Chapter 218 Alice through Calebâs charade. He wanted her to drop the charges.
Alice smirked.âI wonât press charges.â
Caleb smiled, pleased. He knew she was smart enough to say the right things.. Alice shoved Caleb away. âBecause I didnât press charges. Maple pressed charges against Luke for stealing trade secrets.â
Calebâs smile faded. Alice was uncooperative. She crushed the confetti canister and coldly glared at the fans before walking away.
Caleb dismissed the fans and chased after Alice.âStop! I said you could go!â His face was grim.âChloe apologized. I spoke to Brother. They know they were wrong. I gave you an out, and you still want more?â
âThatâs my line. The public doesnât know Brother was involved. If exposed, your Best Actor. nomination is ruined.â Alice hit a nerve by mentioning his nomination. Calebâs face turned livid.âAlice, youâre threatening me? Youâve grown rebellious.â Alice stood her ground.âIâm doing this for your own good. Donât get involved.â
âI want our family to reconcile. Brother was wrong, and Iâll make him apologize. Tell me what you want.â
Alice sneered.âI want you to stay away from me.â She left.
Caleb Try it.â
chased after her.âYou think the media will âAlice, if you leave, your classmate and roommate will suffer.â
believe you over me?â
Alice stopped, annoyed. She turned to Caleb, sarcastic.âSince childhood, youâve only used violence. What else can you do?â
âAlice, say that again!â Calebâs face darkened, grabbing her wrist.
Alice easily broke free. She was stronger than him. He was used to Alice being obedient and fearful.
Alice said coldly, âYou canât beat me anymore.â She wouldnât be a punching bag. Caleb said maliciously, âYou donât care if your friends get hurt?â
âMr. Caleb, did you forget the scripts for your and Chloeâs names, right?â
your TV drama and upcoming movie? Theyâre under Caleb narrowed his eyes. âWhat do you mean? The scripts were a collaborative effort.â
âThatâs a lie. If I show everyone our chat logs and call recordings, your âtalented actorâ image will be ruined.â
âAlice, you dare!â
Alice said calmly, âIf you hurt my friends, try it.â She sneered, leaving the campus. She was relieved; Caleb clearly cared about the Best Actor award.
She went to the gym to improve her skills. Heâd try to get back at her. This time, she wouldnât compromise.
Chapter 2in Days later, Alice went to the base and found a film crew. Caleb, in sunglasses, was sitting under a parasol. He was trying to force her to comply. He was relentless, Caleb stood up.âMy dear sister, youâre finally here! Want to act? I can get you a role.â
âNo. Why are you filming here?â
âThe school approved it. A youth campus drama about Cloud Battle.â He acted as if their argument never happened.
Chloe, in a schoolgirl outfit, said, âSister Alice, cameo! We said, âSister Alice, cameo! We can all be in it! Alice frowned.âWhoâs family with you?â
hand.âSister Chloe grabbed Aliceâs hand. âSister Alice, I know youâre still angry...â
âGet away from me!â Alice pushed Chloe; she fell.
People looked over. Chloe was about to accuse Alice, but Caleb pulled her up, smiling.âYou fell? Alice didnât push you, right?â
Chloe, intimidated, nodded.âI tripped.â
âThatâs right.â Caleb smiled at Alice. Iâm on your side. Stop saying Iâm biased.â Alice found this ridiculous. She slapped Chloe.
Chloe screamed, âWhat are you doing?â âIâm hitting you. Do I need to pick a good day?â
Alice went inside, refusing to cooperate. Caleb explained to the fans that it was a rehearsal.
Chloe whined to Caleb ,âBrother, my face. is bruised. I canât film today. âI know. Rest today. Film tomorrow,â Caleb said gently. âIf anyone asks, you know what to say? âI know.â
âGood girl. Alice should be more obedient. We need to teach her a lesson,â Caleb said coldly. Chloe said, âBrother, tell them we were rehearsing. If they discover Alice isnât in it, give her a role. I can get revenge then.â
âGood idea.â
âBut she might refuse.â
Caleb said domineeringly, âShe wonât.â
Alice received a call from the school, ordering her to cooperate with Caleb. She couldnât refuse. without giving up her position as captain. Why should she give up her dreams because of the Alices?
Caleb entered the office, looking down at Alice. âThere are many ways to make someone. obedient. Do you submit?â
