Chapter 228
Jack stood in the doorway like a grim reaper. The TG PR team was stunned. The Yates family. heir was here?
The lead woman stammered, “Mr. Yates… Mr…”
Jack’s voice was cold as ice.“Get out.”
The woman tried to explain, “We’re here on business, to resolve…”
Jack threw a glass across the room.“Get out! Don’t make me say it again!” The woman, about to protest, was pulled away by her colleagues. Couldn’t they see how furious.
he was?
Alice, noticing Jack’s anger, said to the woman, “You’re the manager, right? I don’t care who backs. TG PR, but I won’t cooperate with any statements.”
The woman stared at Alice, surprised. “You don’t know he…”
Jack glared at the woman, silencing her with a warning look. The woman was practically dragged out. If they stayed any longer, they’d all be out of a job.
Alice watched them leave. “They’re probably Blake’s PR team. Apparently, they’re quite powerful, with the Yates family backing them.”
“Don’t worry about them; TG won’t take the job,” Jack said confidently, setting down the food. “Eat something.”
Alice looked at him cautiously.“You mean Jack?” She knew Jack, Jack, and Daniel were close maybe they could pull some strings..
I have an idea,” she said.
Jack pushed the chopsticks towards Alice. Go on.”
I’ll hire TG as “my” PR team. I’ll pay them, and Daniel won’t be in a difficult position. What do you think?”
Jack looked at her deeply.“Eat first.”
“Do you think it won’t work?”
“I’ll contact Daniel. Eat.”
Alice started eating, using her left hand due to her injured right arm. She struggled to pick up the food with her left hand.
*Clumsy. Now you know it’s inconvenient,” Jack said, taking the food container and feeding her. Alice paused.“Can you get a little lower? You look like
a little lower? You look like you’re feeding a pet.”
“Demanding, aren’t we?” Jack said, but knelt before her.
Alice ate a few bites and shook her head.“I’m full.”
“Rest.”
“But I saw the TG people are still outside,” Alice said, noticing they were still lingering. Jack calmly handed her a napkin. I’ll handle it. Rest.‘
“But…”

“Alice, try relying on me for once.” His gaze was intense, making Alice slightly uncomfortable. She coughed, averting her eyes. “But I can’t rely on you forever.”
“Why not?” His tone made her heart race. She looked at him suspiciously.“But you said…” He’d told her to make new friends at college and start a new life.
Jack looked at her, injured and vulnerable.“But I regret it.” He didn’t want to see her alone in that abandoned building, crying and begging for mercy.
Alice’s face flushed.“Are you… confessing?” She wasn’t stupid; she’d noticed the change in Jack’s attitude.
Jack tapped her forehead lightly.“I thought you were clueless.” He stood. “I just thought you were too young before, but can wait. He
He never wanted to see that scene again.
Alice blurted out, “You don’t have to wait.” Her face burned.
Jack smirked.“At least let me handle those people outside first.”
Watching him leave, Alice touched her face, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Was she dreaming?
Outside, Jack confronted the three. “TG PR, right?”
Earlier…”
The lead woman nodded respectfully.“Mr. Yates, I’m the manager. “You have two choices.” Jack’s expression was impassive.“First: resign, leave Cloud City.”
The three responded in unison, “We choose the second option.”
Jack glanced at the girl in the room, playing on her phone.“From today, you’re her PR team and personal assistants. Handle all her affairs.”
The woman was astonished. This was an upgrade? They’d heard rumors about Jack having a girlfriend, an accident they’d kept quiet. Was this her? She might become the future Mrs. Yates. A blessing in disguise?
Jack called Jack. Your aunt’s the wife of a prominent journalist. I need a favor.
“I know what you want. I’ve already contacted my aunt. Blake will be destroyed. But why bother? Taking down Blake is easy.”
“That’s not what Alice wants,” Jack replied. The Windham family had always forced things on Alice, things she didn’t want. He didn’t want to do that; he wanted her to live life on her terms, without interference.
Jack sighed.“Stop showing off. Blake was just whisked away by his manager in a helicopter. But after all that waiting, he’s had his lesson.” Jack looked at the night sky; he had a lot of work to do.
Blake was rushed to the hospital. The media swarmed the building, desperate for information. Noah, looking unwell, arrived just as Blake was wheeled out, his facial injuries clearly visible.
Noah was worried.“How did he get hurt so badly?”
Chloe sobbed. “I don’t know. When I got there, he was already like this.” She was genuinely crying; Blake’s disfigurement would ruin his career. Who in this industry didn’t depend on their looks? How could he act now? If Blake’s career was ruined, what would happen to her?
Noah was impatient. “Stop crying. Explain the live stream. I don’t believe you didn’t know.” He didn’t trust Chloe; she lied whenever Alice was involved.
Chloe stammered, “I really didn’t know. Four and Alice have always had conflicts. He wanted
