Chapter 187
As Ethan remained silent on the other end of the phone, Alice let out a mocking laugh.

“I was thinking if you took responsibility for everything, I’d have to apologize to you, but you don’t give me the chance. Tsk, tsk.”
She was being sarcastic.
Ethan was furious and embarrassed.“Alice, you deliberately did this to drive a wedge between us siblings. How might this benefit you?”
“I’m doing this for your own good. If not, you three loving siblings will wind up behind bars together.”
“You wish!”
Alice continued to act up. “That’s why I gave you three the option to choose one of you to assume full responsibility, Mr. Welch. How is it not for your own good?”
“It will ruin Luke’s career if he is imprisoned. Could you bear that?”
“You’re so selfish. You talk about family bonds, but you let your younger brother take responsibility when you’re in trouble. How selfish you are!” Alice covered her mouth and laughed.
Jack found her cute like a cunning fox when he saw her laughing.
Ethan became enraged. “Alice, don’t gloat. Even if Luke takes the blame, you won’t be able to hire a lawyer, and you’ll lose the lawsuit. Just wait and see!”
“Is this why you called me?”
“Yes, I’m trying to make you face reality and drop the lawsuit before it’s too late. Or you’ll end up embarrassing yourselves.”
“Then see you in court.” Alice hung up the phone.“Well, I was right. He’s not going to take responsibility.”
Jack spoke up, “Is Luke going to take the blame? The mastermind wasn’t him. The photos weren’t taken by him.”
“Alice, isn’t this too easy on them, especially that hypocrite?”
Alice smiled, “I want to slowly expose their hypocritical nature and let Chloe lose everything and the loving Welch family go bankrupt because of her.”
Alice really wanted to see if the so–called loving family would still hold together by then.
This was something they had to pay for the suffering she had been through in her previous life.
Andrew clapped his hands.“Well done. When your ungrateful brothers finally learn about Chloe’s true nature, I’m interested to see how they react.”
Alice looked up.“But we still have the lawsuit to deal with for the time being.”
“Alice, I know the lawyer personally. Nothing will go wrong. Don’t worry about that.”
Alice finally felt relieved.
She stood up and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to school now.”
As she passed by Jack, she instinctively glanced at the phone on his desk.
The next second, his slender hand covered the phone as he looked up at her.
Alice coughed and turned to leave.
He was quite vigilant.

Jack raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking if she trying to sneak a peek.
After Alice left, Jack’s expression turned much colder. He said, “Was your cousin the one who warned the legal community?”
“I’ll check it right away. If it was him, I’d break his leg.”
Andrew also thought that it might have something to do with Garrett.
Jack’s phone buzzed. After glancing at it, he stood up.“Check it out and fix it.”
“Where are you going?” Andrew asked.
‘To the gym,” Jack replied without looking back.
Andrew sighed, shaking his head and thinking, “I’m such a lackey.”

When Alice got back to school, she went straight to the gym.
After changing her clothes, she first went to the equipment area, intending to improve her muscle strength. Her trainer always said that she wasn’t very physically fit and she needed more exercise.
As Alice was fiddling with the equipment, a young man approached her and said, “Hey, beauty, is this your first time here? Let me show you how to use it.”
After she watched him demonstrate it, Alice said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. You look pretty young. Are you a student at Harvard University?”
Alice gave a response. The man’s eyes lit up instantly as he said, “A top student, huh? I’ve always admired people like
you.
Alice didn’t respond.
The man continued, “I come from a poor family. I couldn’t afford school fees back then. Later, I did business, and my company went public. I became financially independent. But I still regret not getting more education. I like cultured girls.
Alice felt annoyed. She went for the other equipment nearby.
The man followed her and continued, “You really catch my eye. How about we exchange contact info? I’m single and
wife.” not short on money. I’m looking for an educated girl to be
my
Alice said impatiently, “No, please stop bothering me.”
“How is this bothering you? Look at you. You can’t even afford a personal trainer. I suppose your family isn’t wealthy.
If you and I were together, I could leave our future son millions of dollars.”
The man stood up and walked behind Alice.“Let me show you how to use it.”
Alice grabbed the man’s hand and twisted it forcefully.
The man screamed in pain, “Let go of me!”
Alice stared coldly at him.“Did you even look in the mirror this morning? You think highly of yourself!”
After she scolded him, she released her grip.
Alice wiped her hand on her pants, feeling disgusted.
The man cursed, “Don’t pretend to be innocent. I know you college girls well. You all look naive on the surface, but you’re all money–hungry. I’ve been with several college girls like you lately. They’ll gladly strip naked if men give them a small amount of money.”

Alice opened a bottle of mineral water and splashed it on him.
“Wash your mouth. It stinks.”
I like your personality, beauty. Just name your price. How about 8,500 dollars a month?”
Alice was on the verge of losing it. She looked up at the security cameras in the gym.
She needed to find a security camera blind spot.
The trainer had told her not to get into fights too easily and to avoid getting caught if she did.
Alice walked forward, and the man followed her and said, “If you’re a virgin, I can give you 17,000 dollars.”
Alice reached the safety passage, a camera blind spot.
Alice hooked her finger at him.
The man noticed that we were out of sight and became a bit excited. “You like this kind of play, huh? You should have told me earlier.”
Instantly, Alice punched him in the face.
Alice had never met such a repulsive man before.
Coincidentally, a bucket of water for floor mopping was close by. She snatched up the bucket and doused his head with water.
Alice looked down at him condescendingly.“Your mouth is so stinky. It needs a thorough cleaning.”
“I–I’m going to call the police. I’ll sue you! You knocked out my tooth!”
The man covered his mouth and realized his tooth was loose. He touched it, causing it to fall out.
Alice clapped her hands.“Go ahead. I’ll just tell the police that you were harassing me and I was defending myself. The cameras over there have a record of what you did. Who do you think the police will believe?”
Furthermore, based on his performance, it was likely not his first time harassing a woman.
The man lay on the ground wailing, “I won’t let you off. My lawyer team will send you to jail! I’ll show you how powerful money can be.”
This statement made Alice laugh.
She had never seen such a poser! She thought, “Does he think he’s in a TV drama or something?”
Soon, a male trainer rushed over anxiously.“Sir, what happened?”
“This bitch hit me. Is this how your gym treats wealthy customers like me?”
The male trainer looked at Alice.“What’s wrong with you? Why did you hit him?”
“He harassed me.”
“Hah, I’ve seen plenty of girls like you. You’re from the nearby university, right? You’re students of prestigious schools but all gold diggers. You guys never miss a chance to approach wealthy men.”
“Exactly, she agreed to be kept by me, but she asked for 17,000 dollars a month.”
The surrounding customers also looked over, whispering to each other.
After all, in today’s society, girls were typically at a disadvantage compared to men when it came to sexual rumors.
A cold and stern voice came through, “What do you think you are to think that you can keep her?”
Jack walked over with a stern expression, standing beside Alice. His tone softened considerably when he asked her, “Are you hurt?”

Alice shook her head.
The young man shouted loudly, “She willingly agreed to be kept by me. But she’s not even a virgin. Why should she
demand 17.000 dollars?”
Jack’s face darkened abruptly.
He turned around and delivered a forceful blow,
