Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 241

Jack knew who was calling without looking at his phone. They spoke simultaneously.

“You take it,” Alice said.

Jack took the call and moved away. Alice returned to her room, opening her laptop. She quickly attempted to

access Chloe’s phone but found the implanted malware was gone.

What happened? Had Chloe discovered it?

When she tried to re-implant the malware, she encountered a firewall attack. Chloe’s phone had anti-hacking

software. Alice withdrew; she’d alerted Chloe. How had Chloe discovered it so quickly? This was a problem; Chloe

would be far more cautious.

Looking at her laptop, Alice suspected Chloe’s father was far more than he seemed. She increasingly suspected

the car accident had a hidden truth.

Meanwhile, Jack went downstairs and found Mrs. Yates still there. Mrs. Yates’s tone was strained. “I cto see

that girl. You've been doing a lot for her.” She'd thought Jack was just having a fling, but he was serious.

“Did you say anything to her?”

Mrs. Yates was surprised. “Say anything? | didn’t even see...” She remembered the girl calling Jack's name.“It

Jack nodded. “Yes. You didn’t even know who she was, and you went upstairs arm-in-arm with her?”

Mrs. Yates said, adding that she actually liked the girl.

“If you think she’s good, what's unsuitable?”

“Her background is too ordinary. You're the Yates heir; your wife must be from a suitable family. It'll be

Jack sighed. “Mom, she’s amazing. I'm pursuing her. She doesn’t know who | am.”

Mrs. Yates was frustrated. “I don’t approve. You haven't told her your identity, which means you. have

“That's not my concern,” Jack said firmly, unwilling to reveal Alice’s identity to his stepmother.“Once our

the Mo and Huo families. Jack opposed it, but she assumed he'd eventually agree, as these things usually went.

But he had a girlfriend!

“Maybe Daniel can marry the Mo heiress,” she suggested.

“She’s much older than Daniel.”

“A woman three years older brings wealth. Someone needs to keep Daniel in line.”

Daniel's shocked voice cut in.“Brother, are you my brother? Why would you do this to me?”

Daniel stormed over, looking like a jilted lover.

Alice hesitated, unsure whether to tell Jack.

A doctor emered for a routine check-up. Ms. Alice, you can be discharged today.” “Thank you, Doctor,” Alice was

ready, but Jack had refused.

Seeing her relieved expression, Jack realized she'd been cooped up.

After discharge, Alice wanted to return to her dorm. She'd missed classes and was worried about the gaming

team.

Jack took her to school. At the gate, he held her hand. Don’t go to the gym for now. Once you're fully recovered,

“What about my gym membership?

Jack tapped her forehead. “If anyone bothers you about the live stream, contact me.”

Alice smiled.“TH RO then.”

Jack watched her go, feeling a pang of reluctance.

Alice's injuries were still visible. Her dormmates noticed them; she'd deliberately worn a short-sleeved top.
