Chapter 187 Alice, hearing the silence on the other end, scoffed.â[I was going to apologize if you took the blame, but you didnât give me the chance! Tak tsk! The sarcasm was dripping. Lukeâs father was enraged.â[Alice, youâre doing this to drive a wedge between us!
What do you gain?]â
âIâm doing this for your own good! Otherwise, you three will go to jail together. A closeâknit family, united in prison.]â
â[As if.]â
Alice continued her performance.â[Mr. Windham, I let you choose one person to take the blame. Isnât that for your own good?]â
â[If Sixth Brother goes to jail, his career is ruined! Are you heartless?]â â[Youâre selfish! You should take the blame! You preach about family but let your brother take the fall! Selfish!]â
Alice covered her mouth, laughing. Jack watched; she was like a sly fox. Lukeâs fatherâs anger flared.â[Alice, donât gloat. Even if Sixth Brother takes the blame, youâll lose without a lawyer. Weâll see!]â
â[You called to say this?]â
â[Yes. Face reality. Drop the charges before it gets worse.]â
â[See you in court!]â
Alice hung up.â[See? I was right. He wonât take responsibility.]â
Jack spoke.â[Is it Luke? He only participated; he didnât take the photos.]* â[Little Lemon, are you letting them off too easily, especially that toxic_lotus?]â Alice smiled.â[Iâm slowly tearing apart their hypocritical family façade, making Chloe lose everything, and the Windhams go bankrupt because of her.]â
She wanted to see if their bond would survive. This was her retribution for her past suffering.
Garrett clapped.â[Well done. I want to see their faces when they realize Chloeâs true nature.]*
Alice said, â[But we still have the lawsuit.]â
â[Little Lemon, my lawyer is handling it. Donât worry.]â
Alice relaxed. She stood.â[If thereâs nothing else, Iâm leaving.]*
Passing Jack, she glanced at his phone. He pressed his hand on it, meeting her gaze.
Alice coughed and turned away. He was alert.
Jack raised an eyebrow; she was trying to sneak a peek?
After Alice left, Jackâs expression turned cold.â[Did your cousin cause the lawyer issue?]â
â[Iâll check. If itâs him, Iâll break his legs!]â Garrett suspected Garrett Yates.
Jackâs phone buzzed. He stood.â[Find out and solve it.]â
â[Where are you going?]â

Chapter 187 â[To the gym.]â
Menu Jack left without looking back. Garrett sighed; he was playing mother hen.
Alice went to the gym. After changing, she went to the weight area to build muscle; her trainer always said her physical condition was poor.
A young man approached.â[First time here? Let me show you.]â
Alice, after watching his demonstration, thanked him politely.
â[Youâre a Cloud University student?]â
Alice gave a perfunctory response; the manâs eyes lit up.â[A highâachiever! I love girls like you.]â
lice ignored him. He mumbled,â[My family was poor; I started a business and got lucky; my company went public. But I regret not studying more. I like smart girls.]â Alice moved to another machine; he followed.â[Beautiful, letâs exchange contact info. Iâm single and wellâoff; I want a highly educated wife.]â
Alice said impatiently, â[No. Donât bother me.]â
â[Thatâs not bothering you. You canât even afford a trainer; your family must be poor. Marry me; your son will inherit millions.]â
He stood behind her.â[Let me show you.]â
Alice grabbed his hand and twisted it. He yelled, â[Let go!]â
Alice stared at him coldly.â[Did you look in the mirror this morning? Even ten years of gold mining wouldnât produce a fool like you! Incel!]â
She released him, wiping her hand on her pants.
He mumbled, â[Pretending to be pure. College girls are all gold diggers! Iâve slept with many like you; a little money, and theyâre naked.]â
Alice threw water on him.â[Rinse your mouth; itâs disgusting.]â
â[I like your personality.50,000 a month? Enough?]â
Alice was losing patience. She checked the gymâs cameras; she needed a blind spot. Her trainer said not to fight unless provoked.
She walked towards the emergency exit, a blind spot. He followed.â[100,000 if youâre a virgin.]â Alice beckoned. He was excited.â[You like this? Shouldâve said so!]â
Alice punched him. Sheâd never met such a disgusting man. She grabbed a mop bucket and poured water over his head.
â[Your mouth is foul; it needed washing.]â
â[Iâll call the police! I lost a tooth!]â
Alice clapped.â[Go ahead. Iâll tell them you harassed me; it was selfâdefense. The cameras have it all. Who do think theyâll believe?]â you looked creep experienced.
This He wailed, â[I wonât let you go! My lawyers will put you in jail! Youâll see how powerful the rich are!]â
Alice laughed. Was he acting?

â[Yes! She agreed to be my kept woman, then demanded 100,000 a month!]â
The other patrons whispered. In this day and age, women were always at a disadvantage in such situations.
