Chapter 122
Noah said in a pleading tone, Speak up. I’ll stand up for yo*
He would do anything as long as Alice could calm down.
Mens
Chloe quickly knelt and pleaded, “Alice, don’t blame Davis. It wasn’t his intention. I really don’t have the right to use my birthday as the password because I was adopted.”
Davis hurriedly uttered, “Ms. Black, don’t plead for me. I did all of this. It has nothing to do with you.”
Chloe knelt in front of Alice, looking aggrieved and wronged.
Noah saw the slap marks on Chloe’s face and felt a bit soft–hearted.
He said grimly, “Chloe, that’s not what I meant. Our parents left this villa to us, and Alice’s birthday has been used as the password for it. No one has the right to change it”
Chloe forced a smile. “I know as an adopted child, I don’t have the right to do that. Davis has misused his rights. I promise it won’t happen again.”
Davis also knelt. “Mr. Noah, I know I made a mistake. I won’t act on my own again. But Ms. Black didn’t do anything wrong.”
Noah softened a little when he saw Chloe and Davis kneeling on the ground.
He looked at Alice and said, “Alice, can you forgive them now that they’re apologizing to you on their knees?”
Alice’s eyes were full of mockery. Just as she thought, nothing had changed.
Chloe was forcing Alice to forgive her with some tears and apologizing on her knees.
Jack spoke coldly, “Can apologizing on their knees make up for what Alice has been through before?”
“No, but we’re family…”
Noah wanted to continue, but Jack slammed the escalator and drove off.
Watching the car driving off, Noah smiled bitterly and thought, “Why can’t Alice comprehend my predicament?
“It’s tough to treat you two the same.
“We’re family. Can’t we give each other a chance?”
After Alice left, a flash of coldness crossed Chloe’s eyes.
Chloe turned her head and said pitifully, “Noah, Davis has been taking care of our family for years. He’s so old. Don’t drive him away.”
Noah rubbed his temple. “But he can no longer serve as the butler. He can stay as a servant. I’ve decided to grow my business in Washington. Davis will stay here to take care of you while you repeat the grade.”
Noah believed his family had been taking good care of Chloe. She was the one to blame if she couldn’t make good use of this change.
Chloe gritted her teeth.“Thanks, Noah!”
As long as Davis could stay, that was enough.
Chloe didn’t want to repeat the grade here. She would study in Washington.
She thought, “Don’t think of leaving me behind!”
With resentment in her eyes, Chloe gazed at the vehicle that was driving Alice away. She exclaimed inwardly, “I’m going to trample Alice down under my foot one day!”

Inside the cat, Alice hummed joyfully. “My hand went numby from hiring that hypocrite. It was enjoyable to see how embarrassed she was.”
Since Chloe was ses good at acting. Alice thought she should join the entertainment industry.
Perhaps Chloe would prosper in that field.
Alice’s joyful expression made Jack realize his concerns about her were unnecessary. Alice had become much stronger
now.
He spoke plainly, “When do you plan to leave?”
“After I finish the follow–up tomorrow, I can buy a plane ticket to Washington
Alice cast him a glance. Once she left, she wouldn’t be able to see Jack often because he worked at the school as a physician.
Jack nodded. “Alright, let’s get together for dinner tomorrow night.”
Alice’s expression told him that she was upset, but he couldn’t be soft–hearted.
It was time to let go.
The next day, Alice went next door and saw a big table full of dishes.
Andrew waited aside.“Alice, let’s have dinner together before you leave.”
“Thanks.”
After sitting down, Alice said to Andrew, “I hope everything goes well with the investment promotion conference
tomorrow.”
I hope so too.”
Alice looked at Jack subconsciously.“Are you going with us tomorrow?*
After all, it was the company’s new project.
Jack pursed his lips. “You guys will go without me. Andrew is the boss of the company.”
Alice was somewhat disappointed to learn that he would not be going.
Even though she had expected it, she didn’t want to leave him when the time came.
After dinner, Andrew went to the balcony to make a phone call.
Under Alice’s gaze, Jack spoke calmly, “Live your life and do things you enjoy.”
“I know.”
Alice looked a bit upset.
Jack avoided her gaze.“After school starts, focus on your studies, and don’t rush into a relationship.”
Alice smiled, “I can date as I please.”
Instinctively, he held her glass.“Alice, you can hardly drink. Avoid drinking alcohol in the future.”
“Can you
take care of me for a lifetime?”
Alice quietly looked at Jack with calm eyes.
Alice thought Jack was very nice to her and treated her differently than other people.
Previously, she had thought that he liked her too, which was why he was so kind to her.

But it turned out she was just overthinking
Jack felt a lump in his threat. After a while, he replied, Tre workable”
Alice felt her heart skip a beat. She thought, What does he mean
Jack continued, “Since you’ve cut ties with your brothers, you can take me as your family from now on.”
“I don’t need one more brother.
Alice stood up. “I’ve finished eating. I’ll return to my room to pack.”
She left, feeling slightly dejected.
Jack looked at Alice’s back, his gaze somewhat complicated.
Andrew came in. “How is it going? Have you decided to let go?”
Jack said nothing. He tilted his head and drank the red wine from his glass in one go, his eyes grim.
He could easily tell that Alice was into him.
But he was taken. And he didn’t think he deserved her.
The following day, Alice and Andrew left together for Washington.
After getting out of the car, Alice looked around with worries.“I wonder if our work can stand out.”
Andrew said, “You need to have faith in yourself.”
He didn’t expect that Alice really had talent.
He had thought Jack was paving the way for Alice, but she turned out to be so capable.
Andrew and Alice went straight to the investment promotion conference venue.
Alice went to the display area with some materials and her work.
Andrew wore a baseball cap, covering half of his face, and followed Alice in.
When he looked around and saw an acquaintance, he said, “I’ll go to the bathroom. Alice, you go ahead.” Alice nodded. As soon as she finished sorting out the materials and sat down, she looked up and saw Noah. She immediately lowered her head, thinking, “What is he doing here?
“What a small world!”
Noah also saw her and walked over with a surprised and delighted look. “Alice, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Luke frowned and checked Alice out.“Alice, why are you wearing clothes from the Maple Company? Don’t you know they stand in rivalry with Noah’s company?”
He thought, “How could Alice help an outsider?”
