Alice smirked, trying to leave. Luke grabbed her arm.“Even if you get drunk, I'll take Don’t worry.”

Alice felt pain in her wrist. She lowered her eyes.“So, | should drink?” This is Luke released her, relieved. Alice,
that’s right. Apologize and explain. Let's end this.” Alice approached the table, looking at the beer. A middle-
aged man looked at her.“Captain Lu’s sister is pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Girls mature early nowadays. She probably does.” Luke felt uncomfortable; she was his sister. But he couldn't
stop them; he was here to apologize. He'd protect her; she wouldn't be wronged. Alice took a glass and threw
beer at the two “Alice, what are you doing?!” Luke's face turned pale. He grabbed her.“Are you crazy?
Apologize!”

mouths out.”
“This “is” my apology.” Alice smirked.“Satisfied?” He forced her to do things she didn’t want to do; he never
listened. This was her way of making him understand.
Luke, enraged, slapped her.“You've gone too far! Apologize!”
Alice, her cheek stinging, grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it on Luke's head. Blood flowed.
He groaned, “Alice, you dare...”

Alice pushed him away.“Nothing | won't do.” She looked coldly at the investors. They moved away, fearing she'd
throw more bottles.
Alice said coldly, “I quit Landing Team. He's using my nto secure investments. Don’t be fooled. | won't
compete for the Windham family.” She left the room.
“Alice, stop!” Luke, bleeding, chased after her.
Alice saw Jack approaching. His gaze was concerned.“Why are you on the second floor? Why didn’t you tell me?”
She disappeared in a flash. Jack was frantic.
Alice’s face was grim.“l was dragged here.”
Jack, seeing Luke, shielded Alice, saying coldly, “Stay back.”

Jack pushed Luke aside; Luke almost fell. Luke yelled, “Alice, do you want to ruin me? What have | done to you?!”
Alice replied coldly, “You don’t listen; don’t blme.” He thought she was still a pushover; she wouldn't let him
get away with it this time.
Luke leaned against the wall.“You just had to apologize to the investors! You caused this mess, and you should
fix it. You ruined everything. Are you afraid I'll never forgive you?”
“That would be wonderful. | hope you mean it.”
Alice left. Jack looked at Luke.“Forcing your young sister to apologize to those middle-aged men by drinking with
them. You have no conscience?”
Luke looked uncomfortable.“l would protect her.” She'd caused this; he wasn’t wrong.
Jack restrained his anger.“There won't be a next time.”

He followed Alice downstairs. He was both angry and worried.“Are you okay?” Alice shook her head. “I threw beer
on them and cracked Luke’s head open.”
“Good job.”
As they walked, a drunk man stumbled towards them. Jack pulled Alice close. Alice looked up at him.“Why are
you so good to me?”
Jack’s heart softened, but he said coldly, “I helped you out of spite. | couldnt stand your brothers’ bias.”
Alice looked down, her gaze troubled. His words were calm, even gentle, but a clear rejection. She said, “I need
to use the restroom.”
She left; Jack followed, his eyes revealing years of hidden pain. He stopped, frustrated, asking for a cigarette.
Andrew Yates approached with two drinks.“The Windham family are terrible people, making her apologize by
drinking with those men!”
Jack drank his wine, his
eyes
dark.

“Keep your distance from Alice. Don’t be too nice to her.”
“Aren’t you being nice to her too?” Jack was holding a cigarette, his brow furrowed. Andrew Yates said, “It's
different. Anyone would defend her after what the Windham family did.” Jack lowered his eyes.“Sthings are
uncontrollable.”
“True.” Andrew Yates looked at him meaningfully. When had he seen Jack this agitated? Only before their
company’s IPO, when they'd faced betrayal. He rarely saw Jack at a loss. He sensed that Alice meant something
different to Jack now.
Alice sat in the restroom, rubbing her face. She'd been brave, but now she was feeling the
consequences.
A knock came; she left the stall. A surprised voice said, “Alice, where were you?” It was Chloe. Alice ignored her.
Chloe studied her.“You're at a bar, getting close to other men. Second Brother will be angry.”

Alice rolled her eyes and left. Chloe followed. “Alice, I'm worried. Sixth Brother's here too. The finals loss means
investors are withdrawing.”
Alice smirked.“They’re just bad.”
Chloe looked aggrieved; Garrett Yates spoke up.“Alice, be nice. If you keep bullying my girlfriend, I'll deal with
you.” He'd initially been interested in Alice, but she'd humiliated him. He'd switched to Chloe, planning to show
Alice how much better she had it.
Alice was sarcastic.“If feigning pity is bullying, jails would be full.”
“That's because you didn’t compete! Chloe replaced you!”
Alice sneered.“Chloe played so badly; she had the nerve to replace someone! She has such a thick. face.”
Chloe was enraged. Luke, looking grim, appeared. “At least Chloe tried for the Windham family, What have you
done?”
