Alice glared at Caleb. “Fuck off!”
Caleb remained unmoved. “I wondered why you changed. It turns out you have a man backing you now. Alice, do you have any shame?”
Alice said coldly, “What shame? Mr. Wilson and I are friends.”
“Alice, John was clearly protective of you. We can see that he likes you. But if Mr. Yates finds out about you and John, will he be angry?”
She waited for Alice’s panicked reaction, but Alice remained impassive.
Caleb was shocked.“Chloe, what do you mean? What’s her relationship with Mr. Yates?
Caleb had just returned, not knowing so many things had happened.
“Caleb, Ethan told me Alice has been close to Mr. Yates. He even gave her his shares in a tech company.”
Caleb understood, thinking Alice was being someone’s mistress.
He stared at Alice, enraged. “I underestimated you. No wonder you’re so confident. You’ve hooked up with Mr. Yates, haven’t you?”
Caleb was enraged. He couldn’t believe that his sister would be a mistress.
Alice’s eyes turned icy.“I’ll say this one last time. Andrew is my friend.”
She didn’t want to waste her time with them and wanted to leave.
“Alice, I’m not finished. If Mom and Dad knew about this, they’d be furious and upset!”
Alice’s
hardened. She grabbed Caleb’s collar. “You don’t deserve to mention them.”
“I don’t? Do you?”
She punched Caleb, who fell to the ground, astonished.
If he’d thought his earlier experience was an accident, this proved Alice’s skills were superior.
Alice became so unfamiliar to Caleb. He had complicated feelings.
Alice looked at Chloe, who recoiled. “What… what are you going to do?”
Alice grabbed Chloe’s neck, tightening her grip.
She whispered, “You think Luke took the fall, and you’re safe?”
“Let me go! I didn’t force Luke to do anything.”
Chloe said in her heart,“Luke had done it willingly.”
Seeing Chloe struggling, Alice said, her voice low, “Your good times are over. I’ll make you lose everything bit by bit, until you’re caught in a living hell, desperate for either life or death but unable to achieve either.”
Like she had been in the psych ward in her past life.
I believe you! Let me go!”
Chloe was terrified, wondering how Alice could become so strong.
Chloe didn’t want to die.
Alice released her. Chloe gasped for air, like a fish out of water.

Caleb got up.“Alice, you dared to attack Chloe! Her father saved your life!”
“That’s why I spared her life.”
Caleb tried to stop her but found he had no ability to do so.
He watched Alice leave, feeling uneasy about the fact that Alice had become another person.
She was so powerful and tough that he preferred the old, clingy Alice.

Alice returned to her friends and acted as if nothing happened.
The party ended.
Alice found Lana.“How’d the autograph collection go?”
“Great! I said I was from the Harvard Team. Many of my schoolmates were fans. They happily agreed to take pictures and autograph.”
“It’s late. Let’s go.”
When they left, Alice said goodbye to John and Daniel.
John said, “I’m leaving with you. This party was boring.”
Alice noticed John’s sunglasses.“It seems you’re always wearing sunglasses. Is this some kind of special look?” “Well, I’m acting cool!”
John awkwardly adjusted his sunglasses, striking a pose.“Cool, right?”
“Cool!” Lana agreed.
They left.
Alice and Lana took a taxi.
John watched their taxi leave, waving.
Daniel approached, his gaze complex.“You like her, huh?”
John had been protective of Alice all night.
Anyone could see that Alice seemed to be special to John.
“What nonsense are you talking about? She’s my sister–in–law!”
“Your sister–in–law? I wasn’t wrong in New York. It really was your brother!”
Daniel thought he’d been mistaken.
John was gossipy.“What was my brother doing in New York?”
“I don’t know. I just saw him with Alice. I wasn’t sure if it was him back then.”
Now Daniel was certain it was Jack.
Daniel asked doubtfully, “Is his engagement with Ms. Garcia real? I’ve heard it for a long time.”
Rumors lasted so long; there must be something to it.
“No. My mom arranged it without his consent. My brother never confirmed it. She thinks time will change his mind. Impossible.”
John knew his brother. Once Jack made a decision, nobody could change it.

Daniel took off John’s sunglasses.“Who hit you?”
John snatched back his sunglasses.“Jack, of course!”
Jack used “testing his skills” as an excuse to beat him up!
John slapped his forehead as he thought of something.“I almost forgot something important!”
Driven by a desire for revenge against Jack for the beating he had endured, he needed to tell Alice about Jack’s real identity.
But Alice had gone, so he could only text her: “I have something important to tell you. Text me when you get home.” John made up his mind that he must tell her today.
Alice saw the message in the taxi, confused.
Lana said hesitantly, “Alice, I think Mr. Wilson likes you.”
“You think so too?”
“It’s obvious. He was by your side all night, protecting you and defending you. Nobody dared to offend you.”
Alice was helpless. Because she didn’t like John.
She wasn’t sure if John was the one in her past life, but she had no feelings for him now.
Was this the so–called illusion?
The taxi dropped Lana off and then headed to Alice’s apartment.
A black luxury car pulled up as soon as Alice got out of the taxi.
Caleb got out.“Alice, you live here. Andrew bought this for you, right?”
Alice’s face changed.“Why did you follow me?”
She didn’t want the Welch family to know her address.
“Alice, I know you left home in a fit of pique and need money, and you want to prove your capabilities. But you must stop it. You can’t be kept by a man! You must come home with me today.”
Alice retorted, “Try it.”
Caleb waved his hand, and a van drove up from behind. A group of black–clad bodyguards got out and immediately surrounded Alice.
“Alice, listen to me, don’t go astray.”
