Chapter 187
Alice, hearing the silence on the other end, scoffed.“[I was going to apologize if you took the blame, but you didn’t give me the chance! Tak tsk! The sarcasm was dripping. Luke’s father was enraged.“[Alice, you’re doing this to drive a wedge between us! What do you gain?]”
“I’m doing this for your own good! Otherwise, you three will go to jail together. A close–knit family, united in prison.]”
“[As if.]”
Alice continued her performance.“[Mr. Windham, I let you choose one person to take the blame. Isn’t that for your own good?]”
“[If Sixth
Brother goes to jail, his career is ruined! Are you heartless?]” “[You’re selfish! You should take the blame! You preach about family but let your brother take the fall! Selfish!]”
Alice covered her mouth, laughing. Jack watched; she was like a sly fox. Luke’s father’s anger flared.“[Alice, don’t gloat. Even if Sixth Brother takes the blame, you’ll lose without a lawyer. We’ll see!]”
“[You called to say this?]”
“[Yes. Face reality. Drop the charges before it gets worse.]”
“[See you in court!]”
Alice hung up.“[See? I was right. He won’t take responsibility.]”
Jack spoke.“[Is it Luke? He only participated; he didn’t take the photos.]* “[Little Lemon, are you letting them off too easily, especially that toxic_lotus?]” Alice smiled.“[I’m slowly tearing apart their hypocritical family façade, making Chloe lose everything, and the Windhams go bankrupt because of her.]”
She wanted to see if their bond would survive. This was her retribution for her past suffering.
Garrett clapped.“[Well done. I want to see their faces when they realize Chloe’s true nature.]*
Alice said, “[But we still have the lawsuit.]”
“[Little Lemon, my lawyer is handling it. Don’t worry.]”
Alice relaxed. She stood.“[If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.]*
Passing Jack, she glanced at his phone. He pressed his hand on it, meeting her gaze.
Alice coughed and turned away. He was alert.
Jack raised an eyebrow; she was trying to sneak a peek?
After Alice left, Jack’s expression turned cold.“[Did your cousin cause the lawyer issue?]”
“[I’ll check. If it’s him, I’ll break his legs!]” Garrett suspected Garrett Yates.
Jack’s phone buzzed. He stood.“[Find out and solve it.]”
“[Where are you going?]”

“[To the gym.]”

Jack left without looking back. Garrett sighed; he was playing mother hen.
Alice went to the gym. After changing, she went to the weight area to build muscle; her trainer always said her physical condition was poor.
A young man approached.“[First time here? Let me show you.]”
Alice, after watching his demonstration, thanked him politely.
“[You’re a Cloud University student?]”
Alice gave a perfunctory response; the man’s eyes lit up.“[A high–achiever! I love girls like you.]”
lice ignored him. He mumbled,“[My family was poor; I started a business and got lucky; my company went public. But I regret not studying more. I like smart girls.]” Alice moved to another machine; he followed.“[Beautiful, let’s exchange contact info. I’m single and well–off; I want a highly educated wife.]”
Alice said impatiently, “[No. Don’t bother me.]”
“[That’s not bothering you. You can’t even afford a trainer; your family must be poor. Marry me; your son will inherit millions.]”
He stood behind her.“[Let me show you.]”
Alice grabbed his hand and twisted it. He yelled, “[Let go!]”
Alice stared at him coldly.“[Did you look in the mirror this morning? Even ten years of gold mining wouldn’t produce a fool like you! Incel!]”
She released him, wiping her hand on her pants.
He mumbled, “[Pretending to be pure. College girls are all gold diggers! I’ve slept with many like you; a little money, and they’re naked.]”
Alice threw water on him.“[Rinse your mouth; it’s disgusting.]”
“[I like your personality.50,000 a month? Enough?]”
Alice was losing patience. She checked the gym’s cameras; she needed a blind spot. Her trainer said not to fight unless provoked.
She walked towards the emergency exit, a blind spot. He followed.“[100,000 if you’re a virgin.]” Alice beckoned. He was excited.“[You like this? Should’ve said so!]”
Alice punched him. She’d never met such a disgusting man. She grabbed a mop bucket and poured water over his head.
“[Your mouth is foul; it needed washing.]”
“[I’ll call the police! I lost a tooth!]”
Alice clapped.“[Go ahead. I’ll tell them you harassed me; it was self–defense. The cameras have it all. Who do
think they’ll believe?]” you

He wailed, “[I won’t let you go! My lawyers will put you in jail! You’ll see how powerful the rich are!]”
Alice laughed. Was he acting?

“[I’ve seen girls like you. College students pretending to be pure, gold–digging. Money, and their clothes come off.]”

The other patrons whispered. In this day and age, women were always at a disadvantage in such
situations.

Jack’s face turned cold. He punched the man, fast and hard.
