Chapter 209 Alice found her brotherâs tone amusing. They still thought they controlled her life?
Alice raised an eyebrow. âWho are you?â
Iâm your brother. Youâve forgotten how I disciplined you?â Calebâs anger flared at Aliceâs defiance. âNo wonder the familyâs a mess. Look what youâve done!â Ethanâs firewall issues, Lukeâs failed bid, and Lukeâs arrestâall connected to Alice.
Alice chuckled. âNone of that involves me.â
âDonât deny it! Did you hack Ethanâs company?â
âMy brotherâs company was hacked. He begged me to fix it.â
Calebâs expression faltered. This was different from Chloeâs story. Heâd come straight from the airport, intent 011 confronting Alice, after Chloe told him everything.
Chloe quickly explained, âBrother, I meant that Sister Alice attacked Brotherâs system to force him. Sheâs amazing now! Brother begged her for help.â
Caleb looked at Alice, surprised by her competence. But her cold expression angered him.âBrother worked hard to build that company. As a Alice, you should help him, not make him beg you!â
Chloe added, âShe took two million from Brother.â
Caleb was enraged.âAlice, you have no conscience! Taking that much money from your brother!â
Alice shrugged.âWhat else? Iâm not a charity.â
âAlice, how did you become like this?â Caleb grabbed her wrist, furious.âCome with me to the hospital. Apologize to Luke.â
Alice easily pushed Caleb away, startling him. Her strength had increased significantly She wiped her hand with disgust.âDonât touch me.â
âAlice, Lukeâs Lukeâs in the hospital because of you! You wonât even visit him?â
âI didnât make him hurt himself. Stop guiltâtripping me.â She knew Lukeâs selfâharm was a tactic to force her to compromise.
Sheâd almost fallen for it, until Jack helped her regain her composure. Luke knew exactly how to manipulate her. He always tried to smooth things over with Chloe, leaving Alice to suffer. Even her preâcollege struggles were dismissed with a simple apology.
eyes were Calebâs were red with anger.âAlice, youâre heartless! Iâll ask one last time: Will you come to the hospital?â
âNo.â
âIf you donât, Iâll never forgive you! Iâll never speak to you again!â He thought she feared his anger and silence.
Alice laughed.âWonderful! Keep your word.â She walked away.
Caleb yelled, âDonât regret this, Alice!â
Chloe comforted him. âBrother, donât be Sister angry.
Alice is still upset.
âSheâs been upset for a long time. How much longer should we appease her?â Caleb was shocked 59.5%
Chapter 209-
by everything that happened while he was gone. Alice had become increasingly unreasonable. Chloe sighed. âBrother, itâs my fault. Sister Alice dislikes me.â
âItâs not your fault.â
âBut Sister Alice wants to sever ties with the family. Luke and the other brother feel sorry. Luke especially dislikes me now, thinking Iâm the reason she ran away.â
Caleb softened.âDonât blame Luke. He always spoiled Alice. But donât worry. I wonât let you suffer.â
âBrother, Iâll listen to you.â Chloe wanted to pursue her own career in entertainment.
âIâll arrange it. Iâll make you a top star.â
âReally? My friend, Max, loves your acting. Can I get an autograph and a photo?â
âOf course.â
âLetâs go. Should you try to convince Sister Alice?â
Calebâs expression turned cold.âNo.â Ignoring Alice for a while usually worked. Heâd let her stew in her own juices.
Alice grabbed something to eat. Daniel approached.âAre you okay? Your brothers are all the same! Youâre their real sister!â He was furious at their behavior.
Alice smirked. âTheyâve always been this way.â
âNo wonder you want to cut ties. Iâd blow them all up. They hadnât treated her like a sister or even a human being.
Alice changed the subject. Our sponsors pulled out. I need new ones. Can you help?â âNo problem. Come with me.â Daniel led her to a group of wellâdressed businessmen.
Daniel introduced Alice. She briefly explained Cloud Battleâs situation and plans for next yearâs competition, mentioning sponsorships.
One manager said, âWeâre excited about Cloud Battle next year. Sponsorship shouldnât be a problem.â
Another said, âWe can sponsor you too. Hereâs my card.â
Alice felt relieved.
âIf you want to sponsor Cloud Battle, think carefully. She rejected our familyâs sponsorship, let. alone yours.â
Max, in a designer dress, approached, with Chloe and Caleb. Chloe was watching with malicious intent.
Aliceâs expression turned cold.âMax, do you want me to expose your money laundering scheme?â
Caleb frowned.âWatch your words! The Mos are not someone you can offend! Apologize!â
Alice sneered.âWho are you?â
Caleb raised his voice. âAlice, donât make me force you! Apologize!â
