Chapter 216
Looking at the handsome face, Alice didn’t believe what Caleb said.
She knew Caleb was hypocritical,
both professionally and personally.
Caleb smiled, whispering, “I heard your team needs sponsorship. I can help you. Cooperate with me.”
Alice was unwilling to cooperate.
But Caleb forcefully put his arm around her, feigning closeness.
Alice noticed the media was present and taking photos, and she realized he’d planned this.
She wouldn’t cooperate with him elsewhere.
But now they were at the club, it would have bad influences on the team if she refused.
After all, Caleb was famous with another name and had never revealed his family.
What was he doing?
Alice felt confused.
Caleb said to the cameras, “You’re curious about the cut on my face? My sister did. We were sparring, and she’s improved a lot. I can’t beat her.”
His public persona was a warm, caring older brother.
Fans all expressed envy.
Alice became grim.
Someone suddenly asked Alice, “Your brother is so kind, helping you gain popularity and sponsorship. Why do you show a long face?”
Alice looked up to see Max and Chloe were in the crowd.
Max was Caleb’s fan?
Chloe added, “Alice, smile. Otherwise, people will think you resent Caleb.”
Alice’s hands clenched.
Caleb leaned in, whispering, “Cooperate. It’s also for your good. Right?”
But Alice never asked for this!
They always made up for her in ways they decided.
“Why should Alice cooperate with a family that mistreats her? She had already cut ties with them. Everyone knows that,”
A girl in a peaked cap spoke up.
Alice’s eyes were wet when she saw the girl. It was Jane.
Chloe was surprised to see Jane here.
Caleb’s expression hardened, but he still smiled.“I only knew that recently. My sister and the family had a huge fight. But she’s always my sister to me.”
Jane pointed at Chloe and said, “What about her? You favored the adopted daughter over Alice.”

Chloe bit her lips when she heard of adoption, because she hated someone mentioned her background.
Chloe’s eyes become wet. “Jane, we were classmates. You’re close to Alice, but you shouldn’t spread rumors. All the brothers treated us fairly.”
“When you were sick, Alice had to get food and run errands. She was a student with top SAT scores but had to give up Harvard University to attend a second–tier school with you. Is that fair? I guess no one wants such fairness.”
Jane clearly knew what had happened in high school.
The crowd gasped.
Even reporters were shocked at the inside story.
Caleb turned cold and whispered to Alice, “Jane is a loyal friend, but she shouldn’t speak in public. Should I teach her a lesson?”
“Don’t hurt her,” Alice said.
She knew Caleb’s means.
Caleb smiled. “You’d better give me a satisfying explanation, or Jane will have trouble.”
Alice gritted her teeth, looking at Jane.
She was grateful for Jane’s support but couldn’t let her get hurt.
Alice smiled and said, “Those things indeed happened, but it’s not Caleb’s fault. He’s been kind to me all the time.”
Caleb’s smile widened and he said with a low voice, “Good girl.”
After interacting with fans for a while, Caleb turned around to leave from the club’s back door.
Caleb left, and the fans followed.
Max left, too. Chloe glared at Alice with envy, and was surprised Caleb had come to support Alice.
Chloe thought she’d provoked their relationship at the party.
Something went wrong. Chloe wanted to have a talk with Caleb.
Alice approached Jane when the crowd left.“Why did you come?”
“I was at the finals. I wanted to see you after you became the captain of Harvard Team. I didn’t expect to see the situation, so I had to speak up.”
“Why didn’t you message me in advance?”
Jane smiled shyly.“I am embarrassed.”
After all, she hadn’t interacted much with Alice in high school, and they became good friends later.
Jane felt guilty about isolating Alice, so she didn’t dare to talk to her.
“Don’t worry. Let me introduce you to the team. You said you also wanted to visit Harvard Team.”
Alice became happier after meeting her classmate.
Jane was worried.“What’s Caleb’s purpose in doing this?”
Jane had seen Caleb’s attitude toward Alice, and he even hit her in the infirmary of the school.
He must not be a good man.
Alice’s smile faded. “He likes to pretend to be a good brother in public. I guess he’s covering up the cut on his face.” “Did you really hit him?”

Alice nodded.“Yes,”
Jane laughed.“Good job!”
Alice introduced Jane to her teammates, including Lana and her senior.
Alice wanted to treat them to dinner because of Jane.
After training, Alice and Jane left. Alice noticed an MPV on the roadside.
Alice pretended not to see it.
But her phone rang, it was from Caleb.
She knew he wouldn’t stop calling if she didn’t answer the call.
She walked aside and answered, “What’s up?”
“Get in. I need to talk.”
I’m going to have dinner. Say it now.”
Caleb said impatiently, “Get in the car, or your friends will have trouble.”
Alice pinched her phone and looked at the MVP.
She asked Jane and her teammates to go to the restaurant. She’d join later.
Alice got into the car.
Caleb and Chloe were inside.
Chloe looked like she’d been crying.
Caleb patted the seat beside him.“Alice, sit down.”
Alice didn’t move.“What do you want to say?“

“I know I was harsh and wronged you at the party. Chloe misled me.”
Alice wondered what he was doing.
Caleb looked at Chloe.“Apologize to Alice.”
Chloe reluctantly stood up.“Caleb, I did that because I was worried about Ethan and Noah’s projects…”
Caleb slapped Chloe hard. Her face immediately swelled.
