Chapter 219
Alice was furious. Her voice was cold. “Are you sure you want me to act? Worried I’ll ruin your drama?”
“It’s fine. You’re my sister. I can tolerate bad acting. But I can’t tolerate disobedience,” Caleb said, placing the script in front of her. “Chloe is the lead. You’re the white lotus supporting character.” “She should play the white lotus. She’s a actress, Alice retorted.

“Jealous? Call me Brother, and I’ll make you the lead. Chloe can be the supporting character. Then you can’t say I’m biased.”
Alice saw his devious smile.“If Brother finds out, he’ll say you’re ungrateful. Chloe helped the family.”
“Brother cares about appearances. A driver’s daughter is nothing compared to you.” “Aren’t you contradicting yourself?” Alice remembered Caleb’s kindness towards Chloe.
“Alice, you think I favored Chloe, right? She saved. my life.”
Chloe had saved Caleb? Alice didn’t know about this. Caleb had been in fights, often surrounded by thugs. Once, he’d been severely injured, hiding in an alley. Alice had gone for help, encountering Chloe. After Alice spoke to Chloe, the thugs arrived and recognized her. To protect Caleb, Alice ran in the opposite direction, drawing them away. She’d been caught and almost killed, saved only by patrolling police. But after Caleb woke up, he became colder towards. Alice and kinder to Chloe. Was this why?
Caleb gritted his teeth. Alice, you don’t remember. I do.” He’d almost died, and Alice had abandoned him. Chloe had saved him. Chloe said Alice had run away in fear. From then on, Caleb resented Alice, showering Chloe with affection, ignoring Alice, enjoying seeing her ostracized. It made him feel better.
Alice’s gaze was steady. “When did Chloe save you?”
“That time…”
Caleb’s words were cut short by a knock. His agent was at the door.
Caleb adjusted his demeanor.“I don’t believe you’ve forgotten. You’re playing innocent again.”
“I really don’t remember.”
“Stop it. You went out to buy cake, causing the accident that killed Mom and Dad. You lived, but forgot everything, preventing us from finding the real culprit. There was someone else in the car. But you forgot, playing the victim.”
Alice stood up
abruptly. “I didn’t
forget! I genuinely
don’t
remember.”
“You say we’re biased. You killed Mom and Dad, making our lives miserable. We didn’t kick you out! What right do you have to accuse us?”
Caleb left angrily. He didn’t believe Alice had forgotten. She just didn’t want to admit her fault.
Alice recalled Caleb’s words. Nobody had ever told her this. Was there someone else in the car? She couldn’t remember the accident.
She called Luke.
“Alice, you called! What’s up?” Luke sounded surprised.

Alice hesitated.“Was the real culprit in the accident never found?”
“Why ask? Did you remember something?”
“No. But Caleb said there’s more to the story.”
Silence. This is too complex for a phone call. Come to the hospital.”
“Can’t you tell me now?” Alice didn’t want to go.
Luke pleaded, “It’s important. Come. Don’t you want to see me? Cough, cough.” She heard him coughing violently, nurses and doctors talking.
“Mr. Luke, eat properly.
eat properly. If this continues, you’ll need your stomach removed.” Alice wasn’t sure how to feel. He was much
much sicker than
in in her past life. The secretary took the phone.“Ms. Alice, Mr. Luke needs treatment. Can you come?” Alice hesitated.“I’ll see.” She hung up, seeing the news about the slap–it was clarified as a rehearsal
Feeling bad, she left the base through a side door, going to the gym.
She saw a familiar figure.“Why are you here?”
Jack, in gray sportswear, smiled. “Checking if you’ve been slacking.” He held out his hand.“Come up.”
Alice, calmer now, got onto the boxing ring. She fought hard, but Jack dodged every attack. She collapsed, exhausted. “You’re a liar. You’re not an amateur.”
Jack handed her

Alice checked the time. Jack asked, “Where are you going? You’ve checked the time several times.
“I have a meeting.”
Jack’s hand paused. Male or female?”
“Male.” Alice went to change.
Jack frowned. A male?
Alice came out. Jack waited.“Men are efficient.”
“I’ll drive you.”
Alice didn’t explain.“Okay.”
Jack asked, “Dating someone?”
Alice laughed.“No. I’m going to the hospital.”
Jack narrowed his eyes. “To see Luke?”
“I need to ask him something. Caleb said there’s more to the accident. There was someone else in the car. I want to know who.”
Jack slammed on the brakes!
