charade. He wanted her to drop the charges.
Alice smirked.“l won't press charges.”
Caleb smiled, pleased. He knew she was smart enough to say the right things.. Alice shoved Caleb away.
“Because | didn’t press charges. Maple pressed charges against Luke for stealing trade secrets.”
Caleb's smile faded. Alice was uncooperative. She crushed the confetti canister and coldly glared at the fans
before walking away.
Caleb dismissed the fans and chased after Alice.”Stop! | said you could go!” His face was grim.“Chloe

“That's my line. The public doesn’t know Brother was involved. If exposed, your Best Actor. nomination is
ruined.” Alice hit a nerve by mentioning his nomination. Caleb's face turned livid.“Alice, you're threatening me?
You've grown rebellious.” Alice stood her ground.“I’'m doing this for your own good. Don’t get involved.”
“I want our family to reconcile. Brother was wrong, and I'll make him apologize. Tellwhat you
want.”

Alice stopped, annoyed. She turned to Caleb, sarcastic.“Since childhood, you've only used violence. What else
can you do?”
“Alice, say
that again!” Caleb's face darkened, grabbing her wrist.
Alice easily broke free. She was stronger than him. He was used to Alice being obedient and fearful.
Alice said coldly, “You can’t beatanymore.” She wouldn't be a punching bag. Caleb said maliciously, “You
don’t care if your friends get hurt?”
“Mr. Caleb, did you forget the scripts for your and Chloe’s names, right?”

Caleb narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean? The scripts were a collaborative effort.”
“That's a lie. If | show everyone our chat logs and call recordings, your ‘talented actor’ image will be ruined.”
“Alice, you dare!”
Alice said calmly, “If you hurt my friends, try it.” She sneered, leaving the campus. She was relieved; Caleb
clearly cared about the Best Actor award.
She went to the gym to improve her skills. He'd try to get back at her. This time, she wouldn't compromise.

Days later, Alice went to the base and found a film crew. Caleb, in sunglasses, was sitting under a parasol. He
was trying to force her to comply. He was relentless,
Caleb stood up.“My dear sister, you're finally here! Want to act? | can get you a role.”
“No. Why are you filming here?”
“The school approved it. A youth campus about Cloud Battle.” He acted as if their argument never

Chloe grabbed Alice’s hand. “Sister Alice, | know you're still angry...”
“Get away from me!” Alice pushed Chloe; she fell.
People looked over. Chloe was about to accuse Alice, but Caleb pulled her up, smiling.“You fell? Alice didn’t push
you, right?”
Chloe, intimidated, nodded.“I tripped.”
“That's right.” Caleb smiled at Alice. I'm on your side. Stop saying I'm biased.” Alice found this ridiculous. She
slapped Chloe. Chloe screamed, “What are you doing?” “I’m hitting you. Do | need to pick a good day?”
Alice went inside, refusing to cooperate. Caleb explained to the fans that it was a rehearsal.
Chloe whined to Caleb ,“Brother, my face. is bruised. | can’t film today. “I know. Rest today. Film tomorrow,”
Caleb said gently. “If anyone asks, you know what to say? “I know.”
“Good girl. Alice should be more obedient. We need to teach her a lesson,” Caleb said coldly. Chloe said,
“Brother, tell them we were rehearsing. If they discover Alice isn’t in it, give her a role. | can get revenge then.”
“Good idea.”
“But she might refuse.”
Caleb said domineeringly, “She won't.”
