Chapter 89: Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Menu Jack stood in the dim study, his figure merging with the darkness. His anger ignited; someone had dared to prey on Alice.

The middle–aged man, finally remembering Jack’s identity, begged for forgiveness.“I was just being a jerk. I apologize. I didn’t mean to.” He hadn’t expected such powerful young men. Their actions weren’t those of ordinary people. The watch Jack wore was a rare collector’s item, priceless.

The man deeply regretted going out that night.

Jack stood up, a disdainful smile on his lips.“If apologies worked, we wouldn’t need police.” “Can I apologize to her personally?”

“You’re not worthy to appear before her. You have one option: confess to the police. You’ll find it’s the easiest path.”

Jack left the study, his anger radiating. He washed the blood from his hands, then quietly opened Alice’s bedroom door. He stopped, his anger too intense to be near her. He looked at sleeping Alice, his anger subsiding. He left quietly.

The next day, Alice yawned, having slept well. She found a blanket on the sofa; Jack was gone.

“Awake?” Jack emerged from the study, his eyes deep.

Alice coughed.“Yeah. You probably didn’t sleep well.” The sofa was too short for him. “Not much.” Jack, in a white shirt, said, “The pervert was arrested.”

“Really?” Alice was surprised.“So fast? Didn’t they say that area had a blind spot?” Did “he” do something last night?

Jack noticed her gaze and looked away.“He a was unlucky; he left trace.”

Alice sighed in relief.“Good. I wouldn’t dare walk in the complex at night otherwise.” There must have been other victims.

A call came.“Miss Alice, TikTok has a VIP event for the national finals today. Are attend?”

“Yes. I’ve sent the e–ticket. Come if you’re free.”

Alice hung up and looked at Jack.“TikTok sent me tickets to “Want to go?”

the finals.”

Alice smiled.“Of course! Why not?” She was a VIP guest.

Jack saw her smile; she wasn’t affected by last night’s incident.“Going alone?”

“No, I’m going with Chloe.” She left the apartment.

Near the entrance, she overheard people gossiping.“That pervert was finally caught. I heard he was badly beaten.”

“Good! I would have kicked him too. My granddaughter was harassed by him.“` Feeling good, Alice went to the competition venue. Traffic was heavy outside; there were many more fans than at the revival match. She saw team banners and photos of captains. She sawJohn 14.39 25.4%

Chapter 89 Menu Wilson, captain of the Ball team. He’d withdrawn from the finals in her past life, denying her a chance to compete against him.

She regretted that. Without him withdrawing, Landing wouldn’t have won.

“Goddess, I didn’t think you’d come.” Chloe, wearing Ball team apparel, was clearly a fan.

Alice smiled.“I didn’t plan on it, but TikTok invited me as a VIP guest; it’s a prime seat. I couldn’t miss it.” She’d brought Chloe along.

Chloe smiled.“Without you, Landing will lose.” Everyone knew Landing had only won the revival match because of Alice. She didn’t understand why the Windham family favored Chloe. In a competition, pity wouldn’t win the game.

Suddenly, fans screamed. Landing’s bus had arrived. Fans surrounded it. Luke was in front, followed by Chloe. He’d used her as a replacement. Alice was anticipating Chloe’s performance. Chloe, enjoying the attention, accepted gifts from fans. She deserved this; Alice didn’t.

“Captain Lu, won’t Alice be competing?”

“How confident are you without Alice?”

Luke’s face fell when asked about Alice. He’d win even without her. He’d prove Alice wrong for quitting.

“Roster changes are normal. Our team will try their best. Chloe can handle the gunner role; teamwork is important.”

“Captain Lu, your sister is a terrible player. Why let her compete?”

“She quit last time. She should be fired!”

Chloe smiled.“I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’ve trained hard, and I’ll try my best.” Who needs Alice? She would be serious this time.

“Alice’s here!”

Reporters and fans rushed to greet Alice, leaving Luke’s team alone. A fan approached Chloe.“Sorry, this gift was for Goddess Lemon.”

Chloe threw the gift back. She didn’t want it.

Alice was unexpectedly surrounded by reporters; she didn’t want to be interviewed at the entrance, especially before the match.

But she couldn’t escape.

“Miss Alice, you won’t be competing?”

“Without you, what are Landing’s chances?”

Alice looked at Luke and Chloe.“Their chances are zero.”
