Alice


    through


    Caleb''s


    charade. He wanted her to drop the charges.


    Alice smirked. "I won''t press charges."


    Caleb smiled, pleased. He knew she was smart enough to say the right things.. Alice shoved Caleb away. “Because I didn''t press charges. Maple pressed charges against Luke for stealing trade secrets."


    Caleb''s smile faded. Alice was uncooperative. She crushed the confetti canister and coldly red at the fans before walking away.


    Caleb dismissed the fans and chased after Alice."Stop! I said you could go!" His face was grim.“Chloe apologized. I spoke to Brother. They know they were wrong. I gave you an out, and you still want more?”


    “That''s my line. The public doesn''t know Brother was involved. If exposed, your Best Actor. nomination is ruined.” Alice hit a nerve by mentioning his nomination. Caleb''s face turned livid.“Alice, you''re threatening me? You''ve grown rebellious." Alice stood her ground. “I''m doing this for your own good. Don''t get involved." "I want our family to reconcile. Brother was wrong, and I''ll make him apologize. Tell me what you want."


    Alice sneered."I want you to stay away from me.” She left.


    Caleb


    Try it."


    chased after her."You think the media will


    “Alice, if you leave, your ssmate and roommate will suffer."


    believe you over me?"


    Alice stopped, annoyed. She turned to Caleb, sarcastic."Since childhood, you''ve only used violence. What else can you do?"


    "Alice, say


    that again!” Caleb''s face darkened, grabbing her wrist.


    Alice easily broke free. She was stronger than him. He was used to Alice being obedient and fearful.


    Alice said coldly, “You can''t beat me anymore.” She wouldn''t be a punching bag. Caleb said maliciously, “You don''t care if your friends get hurt?"


    “Mr. Caleb, did you forget the scripts for your and Chloe''s names, right?”


    your TV drama and uing movie? They''re under


    Caleb narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean? The scripts were a coborative effort."


    “That''s a lie. If I show everyone our chat logs and call recordings, your ''talented actor'' image will be ruined." "Alice, you dare!"


    Alice said calmly, "If you hurt my friends, try it." She sneered, leaving the campus. She was relieved; Caleb clearly cared about the Best Actor award.


    She went to the gym to improve her skills. He''d try to get back at her. This time, she wouldn''tpromise. Chapter 2in


    Dayster, Alice went to the base and found a film crew. Caleb, in sunsses, was sitting under a parasol. He was trying to force her toply. He was relentless,


    Caleb stood up."My dear sister, you''re finally here! Want to act? I can get you a role."


    "No. Why are you filming here?"


    "The school approved it. A youth campus drama about Cloud Battle." He acted as if their argument never happened.


    Chloe, in a schoolgirl outfit, said, "Sister Alice, cameo! We


    said, “Sister Alice, cameo! We can all be in it! Alice frowned. "Who''s family with you?"


    hand."Sister


    Chloe grabbed Alice''s hand. “Sister Alice, I know you''re still angry.....”


    "Get away from me!" Alice pushed Chloe; she fell.


    People looked over. Chloe was about to use Alice, but Caleb pulled her up, smiling. “You fell? Alice didn''t push you, right?"


    Chloe, intimidated, nodded.“I tripped.”


    “That''s right.” Caleb smiled at Alice. I''m on your side. Stop saying I''m biased." Alice found this ridiculous. She pped Chloe. Chloe screamed, "What are you doing?" "I''m hitting you. Do I need to pick a good day?"


    Alice went inside, refusing to cooperate. Caleb exined to the fans that it was a rehearsal.


    Chloe whined to Caleb,"Brother, my face. is bruised. I can''t film today. "I know. Rest today. Film tomorrow," Caleb said gently. “If anyone asks, you know what to say? “I know.”


    "Good girl. Alice should be more obedient. We need to teach her a lesson," Caleb said coldly. Chloe said, “Brother, tell them we were rehearsing. If they discover Alice isn''t in it, give her a role. I can get revenge then."


    "Good idea."


    "But she might refuse."


    Caleb said domineeringly, “She won''t.”


    Alice received a call from the school, ordering her to cooperate with Caleb. She couldn''t refuse. without giving up her position as captain. Why should she give up her dreams because of the Alices?


    Caleb entered the office, looking down at Alice. “There are many ways to make someone. obedient. Do you submit?"
