We did nothing wrong; why
apologize?”
Chloe's eyes gleamed with malice.“Alice, you're naive. Even if Garrett Yates attacked first, if the Yates family
acts, your boyfriend will lose his job. That's how the Yates family operate.
Understand?”
Andrew Yates scoffed.“Miss Chloe, that’s vicious. The Yates family aren't like that. Are you to them? Stop
spreading lies.”

“Of course I'm close to them. People like you wouldn't understand how easily the wealthy crush ordinary people-
like squishing an ant.” Chloe was smug, acting like she was already part of the Yates family.
Andrew Yates was speechless. This was absurd! He watched her leave, muttering to Alice, “Alice, do all your
family members talk like that?”

“Chloe is usually more subtle. Being with Garrett Yates has clearly inflated her ego, revealing her true colors.”
Alice looked at Jack, worried. “I'll hire a lawyer; you won't have to apologize.” Jack had acted to protect her; she
couldn't abandon him.
Jack, seeing her worry, softened.“Don’t worry. It’s a minor issue.”
Andrew Yates added, “Alice, don’t worry. I'm here. That kid won't cause trouble.” Alice remembered Andrew Yates
was wealthy.
She was downcast.“It’s all because of me. If it weren't for me...”
Jack lightly tapped her forehead. She looked at him questioningly.
Jack’s eyes were deep.“Your words sounded like something Chloe would say. | stopped you before you started
acting like her.”
“But...”
“Garrett Yates was attacking me, not you.” Jack had seen her push him aside, trying to take the hit herself. His
voice was low.“Can your little body handle that? Don’t be reckless next time.”
“Alice, Jack would be fine, but you would have been hurt. It’s okay for a man to be hurt.”
Alice felt down.

Alice nodded and entered the apartment. Jack and Andrew Yates went to the next room. Jack said coldly, “What's
wrong with the Yates family”
“I didn’t expect that. If Luke hadn't interrupted, I'd have slapped Garrett Yates. I'd have taught him a lesson.”
“Remember to talk to your cousin at the hospital tomorrow.” Jack's eyes were dark; Alice’s mood had been
affected.
Andrew Yates nodded reluctantly. Who would have expected this?
lice felt restless. The Garrett Yates incident wouldn't end easily. She couldn't let Jack bear the brunt of the Yates
family’s wrath.

Her phone rang; it was Noah. She hesitated before answering.“Hello, Second Brother.” “Alice, | know about
Garrett Yates. It's troublesome, but Luke and | will handle it. Stay out of it. Chome. End things with that
doctor.”
Alice's lips tightened at his suggestion to abandon Jack.“This is because of me. | won’t run away.” She wouldn't
betray Jack.
“Alice, don’t be stubborn. Chome. | promise you'll be safe.”
“If that’s all, goodbye.” She hung up. She wouldn't obey.
Noah sighed. Luke asked, “Did she agree?”
“No.”

“Is Alice crazy? She can’t handle this alone. The Yates family will crush her.” Noah knew the seriousness of the
situation.“Get the best doctor and nurses for Garrett Yates. Keep him happy; he might be easier to deal with
then.” If reconciliation failed, they'd need Big Brother's help.
Alice woke up with dark circles. She hadn't slept well, worrying about Garrett Yates. She opened her phone to a
message from her lawyer: [Bring a gift to the hospital. Try to reconcile with them.]
She felt irritated. If she had to apologize, she would; Jack shouldn't have to. But she needed to go to school.
She went to the next apartment; breakfast was ready. Jack was in his study; Andrew Yates was probably still
asleep. Remembering last night's failed confession, she left a note and left without disturbing Jack.
She went to school. Red banners were displayed, celebrating high school graduation rates. Another banner read:
[Congratulations to XX, City’s Top Scorer!] The student's nwas hidden.
When Alice arrived, everyone discussed the results. After the exam, she'd beca gaming

a high achiever. She was an inspiration.
Chloe approached.“Goddess, how did you do? | heard the top scorer is in our class. Is it you?” A classmate
sneered.“It’s not Alice. | heard she failed her writing exam; she barely passed.”
Alice said coldly, “I still scored higher than you.”
Chloe, impeccably dressed, entered.“Alice, | know you're upset retake the exam, I'll accompany you.”

Alice was already upset about Garrett Yates; Chloe
was looking for trouble.
“You're laughable. Your score is less than half of mine. Even if | answered randomly, I'd still score higher!”
