Chapter 207 Alice remained silent. Ethanâs voice came through the phone.âAlice, donât come to the hospital. Youâre responsible for Luke and your other brother. You have no face to show yourself!â The secretary was frantic. âBoss, you canât say that!â
âAm I I wrong? Whoâs responsible for responsible for Luke being Luke being in the emergency room?â
âBut it was the bossâs choice! He wanted to see Ms. Alice. It was his wish. You canât stop him!â The secretary pleaded, âMs.
Alice!â
âI never said Iâd come. He just lost a lot of blood. Heâll live,â Alice said. She wouldnât fall for this. Sheâd been alone when she died in her past life, while her brothers were with Chloe.
Alice hung up. The secretary slumped, defeated.
Ethan stared at his phone, incredulous. She hung up? She wonât even visit her brother?!â
âBoss, you told her not to come.â
âI was angry! She should come!â
The secretary sighed.âBoss, family shouldnât speak so harshly. You can be kinder.â
âWas I not kind enough?â
âBoss, you face your enemies with composure. Why are you so harsh with Alice? Shouldnât. family be more patient, forgiving, and caring?â
The secretary didnât understand. Luke understood now, but Alice was deeply hurt. It was too late to regret.
Ethan was speechless. He didnât think he was wrong. Alice had done wrong; why should he apologize? Chloe would never be like Alice.
Late at night, Luke was wheeled out of surgery, unconscious, murmuring Aliceâs name.
Ethan was upset.âHeâs still thinking about that ungrateful Alice?â
His assistant said, âBoss, the hacking stopped, but the stock price plummeted. Shareholders want answers.â
âI know. Tomorrow.â Ethan looked at the secretary. âYou met Mr. Yates in New York, right?â
âYes.â
âWhoâs that man with Alice?â
âAliceâs high school nurse. He seems close to Mr. Yates.â
Ethan narrowed his eyes. Just a nurse? Did you check?â
âYes. An ordinary nurse. Alice ran away with him. Mr. Yates helped hide her.â
Just an ordinary nurse? Heâd been wrong. The Wilson family heir rarely socialized; it was a world he couldnât access. The heir wouldnât work as a high school nurse. He probably just got lucky meeting Andrew Yates.
Ethan relaxed. Good.
Alice didnât return to campus that weekend. She was at her apartment, preparing for her livestream. She found menâs shoes at the entrance, angrily shoving them into a closet.
She wasnât hungry. During her livestream, she showed off the new game character. Someone mentioned Alice Groupâs plummeting stock.
Alice said, âI have nothing to do with the Alices anymore.â
After the livestream, Alice was hungry. A knock came.
âDelivery.â
Alice opened the door.âI didnât order anything.
âThis is the address. Alice?â
Alice found this strange. Only three people knew her address: Jack, Andrew Yates, and Guoguo. A message from Jack:âRemember to eat.â
Alice looked at the food, realizing it was from him. She replied, âI donât need your delivery. I can order myself.â
Iâm trying to comfort you.â
Alice smiled slightly, then suppressed it. She was hungry, and it was her favorite food. After eating, she ignored his messages.
The next day, Alice woke up naturally; she was attending the gaming industry party. She texted Guoguo to meet at her apartment.
A message popped up: Open the door. Lunch is here.â
Alice opened the door to find lunch. Her mood improved. She texted Jack, Thanks, Boss.â
âNot angry anymore?â
I wasnât angry.â
Jack smirked. Was that what she called not being angry?
He put down his phone. John Wilson shouted, âBrother! Youâre back! Why didnât you call me?! Jack shoved him away. Mrs.
Wilson appeared. âJohn Wilson, stop bothering your brother!â âI just wanted to talk to him.â He wanted to confirm his brother hadnât agreed to his sisterâinâlawâs demands.
Mrs. Wilson said to John Wilson, âYou have a party. Go.â
Jack asked John Wilson, âWhat kind of party?â
âA gathering. Cloud Battleâs team will be there. My agent wants to sign their captain!â John Wilson hinted that Alice would be there..
Mrs. Wilson asked, âThe captain is very skilled?â
Jack warned John Wilson with a look. John Wilson scurried away. Mrs. Wilson sighed. âIf he were half as composed as you, Iâd be blessed. The Garcias have asked when youâll have dinner with them.â
âMom, Iâm busy. Donât arrange anything. Itâll embarrass you.â
The butler announced, âSir, Grandma is waiting for you in the garden.â Jack went to the garden. His grandmother gestured for him to come closer. âPrune the roses.â The grandmother said, âI heard you met a girl in New York?â
Chapter 417 âGrandma, nothingâs confirmed.â
âMy grandson is handsome. You can get any girl you want.â
Jack hesitated, looking at the elderly woman. He gave a wry smile.âGrandma, sheâs the girl from then.â
The old womanâs cup fell to the floor....
