If Alice’s family would only hinder her new life, he would pave the way for her. He'd overcany obstacle.
Hearing his voice, Alice sniffed.“No need. | already handled it. Don’t provoke my brother; he’s not easy to deal
with.” Her brother was overbearing and she feared for Jack. He had power in the city, and Jack, with his lack of
connections, wouldn't stand a chance.
Jack’s eyes narrowed. “You think I'm” easy to deal with?” He was amused and slightly exasperated. For years,
others had feared him, never the other way around!
Seeing her worry, he swallowed the retort. Ethan might have seen him; revealing his identity. would be
disastrous. Before his identity was revealed, he could be her friend. Afterward, he would lose his place in her life.
He admitted he hesitated.
Alice, realizing she was still clinging to him, slowly released her grip, her expression uneasy. “You're okay. Let's
go home.”
She'd signed the severance agreement. Given his pride, Ethan wouldn't contact her again. That was exactly
what she wanted.
On the third floor of the hospital, Ethan watched from the hallway, seeing Alice in a tender embrace with a man
whose face was obscured.
He frowned.“That’s the nurse, right? He shouldn't be here!”
His subordinate reported, “Boss, everyone we sent is missing; we can’t contact them.”
“Impossible! A nurse? What kind of power he have?”
Luke said, “Brother, that man might have connections. He hid Alice in the apartment; it took Luke a long tto
find her.”
“Hmph. Even with connections, he’s just a nobody. Alice’s lost her mind. She'll regret this. Cut off all financial
support!”
“Brother, after we adopted Chloe, Alice stopped taking money from the family.
Ethan was surprised.“How did she survive?”
“Scholarships and streaming. She improved tically in the last few months and is now a popular streamer,

Ethan received a call. “Mr. Windham, we're from Harvard University’s admissions office. Are you Alice's
guardian? We'd like to discuss her application.”
Ethan coldly replied, “She won't go to Harvard University. She'll stay local.” He hung up.“Alice’s rebellious. She'd
cause trouble in Peking. It's better for her to stay local, where we can keep an eye on her.”
“Shouldn’t you ask her?”
“Why bother?” Luke felt uneasy but didn’t say anything.“Chloe’s grades are poor; she'll also stay
local.”

Back at the apartment, Alice felt uneasy.”l need to find a new place.”
“Worried your brother will cause trouble?” Jack understood her earlier suggestion to move.
Alice nodded.“My brother is stubborn.”
Gator chimed in, “Little Lemon, why not just go to Peking? Your scores are great; you should get used to life
there.” In Peking, Ethan was nothing.
Alice liked the idea, glancing at Jack for his opinion.
Jack’s expression was calm. “It’s a good idea.” She could escape the Winds control in Peking.
Alice smiled.“Let’s do it! Peking!” Then she hesitated, looking at Jack.“But we won't see each other often.”
Jack avoided her gaze. ‘Little Alice, focus on your studies.”
Alice's gaze fell.
Gator mediated, “All good things must end. | hope you have a wonderful life in Peking, free from the Winds’
shadow.”
Alice forced a smile. “You're right.” After all, Jack didn’t like her. She shouldn't have other expectations.
Feeling down, she said, “I'll start planning.” She practically fled.

“Peking means she’s free from the Winds. I'm happy for her.”
“That's right. Say goodbye properly. The closer you get, the more she’ll hurt.”
Jack was agitated. “I don’t need your reminder.” Gator had seen Jack’s frantic reaction when he learned Alice was

Alice barely slept. She was thrilled to go to Peking and leave the Winds behind, but she’d miss seeing Jack often.
The next morning, her teacher's call woke her.
*Alice, why did you reject Harvard University? Your scores are excellent!”
“What? | didn’t reject them! | never got a call!” She was wide awake now. Harvard University was her dream!
Impossible!
She spoke with her teacher and realized her family had intercepted the call! Probably Ethan or Luke.
She called Luke. He sounded delighted.
“Alice, you called!”
Alice was furious.”Did you reject Harvard University’s offer
offer on my behalf?”
“Alice, Brother did. He thinks it’s better for you to stay here; the Winds can protect you.” Luke explained
hastily.“Chloe is repeating a year; she won't interfere.”
Alice yelled, “Who gave you the right to decide for me?!”
