Chapter 208
Mrs. Wilson’s gaze was complex. After a long silence, she said, “You know it’s impossible. Because of the accident… Nobody could forget the death of her parents.
Jack knelt before her.“I know,” he said softly. He hadn’t been able to control himself. He’d started with compassion, then it turned into love..
Mrs. Wilson sighed. She must be a good girl to make you
feel this way.
“Grandma, you don’t know how hard her life has been. Her brothers ignored and suppressed her.” Jack paused.“I thought I was rational.”
“Rationality prevents you from entering a relationship, but not from developing feelings.” Mrs. Wilson knew her grandson wouldn’t confess unless he truly cared. She grasped his intentions.“Little Qian, are you telling me this because you want to be with her?”
“Yes.” Jack had made up his mind last night. He was in love with Alice. He’d fight for her. That was why he’d returned.
Mrs.
Wilson playfully tapped him.“You’re trying to manipulate me again?” “Grandma, I don’t need you to do anything. I just need your support.”
Mrs. Wilson considered this.“The accident wasn’t your fault. It was an accident. But that child was unfortunate… I don’t understand why the car exploded. It wasn’t a serious crash.” If the girl’s parents hadn’t died…
Jack’s voice was hoarse.“I haven’t told her anything.” He wasn’t sure if he had the right, hesitant and struggling.
“If you like her, pursue her. Show her your sincerity. But tell her your identity and what happened.”
Jack nodded.“I will. Will you accept her then?*
“I don’t approve of you being together.”
Jack said nothing. Mrs. Wilson said, “You shouldn’t worry about my acceptance. You should worry if she will accept you after knowing everything.”
“I’ll figure it out.”
“Let go, Little Qian. It’s better for both of you. There are plenty of girls. Why her?” Mrs. Wilson was worried they would both get hurt.
Jack remained silent, finishing pruning the roses. There were many girls, but only one Alice.
He went to John Wilson’s room. John Wilson, startled, hid something, relaxing when he saw Jack. It’s you, Brother. Knock next time! I have privacy!”
“What are you hiding?” Jack saw the adult magazines.
He sat down. “What time is the party tonight?”
John Wilson was excited. “Brother, are you going?”
Jack’s gaze was serious. “You need to do something. Protect her at the party. Don’t let anyone bully er. Understand?”
“Got it! I’ll protect Sister–in–Law!” John Wilson thumped his chest, then whispered, “Brother,

Sister–in–law didn’t ask anything weird, like me quitting the competition, did she?” Jack patted John Wilson’s head.“She’s not like that.”
“Then why d

shouldn’t.”
“Don’t ask what you sl
John Wilson crossed his arms. “Brother, you’re asking me to protect Sister–in–Law. Be nice! Or I quit!”
Jack’s temple throbbed. He pushed John Wilson onto the bed.
“Ow! Brother, you’re murdering me! I’ll tell Grandma!”
Jack said darkly, “Who said to be nice?”
“You did! You’re begging me!” John Wilson felt empowered.
Jack dragged John Wilson to the gym. Screams echoed. The staff was used to it.
Soon, John Wilson emerged with a black eye and a limp. Mrs. Wilson and the grandmother were sitting on the sofa. John Wilson cried, “Grandma, Brother beat me!”
Mrs. Wilson said to Jack, “Why did you hit him again? No more!”
Jack said calmly, “I was checking if his skills had deteriorated.”
“You just wanted to beat me up!” John Wilson cried to his mother. “You saw it! Why didn’t you stop
him?”
Mrs. Wilson, wearing a face mask, was secretly pleased. Finally, someone to deal with the little
monster.
John Wilson yelled, “I can’t live in this house anymore!” He’d expose his brother’s identity at the
party.
Outside the party venue, Alice and Guoguo got out of the car, dressed in beautiful. gowns. Guoguo was excited. I’ve never been to a party like this before. So many famous gamers!”
“Get autographs. We can give them to our team members later,” Alice said. She signed in as “Cloud Battle Base.” She was there to find sponsors.
People greeted Alice. Daniel, from the Ball team, wanted to sign her, but hadn’t succeeded. Daniel approached. “You want autographs? People want “yours“!”
“These are for my team members. They’ve improved a lot.”
Daniel sighed. “You should join my team!”
“Different paths.” Alice had wanted to join Cloud Battle. She’d achieved it, and now was captain.
Daniel hesitated.“I heard about the Alices. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. The Alices got what they deserved.”
“Self–righteous. Alice, you’re getting out of hand.” Alice turned to see Chloe and Caleb. Caleb looked serious. “Alice,

I’m back,
need I
