Chapter 169 Alice didnât think she was âthatâ famous.
Jackâs eyelid twitched. He grabbed Mo. âThis kid publicly challenged your sixth brother, trying to steal you for his team.â
âOh, right. They had a big online fight.â
Alice looked at Jack.âHe called you âbrotherâ? Are you related?â
âYeah, weâre...ow!â
Moâs words were cut short by a sharp pinch from Jack. He winced, glaring at Jack.âWhat was that for?!â
Heâd been trying to make a good impression on his future sisterâinâlaw. Why did Jack pinch. him?! Was that polite?!
Alice pointed at the two. You must be related. You have the same last name.â
Then, Alice remembered something. John Wilson and Jack were related? But John Wilson was a young master from the prestigious Wilson family in Washington!
Alice looked intently at Jack.âWhy didnât you mention your connection to the Wilson family?â
Jack stammered, slightly flustered. âWe just share a surname.â
âYeah, distant relatives. This kidâs my little bro. We met playing games, and then he became close with Jack.â
Garrett arrived, putting an arm around John Wilson, frantically hinting.
John Wilson, realizing Alice probably didnât know Jackâs identity, said, âThatâs right! Both of them are my brothers!â
Alice looked at the three men, men, saying nothing. All All three held their breath.
Alice nodded. I didnât realize you were so close in real life. You never mentioned it.â
âWe talked about it. My brother uses my account.â
Alice recalled something. She thought Jackâs account had been hacked. The person claimed to be Jackâs brother, right? It had been a while; her memory was fuzzy.
Realization dawned on Alice. She looked at Mo.âThat account was really yours?â âYep! The real deal!â
Aliceâs emotions surged. Could the person from her past life have been John Wilson? Not Jack?
John Wilson sensed something was off.âWhatâs wrong? I only logged in once; my brother used it after that.â
âNothing.â
Alice lowered her head. Iâll be right back. Bathroom.â
She hurried to the restroom, replaying her past encounters with that person in her mind. Sheâd always assumed it was Jack because their mannerisms and speech were similar. Sheâd never actually met the person but imagined him to be similar to Jack But the account belonged to John Wilson.
If she hadnât met Jack, who would have been using that account?
Alice didnât dare to think further.
Outside, John Wilson stood under a pillar, hands raised, like a scolded child.
He cautiously looked at Jack. âBrother.â
Jack raised an eyebrow.âShut up!â
âBrother, I didnât know she didnât know! Iâm innocent!â
Garrett explained, âLuckily, I came just in time. Little Lemon didnât suspect anything.â âBrother, werenât you and SisterâinâLaw in a car accident? I saw a scar on her forehead.â
Jack glared at John Wilson, warning him.
wonât say anything! Iâve anything! Iâve always been tightâlipped!â
havenât you blabbed about since we were kids?!â
Mo covered his mouth. I wonât âTightâlipped? What secret Jack, losing his patience, looked at Garrett. âDonât let anything slip.â
Garrett nodded. âIâll be careful.â
John Wilson peeked out.âBrother, are you scared? Brother, have some confidence! Let me talk to her...â
Jackâs temples throbbed.
Garrett pulled John Wilson away.âJohn Wilson, you should leave. Donât cause trouble.â
This unlucky kid might cause a disaster.
âI havenât said goodbye to SisterâinâLaw yet! I want to make a good impression!â
Jack kicked him.âGet lost!â
âOw! You missed!â
John Wilson, clutching his backside, ran off.
Jack looked helpless.
Garrett patted Jackâs shoulder. âWhyâs this kid back? Oh, right, the finals are at the city stadium. this weekend.â
That explained the kidâs sudden return.
Soon, Alice came out of the restroom..
She looked at the two men.âWhereâs John Wilson?â
Jackâs eyelid twitched when she mentioned John Wilson.âHe has dinner plans with friends.â
âOh, I see. You know such amazing people. Why didnât you say anything when he used your account?â
Faced with Aliceâs question, Jack felt like he was on trial.
He pretended to be calm.âHeâs amazing? I donât think so.â
That was arrogant. John Wilson was a promising national team contender â highly talented, from a wealthy family, free from pressure and unfair treatment.
Chapter 169 Alice looked into Jackâs deep eyes. âYouâre pretty amazing games Garrett quickly changed the subject. Little Lemon, thereâs an Al exchange event tomorrow afternoon. Maple Leaf is invited. You should come. I just got the notice âSure, Iâll be there.â
Jack said, âIâll drive you back.â
âNo, I already called cab.
7 Jack watched Alice leave.
It should be here See you tomorrow!â
Garrett sighed.â[Little Lemon suspects something, doesnât she?]â
Jack watched the taxi drive away, his face halfâhidden in shadow.
Back in the dorm, Alice lay in bed thinking about John Wilsonâs account. Her mind was a whirlwind.
Many players had the same name. Maybe it wasnât the same account; sheâd just jumped to conclusions.
Alice barely slept.
The next day, she took her laptop to the place Garrett had mentioned, as she was the Al project lead.
She arrived early; the conference room was almost empty. She sat down and opened her laptop. She hadnât finished preparing her materials last night due to the account incident. âAlice, youâre alone? Whereâs Maple Leaf?â
Alice looked up and saw Chloe. They havenât arrived yet. Did you bring what I asked for?â
Chloe whispered, âIâm working on it. I came here to join the project so I can get the data you need.â
âYou need to hurry. If I donât get the data before the bidding, Iâll release that video.â
Chloeâs face fell. Just then, Luke arrived.
Chloe nervously changed the subject.â[The finals are at the stadium this weekend. Will you go, Alice? Sixth Brother has tickets!]â
Alice saw Luke and played along.
âOf course.
But I have Wilson tickets. John VIP seats reserved for me.
âYouâre really joining the Ballers team?â
Lukeâs face darkened at the mention of his rival team.
âNone of your business!â
Seeing the Maple Leaf team arrive, Alice stood and left the conference room..
Luke pursued her. âAlice, letâs talk!â
Chloe was about to leave when she saw Aliceâs laptop left on the table, the screen still lit.
She paused, her eyes fixated on Aliceâs laptop.
Without hesitation, she sat down in Aliceâs seat. She took out her phone and photographed Aliceâs files.
Chapter 160 âWhat are you doing?â
Chloeâs face turned pale when she saw Luke...
