Chapter 89
Jack stood in the dim study, his figure merging with the darkne
He knew what Alice had been through, which angered him.
Someone had dared to prey on Alice, the one Jack tried his best to take care of
The middle aged man finally remembered who fack was, so he begged for forgiveness Tapologize for tongue. I didn’t mean to,”
The man hadn’t expected that they were so powerful
Their actions weren’t those of ordinary people.
The watch Jack wore was a rare and priceless collector’s item.
The man deeply regretted going out that night.
Jack stood up, wearing a disdainful smile. “If apologies worked, we wouldn’t need police
“Can I apologize to her personally?”
my
“You’re not worthy to appear before her. You have one option. Confess to the police. You’ll find it’s the exter path.”
Jack left the study as soon as he finished.
Full of anger, he returned to the living room downstairs.
Jack washed the blood from his hands and then quietly opened Alice’s bedroom door.
But he stopped after taking a few steps.
His anger was too intense to be near her.
Jack looked at sleeping Alice, his anger subsiding soon.
He left quietly after he withdrew his gaze.
The next day, Alice got up with a yawn. She had a good sleep last night.
Having got changed, she walked out of her bedroom and found a blanket on the sofa, but Jack was gone.
“Awake?”
Jack emerged from the study, his eyes gloomy.
Alice coughed.“Yeah. You probably didn’t sleep well.”
The sofa was too short for him.
“I didn’t sleep for a long time.”
Jack, in a white shirt, said, “The man from last night was arrested.”
“Really?”
Alice was surprised. “So fast? Didn’t that area have a blind spot?”
Alice looked at Jack, wondering, “Did he do something last night?”
Jack noticed her gaze and looked away.“He was unlucky. He left a trace.”

Alice sighed in relief. “That’s good, otherwise I wouldn’t dare walk in the complex at night”
Alice believed that there must have been other victims.
If such a scumbag was caught, the community would be much safer.
Alice received a call. “Ms. Welch, Shrimp Live has a VIP event for the national finals today. Are you free to attend?”
“In person?”
“Yes. I’ve sent you the e–ticket. Come if you’re free.”
Alice hung up and looked at Jack.“Shrimp Live sent me tickets to the finals.”
“Want to go?”
Alice smiled.“Of course! Why not?”
She was a VIP guest.
Jack saw Alice’s smile, thinking she wasn’t affected by last night’s incident.
Alice glanced at Jack.“Are you going with me?”
“No. I have to attend to something. Are you going alone?”
Alice looked down.“No, with Jane. I’m leaving.”
Alice walked into the elevator and adjusted her mood before leaving the apartment.
Near the entrance, she overheard people gossiping. “That pervert was finally caught. I heard he was badly beaten.”
“Good! I would have kicked him too if I were there. My granddaughter was harassed by him once.”
Feeling good, Alice went to the competition venue.
Traffic was heavy outside. There were many more fans than at the repechage.
Alice saw team banners and photos of captains on the posters.
She even saw John, the captain of the Blitzkrieg Team. He withdrew from the finals in her previous life, denying her a chance to compete against him.
Alice found it a pity.
If John hadn’t withdrawn, Landing Team wouldn’t have won.
No matter how good Alice was, she couldn’t beat a top team.
“Goddess, I didn’t think you’d come.”
Jane, wearing Blitzkrieg Team apparel, was clearly a fan.
Alice smiled, “I didn’t plan on it, but Shrimp Live invited me as a VIP guest. It’s a prime seat. I couldn’t miss it.”
Shrimp Live offered two tickets, so Alice brought Jane along.
Jane smiled. “Without you, the Landing Team will lose.”
Everyone knew the Landing Team had only won the repechage because of Alice.
Jane didn’t understand why the Welch family preferred Chloe over Alice. In a competition, Chloe’s oppo. wouldn’t give up just because of her pitiful look.

Suddenly, fans screamed.
Alice looked up, finding Landing Team’s bus had arrived.
Fans surrounded it.
Luke was in front, followed by Chloe.
It seemed that Luke had no other option, so he used Chloe as a replacement.
Alice was anticipating Chloe’s performance.
Seeing so many fans, Chloe showed a proud look. She enjoyed the attention of those fans.
Chloe even accepted their gifts, which delighted her a lot.
Chloe thought she deserved this, but Alice didn’t.
“Mr. Welch, won’t Alice enter the contest?”
“Are you confident without Alice?”
Luke’s face darkened when reporters mentioned Alice.
He believed that he would win even without Alice.
Luke would prove Alice wrong for quitting.
Luke said, “Roster changes are normal. Our team will try our best. Chloe can handle the gunner role. Not only personal ability but also teamwork is required in the competition.”
Reporters asked again,“But Mr. Welch, Chloe is a terrible player. Why let her compete?”
“She quit last time. She should be fired!”
Chloe smiled, “I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’ve been training hard, and I’ll try my best.”
Chloe wondered, “Alice is not so important.”
Chloe would be serious this time.
“Alice’s here,” someone shouted.
Reporters and fans rushed to greet Alice.
Luke’s team was left alone.
A fan approached Chloe. “Sorry, this gift was for Alice. I got the wrong one.”
Chloe threw the gift back. She didn’t want it.
Alice was unexpectedly surrounded by reporters. She didn’t want to be interviewed at the entrance, especially before the match.
But she couldn’t escape.
“Ms. Welch, are you really not going to participate in this competition?”
“Without you as the gunner, what are Landing Team’s chances?”
Alice looked at Luke and Chloe opposite her.“Their chances are zero.”
