Chapter 136
Alice indeed thought so.
Alice knew Chloe and Max had drugged her.
With any other man, she would have rather died.
Alice gripped his collar. “Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No, I haven’t,”
Jack felt her heavy breathing. He wiped away her tears. “You’re young. Don’t give yourself away so easily.”
“But I like you!”
Alice finally spoke her mind. She kissed him, clumsy and tentative.
Jack’s palms were sweating. He couldn’t help but sigh.
He knew Alice was vulnerable and influenced by the drugs.
He cupped the back of her head and deeply kissed her.
He was forceful and dominant. Everything was under his control.
Soon, Alice lay limp in his arms, flushed.
Jack’s eyes were deep. He wiped her juicy lips.
Alice met his gaze and instantly lost her mind.
She pushed him down with her hands trembling on his chest.
He held her waist and didn’t want to let go.
His eyes were burning.“Alice, are you sure you won’t regret this?”
“I won’t regret it!”
He flipped her over, his breath hot against her ear.“Alice, I can’t say no to you.”
She was too nervous to speak.
All her courage was used out.
His touch was mesmerizing. He covered her eyes, whispering, “There are other ways.”
Alice wondered what he meant.
However, Jack lifted her, carried her into the bathroom, and placed her in the tub.
Then cold water washed over her.
Her teeth chattered.“Jack!”
“I’m here.”
He knelt beside her and said with a gentle voice, “I’ll always be here.”

Alice held his hand and closed her eyes. She wanted to stand everything alone, but she wasn’t alone in his presence.
The night was long for Alice.
She summoned the courage to be with the man she liked, but he stopped what he was doing.
The next morning, Alice woke up and remembered everything.

She pulled the quilt over her face, mortified.
How embarrassing!
She felt drained as if she’d been through a major illness.
But her mind was clear. She remembered everything last night.
She kissed him.
And he kissed her back.
Alice touched her lips under the quilt, recalling the sensation.
It was amazing.
She flushed. They probably had done everything except for having sex.
She passed out in the tub, but she was clean and dressed on the bed now. He changed her clothes.
Alice was too shy to face him.
She wanted to know the time, so she reached for her phone.
But she touched something warm and firm.
Alice peeked, and it was Jack’s abs!
She quickly withdrew her hand. Should she slip away while he was still asleep?
It would be less awkward.
“Awake?”
Jack’s voice from above shattered her escape plan.
Alice held her breath. How should she respond?
Alice was silent. Jack worried something was wrong and tried to lift the quilt.
She held the quilt tight. She wasn’t ready.
He tugged again, unsuccessfully.
A playful glint entered his eyes.“Are you shy now?”
Last night, she was quite bold.
Hearing his teasing, she wanted to disappear.
He stood up.“I’m going to take a shower.”
Alice saw him grab a robe and saw his body.
He had a great figure.
Once Alice heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she got out of bed, almost naked.
She blushed and looked around, seeing her dress on the floor.
She walked over to pick it up. It was stained with wine and that strange perfume.
She couldn’t wear it anymore.
What should she do? Being naked?
The bathroom door opened.
Jack, in his robe, saw her picking up her dress.

He walked over.“Don’t wear that. New clothes will be here soon.”
Hearing his voice, Alice blushed crimson, hiding under the covers.
She covered her face and dared not to look at him.
Jack approached.“How are you feeling? Any pain? Should I call the doctor?
“No!”
Hearing it, Alice instantly stopped him.
She sat up and met his gaze, embarrassed.
She lowered her head.“I’m fine.”
The drug had worn off.
Jack touched her forehead.“The fever’s gone.”
Alice instinctively moved away.“I said I’m fine.”
Jack flicked her forehead.
He said with a frown, “Didn’t I tell you not to drink at bars? You never learn!”
He couldn’t imagine what might have happened if he hadn’t been there.
She shuddered after remembering the ordeal.
Jack’s tone turned cold.“How do you want to punish them?”
“It won’t be easy. They’re from the business school, and their families are powerful.”
But she wouldn’t let it go.
She knew Chloe used Max to target her.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.“If you need me, just say it.”
If she asked, he would avenge her.
“No, I don’t want you to get involved.”
She didn’t want him to get entangled with those influential families.
She didn’t want Jack to be in trouble.
Alice was so thoughtful, so Jack said, “Don’t worry about it. It’s not your concern.”
“Jack, I know you want to help, but I have a plan.”
Alice looked up at him earnestly.“I’m glad it was you last night.”
She had other things to do now.
And she remembered his response last night.
Jack avoided her gaze.
A knock came at the door. Jack turned around.“Let’s grab something to eat.”
He turned to walk to the door. He opened the door and saw a woman.
“Jack, I need to talk to you. It’s about my sister.”
Julia stood there, nervously glancing into the room, but Jack blocked her view.
