Alice remained silent. Ethan''s voice came through the phone."Alice, don''te to the hospital. You''re responsible for Luke and your other brother. You have no face to show yourself!" The secretary was frantic. "Boss, you can''t say that!"


    "Am I


    I wrong? Who''s responsible for


    responsible for Luke being


    Luke being in the emergency


    room?"


    "But it was the boss''s choice! He wanted to see Ms. Alice. It was his wish. You can''t stop him!" The secretary pleaded, "Ms. Alice!"


    "I never said I''de. He just lost a lot of blood. He''ll live," Alice said. She wouldn''t fall for this. She''d been alone when she died in her past life, while her brothers were with Chloe.


    Alice hung up. The secretary slumped, defeated.


    Ethan stared at his phone, incredulous. She hung up? She won''t even visit her brother?!"


    "Boss, you told her not toe."


    "I was angry! She shoulde!"


    The secretary sighed.“Boss, family shouldn''t speak so harshly. You can be kinder.”


    "Was I not kind enough?"


    "Boss, you


    face your enemies withposure. Why are you so harsh with Alice? Shouldn''t. family be more patient, forgiving, and caring?”


    The secretary didn''t understand. Luke understood now, but Alice was deeply hurt. It was toote to regret.


    Ethan was speechless. He didn''t think he was wrong. Alice had done wrong; why should he apologize? Chloe would never be like Alice.


    Late at night, Luke was wheeled out of surgery, unconscious, murmuring Alice''s name.


    Ethan was upset.“He''s still thinking about that ungrateful Alice?”


    His assistant said, "Boss, the hacking stopped, but the stock price plummeted. Shareholders want


    answers."


    “I know. Tomorrow." Ethan looked at the secretary. “You met Mr. Yates in New York, right?”


    "Yes."


    "Who''s that man with Alice?"


    "Alice''s high school nurse. He seems close to Mr. Yates."


    Ethan narrowed his eyes. Just a nurse? Did you check?"


    “Yes. An ordinary nurse. Alice ran away with him. Mr. Yates helped hide her.”


    Just an ordinary nurse? He''d been wrong. The Wilson family heir rarely socialized; it was a world he couldn''t ess. The heir wouldn''t work as a high school nurse. He probably just got lucky meeting Andrew Yates.


    Ethan rxed. Good.


    Alice didn''t return to campus that weekend. She was at her apartment, preparing for her livestream. She found men''s shoes at the entrance, angrily shoving them into a closet.


    She wasn''t hungry. During her livestream, she showed off the new game character. Someone mentioned Alice Group''s plummeting stock.


    Alice said, “I have nothing to do with the Alices anymore."


    After the livestream, Alice was hungry. A knock came.


    "Delivery."


    Alice opened the door.“I didn''t order anything.


    "This is the address. Alice?"


    Alice found this strange. Only three people knew her address: Jack, Andrew Yates, and Guoguo. A message from Jack: "Remember to eat."


    Alice looked at the food, realizing it was from him. She replied, "I don''t need your delivery. I can order myself."


    I''m trying tofort you."


    Alice smiled slightly, then suppressed it. She was hungry, and it was her favorite food. After eating, she ignored his messages.


    The next day, Alice woke up naturally; she was attending the gaming industry party. She texted Guoguo to meet at her apartment.


    A message popped up: Open the door. Lunch is here."


    Alice opened the door to find lunch. Her mood improved. She texted Jack, Thanks, Boss."


    "Not angry anymore?"


    I


    wasn''t angry."


    Jack smirked. Was that what she called not being angry?


    He put down his phone. John Wilson shouted, "Brother! You''re back! Why didn''t you call me?! Jack shoved him away. Mrs. Wilson appeared. “John Wilson, stop bothering your brother!” “I just wanted to talk to him.” He wanted to confirm his brother hadn''t agreed to his sister-inw''s demands.


    Mrs. Wilson said to John Wilson, “You have a party. Go."


    Jack asked John Wilson, "What kind of party?"


    "A gathering. Cloud Battle''s team will be there. My agent wants to sign their captain!" John Wilson hinted that Alice would be there..


    Mrs. Wilson asked, “The captain is very skilled?”


    Jack warned John Wilson with a look. John Wilson scurried away. Mrs. Wilson sighed. "If he were half asposed as you, I''d be blessed. The Garcias have asked when you''ll have dinner with them.”


    "Mom, I''m busy. Don''t arrange anything. It''ll embarrass you."


    The butler


    announced, “Sir, Grandma is waiting for you in the garden.” Jack went to the garden. His grandmother gestured for him toe closer. "Prune the roses." The grandmother said, "I heard you met a girl in New York?"


    "Grandma, nothing''s confirmed."


    "My grandson is handsome. You can get any girl you want."


    Jack hesitated, looking at the elderly woman. He gave a wry smile.“Grandma, she''s the girl from then.”


    The old woman''s cup fell to the floor....
