Chapter 134: Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Max’s words silenced the room. Many eyes turned to Alice, some with gleeful anticipation.

I heard Alice ticked off the business school on her first day.”

“Yeah, I was there. She was totally arrogant”

“Some people need to know their place”

Max gloated, relishing Alice’s discomfort. She wanted to humiliate Alice, show her the price of defiance, make her life miserable until she begged for forgiveness.

Jason tried to mediate. “Ms. Garcia, there seems to be a misunderstanding Since we’re all in the same club, let’s just have a drink and forget about it.”

Chloe chimed in, “Right, Alice, Just apologize to Ms. Garcia.”

“She’ll have to kneel and beg for my forgiveness, Max sneered, grabbing a drink and throwing it in Alice’s face.“This is a lesson for you, country bumpkin. This is what a “real” gap looks like!” Alice calmly wiped her face..

Chloe grinned. Serves her right.

Jason offered Alice a drink.“Just toast her, and apologize.”

Alice took the drink. Jason smiled. That’s better. Now apologize to Ms. Garcia.” “When did I say I was going to apologize? Alice took the drink and poured it over Max’s head. Everyone froze. Max was notoriously difficult, and Alice had just dared to defy her Max screamed, “You little bitch! You’re dead!”

Chloe, shocked, handed Max tissues. She hadn’t expected Alice to be so bold Alice clapped her hands. “You threw a drink at me first. Consider this even.” She left the room, heading for the restroom. What a waste of time.

In the restroom, she ran into Chloe.

Chloe sneered, “You’ve made an enemy of Max. You’re finished. Even your brother can’t save you this time.”

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Using Max to get rid of me. Clever.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. But you’re doomed. The Garcia family won’t let this go.”

“I’ll wait and see.”

As Alice turned to leave, Chloe sprayed something at her. It smelled sweet, but oddly unsettling. Alice covered her nose and mouth, stepping back.

Max entered, flanked by bodyguards.“You dared to throw a drink at me? I’ll send ten thugs after you and let everyone see what you’re like. We’ll see how you survive at Harvard!” Alice felt her face flush, her limbs weakening. Max was ruthless. She’d underestimated her. Alice saw a mop bucket and threw it at Max. Max screamed, and the bodyguards swarmed her. Alice fled.

“She’s running!”

2 ★ Uhapter 134 Chloe grabbed Alice’s wrist, but Alice broke free and ran, finding an eleano Leaning against the elevator wall, she tried to decide who to call “Stop her!”

Cornered, Alice turned to the bodyguards.Tve called the police.”

“Even the President can’t help you here.”

“Little girl, this isn’t the place for you. Come quietly Weakening, she braced herself against a wall. A nearby door opened. Alice barged in smashing a vase.“I’ll pay for it, but I need to get to a hospital first!”

The bodyguards hesitated, clearly wary of this room’s occupant. She needed time, just enough to escape.

She could barely stand, only seeing a few men inside.

“Little Lemon? Is that you?”

Luke was startled to see see a girl storm into the room and smash a priceless vase. Recognizing his voice, Alice looked up, relief washing over her. The next second, strong arms lifted her from the shattered porcelain.

Jack, his eyes filled with anger and concern, asked, “What happened?”

Alice laughed, relieved. “It’s you guys.”

She leaned against him, her voice tinged with childish despair, “Someone bullied me! Jack noticed the alcohol on her, the unnatural flush on her skin, and understood. His face hardened, his gaze sweeping toward the hallway.

Luke understood instantly.“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this. Come on, everyone!” He quickly ushered the others out.

They were curious. “Who was that girl?

“I’m not dreaming, right? Jack actually showed a tender side! He even hugged a girl!” Luke coughed.“Don’t ask. We have more pressing matters.”

How had a simple welcome dinner turned into this?

Outside, the bodyguards were questioned. “We’re hotel staff. The girl owed us money after a drinking session.”

and ran off Luke’s face turned cold.“Watch your words. She’s not someone you can sWindham.” Inside, Alice clung to Jack, rubbing her cheek against his neck.

Jack held her hand. “What happened? I told you not to drink.”

“You’re yelling at me?” Tears welled in her eyes.

Jack softened his tone. “I’m worried about you!”

“Chloe set me up. She sprayed She sprayed something on me, making me weak and dizzy.” Jack confirmed his suspicions. He took off his jacket to wrap her in, holding her close as they left the room.

Luke dealt with the bodyguards.“They’re lying about who they work for.”

Jack, radiating cold fury, looked like a vengeful god.
