Chapter 217
Alice was shocked when Caleb slapped Chloe.
Caleb should hit Chloe.
Caleb had always been kind to Chloe, even letting her bully Alice.
He’d favored Chloe without any investigation when Alice restarted her life and was drowned, and then they clashed in the infirmary.
Caleb had even slapped Alice.
Why did he make the sudden change? Alice didn’t feel happy, and just thought he was even crazier,
Chloe, eyes brimming with tears, hadn’t expected to be slapped.
Caleb said coldly, “Apologize to Alice. Don’t waste my time.”
Chloe, sobbing, said, “Alice, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t copy your ideas or deceive Luke and Ethan to slander you.” Hearing the apology, Alice had no emotion.
Caleb looked at Alice, and said in a gentle tone.“I saw the video. It was Chloe’s fault. It has nothing to do with you.” Alice found it ridiculous, thinking, “They thought a simple apology would erase everything?”
Her voice was cold.“I knew that. Have you finished?”
“Alice, I’ve explained everything to you, and Chloe apologized. Don’t stay angry. It’ll cause family problems.”
What Caleb said was more like a threat than a plea.
Alice raised her eyebrow.“I’m not angry. The family mistreated me. Why should I go back?”
“You’re right. I’ll talk to Ethan. Don’t worry.”
Saying that, Caleb waved dismissively.“You’re having dinner with your classmates, right? You can go.”
Alice left without looking back.
Caleb’s smile vanished. He looked at Chloe.“Was I unkind to you? I hate being lied to. Remember?”
“I knew, and won’t do it again.”
Chloe, tears in her eyes, finally realized Caleb’s true nature. He’d been kind to her these years, which made her forget his bad temper.
She misled Caleb on purpose at the party and thought her tricks worked well.
Unexpectedly, it was revealed.
Caleb’s tone softened.“Ice your face. I’ll give you a role in my new movie. Here’s the script. Read carefully.”
“Thank you, Caleb.”
Chloe was delighted when she saw the script.
“It’s nothing. You helped me when I was attacked by my enemies. I will not forget that.”
Chloe lowered her eyes, hiding her guilt.
Alice was the one who summoned help.
But Chloe couldn’t tell the truth.
Caleb disliked the adopted sister at the beginning, but he changed after that incident.

She wouldn’t reveal the truth forever.
Everything she had was deserved.

Alice stepped out of the MPV, breathing in the fresh air, and felt relieved.
She looked back at the car, her eyes got cold.
She wouldn’t let this continue. She cooperated with Caleb’s interview because she feared he’d target Jane.
After dinner, Alice returned to the dorm.
Lana told her, “Caleb posted the interview video on Facebook.”
Alice opened and watched it.
The title:“Introducing my sister who ‘assaulted‘ me“.
Thanks to the video, Caleb was considered a good brother.
Lana said hesitantly, “Caleb’s rival for the Best Actor award was recently accused of domestic violence by his ex–girlfriend. Caleb’s video is perfectly timed and cleverly worded.”
Alice sneered. “Yes. Caleb never does anything without profit.”
In this way, he explained his injury, tarnished his rival, and gained public sympathy.
And even forced her to cooperate.
Kill two birds with one stone.
But Caleb claimed he’d come to reconcile. She’d never realized his true nature in her past life.
Alice thought they were close, but he abandoned her when she tried to reveal the truth that the script was not created by Chloe and threatened his interests.
Caleb was good at buying someone through it.
Alice opened WhatsApp, seeing John’s message yesterday.
He said he had something important to say.
She was too busy to remember it.
But Alice wondered what John intended to say.
She saw a missed call from John, and she guessed Jack had answered due to the time shown.
She texted Jack.“Does John have a girlfriend?”
Seeing the message, Jack felt a sense of unease.
Jack frowned and answered, “I guess not. Why do you ask?”
“Does he fall in love with someone?”
Seeing this, Jack suddenly sat up.
He called Alice, and she answered immediately.“Hello.”
Alice was surprised by the call, and she worried about some news about John.
Jack hesitated and said, “Why are you asking so much about John’s romantic relationship?”
He felt uneasy and his jaw tightened.

Alice hesitated.“Nothing. Just curious.”
Maybe she was overthinking.
The important thing might be something else.
Jack narrowed his eyes.“There must be a reason. You wouldn’t ask out of the blue.”
Alice thought and said, “You answered John’s call last night, right?”
“Yes.”
“What did he say?”
Jack pursed his lips. “Nothing.”
“Really?”
“What do you think he’d say?”
Alice replied, “If I knew, I wouldn’t ask you.”
Jack thought maybe John didn’t tell her. It was great.
Then they both fell silent.
Jack said, “Get some rest.”
“Okay. Bye.”
Alice hung up, deciding to go boxing in the gym as soon as possible.
If she was stronger, she could have resisted yesterday.
At least she wouldn’t be passive.
Several sponsors called, wanting to sponsor Alice’s team.
It was because of Caleb’s video. Now everyone here knew she was the famous actor’s sister.
She felt disgusted.
Caleb had done this on purpose.
Alice checked the team’s expenses, and found money almost ran out, so they needed sponsorship.
Jack called with a low voice.“You need money?”
“No. The team needs money. I had a conflict with Max, so the Garcia family withdrew their sponsorship and pressured other companies to end the partnership.”
“The Maple Company could sponsor you. Why don’t you ask me?”
Alice hesitated. “I wanted to see if I could get sponsorship without connections.”
“Using connections is also a skill. Don’t be so naive.”
Alice smiled.“Thanks for the sponsorship.”

She hung up, but someone sprayed white confetti on her when she arrived at the dorm’s door.“Alice, drop the lawsuit and let Luke be released!”
Alice stretched her hands to prevent it and found they held Luke’s banner. They were Luke’s fans.
She grabbed the confetti from their hands.
Caleb rushed out suddenly, shielding her.

Everyone listen! Luke’s case is still under investigation. It has nothing to do with my sister,”
We heard Alice filed a lawsuit! What a vicious sister! She should put his brother in jail”
You misunderstood. She wouldn’t do that.”
Caleb looked at Alice with a smile. “Right? Explain it to them.”
