Chapter 219
Alice was furious
Her voice was cold.“Are you sure you want me to act? Aren’t you worried I’ll ruin your drama?”
“It’s fine. You’re my sister. I can tolerate bad acting. But I can’t tolerate disobedience,” Caleb said, placing the script in
front of her.
“Read carefully. Chloe is the lead. You’re the supporting character, a pretentious coquette.”
She should play the supporting character. She’s a professional actress,” Alice retorted.
“Jealous? Be nice to me, and I’ll make you the lead. Chloe can be the supporting character. Then you can’t I’m
biased
Alice saw his devious smile. “If Ethan finds out, he’ll say you’re ungrateful. Chloe helped the family.”
“Ethan cares about his fame. A driver’s daughter is nothing compared to you.”
“Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”
Alice remembered Caleb’s kindness towards Chloe.
“Alice, you think I favored Chloe, right? She saved my life.”
Chloe had saved Caleb?
Alice knew about this. In school, Caleb fought a lot, often surrounded by thugs.
Once, he’d been severely injured, hiding in an alley. Blood covered his body.
Alice had gone for help, encountering Chloe, who was leaving school.
After Alice spoke to Chloe, the thugs arrived and recognized her.
Chloe told them where Caleb was at once.
To protect Caleb, Alice ran in the opposite direction, drawing them away.
She’d been caught and almost killed, saved only by patrolling police.
But after Caleb woke up, he became colder towards Alice and kinder to Chloe.
Was this the reason?
Caleb gritted his teeth.“Alice, you don’t remember. I do.”
He almost died, and Alice had abandoned him.
His only sister left him in the lurch, but Chloe saved him.
Chloe said Alice had run away in fear.
From then on, Caleb resented Alice, showering Chloe with affection and ignoring Alice. He enjoyed seeing her
ostracized.
It made him feel better.
Alice’s gaze was steady.“When did Chloe save you?”
“That time…”
Caleb’s words were cut short by a knock. His agent was at the door.“Caleb, do you have a minute?”
Caleb adjusted his emotions.

‘I don’t believe you’ve forgotten. You’re pretending to have forgotten it again.”
I really don’t remember.”

“Stop it. You went out to buy cake, causing the accident that killed Mom and Dad. You lived, but forgot everything, preventing us from finding the real culprit.”
“What do you mean?” Alice’s face changed.
“That driver was just a scapegoat. There was someone else who might be the driver in the car. But you ‘forgot‘ everything, playing the victim.”
Alice stood up abruptly.“I didn’t lie! I genuinely don’t remember.”
You say
we’re biased. You killed Mom and Dad, making our lives miserable. We didn’t kick you out! What right do you have to accuse us?”
Caleb left angrily. He didn’t want to talk too much about it.
He didn’t believe Alice had forgotten. She just didn’t want to admit her fault.
It went the same for the car accident.
Alice recalled Caleb’s words in chair.
Nobody had ever told her this.
Was there someone else in the car?
Alice touched her head. She couldn’t remember the accident.
She called Noah after pondering.
*Alice, you called! What’s up?”
Noah sounded surprised.
Alice hesitated. “Was the real culprit in the accident never found?”
“Why ask? Did you remember something?”
“No. But Caleb said there’s more to the story. Right?”
Silence fell on the other end after she asked.
After a long while, Noah said, “This is too complex for a phone call. Come to the hospital.”
“Can’t you tell me now?”
Alice didn’t want to go there.
Noah pleaded, “It’s important. Come. Don’t you want to see me? Kaff…”
She heard him coughing violently, nurses and doctors talking.
“Mr. Welch, you must take treatment. And eat properly. If this continues, you’ll need your stomach removed.”
Alice wasn’t sure how to feel.
He seemed to be much sicker than in her past life.
Mike took the phone.“Ms. Alice, Mr. Welch needs treatment. Can you come?”
Alice hesitated after a while of silence.“I’ll see.”
She hung up, seeing the news about the slap–it was clarified as a rehearsal.
Feeling bad, she left the base through a side door, going to the gym.

She saw a familiar figure when she got changed and went to the boxing ring.
“Why are you here?” She was surprised.
Jack, in gray sportswear, smiled. He looked energetic.
“Checking if you’ve been slacking.”

He held out his hand with mild eyes.“Come up.”
Alice looked up at him, calmer now.
She stretched out and got onto the boxing ring.
She fought hard, but Jack dodged every attack.
She collapsed, exhausted.“You’re a liar. You’re not an amateur.”
She improved a lot, but she still couldn’t beat him.
Jack handed her a towel and water.“Don’t believe everything men say.”
“You’re different.”
Jack looked at her.“I’m still a man.”
Alice checked the time and closed her eyes to have a rest.
Jack asked, “Where are you going? You’ve checked the time several times.”
“I have a someone to meet.”
Jack’s hand paused.“Male or female?” He tried to be calm.
“Male.”
Alice got up and went to change.
Jack frowned subconsciously at her back.
A male?
Alice came out after getting changed. Jack was waiting outside.“Men are truly different.”
“I’ll drive you. Where are you going?”
Jack sounded cool as if he was on the same way.
Alice didn’t explain.“Okay.”
Jack couldn’t help asking in the car, “Dating someone?”
Alice laughed.“No. I’m going to the hospital.”
Jack narrowed his eyes. “To see Noah?”
“I need to ask him something. Caleb said there’s more to the accident. There was someone else in the car. I want to know whom was.”
Jack slammed on the brakes!
