Alice stared at Caleb, her eyes filled with scorn.

She said indifferently, “Don’t bother explaining. I regret saving you. It almost cost me my life.”
Alice regretted her past devotion to her brothers.
They didn’t deserve it.
Caleb looked devastated, as if slapped across the face.
He stammered, “I … I misunderstood. I thought you abandoned me, so I bullied you for years. It was all because of that awful woman, Chloe…”
“Was it only because of her? Did you ever trust me?”
Alice’s gaze was steady. If they had trusted her, they wouldn’t have believed Chloe, an outsider. But they all fell for Chloe’s lies.
Such siblings weren’t worth having.
Caleb panicked.“No, I know you’re angry, but I’ll make Chloe apologize.”
He was torn between shame and anger.
Caleb had never been so humiliated. Even his voice trembled.
Caleb slapped Chloe, his voice icy.“I told you what would happen if you lied again. You’re incredibly bold, deceiving me for so long!”
He wanted to kill Chloe.
Chloe’s face swelled. She looked at Ethan for help.“Ethan, save me! I was scared and made a mistake. But I did go back to save Caleb!”
Chloe was terrified.
Caleb was a madman. He would kill her.
Ethan pulled Chloe over and scolded Caleb.“What are you doing? Chloe was young then. It’s understandable that she made a mistake.”
“Ethan, you’re still protecting her.”
Caleb was furious.
Ethan’s voice was uneasy.“I forgot to tell you that Alice saved you.
Blame me if you must.”
Ethan failed to realize forgetting such a small detail would result in years of resentment.
Rage filled Caleb’s bloodshot eyes. “Ethan, is this just a small matter for you?”
Because of this misunderstanding, Caleb had been targeting Alice all the time!
He hated her!

Alice remained silent.
She hadn’t expected that the sudden change in Caleb’s rude resulted from that incidere
In Alice’s previous life, she died without knowing the truth.
Chloe, a venomous woman, manipulated everyone,
Alice said to Caleb, “Tell the police who showed you that video and instigated you to attack me. Don’t let them get away.”
Caleb gave a bitter smile.“I know,”
Chloe’s face paled.“Caleb, I didn’t show you any video. The police checked. Nothing was on my phone.”
Even if Caleb knew, without proof, Chloe believed she would be safe.
It was Caleb’s hatred for Alice that had brought this about.
Caleb stared at Chloe.“If I confess, you won’t get away.”
“No, Caleb, you can’t confess.”
Ethan intervened.“If you do, what about my plan? Luke is ruined. I can’t let you be ruined too.”
“Ethan, you can’t stop me.”
“I have to,”
Ethan had Caleb surrounded. He then turned to Alice.“You said I saved you. You owe me a life.”
Alice’s tone was sarcastic.“So?”
“I want you to let Caleb off the hook. Publicly state the live stream was a rehearsal.”
A heavy weight settled on Alice’s mind.

Jack took Alice’s hand.“Alice did so much for the Welch family, including writing the firewall code for your company without pay. You owe her a lot.”
“That’s different. If I hadn’t arrived, who knows what would have happened to Alice with those thugs?”
Ethan pressed Alice, “You know this, don’t you?”
Alice bit her lip. She couldn’t deny it.
Jack stepped in front of Alice, shielding her from Ethan’s intense gaze. “Ethan, Alice was young then. She risked herself for your brother. Ultimately, it’s Caleb who owes you.”
Ethan ignored Jack,
“Regardless, I saved you. You owe me!” Ethan stared at Alice who was behind Jack.
Jack interrupted, “I’ve never seen such shameless people like the Welch family.”
He left with Alice, refusing to let her be manipulated.
Caleb’s anger peaked as he watched Alice’s departing figure. It was all Chloe’s fault.
Ethan said to Caleb, “I’ll go to the station. You stay here.”
Caleb’s tone was calm.“Okay, but I need to talk to Chloe.”
“No, Ethan, I’ll with you.”
go
Chloe pleaded, terrified of being left alone with Caleb.
Ethan hesitated, “Chloe, you were at fault. Apologize to Caleb.”
Ignoring her pleas, Ethan left for the station.
Ethan’s lawyer said, “Sir, Chloe clearly lied. Why do you protect her and let Ms. Alice suffer?”
“I don’t need your advice,” Ethan snapped.
He knew Chloe had lied and deserved punishment, but he couldn’t let Caleb’s career be destroyed.
Alice, as a member of the Welch family, could afford to suffer a bit.
Outside, Caleb dragged Chloe into a car, which terrified her.
Caleb grabbed Chloe’s throat.“You have two choices. I kill you, or you kneel before Alice and beg for forgiveness!”
