Alice''s words were incredibly disrespectful to Julia.


    The young man immediately spoke up."What''s wrong with you? Miss Garcia is giving you face, and you dare refuse?"


    "You want to be a lickspittle, but not everyone is like you."


    "The


    young man was furious. "Who are you? You think sleeping with Mr. Wilson will get you somewhere? Miss Garcia is the one engaged to him. You''re just a mistress!” “Shut up!" Jack punched him, hard and fast. His eyes were cold. “I''ll say it again: I''ve never been engaged to the Garcia


    Garcia family. Anyone who keeps gossiping will regret


    it."


    The room fell silent. Julia almost dropped her ss. She''d thought Jack would protect her, considering their childhood friendship. She never expected him to publicly deny the engagement. She would be theughingstock of high society. Why did he do this?


    Julia looked at Jack, her eyes red."Jack..."


    Jack''s expression was impassive. I warned you to clear this up yourself to avoid misunderstandings with my girlfriend."


    Alice stood beside him, hearing his low, cold voice. She saw Julia''s red eyes, a stark contrast to her previous act of the wronged wife confronting a mistress. Julia was a better actress. Julia noticed Alice''s gaze. Are you satisfied now?"


    Funny. You and Jack were never engaged. I didn''t spread the rumor, and I didn''t clear it up. What does it have to do with me?"


    If you


    hadn''t appeared, nothing would have happened between him and me.” The engagement rumor might have be reality. But Alice shattered Julia''s hopes.


    Alice didn''t want to be med."Jack doesn''t like you. What''s it to me? You should ask him, not me. Are you crazy?"


    The young man lunged forward.“How dare you talk like that?”


    Jack stood in front of Alice, his gaze warning.“She''s right. Even without her, I wouldn''t have. gotten engaged to Julia."


    Julia dropped her ss. Her usually elegant expression was ruined.


    Alice noticed everyone''s shocked expressions. But her heart pounded when she heard Jack''s words. He stood before her, shielding her from their curious gazes.


    Alice lowered her eyes; she only heard his words.


    Julia cried, "Jack"


    Jack''s voice was heavy."I have a name."


    had it easy.


    “Because of Alice, you''re cutting ties with me?" Julia had always had it When my grandmother was hospitalized, she lost her phone. You found it. But you shouldn''t have answered that call, causing a misunderstanding with my girlfriend.” Jack had been focused on Alice and hadn''t dealt with Julia. Now he wanted to rify.


    Alice looked up, noticing the gossiping eyes. She didn''t want to be the center of attention."Alright, there are a lot of people here."


    ,,Chapter 127


    Julia cried loudly, “Alice, you have no right to pity me!"


    Alice saw Julia''s tears, a far cry from her haughty demeanor at the cafe."Since you knew it would be embarrassing, why lie in the first ce?"


    "I didn''t lie! Ask everyone, are you worthy of Jack?" Julia lost herposure; her voice was sharp.


    Jack''s expression was tense."Julia, I''m the one who pursued her."


    Julia was speechless. He said he pursued Alice? What gave Alice


    gave Alice the right? Alice saw Julia''s distress and remembered the cafe. She probably looked the same then, heartbroken over the same man.


    She stood to leave; this was pointless.


    Jack stopped her. Alice''s face was tight.“What are you doing?”


    "Broken ss on the floor." Jack picked her up and spun her around before setting her down. “Let''s discuss the project at the office tomorrow."


    "Okay.” Alice, her face flushed, quickly left.


    Julia said hoarsely, "Jack, did you have to humiliate me like this?"


    “I told you to clear the engagement rumor. With someone else, do you think she''d be standing here?” Jack''s expression was serious, leaving ПO room for negotiation.


    Julia was speechless, watching Jack leave, feeling her world crumble. Outside, Alice returned to her team''s room. The server said, "The bill has been paid." Alice knew who paid. Leaving the room, she saw Jack in the lobby. He looked at her Her ssmates whispered, "Isn''t that the captain''s boyfriend? He waited outside school all night.” “Wow, he''s handsome! He''s even better-looking in person."


    Alice''s ears burned.“I called a cab. Let''s go back together."


    Passing Jack, her heart raced. She pretended not to see him, but she felt his Wang Yang came to Alice."Let''s


    go."


    gaze.


    Alice and Lana Parker got into the cab. Wang Yang, in the passenger seat, nced at the man at the entrance. But Jack just stared at Alice, ignoring Wang Yangpletely. Wang Yang felt ufortable and talked to Alice. She answered distractedly. As the car drove. she looked out the window. She saw Jack on his phone, noticing Julia running after him,


    away,


    her


    eyes red.


    Alice quickly looked away, taking out her phone. A message from Jack arrived. Her heart fluttered.
