Chapter 228
Jack stood in the doorway like a grim reaper. Those from the TG Company were stunned. The Yates family heir was here?
The lead woman stammered, “Mr. Wilson…*
Jack’s voice was cold as ice.“Get out!”
The woman tried to explain, “We’re here on business, to resolve…*
Jack threw a glass on the table across the room.’Get out! Don’t make me say it again!”
The woman, about to protest, was pulled away by her colleagues. Let’s leave now.”
Couldn’t she see how furious he was?
Alice, noticing Jack’s anger, said to the woman, “You’re the manager, right? I don’t care who backs TG Company, but I won’t cooperate with any statements.*
The woman stared at Alice, surprised.“You don’t know he…”
Jack glared at the woman, silencing her with a warning look.
The woman was practically dragged out. If they stayed any longer, they’d all be out of a job.
Alice watched them leave.“They’re probably Caleb’s PR team. Apparently, they’re quite powerful, with the Wilson family backing them.”
“Don’t worry about them; TG won’t take the job,” Jack said confidently, setting down the food.
“You gotta have a meal.”
Alice looked at him cautiously.“You mean you’ll go to John?”
She knew John, Jack, and Andrew were close; maybe they could pull some strings.
“I have an idea,” she said as she looked at him.
Jack pushed the fork towards Alice.“Go on.”
“I’ll hire TG as my think?”
PR team. I’ll pay them, and John won’t be in a difficult position. What do you
Jack looked at her deeply.“Eat first.”
“Do you think it won’t work?”
“I’ll contact John. Eat.”
Alice started eating, using her left hand due to her injured right arm.
She struggled to pick up the food with her left hand. But it dropped a lot.
“Clumsy. Now you know it’s inconvenient,” Jack said, taking the food container and feeding her.
Alice paused.“Can you get a little lower? You look like you’re feeding a pet.”

“Demanding,” Jack said, but squatted before her.
Alice ate a few bites and shook her head.
“I’m full.”
“Rest.”
“But I see the TG people are still outside,” Alice said, noticing they were still lingering.
They might not leave easily.
Jack calmly handed her a napkin.“I’ll handle it. Rest.”
“But…”
“Alice, try relying on me for once.”
His gaze was intense, making Alice slightly shy.
She coughed, averting her eyes.” But I can’t rely on you forever.”
“Why not?”
His tone made her heart race. She looked at him suspiciously.“But you said…”
He’d told her to make new friends at college and start a new life.
Jack looked at her, who was injured and vulnerable.“But I regretted it.”
He didn’t want to see her crying in a shabby building and pleading alone.
Alice’s cheek felt hot.“Are you telling me you like me?”
She was not slow. She could feel the change in his attitude.
Jack flicked her forehead.“I thought you couldn’t understand.”
He stood up.“I felt you were too young. But now, I can wait.”
He didn’t want it to happen again.
Alice blurted out,“You don’t need to.”
Her face reddened.
Jack smiled, “At least, I need to deal with them first.”
Alice watched her leaving, stretching out to touch her face. It happened all of a sudden!
Was it a dream?
Outside the ward, Jack walked out with a poke face and looked at the 3 people.“From the TG Company?”
The woman in lead nodded respectfully.“Mr. Wilson, I’m the manager. Just now…‘
“Now you have 2 choices.”
Jack was cold and aloof.

He said, “First, quit and leave this city.”
The 2 people said at the same time, “I’ll take the second one.”

Jack looked back at the girl in the ward. She was looking at her phone in bed with her head down.
He continued, “From now on, you work for her and look after her as her assistants.”
The woman in lead was shocked, wondering if it was a promotion.
They had long heard that Jack had a girl in mind. That girl was in a car accident with him, but her information was hidden.
She wondered if Alice was that girl.
She realized Alice might be Mrs. Wilson.
They might have got a great chance.
Jack set things down and directly called Andrew.“I remember your aunt married a big shot in the media industry. I want her to help.”
“I know. I just told her to ruin Caleb’s fame totally! But why bother? Isn’t it easy to do it on our own?”
“That’s not what Alice wants.”
Jack had many ways to teach Caleb a lesson, but it was not Alice’s idea.
The Welch family had always forced things she didn’t want on Alice since her childhood.
He didn’t want to do that; he wanted her to live life on her terms, without interference.
Andrew sighed.“Stop the PDA. Caleb was just whisked away by his manager in a helicopter. But after all that waiting, he’s had his lesson.”
Andrew looked at the night sky; he had a lot of work to do.
Caleb was rushed to the hospital. The media swarmed the building, desperate for information.
Noah, sick though, arrived just as Caleb was wheeled out. Caleb’s facial injuries were clearly
visible.
Noah was worried.“How did he get hurt so badly?”
Chloe sobbed.“I don’t know. When I got there, he was already like this.”
She was genuinely crying; Caleb’s disfigurement would ruin his career.
A pretty face mattered to actors.
How could he act if he was disfigured?
If Caleb’s career was ruined, who would help Chloe with her career?
Noah was impatient. “Stop crying. Explain the live stream. I don’t believe
He didn’t trust Chloe; she lied whenever Alice was involved.
you didn’t know.”

Chloe stammered, “I really didn’t know. Caleb and Alice have always had conflicts. He wanted Alice to drop the charges and make the family happy. Alice refused, leading to the fight.”
Noah pressed further.“You’re still lying. Caleb wouldn’t attack her without reason.”
Chloe saw Ethan arrive and dramatically collapsed.“Noah, I really don’t know!”
Ethan rushed to help Chloe.“Noah, why are you questioning her? She didn’t hit him! It was Alice!”
“Ethan, you’re biased.”
“I’m stating facts! Alice live–streamed the whole thing to ruin her brother! Get her here!”
Ethan believed Alice was at the root of everything.“Luke was ruined. I won’t let Caleb be destroyed by Alice!”
