Chapter 96
Alice smirked. “I’m no longer part of the Welch family. I don’t need to do anything”
Alice had devoted herself to her family in her previous life, but to what end? She will suffered a to
Seeing Luke’s injury, Chloe fussed over him.“Luke, why are you bleeding? What happened?

“Alice hit me.”
“Why did she do that? That’s terrible.”
Luke said coldly, “I asked her to apologize to the investors, and she not only offended them but also hit me. I underestimated youu, Alice?
The angry investors had left and the cooperation was ruined, so Luke focused his rage on Alice.
Chloe was secretly delighted. She regretted missing such a dramatic scene.
Chloe said pointedly, “Alice, this is your fault. As a member of the Welch family, how can you

Luke said, “She’s not as obedient as you.”
Alice laughed, “Chloe brought your team down and led to such a disgraceful defeat. Is this the obedient‘ you’re referring t
Luke’s and Chloe’s faces darkened.
Luke stepped forward.“Alice, you have to go with me and explain.”
“What are you doing? Let her go.” Jack and Andrew came in time to stop Luke.
Hearing Jack’s voice, Chloe was surprised.“Alice, you’re with that doctor?”
She was pleased. Her boyfriend was from a prominent family in Washington, while Alice’s boyfriend was just a school doctor, who would never be as noble as Garrett.
“Chloe, stop lying. We’re just friends.”
“Stop your lies. There were rumors about you at school. And you ran away from home and lived with him. Who would believe you?
Garrett raised his voice.“Does Alice live with a man?”
Chloe smiled, “Yes, I told you before, but you didn’t believe me.”
Alice narrowed her eyes.“Do you know why Adam’s grandfather lived so long?”
Garrett said, “Why? What does that have to do with us?”
“Because he minded his own business and wasn’t a gossipy busybody.”
After saying that, Alice turned to Jack.“Let’s go.”
With the annoying Chloe and Garrett here, she didn’t want to stay there.
Jack’s cold gaze warned Garrett.
Garrett, enraged, pointed at Jack as he felt he had lost face.“How dare you stare at me in such a look? Want a fight?”
After leaving Washington, Garrett had been treated like a king here. No one had ever shown him any disrespect.
Domineering, Jack just ignored him.
Garrett grabbed a bottle from a bartender and lunged at Jack. I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
Seeing Garrett charging, Alice pushed Jack.“Watch out!”
Everything seemed to slow down.
Alice closed her eyes as her waist was tightly gripped, her head bumping into Jack’s chest. It hurt a little.
Jack kicked Garrett away, his movement fierce and ruthless. His face was grim, his eyes cold. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, Alice would h been injured.
Garrett groaned in pain. Startled, Chloe rushed over.“Garrett, are you okay? You’re bleeding.”
Garrett was in such intense pain that he was utterly speechless.

Chloe looked at Alice. Alice, do you know who Mr. Yates is? If the Yates family presses charges, you can’t escape from it
Alice, clutching her head, said coldly, “Garrett attacked first. It was self–defense.”
“But you’re unharmed. Garrett is seriously injured. We’ll call the police.”

Chloe was nervous. If Garrett was seriously injured, the Yates family would have a problem with the Welch family, affecting her chances of marrying into the Yates family.
Andrew couldn’t stand it. He stepped forward “Garrett, what’s wrong with you?”
He thought, “Why can’t Garrett just stay in Washington? Why did he mess around here?
He even had the guts to attack Jack! He must be insane.”
Upon hearing a familiar voice, Garrett froze in shock, and he instinctively looked at the masked man standing before him.
He thought, “How can this voice be identical to Andrew’s?
“Is he Andrew?
Luke helped Garrett sit up.“Are you okay?”
I’m hurt. It hurts so much.”
Garrett wanted to play a hero, but the kick to his chest had rendered him breathless.
With every inhalation, his lungs throbbed with searing pain, and he couldn’t help but wonder if a rib might have been fractured.
Seeing Garrett’s pale face, Chloe was worried.“Luke, what can we do?”
Take him to the hospital! Who hurt him?”
Chloe turned to Alice. “That school doctor did it. He’s ruthless.”
Luke looked up and saw Alice wearing a mask, recognizing her at a glance. He strode over and hushed his voice, “Alice, are you aware of Garrett’s background? Due to you, he’s injured, and this could spell trouble for the Welch family.”
“Garrett attacked us first; we’re not at fault even if we go to the police station.”
Alice was annoyed. She wanted to relax and have fun tonight. But meeting Chloe here ruined her night.
Luke looked at Jack.“You hurt Garrett, didn’t you? If you’re a real gentleman, take your responsibility. Don’t get my sister involved!”
He needed to protect Alice before the Yates family pursued this matter.
Alice stood in front of Jack.“It’s none of his business. He fought back just to defend me.”
“Alice, are you crazy? I’m helping you!”
Luke didn’t understand.“Don’t you know what trouble you’ve made? It’s the Yates family from Washington!
“They’re so powerful, and we can’t afford to offend them!”
Alice, in a mood, straightened her back. She was aware that the Yates family would likely cause them trouble, but she didn’t want Jack to bear all the consequences alone.
“We’ll hire a lawyer. Even the Yates family can’t act irrationally.”
“You think they’ll be reasonable with you?”
Andrew intervened.“That’s not true. The Yates family is reasonable!”
Because Andrew himself had always been reasonable.
If he didn’t need to maintain his cover, he’d have slapped Garrett himself.
Luke ignored Andrew, looking at Alice.“Keep quiet. I’ll handle this. Have your man apologize to Garrett at the hospital later!”
After saying that, Luke helped Garrett up.“Garrett, let’s go. Your health is the priority.”
Garrett, grimacing in pain. At this moment, he had no extra energy to pursue this matter. He was nearly dying from the pain.
Passing Alice, Garrett growled, “You’ll pay for this! Ouch! It hurts…so much…”
Chloe lingered, looking at Alice.“You’re doomed! He’s the Yates family matriarch’s precious grandson. You’ll face the consequences. Just think how to apologize to Garrett and get his forgiveness.”
