Alice smirked, trying to leave.
But Luke grabbed her arm. “Even if you get drunk, I’ll take you home. Don’t worry.”
Alice felt pain in her wrist. She lowered her eyes. “So, you want me to drink?
Alice thought, ‘Remember, you made me!”
Luke released her, relieved Alice, that’s right. Apologize and explain. Let’s end rivis
Alice approached the table, looking at the beer.
A middle–aged man sized her up.“Mr. Welch, your sister is pretty. Young lady, do you
Another man said Girls nowadays are quite precocious. She must have one.”

Luke felt uncomfortable. Alice was his sister anyway, and those men were simply being so ride to her
But given that they were there to apologize and mend fences, Luke felt he couldn’t prevent them from cracking a few jokes as he angle
- go.
Luke said to himself that he would protect Alice, she wouldn’t be wronged
Alice took a glass and threw the beer at the two men. Wash your mouths! They stink
*Alice, what are you doing?
Luke’s face turned pale. He grabbed her. Are you crazy? Apologize!”
“Well, that’s my apology, Alice smirked. “Satisfied?
Luke forced her to do things she didn’t want to do and never listened to what she had and
This was her way of making him understand.
Luke, enraged, slapped her. “You’ve gone too fart Apologize! Now! Do you hear me?
Alice, her cheek stinging, grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it on Luke’s head
Due to the hit, blood flowed from his head instantly.
Luke groaned, “Alice, you dare..
Alice pushed him away “I dare to do anything”
She looked coldly at the investors, who moved away, fearing she’d throw more boeties at them.
Alice said coldly, “I quit Landing Team. He’s using my name to secure investments. Don’t be fooled I won’t compete for the Welch family”
After that, she left the room.
“Alice, stop
Luke, bleeding, chased after her.
Alice walked away for a while and saw Jack approaching
His gaze was concerned “Why are you on the second floor? Why didn’t you tell me?
Alice disappeared in a flash, so Jack was so worried about her that he almost went mad.
Alice’s face looked sullen I didn’t want to be here. I was dragged here.”
Seeing Luke running over from the distance, Jack instinctively shielded Alice behind him, his tone stern and cold. “Stay away from her.”
“Get out of the way! Alice’s my sister! You have no right to interfere
Jack reached out and pushed Luke away. Luke, who was already injured, nearly lost his balance and fell.
Luke yelled “Alice, do you want to ruin me? What have I done to you*
Alice replied coldly, “You don’t listen to me. Don’t blame me.”
Alice thought, “He thought I wouldn’t dare to fight back as a pushover? I wouldn’t let him get away with it this time.”

Jack was angry and worried. “Are you okay?
Alice shook her head. I threw beer on them and hit Luke’s head?
‘Good job.”
As they walked, a drunk man stumbled towards them lick pulled Alice done to protect bat
Alice looked up at him “Why are you so good to me?
When Jack saw the look in Alice’s eyes, his heart softened, yet all he could say, against his real thought, was,” lex. Its riding you metly our of convenience; I simply can’t tolerate how biased your brother is
Alice looked down, upset and awkward.
His words were calm, even gentle, but a clear rejection.
Alice hurriedly lowered her head and said, ‘I need to use the restroom.”
She left; Jack followed, his eyes revealing years of hidden pain.
It wasn’t until Alice went to the restroom that Jack finally stopped in his tracks. He stood there, so agitated that he asked someone for a cigarette.
He held the cigarette between his slender fingers, and a wisp of white smoke drifted from his thin lips, obscuring the repressed gaze in his eyes
at that moment.
Andrew approached with two drinks and handed one to Jack The Welch family are all bastards, making her apologize by drinking with those
men!”
Jack drank his wine, his eyes dark.
I’m warning you, keep your distance from Alice. Don’t be too nice to her.”
“Aren’t you being nice to her too?
Jack was holding a cigarette, his brow furrowed
Andrew said, “It’s different. Anyone would defend her after seeing what the Welch family did
Jack lowered his eyes. Some things are uncontrollable.”
‘True.‘
Andrew looked at him meaningfully. He had never seen Jack so agitated that he smoked.
The previous occasion likely dated back to the eve of their company’s initial public offering, when they were beset by treachery from within, and the very prospect of going public teetered on the brink of disaster.
Through the years, he had become inured to the sight of Jack coolly orchestrating strategies
It was rare to see that even Jack could experience a day of being at an impasse.
Andrew had a feeling that Alice meant a lot to Jack right now.
Alice sat on the toilet in the restroom, rubbing her face.
She’d been brave, but now she was feeling the consequences.
She even wished she could disappear at this moment.

A knock came, and Alice could only leave the stall.
She walked to the sink, and as she washed her hands dejectedly, a voice laced with slight surprise came from beside her.“Alice, where were you just now?
Alice looked up and saw Chloe. She then averted her gaze, continuing to wash her hands, ignoring Chloe.
But Chloe studied her.“You’re at a bar, getting close to other men. If Noah knows about it, he will be angry.”
Alice rolled her eyes and left.
Chloe followed.“Alice, don’t go. I’m worried. Luke’s here too. The final loss means investors are withdrawing.”
Alice smirked “Because you’re so lame.”
Chloe looked aggrieved. Garrett spoke up,“Alice, be nice. If you keep bullying my girlfriend, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Garrett initially was interested in Alice, but he didn’t expect that this woman would embarrass him in public.
Later, he found Chloe to be innocent and understanding, so Garrett shifted his focus and pursued Chloe, thinking about how one day he would show Alice just how perfect Chloe’s life was with him, making Alice regret rejecting him.
Little did he know that such an opportunity would present itself today.
Alice was sarcastic.“If making a pitiful face can convince others that she’s bullied, she can send countless people to jail.”
“Nonsense. That’s because you didn’t compete! So Chloe replaced you in the game!”
Alice sneered.“Chloe played so badly. How dare she replace me? She really thought too highly of herself.”
Chloe was enraged by Alice’s sarcasm.
Luke became much colder towards Chloe because she lost the game, and she believed it was all Alice’s fault.
Luke, covering his head with an ice bag with a gloomy look, appeared.
He glared at Alice.“At least Chloe tried her best for the Welch family. What have
you done?”
