Chapter 228 Jack stood in the doorway like a grim reaper. The TG PR team was stunned. The Yates family. heir was here?
The lead woman stammered, âMr. Yates... Mr...â
Jackâs voice was cold as ice.âGet out.â
The woman tried to explain, âWeâre here on business, to resolve...â
Jack threw a glass across the room.âGet out! Donât make me say it again!â The woman, about to protest, was pulled away by her colleagues. Couldnât they see how furious.
he was?
Alice, noticing Jackâs anger, said to the woman, âYouâre the manager, right? I donât care who backs. TG PR, but I wonât cooperate with any statements.â
The woman stared at Alice, surprised. âYou donât know he...â
Jack glared at the woman, silencing her with a warning look. The woman was practically dragged out. If they stayed any longer, theyâd all be out of a job.
Alice watched them leave. âTheyâre probably Blakeâs PR team. Apparently, theyâre quite powerful, with the Yates family backing them.â
âDonât worry about them; TG wonât take the job,â Jack said confidently, setting down the food. âEat something.â
Alice looked at him cautiously.âYou mean Jack?â She knew Jack, Jack, and Daniel were close maybe they could pull some strings..
I have an idea,â she said.
Jack pushed the chopsticks towards Alice. Go on.â
Iâll hire TG as âmyâ PR team. Iâll pay them, and Daniel wonât be in a difficult position. What do you think?â
Jack looked at her deeply.âEat first.â
âDo you think it wonât work?â
âIâll contact Daniel. Eat.â
Alice started eating, using her left hand due to her injured right arm. She struggled to pick up the food with her left hand.
*Clumsy. Now you know itâs inconvenient,â Jack said, taking the food container and feeding her. Alice paused.âCan you get a little lower? You look like a little lower? You look like youâre feeding a pet.â
âDemanding, arenât we?â Jack said, but knelt before her.
Alice ate a few bites and shook her head.âIâm full.â
âRest.â
âBut I saw the TG people are still outside,â Alice said, noticing they were still lingering. Jack calmly handed her a napkin. Iâll handle it. Rest.â
âBut...â
6505 âAlice, try relying on me for once.â His gaze was intense, making Alice slightly uncomfortable. She coughed, averting her eyes.
âBut I canât rely on you forever.â
âWhy not?â His tone made her heart race. She looked at him suspiciously.âBut you said...â Heâd told her to make new friends at college and start a new life.
Jack looked at her, injured and vulnerable.âBut I regret it.â He didnât want to see her alone in that abandoned building, crying and begging for mercy.
Aliceâs face flushed.âAre you... confessing?â She wasnât stupid; sheâd noticed the change in Jackâs attitude.
Jack tapped her forehead lightly.âI thought you were clueless.â He stood. âI just thought you were too young before, but can wait.
He He never wanted to see that scene again.
Alice blurted out, âYou donât have to wait.â Her face burned.
Jack smirked.âAt least let me handle those people outside first.â
Watching him leave, Alice touched her face, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Was she dreaming?
Outside, Jack confronted the three. âTG PR, right?â
Earlier...â
The lead woman nodded respectfully.âMr. Yates, Iâm the manager. âYou have two choices.â Jackâs expression was impassive.âFirst: resign, leave Cloud City.â
The three responded in unison, âWe choose the second option.â
Jack glanced at the girl in the room, playing on her phone.âFrom today, youâre her PR team and personal assistants. Handle all her affairs.â
The woman was astonished. This was an upgrade? Theyâd heard rumors about Jack having a girlfriend, an accident theyâd kept quiet. Was this her? She might become the future Mrs. Yates. A blessing in disguise?
Jack called Jack. Your auntâs the wife of a prominent journalist. I need a favor.
âI know what you want. Iâve already contacted my aunt. Blake will be destroyed. But why bother? Taking down Blake is easy.â
âThatâs not what Alice wants,â Jack replied. The Windham family had always forced things on Alice, things she didnât want. He didnât want to do that; he wanted her to live life on her terms, without interference.
Jack sighed.âStop showing off. Blake was just whisked away by his manager in a helicopter. But after all that waiting, heâs had his lesson.â Jack looked at the night sky; he had a lot of work to do.
Blake was rushed to the hospital. The media swarmed the building, desperate for information. Noah, looking unwell, arrived just as Blake was wheeled out, his facial injuries clearly visible.
Noah was worried.âHow did he get hurt so badly?â
Chloe sobbed. âI donât know. When I got there, he was already like this.â She was genuinely crying; Blakeâs disfigurement would ruin his career. Who in this industry didnât depend on their looks? How could he act now? If Blakeâs career was ruined, what would happen to her?
Noah was impatient. âStop crying. Explain the live stream. I donât believe you didnât know.â He didnât trust Chloe; she lied whenever Alice was involved.
Chloe stammered, âI really didnât know. Four and Alice have always had conflicts. He wanted 6505 Alice in drop the charger and make the family whole. Alice refused, leading to the fight Noah pred further Youâre still lying Four wouldnât attack her without reason.â Chloe saw Etban arrive and dramatically collapsed. âBrother, I really didnât know!â Ethan rushed to help Chloe. âNoah, why are you questioning her?
