Chapter 209
Alice found her brother’s tone amusing. They still thought they controlled her life?
Alice raised an eyebrow. “Who are you?”
I’m your brother. You’ve forgotten how I disciplined you?” Caleb’s anger flared at Alice’s defiance. “No wonder the family’s a mess. Look what you’ve done!” Ethan’s firewall issues, Luke’s failed bid, and Luke’s arrest–all connected to Alice.
Alice chuckled. “None of that involves me.”
“Don’t deny it! Did you hack Ethan’s company?”
“My brother’s company was hacked. He begged me to fix it.”
Caleb’s expression faltered. This was different from Chloe’s story. He’d come straight from the airport, intent 011 confronting Alice, after Chloe told him everything.
Chloe quickly explained, “Brother, I meant that Sister Alice attacked Brother’s system to force him. She’s amazing now! Brother begged her for help.”
Caleb looked at Alice, surprised by her competence. But her cold expression angered him.“Brother worked hard to build that company. As a Alice, you should help him, not make him beg you!”
Chloe added, “She took two million from Brother.”
Caleb was enraged.“Alice, you have no conscience! Taking that much money from your brother!”
Alice shrugged.“What else? I’m not a charity.”
“Alice, how did you become like this?” Caleb grabbed her wrist, furious.“Come with me to the hospital. Apologize to Luke.”
Alice easily pushed Caleb away, startling him. Her strength had increased significantly
She wiped her hand with disgust.“Don’t touch me.”
“Alice,
Luke’s
Luke’s in the hospital because of you! You won’t even visit him?”
“I didn’t make him hurt himself. Stop guilt–tripping me.” She knew Luke’s self–harm was a tactic to force her to compromise. She’d almost fallen for it, until Jack helped her regain her composure. Luke knew exactly how to manipulate her. He always tried to smooth things over with Chloe, leaving Alice to suffer. Even her pre–college struggles were dismissed with a simple apology.

Caleb’s were red with anger.’Alice, you’re heartless! I’ll ask one last time: Will you come to the hospital?”
“No.”
“If you don’t, I’ll never forgive you! I’ll never speak to you again!” He thought she feared his anger

Alice laughed.“Wonderful! Keep your word.” She walked away.

by everything that happened while he was gone. Alice had become increasingly unreasonable. Chloe sighed. “Brother, it’s my fault. Sister Alice dislikes me.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“But Sister Alice wants to sever ties with the family. Luke and the other brother feel sorry. Luke especially dislikes me now, thinking I’m the reason she ran away.”
Caleb softened.“Don’t blame Luke. He always spoiled Alice. But don’t worry. I won’t let you
suffer.”
“Brother, I’ll listen to you.” Chloe wanted to pursue her own career in entertainment.
“I’ll arrange it. I’ll make you a top star.”
“Really? My friend, Max, loves your acting. Can I get an autograph and a photo?”
“Of course.”
“Let’s go. Should you try to convince Sister Alice?”
Caleb’s expression turned cold.“No.” Ignoring Alice for a while usually worked. He’d let her stew in her own juices.
Alice grabbed something to eat. Daniel approached.“Are you okay? Your brothers are all the same! You’re their real sister!” He was furious at their behavior.
Alice smirked. “They’ve always been this way.”
“No wonder you want to cut ties. I’d blow them all up. They hadn’t treated her like a sister or even a human being.
Alice changed the subject. Our sponsors pulled out. I need new ones. Can you help?” “No problem. Come with me.” Daniel led her to a group of well–dressed businessmen.
Daniel introduced Alice. She briefly explained Cloud Battle’s situation and plans for next year’s competition, mentioning sponsorships.
One manager said, “We’re excited about Cloud Battle next year. Sponsorship shouldn’t be a problem.”
Another said, “We can sponsor you too. Here’s my card.”
Alice felt relieved.
“If you want to sponsor Cloud Battle, think carefully. She rejected our family’s sponsorship, let. alone yours.”
Max, in a designer dress, approached, with Chloe and Caleb. Chloe was watching with malicious
intent.
Alice’s expression turned cold.“Max, do you want me to expose your money laundering scheme?”
Caleb frowned.“Watch your words! The Mos are not someone you can offend! Apologize!”
Alice sneered.“Who are you?”
Caleb raised his voice. “Alice, don’t make me force you! Apologize!”
