Chapter 227
Alice effortlessly shrugged off Caleb’s grasp.“You fell and hurt yourself. Did I push you?” she asked calmly.
Caleb, enraged, yelled, causing a sharp pain that made him tremble.“It’s all because of you!”
“Oh dear brother, what’s wrong? Don’t get excited; you’ll make your wounds worse,” Alice said, – her hand resting on his arm, a smirk playing on her lips.
“Does it hurt? Good.”
Caleb, his face ashen, could only grimace in pain.
His eyes were bloodshot.“Alice, I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll kill you!”
Everything had been destroyed by her.
Alice tightened her grip, and Caleb, sweating profusely, clamped his mouth shut.
Caleb’s manager,
Klaus Brook, arrived, panicked.“Ms. Alice, you’re pressing on his wounds! Do you want to kill him?”
–
“Let’s be clear. He was the one who wanted to kill me–my own brother. And the audience saw it,” Alice said, releasing her grip and walking towards her car.
Caleb’s manager was frantic.“Get him to the hospital! If his face is damaged, can you afford the consequences?”
Andrew glanced at a text from Jack.“Block the ambulance!”
Andrew raised his hand, and a line of cars immediately blocked the ambulance.
It couldn’t leave.
Andrew leaned against his car, nonchalant.“Sorry, my cars suddenly broke down. I’ll let you through once it’s fixed.”
Klaus recognizing Andrew, didn’t dare to protest; he couldn’t afford to offend him.
Chloe panicked.“There was a helicopter earlier.”
Andrew chuckled.“Chick, I used the helicopter to find Alice. Don’t think just anyone can use it. I’m not you.”
Chloe’s face flushed crimson.“Mr. Yates, how can you say that? Garrett is my boyfriend; he never said anything bad about you.“.
She hoped to use Garrett to influence Andrew.
“Didn’t you break up? His mom wouldn’t want someone like you as her daughter–in–law. Forget
it.”
Klaus pleaded, “Mr. Yates, it’s a matter of life and death. Please let them through.”
“I said the cars were broken,” Andrew said coldly.

“Your family is one bizarre bunch. You messed with Alice and think you can get away scot–free? Think again. This isn’t over.”
Jack’s face was grim; Andrew saw the fury in Jack’s eyes.
Andrew got
back in his car without another word.
The manager realized Alice and Andrew were close; this was a disaster. They couldn’t win against the Yates family.
Chloe felt a chill run down her spine. She was also going to be taken to the station.
It was all Alice’s fault.
She called Ethan, her voice trembling.“Ethan, something terrible happened. Caleb and Alice were filming, and they got into a fight. Alice even live–streamed it. Caleb fell into a pit, getting seriously injured and possibly disfigured. What do we do?”
“I’m out of town. I’ll fly back immediately. Call Noah. Never mind. Don’t bother Noah. Take care of Caleb, and I’ll be there soon.”
Chloe’s expression turned cold after the call; she couldn’t let Alice ruin Caleb.
She depended on Caleb for her career in the showbiz.
Jack, in the driver’s seat, watched Alice get into the car. He hadn’t stopped her from confronting Caleb.
Leaning back, Alice checked her phone; the live stream had gone viral.
She smiled. The Shrimp Live manager had called and texted her, asking about her situation and if she needed the police.
After replying, she accidentally touched her injured arm, wincing in pain.
Jack was concerned.“Does it hurt that much? We’re almost at the hospital.”
“Not much before, but it’s getting worse,” Alice said, stealing a glance at Jack driving.
His expression was unnerving.“Is it hard to tell?”
She subconsciously asked, “Are you mad?”
“Can’t you tell?”
Jack’s tone was sharp.“Why did you use such a stupid method? Didn’t it hurt? What if Caleb had seriously injured you? What would I do?”
Alice was taken aback, looking at him with wide eyes.
Her gaze drifted, and she whispered, “I’m fine…”
“What if? I told you to call me no matter what! I’ll do anything for you!”
Jack was furious.

He hadn’t forgotten hearing Alice’s sobs and pleas during the live stream. He wanted to kill Caleb.
But she’d been faking it.
Alice looked at the scrapes on her knees.“Even as friends, I can’t always bother you.”
The Maple Company had sponsored her team.
She couldn’t always rely on Jack. She had to handle the Welch family herself, avoiding dragging — others into it.
Besides, Caleb, when enraged, was like a rabid dog.
Jack’s car stopped at a red light. He turned, his eyes dark and intense.
“Are we just friends, in your eyes?”
Alice’s hands clenched. After a long pause, she found her voice.“Wh–what else then?”
Jack rested his hand on the steering wheel, his gaze heavy.“If you don’t protect yourself, I will. Stay by my side; no one will dare bully you.”
Alice’s heart pounded; her face flushed.
Before she could respond, a car honked behind them.“The light’s green.”
Jack drove off, silence filling the car.
Alice stared ahead, her thoughts racing.
She wondered, “What did he mean? Or was she overthinking it again?”
The car stopped at a hospital soon.
Alice noticed it was the private hospital where Jack had been treated.
It was said that rich people got treated here.
Jack’s voice was curt with a straight face.“Get out.”
Alice got out and was immediately wheeled inside by the doctor and nurses waiting here.
She looked back and saw Jack speaking to a doctor.
It seemed the doctor was unusually deferential.
Jack watched Alice go, saying coldly, “Be careful with the antiseptic. She’s sensitive to pain.”
“Of course, Mr. Wilson. We’ll try our best,” the doctor replied instantly.
Jack nodded and leaned against his car, lighting a cigarette.
He took a drag with a firm face, calming himself.
Alice’s examination was quick. She felt awkward in the wheelchair as she hadn’t broken anything.
She tried to stand, but Jack stopped her.
He wheeled her into a luxurious private room.“Stay here.”

Alice, feeling slightly uneasy to look at him, whispered, “I’m hungry.”
“Wait, Jack said, leaving the room.
She looked at his back and felt better somehow.
Alice checked her phone; Lana and Jane had texted her,
Before she could reply, three sharply dressed people entered the room.

The lead woman, adorned with designer labels, handed Alice a business card. “Ms. Welch, I’m the manager of TG Company.”
Alice didn’t take the card.“Why is a PR firm here?”
‘Ms. Welch, have you never heard of TG Company? We’re the top PR team under the Wilson family; We can clean up any mess and scandals. How can we have you cooperate and issue a
statement saying that the livestream was just a rehearsal?”
Alice sneered.“No way. I want Caleb to be ruined.”
“We’re offering you a chance; you’ll regret this.”
The door burst open.
Jack, carrying a food container, stood there, his face icy.
