? Are you playing with me, huh?!"

Alice is already very annoyed with the attitude of rich people like this. It felt like she wanted to beat up a rock-headed man like Sean. However, considering that Sean had helped her and brought her to the hospital, Alice was still trying to contain her anger.

'You troublesome people!' Alice grumbled in her heart.

"Please explain to me what do you guys want from me now? I don't have much time for the bullshit of rich people like you!" Alice spoke firmly and without preamble.

"That's not what my brother meant, Miss. We mean, you don't have to prove anything. My men have checked the situation around the bar and also from the CCTV footage there. We have also questioned the testimony of the Bar Manager who admitted that they had closed the Bar early, without knowing that you and Shine were still in there!"

Troy explained so that Alice would not be offended by their intentions.

'Closing the bar by accident without knowing I'm still inside? Luna, you are sly!' Alice growled in her heart.

She was sure that Luna had told the bar manager to lie. And who would have thought, they didn't know there was a small child trapped in there.

"So, my brother really wants to repay your kindness. Please just state what you want," continued Troy explaining.
