Chapter 323 Aliceâs face was flushed. His message: [I donât agree to the breakup. Iâll keep waiting.]
Alice exited the chat, looking out the window. Her hardâwon peace was shattered. Sheâd thought Huo Xiucheng had hidden his identity and wasnât sincere. But heâd publicly denied the engagement with Julia. Alice saw Julia burst into tears.
âLana Parker said, âAlice, whatâs going on between you and your boyfriend... exâboyfriend?â
âItâs complicated.â
âBut I think he still likes you. You didnât see the way he looked at you- like a lost puppy, begging for your attention.â Lana Parker thought that if it were her, she couldnât stay mad at such a handsome man.
Aliceâs face flushed. âDonât talk nonsense. I havenât decided what to do.â Jack and his mother had clarified the engagement rumor. Sheâd been tricked by Julia. But she was still angry about Jack hiding his identity; it felt like a betrayal.
Lana Parker linked arms with Alice.âIgnore him for a while. Let him feel the pain of longing. Teach him a lesson.â
âYouâre right. I was always chasing him.â This time, Alice wanted him to pursue her. âBesides, there are plenty of good guys.
Many have asked if youâre single. Iâll spread the word; youâll have plenty of suitors. Donât put all your eggs in one basket.â
Alice felt better.âYouâre right.â She wasnât sure about her feelings, but she had a lot to do and couldnât let one man derail her.
Wang Yang, in the passenger seat, glanced at the rearview mirror, a plan forming. After Aliceâs car left, Jack looked away. Julia said stubbornly, âYou heard everything I said.â
⺠Jack checked his phone; Alice hadnât replied. He was annoyed.âI gave you enough face. If it werenât for you stealing my phone to call Alice, the Garcia family would be in trouble,â âBut Iâve known you longer than she has! Why? What does Alice have that I donât?â Julia lost her, composure.
Jackâs gaze was cold.âBecause I like Alice. No one can compare to the woman I love.â It was that simple.
Jack got into his car and left. Julia sat on the ground and cried. She didnât understand what Alice had that she didnât. She was the top socialite in Washington; she was superior in looks, status, and ability!
Alice returned to the dorm and looked at Jackâs messages. Heâd been messaging her, but she hadnât replied. It was annoying.
The next day, Alice saw the leader. She said impassively, âSomething?â
*Your attitude towards the Garcia family was too strong. Theyâve been sponsors for years.â
âDidnât you see them harassing my team members?â
The leader hesitated. âItâs always been like that. Nothing happened before; there were many people around.â
âChapter 323.
Alice said coldly, âI donât care what happened before. Iâm the captain now, and I wonât let my team) members attend those sleazy dinners!â
âAlice, you have to follow instructions, not do things your way!â
âThe previous captain was obedient, laundering money for the Garcia family. Were you involved?â
The leaderâs face changed.âNonsense! I wasnât involved! That was Zhang Senâs personal action.â Alice said nothing, but her gaze was intense. The leader stood up.âYou canât offend the Garcia family. How will we work together in the future?â
âI have dirt on the Garcia family; they wonât refuse to cooperate. Even if they withdraw funding, it wonât affect the team.â
The leader left. Lana Parker asked, âDid the leader scold you? Everyone saw what happened last night. A senior said it was even worse before.â
Alice looked around.âI donât care what happened before. As long as Iâm captain, I wonât let you attend those dinners.â
Lana Parker applauded.âGreat! Captain, youâre awesome!â
âAlso, Wang Yang is the viceâcaptain. Heâll lead training when Iâm not around.â Alice noticed Wang Yangâs skills were the best after her.
Wang Yang smiled.âLetâs work hard for the national championship next year!â Alice felt surge of determination. She would win the championship herself. Alice trained for a while, then left. Wang Yang followed her.âYou donât have classes thi afternoon? Going to the gym?â
âNo, I have something to do.â Alice was going to a meeting at Maple Leaf. Wang Yang hesitated. âLetâs gym later.â
go to the âOkay, weâll arrange it.â Alice left, not thinking about whether Wang Yang was the her past life. She liked Jack.
At the school gate, Alice saw Mary and Ethan getting out of a car.
person fromâ
Mary said, âWhat a coincidence.â Alice noticed Mary wasnât doing well. She smiled. âYes, it is.ââIâll go to the dorm.â
Ethan held a dessert box. âTake this to the dorm.â
Mary coldly refused. âIâm dieting. No sweets.â
Ethan stood there awkwardly.
Alice watched, smirk оп her face. She saw Ethan approaching.âSomething?â
âThis dessert, you eat it. I donât like sweets.â
Alice smirked.âYou think Iâm a trash can?â
Itâs a limitedâedition cake. You used to ask me to buy it for you.â Ethan showed her the cake.
Alice laughed, took the cake, and slapped Ethan in the face.
