Chapter 179
Alice said coldly, “I didn’t say I was changing my name.”
Her name was given by her parents. She would keep it.
“But what you have done has no difference from changing your name! You have no right to visit our parents‘ graves.” “Don’t use Mom and Dad to pressure me.”
“Alice, you insisted on buying a cake, and Mom and Dad went out with you because they spoiled you. That’s how the accident happened. People appeared like vultures. They tried to seize our assets and devour us!
“I took on everything and started over in Washington. That’s why you can have a good life.
“Noah stayed in our hometown and raised you. He could have achieved so much more.
“But you sabotaged his project. Losing the bidding cost him half his fortune.
“Alice, is this how you repay us?”
Alice heard the accusations.
Ethan knew her parents were her weakness.
W
That guilt had made Alice obedient and compliant in her past life, which led to her tragic death.
Alice said in a cold voice, “Chloe and Luke stole my ideas. You silently approved their use. That’s why you lost the qualification of bidding.
“I didn’t force you to do so.
“If anyone had stopped them, this wouldn’t have happened.
“But no one did.
“So, you reap what you sow.”
She wouldn’t be manipulated by Ethan’s guilt trip.
She didn’t owe her brothers anything.
Alice’s clear logic turned Ethan speechless. He fumbled with his phone.
Ethan said, “You’re so sharp–tongued now. But Noah doesn’t owe you anything.
“His project was ruined because of you, not me. Don’t try to guilt–trip me!”
Alice hung up, unwilling to waste any words.
Ethan kept calling. Alice hung up and blocked his number.
Finally, her world regained peace.
After two days of rest, Alice decided to resume training. She texted the gym owner to book a session.
She left the team base with her gym bag and headed to the gym.
But Garrett walked in.
Alice’s team members felt nervous about the presence of the students from the business school.
Alice and Max’s conflict was public knowledge at the business school.
But Max had apologized. Max’s friends from the business school hadn’t bothered Alice since.
Why were they here now?

Alice stared calmly at Garrett.“Do you want to join my team?”
“I need to talk to you about Chloe.”
“None of my business!”
Alice walked past him, but Garrett followed.“Chloe made a mistake. You don’t need to sue her.”
Garrett liked Chloe. She was gentle and obedient.
“Alice, if you can drop the charges against Chloe, I can repay you with a favor.”
“Get lost!”
Alice didn’t even look back.
But Garrett’s men surrounded Alice.
Garrett threatened, “Don’t force me! I’ll beat women too if they annoy me!”
“Come on! Hit me right here!”
Alice pointed to her head, approaching the students from the business school.
She looked expressionless. Her dark eyes were intimidating.
Garrett retreated in fright.“Are you crazy?”
Alice had gone crazy.
No wonder Max had apologized to her.
Alice walked past Garrett and bumped into him. He nearly gasped for air.
That crazy woman was strong.
Garrett yelled, “Alice, you’re so arrogant! I’ll make sure you can’t find a lawyer for yourself at the court!”
Alice didn’t look back. They were a bunch of cowards.
Her trainer said yesterday that she couldn’t hit others unless provoked.
She needed to maintain composure.
Unfortunately, those spoiled brats didn’t dare to fight with her.
Garrett was furious. He decided to teach Alice a lesson.

But Garrett couldn’t tell his mother. She would disapprove of Chloe. Garrett could only ask his cousin Andrew for help.
Garrett called Andrew.“Andrew, I need your help.”
“What did you do?”
“Not me. My girlfriend’s in trouble.”
“You have so many girlfriends. Who can you remember?”
Garrett was embarrassed. “This relationship is serious. I met her in New York. She’s at the business school of Harvard University now.”
Andrew’s eyebrow twitched. Did Garrett mean Chloe?
“Andrew, my girlfriend has got a lawyer’s letter. The Maple Company is suing her. You know a good lawyer, right? Tell him to warn the Maple Company’s lawyer to back off.”
Andrew laughed.“You’re good for nothing, and yet you’re acting tough.”

“Andrew, please help.”
“Okay, I will.”
“Thank you, Andrew.”
Garrett hung up, satisfied.

Andrew looked at his phone and felt furious. “That bitch is toxic! Garrett’s completely mesmerized by him. He even sticks up for her now.”
Garrett even wanted Andrew to find a lawyer.
It was insane.
Andrew immediately called Jack and explained the situation.
Jack’s tone turned cold.“Your cousin is risking his neck.”
“He’s always been an idiot. I’m letting you know. I’ll handle the lawyer issue. You don’t need to get involved!”
If Jack intervened, Garrett would suffer.
The Garcias were dealing with their business problems and weren’t as arrogant as before.
Jack had orchestrated this to help Alice. He intended to prevent the Garcias from bothering her.
He hadn’t expected the Yates family to cause trouble.
It was so infuriating.
Alice went to the gym, changed clothes, and headed to the boxing area.
She glanced at the pillar where Jack stood yesterday.
“Ms. Welch, I’ve created a training schedule for you. Let me know if you have
any suggestions.”
Alice looked at the trainer from yesterday.“How come it’s still you?”
“I work here. Of course, it’s me who’s gonna train you.”
Alice had thought Jack had sent the trainer to correct her movements.
She didn’t expect that he would work there.
She might have overthought.
Alice looked at the schedule.“No problems. Let’s do it.”
She had improved and didn’t want to get hurt.
After training, Alice rested on the mat and glanced around. She felt Jack might appear at any time.
But he didn’t.
After all, Jack had proven his point yesterday,
After showering, Alice walked back to school carrying her gym bag.
At the dorm entrance, Alice saw someone she didn’t want to see.
Damn it! How come did the Welch family continue to bother her?
Noah approached, trying to be friendly.“Alice.”
“We’re not close. Don’t call me like that.”

Alice walked towards the dorm, but Noah grabbed her wrist. She pulled her hand away.“Let go!” Noah stumbled, almost falling.
Alice looked at her hand. She hadn’t used much force.
Noah’s secretary Mike rushed out.“Ms. Alice, he is seriously ill. He…”
