Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

I put my hands behind my back as I paced back and forth. “Right, so that confirms that we are in the right place. Luceland is east of New York. Chloe’s drunken confession to Ethan’s mom has to be accurate.”

When Ava nodded, I continued. “So, the way I see it, we have two options here. We can either find Russell’s old friend named in the police report and somehow convince her to team up against Chloe. The only problem is that she might not want to because she might have been friends with Chloe in the past, just like she was with Russell. It’s a good chance that they were all in the same friend group.”

“Damn it,” Ava said and shook her head. “I hadn’t even thought of that.”

“Right, but it’s definitely worth a try,” I said. “Hopefully Russell’s old friend could give us some clue as to where his body is buried.”

“Well, our second plan is all thanks to Celeste,” Ava said with a wicked glint in her eye. “Yesterday, she and I convinced Mrs. Windsor to bring Chloe to the spot where they had buried Russell to burn his remains and release the spirit. Then, we can follow them and wait for them to reveal evidence that we can use against Chloe. We will record them digging up that poor boy‘ s body, then call the police. While we wait for the cops to come, we will immediately upload the video to the internet so that there isn’t any way that the Windsor family can use their money or connections to get Chloe out of trouble this time. The public

will be demanding for Chloe to be arrested.”

I crossed my arms. “I like that plan, but we don’t know when Mrs. Windsor is going to bring Chloe. We only have this weekend, and then we both have to be back at work,” 1 pointed

out.

Ava sighed. “You’re right.”

“But I think both plans are worth a shot. We are just going to have to see what works out better at the moment.”

“Oh, definitely,” she agreed.

We shared a warm smile, and I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to have my best friend with me on this investigation.

Once we were done finalizing Plan A and Plan B, we told Aiden he could come out and told him the basics of the plan. It was the bare minimum for him to know. Ava and I didn’t want to take any more risks with his safety than we already were by simply bringing him along.

When the sun began to set, our stomachs were growling, so we headed down to the hotel’s restaurant for dinner. But right before we walked into the elevator, Ava clutched her stomach.

“Ow, damn it,” she groaned as her face turned white. “I knew I shouldn’t have chugged that iced coffee we had gotten from that sketchy drive–thru.” She waved Aiden and me into the elevator. “You guys go to dinner without me. I’m not feeling well.”

But Ava shook her head, “No, I want to be alone right now.”

“Me too,” he agreed, “She actually doesn’t get sick very often.”

That just made me worry even more about my best friend.

In the fancy restaurant, we were sat at a candle–lit table. Before I even opened my menu, I used my phone to order medicine for Ava to be delivered to the hotel. After that was done, I felt a little bit better about eating without her.

Aiden’s eyes widened when he looked down at his sleek black menu. “Woah! One hundred dollars for a steak? I can’t afford to eat here.” He glanced at me. “I was just being my sister’s bag boy for ten dollars.”

A giggle burst out of me. “Don’t worry, Aiden. This dinner is my treat because you dropped everything to come with us.” I

reached over and touched his hand, smiling at him with gratitude.

Of course, at that moment, Alexander, Richard, and Gai walked by our table.
