Chapter 210 Aliceâs gaze was contemptuous. Calebâs anger flared. He raised his hand to strike, but Alice stood motionless, her dark eyes fixed on him. He hesitated, then tried to grab her arm, intending to make her apologize to Max.
Alice grabbed his arm and twisted it. Calebâs face paled. He tried to resist, but the pain intensified.
Max exclaimed, âAlice, what are you doing? Let go!â
Chloe cried anxiously, âSister Alice, let go! Do you want to break Brother Fourâs arm?â A hint of triumph flickered in her eyes.
Caleb was a public figure; being assaulted by Alice would guarantee his disapproval. Luke and the other brother sided with Alice.
She needed to prevent the others from doing the same.
Alice released Calebâs arm.âMr. Caleb you made the first move. Selfâdefense.â
Caleb felt humiliated. Aliceâs skills had improved dramatically. Was this the timid girl he remembered?
Chloe stepped in front of Caleb.âSister Alice, youâre too much! Brother Four was only trying to help.â
âKeep your help. I donât need it.â
Caleb was furious. âAlice, I see you for who you are. I was going to give you opportunities. Since you donât care about the Alice family, Iâll give them to Chloe.â Alice used to fear this. But Caleb saw Î Î fear in her eyes, making âhimâ uneasy. Did she really not care?
Aliceâs expression was cold. âSuit yourself. Iâve never cared about your resources.â She used to help Caleb with screenplays and ideas, trying to build a relationship and contribute. She never expected anything in return.
Caleb remained unconvinced.âWeâll see how long you can keep that up.
Chloe, delighted but outwardly calm, said, âSister Alice, Brother Four was joking. How could I take your opportunities?â
âChloe, donât say that. Since some people are ungrateful, I wonât be kind anymore.â Caleb, humiliated, left.
Alice found this amusing. In her past life, Calebâs resources had all gone to Chloe. They were still using this to threaten her, but she didnât care.
Chloe was pleased. Caleb would surely not forgive Alice. Max, feeling sorry for Caleb, glared at Alice. âYouâre ungrateful! Brother Four was so good to you!â
Chloe said, âMs. Garcia, Sister Alice is already famous. Her signing bonus was ten million. She doesnât need Brother Fourâs help.â
Daniel sneered. âTen million is nothing compared to Ms. Garciaâs yearly allowance. But Alice. earned that money. Ms. Garcia got hers from her family. Big difference.â
Max glared at Daniel. You dare insult me? My father will deal with you! A small team dares to defy me!â Sheâd come to settle scores with Alice.
Daniel scoffed,âMs. Garcia, donât you know our team is invested by the Wilson family?â âMy sister is about to get engaged to a Wilson. Sheâll be the future mistress. Youâre fired first!â
Max remembered Ball was Wilsonâinvested.
do She couldnât anything.
Chapter 210 Daniel said, âThe rumors about the Mos and the Wilsons have been around for a while. Weâve never seen the Wilson heir and your sister appear together publicly. Itâs all speculation. Youâre throwing yourself at him.â
Alice was surprised. Sheâd heard rumors of the Wilson heir and Maxâs engagement in her past life, but it never materialized.
Max was enraged.âYouâre a lowly employee! My brotherâinâlaw is busy. Our families will have dinner soon, to discuss the engagement.â Thatâs why she apologized to Alice publicly.
âMax, are you crazy? My brother never agreed to dinner with you!â Alice looked up. Mo appeared, wearing sunglasses, looking mysterious. Here to debunk the rumors?
Max said, âIt was arranged.â
âMy mother arranged it with your family. It has nothing to do with my brother.â âYour mother arranged the engagement.â
âThen let my mother marry your sister! Sheâs the one doing all the negotiating. Theyâre a better match.â
Max burst into tears.â, youâre going too far! This was arranged by your mother!â âIâm her disobedient son. Sheâs embarrassed by me all the time. It doesnât matter.â His brother brought honor to his mother. He could spare a little embarrassment.
Max, unable to cope with the attention, left angrily. Chloe, however, remained, looking excitedly at Mo. The Ball captain was the Wilson heirâs brother, a topâtier socialite! Richer than Garrett Yates!
Chloe decided to pursue Mo. She approached him, sweetly saying, âCaptain Mo, Max has a bad temper. She was only talking about sponsorships.â
âCloud Battle needs sponsors?â Mo ignored her, approaching Alice.âWhy didnât you tell me?â His sisterâinâlaw needed sponsors;
a simple call wouldâve solved it.
Alice nodded. âMo was our sponsor, but things...happened, and they withdrew.
Mo looked looked at the sponsors.âWhat are you waiting are you waiting for? Seize this opportunity!â
Alice pulled on Mo. Iâve already talked to them. Letâs discuss later.â
âYes! We want to sponsor you! Ms. Alice is amazing! Next year, youâll be a dark horse.â Mo nodded. âThatâs right. Alice is my friend. Take care of her.â It was his brotherâs orders. Alice noticed everyoneâs attitude had changed. Chloe was furious. Aliceâs luck infuriated her. Chloe approached, sweetly asking, âSister Alice, when did you become so close to Young Master Mo?â
