Chapter 184: Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Jack flicked her forehead.“[What are you thinking about?]”

“[Nothing.]”

Alice didn’t press further, but she would settle the score.

They arrived at the school. Alice looked at him.“[I’ll go back. Don’t get your arm wet for a couple of days.]”

Jack frowned, silent. Alice found four band–aids and put them around his wound.“[There.]”

“[You’re making a charm? Those aren’t waterproof?]”

“[They’re not waterproof, but they’ll show if Alice smirked.“[I’m leaving.]”

you shower.]”

Jack watched her enter the school, noticing the pink band–aids. He smirked; she was childish. He didn’t remove them.

After Alice left, Jack’s expression hardened.“[Those thugs?]” He hadn’t acted in front of Alice, but that didn’t mean he’d let it go.

The trainer checked his phone.“[They’re caught and punished. What should we do with them?]”

Jack lowered his window, tapping his fingers.“[Sew the trainer’s mouth shut. Warn him not to talk. Have them testify; send that creep to jail for life.]”

Jack looked towards Cloud University, his gaze distant. His phone rang. He hesitated, then answered.“[Hello, Mom.]”

“[I heard you were injured?]”

Jack’s expression darkened.“[No.]”

“[Don’t lie. I know you went to the hospital.]”

Jack rubbed his temples.“[Minor injury.]”

“[Because of that girl? The car accident was with her too!]”

“[It’s not related to her.]”

He knew going to the Wilson family hospital would be discovered, but he’d didn’t want Alice to suspect anything.

gone anyway; he “[Ah Qian, if you like her, I won’t stop you. Bring her to meet me. What family is she from?]”

Jack’s voice was low.“[No need to meet.]”

“[Her background isn’t impressive? You’ve always had high standards. So many girls chased you; why her?]”

“[It’s different. Don’t investigate her.]”

“[I’d like to, but you’re so protective. No one can find anything.]”

Mrs. Wilson sighed, frustrated. She hadn’t found anything. He was very protective of her. He wouldn’t be if he didn’t care.

After a brief conversation, silence fell. Mrs. Wilson hung up.

Chapter 100 Menu Jack called John Wilson; bar music played in the background.“[Where are you?]” “[Brother, I’m at a bar. Want to join?]”

“[Go home and be with Mom. Don’t be out partying.]”

Jack hung up. With John Wilson at home, his mother wouldn’t bother him.

The trainer said anxiously, “[Sir, I shouldn’t have taken you to that hospital.]” He realized his mistake after hearing Mrs. Wilson’s call. It was too easy to be seen.

Jack closed his eyes.“[Just protect her.]” He could handle his affairs.

Alice, back in the dorm, thought about the gym incident. Jack, usually calm, had been impulsive. He’d been different. Did Jack have a secret identity?

The next day, Chloe forwarded a post:“A pervert was arrested at the gym across from school. Be careful; many girls encountered him.]”

Alice checked the post; it was about yesterday’s incident. That creep had harmed multiple girls. She’d done society a favor.

But Jack was injured. She texted him:“[Awake?]”

“[Yes. What?]”

“[Show me a picture.]”

“[Where?]”

Alice quickly locked her phone, then unlocked it.“[The band–aids.]”

[They’re still on.]”

“[I don’t believe you. Show me.]”

“[Or you can see them yourself?]”

Was he being serious?

Alice went to the team base for practice. Their goal was Someone sent a friend request. It was John Wilson!

She accepted, typing:“[How did you know my ID?]”

John Wilson, sucking on a lollipop, replied, “[Your fans know.]”

next year’s finals.

Alice felt complex emotions; he might be the person she’d had a crush on in her past life. She typed,“[I have questions.]”

“[Ask away.]” He knew everything about his brother, his secrets. He was sincere about his feelings for Alice.

you Alice hesitated.“[Hypothetically, would withdraw from a final for someone or something?]”

John Wilson had withdrawn from the finals in her past life. People suspected the Windhams had threatened him. But the Windhams couldn’t have touched him.

John Wilson hesitated. Why was she asking? To test his dedication? His mother didn’t approve of his gaming career; only his brother did.

“[Let me think...there is someone who could make me withdraw.]” His brother!

Chapter 190 He was conflicted. Alice’s question was unexpected!

Menu Seeing John Wilson’s delayed response, Alice typed:“[Forget it if it’s hard.]” “[It is. I hadn’t considered it. I’m professional; I wouldn’t withdraw without reason.]” Especially from the finals. But Alice must have a reason. Was she testing his resolve? After thinking, John Wilson typed:“[There is someone who could make me withdraw.]” His brother!
