Chapter 306 Alice hesitated, then started the game, rejecting his team request. Her heart pounded. But remembering the headlines, her heart hardened. If he was getting married, why was he contacting her? The meeting heâd mentionedâwas this it?
Alice wasnât focused on the game. Meanwhile, Daniel was stunned by the rejection. He checked Aliceâs game history; sheâd been playing with the same man, whose username was identical to his. What was going on?
Daniel sent a screenshot to Jack.â[Bro, you made a new account? Why didnât you add me to your games with sisâinâlaw?] Are you avoiding being a third wheel?â
Jack called, his voice tense.â[Who is she playing with?]â
â[Isnât it you?]â
Jack gritted his teeth.â[No.]â
Daniel stammered, â[But sisâinâlaw has played many games with this guy; theyâre always together. I thought it was you.]â
Jackâs face darkened, looking at the screenshot. This was why Alice was ignoring him? â[Bro, did you fight with sisâinâlaw?
Maybe itâs a teammate; theyâre training.]* Jack finally replied, â[We had a little argument.]â
â[Did you reveal your identity? Is she angry?]â
â[No. I didnât reply to her messages on time. Grandma got sick, and there was an emergency at the company. I only replied the next day.]â
â[Bro, youâre doomed. Not replying on time is a huge crime. Three days without a reply means. breaking up! Explain to sisâinâ
law.]
Jack hung up, looking at his chat with Alice; she hadnât replied to his messages. He felt anxious- Three days without a reply meant breaking up? He stared at his phone, looking serious.
â[Mr. Tremaine?]â An executive, noticing Jackâs seriousness, felt anxious. Jack snapped back, â[Continue.]â He left the office, grabbed his jacket, and left, looking serious His assistant followed.â[Mr. Tremaine, whatâs important?]â
â[Very important. Continue the meeting. Brief me later.]â
Jack entered the elevator; he couldnât delay any longer. He had to talk to Alice.
At the garage, Mrs. Wilson called.â[Your grandmother woke up. Come to the hospital. She wants to talk to you.]â
â[Okay.]â Jack turned his car. He texted Alice, â[Meet at the gym tonight. I know you donât have classes.]
Alice, finishing her game, saw the messageâtwo hours ago.
Wang Yang offered her water.â[Practice tonight?]â
â[Gym tonight.]â
The one across from school?]â
Chapter 106 Alice nodded; she needed to clear things up.
Wang Yang stood.â[Letâs go. I have a partâtime job at the gym.]â Alice knew he worked partâtime to earn money.
They went to the gym. Alice went to the boxing area and saw Wang Yang organizing equipment. She was surprised.
You work here?]â
It was Saw Aliceâs [Partâtime. I learned some boxing at another gym; the coach asked me to teach.]â He red boxing gloves. [That brand isnât cheap.
It a popular, soldâout model. Alice looked at the gloves; Jack had given them to her. Her expression was strained.â [Letâs spar.]â
She hadnât scheduled a session.
Wang Yang helped Alice stretch, then they sparred. He stopped. â[Youâre more skilled. How long have you been boxing?]â
â[About two months.]â
â[Youâre talented. This isnât easy; there are many techniques. Your teacher must be professional.]* Alice thought of Jack; heâd been her teacher. Her expression changed.â[Continue.] Her mind was filled with Jack.
Alice was distracted and took a punch.
â[Ouch!]â She fell, dizzy.
â[Captain, are you okay? Iâm sorry.] Wang Yang was shocked.
âItâs okay. I wasnât paying attention.]â It was her fault.
She stood; Wang Yang supported her.â[Rest.]â
â[Stop! What are you doing?]â Jack arrived, seeing Alice being held by a young man. His face darkened. He rushed over.
Alice looked at him, her head still spinning. Before she could explain, Jack punched Wang Yang, who fell against the railing.
Jack grabbed Wang Yangâs shirt, his eyes icy.â[Get lost!]â
Wang Yang wiped his nosebleed.â[Why should I leave?]â
Jack saw the boyâs look and knew he was interested in Alice. He punched him again. Alice stopped him.
â[Jack, stop! Why are you hitting him?]â
Jack turned to Alice.â[He was touching you!]â
â[He wasnât.]â
â[I saw it!]â Jackâs voice was angry.â[I thought you were ignoring me because I didnât reply, but it was because of this guy, right?]â
Alice was stunned.â[You think I cheated?] But youâre the one who cheated!â
