Chapter 210
Alice’s gaze at Caleb was contemptuous.
Caleb’s anger flared when he saw Alice’s expression.

He raised his hand and wanted to strike, but Alice stood motionless, her dark eyes fixed on him.
Caleb hesitated, then tried to grab her arm, intending to make her apologize to Max.
Alice saw Caleb’s approaching hand. She swiftly grabbed his arm in a reverse grip and gave it a sharp twist. Instantly, Caleb’s face turned deathly pale. He attempted to resist, but the pain in his arm intensified significantly.
Max exclaimed and tried to stop, “Alice, what are you doing? Let go!”
Chloe cried anxiously, “Alice, let go! Do you want to break Caleb’s arm?”
But a hint of triumph flickered in her eyes. Caleb was a public figure. Being assaulted by Alice would guarantee that he would never forgive Alice.
Noah and Luke sided with Alice. She needed to prevent the others from doing the same.
Alice released Caleb’s arm and said softly, “Mr. Caleb, you made the first move. So this is self–defense.”
Caleb felt humiliated, never expecting that Alice’s skills would have improved dramatically.
He wondered if this was the timid girl he remembered.
Chloe stepped in front of Caleb.“Alice, you’ve gone too far! Caleb was only trying to help.”
“Save it for you. I don’t need it.”
Caleb flew into a rage out of humiliation.“Fine, I’ve really seen what kind of person you are now. I came back this time intending to offer you resources. Since you don’t care about anything from the Welch family, I’ll give all these to Chloe.”
Alice used to fear this.
However, Caleb didn’t see any signs of panic or fear on Alice’s face. Now, it was Caleb’s turn to feel uneasy deep
down.
Did Alice really not care?
Alice’s expression was cold.“Whatever. I’ve never cared about your resources.”
She used to help Caleb with screenplays and offered novel ideas, trying to build a close relationship and contribute. She never expected anything in return.
Caleb remained unconvinced. “We’ll see how long you can keep that up.”
Chloe, however, was delighted, yet she couldn’t show it immediately.“Alice, Caleb is just joking. How can I be qualified to have the resources that are meant for you?”
“Chloe, don’t say that. I’ll keep my word. Since she’s so ungrateful, I won’t be kind anymore.”
Caleb, humiliated, left.
Alice found this amusing. In her past life, Caleb’s resources had all gone to Chloe, too.
Now, he was still using this to threaten her, but she didn’t care.
Chloe succeeded in her scheme, so she was pleased. She believed Caleb would surely not forgive Alice.
Max, feeling sorry for Caleb, glared at Alice.“You’re ungrateful! Caleb was so

feelings!”
Chloe said, “Ms. Garcia, Alice is already famous. I heard her signing bonus was 1.7 million dollars. She doesn’t need Caleb’s help.”
“Funny. Just 1.7 million dollars? My pocket money is far more than it.”
Daniel sneered.“But Alice earned it herself. Ms. Garcia, you got it from your family. That’s different.”
Max glared at Daniel.“You dare insult me? My father will deal with you! How dare you defy me!”
She’d come to settle scores with Alice.
Daniel scoffed, “Ms. Garcia, don’t you know our team is invested by the Wilson family?”
“My sister is about to get engaged to a Wilson. She’ll be the future Mrs. Wilson. By then, you’ll be fired first!”
Max remembered that the Wilson family invested in the Blitzkrieg Team.
So the Garcia family couldn’t do anything to Daniel.
Daniel clicked his tongue.“The rumors about the marriage alliance between the Garcia family and the Wilson family have been going around for so long. But we’ve never seen Mr. Wilson appear in public with your sister, and he’s never acknowledged your sister as his fiancée. The alliance might not even happen. Are you so eager to fawn over them?”
Alice shot Daniel a glance in shock. She never knew the whole story.
She’d heard rumors of Mr. Wilson and Miss Garcia’s engagement in her past life, but it was never proved real.
It seemed always to be
a
rumor.
Max was enraged.“You’re a poor loser! Stop your nonsense! My brother–in–law is busy. And he just returned to the Wilson family recently. Our families will have dinner soon, to discuss the engagement.”
She endured it and apologized to Alice in public just because of her sister’s engagement with Mr. Wilson.

“Max, are you crazy? My brother never agreed to dinner with you!”
Alice looked up. John appeared, wearing sunglasses, looking mysterious.
Was John here to expose Max?

Max said embarrassedly after she saw John, “No. It was arranged.”
“My mother arranged it with your family. It has nothing to do with my brother.”
“Your mother arranged his engagement.”
“Then let my mother marry your sister! She’s the one doing all the negotiating. They’re a better match.”
John’s amazing speech shocked everyone present.
Max burst into tears.“John, don’t go too far! This is a marriage contract arranged by your mother. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing her?”
“I’m her disobedient son. She’s embarrassed by me all the time. She may be used to it.”
His brother brought honor to his mother. So John thought it didn’t matter if he embarrassed his mother.
Max, unable to cope with the attention from the others and win the argument, left angrily.
Chloe, however, remained, looking excitedly at John.
offspring of a super–affluent
She didn’t expect the leader of the Blitzkrieg Team to be Mr. Wilson’s brother, an offspring of a dynasty! Richer than Garrett!
Excited, Chloe decided to pursue John so that she could be the future Mr. Wilson.

She restrained her excitement and made up her mind to win John’s heart.
She approached John, sweetly saying, “Mr. Wilson, Max has a bad temper. She was only talking about sponsorships of Harvard Team.”
“Harvard Team needs sponsors?” John ignored her, approaching Alice.“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Since his sister–in–law needed sponsors; a simple call would’ve solved it.
Alice didn’t even need to seek sponsorship for the party. Any company wouldn’t deserve such an honor.
Alice nodded.“The Garcia family has been our sponsor, but things… happened, and they withdrew.” She didn’t say the details.
John looked at the sponsors.“What are you waiting for? Seize this opportunity or you may lose it forever!” Alice pulled on John.“I’ve already talked to them. Let’s discuss this later.”
“Yes! We want to sponsor Harvard Team!”
“That’s right. It’s our pleasure. Ms. Welch is so awesome. Next year, the Harvard Team will be a dark horse.” John nodded with satisfaction.“That’s right. Alice is my friend. Your help will be highly appreciated.”
It was his brother’s orders anyway.
Alice noticed everyone’s attitude had changed. They became much kinder.
Chloe was furious when she saw John speak for Alice. Alice’s luck infuriated her.
Chloe couldn’t stand it. She approached, sweetly asking, “Alice, how did you become so close to Mr. John?”
