Chapter 212 Alice glared at Caleb âGet lost!â
Caleb remained unmoved.âI wondered why you changed. You have a man backing you now. Alice, do you have any shame?â
Alice said coldly, âWhat shame? Captain Mo and I are friends.â
âSister Alice, Mo was clearly protective of you. He likes you. But if Mr. Yates finds out about you and Mo, will he be angry?â She waited for Aliceâs panicked reaction, but her face remained. impassive. Caleb was shocked.âChloe, what do you mean? Whatâs her relationship with Mr. Yates? Heâd returned to a situation he didnât understand.
âBrother told me. Sister Alie is close to Mr. Yates. He gave her shares in a tech company.â
Caleb understood. It was a mistress arrangement. He stared at Alice, enraged. âI underestimated you. No wonder youâre so confident. Youâve hooked up with Mr. Yates.â How could his sister do this?
Aliceâs eyes turned icy.âIâll turned icy.âIâll say this one last time: Andrew Yates is a friend.â She wanted to leave.
âIâm not finished. If Mom and Dad knew about this, theyâd be furious!â Aliceâs eyes hardened. She grabbed Calebâs collar.âYou donât deserve to mention Mom and Dad.â âI donât? Do you?â She punched him. He fell to the ground, astonished. If heâd thought his earlier experience was an accident, this proved Aliceâs skills were superior..
Alice looked at Chloe, who recoiled.âWhat... what are you going to do? Alice grabbed Chloeâs neck, tightening her grip.âYou think Luke took the fall, and youâre safe?â
âLet me go! I didnât force Luke to do it. Luke had done it willingly.
Alice said, her voice low, âYour good times are over. Iâll take everything from you until you can neither live nor die.â Like she had been in her past life.
âI believe you! Let me go!â Chloe was terrified. When did Alice become so strong? Alice released her. Chloe gasped for air, like a fish out of water.
Caleb got up.âAlice, you dared to attack Chloe! Her father saved your life!â
âThatâs why I spared her life.â
Caleb tried to stop her but couldnât. He watched her leave, feeling uneasy about this new, powerful Alice. He preferred the old, clingy Alice.
Alice acted as if nothing happened. The party ended.
Alice found Guoguo.âHowâd the autograph collection go?â
âGreat! Many were fans and happily agreed to pictures.â
âItâs late. Letâs go.â
Alice said goodbye to Mo and Daniel. Mo said, âLetâs go together. This party was boring.â Alice noticed Moâs sunglasses. âIs that a special look?â
âYes, cool! Mo awkwardly adjusted his sunglasses, striking a pose.âCool, right?
Cool!â Guoguo agreed.
Chapter 212 They left. Mo watched their taxi leave, waving.
Daniel approached, his gaze complex. âYou like her, huh?â Mo had been protective of Alice all night.
âSheâs my sisterâinâlaw!â
âSisterâinâlaw?! I wasnât wrong in New York. It really âwasâ your brother!â Daniel thought heâd been mistaken.
Mo was gossipy. âWhat was my brother doing in New York?â
âI donât know. I just saw him with Alice. I wasnât sure if it was him.â Now he was certain it was Jack.
Daniel asked, âIs the engagement with Ms. Garcia real?â Rumors lasted so long; there must be something to it.
âNo. Mom is obsessed. My brother never confirmed it. She thinks time will change his mind. Impossible.â Mo knew his brother.
Once he made a decision, nobody could change it. Daniel took off Moâs sunglasses.âWhose handiwork are these?â
Mo snatched back his sunglasses. âMy brotherâs, of course!â His brother used âchecking his skillsâ as an excuse to beat him up!.
Mo slapped his forehead. âI almost forgot something important!â He needed to tell Alice about hist brotherâs identity! His brother kept hitting him.
He texted Alice, âI have something important to tell you. Text me when you get home.â Alice saw the message in the taxi.
Guoguo said, âCaptain, I think Captain Mo likes you.
You think so too?â
past life, âItâs obvious. He was by your side all night, protecting you. Nobody dared to offend you.â
Alice had a headache. She didnât like Mo. She wasnât sure if he was the man from her but she didnât feel anything for him now.
Was this the fabled âonline dating meets real lifeâ disaster?
Alice dropped Guoguo off and then headed to her apartment. A black luxury car pulled up. Caleb got out.âAlice, you live here.
Andrew Yates bought this for you, right?â Aliceâs face changed.âWho told you to follow me?â She didnât want the Alices to know her address.
âAlice, I know you needed money and wanted to prove yourself, but being a mistress is wrong!
Come home with me!â
Alice retorted, âTry it.â A van arrived, and bodyguards surrounded her. âAlice, donât go down this path.â
