Chapter 261
Alice, after her cunting reDaniels to Chloe, turned and left.

Noah stepped forward. “Alice, let us drive you back to school. It’s late, and f’ mured on your going alone.”
“No, I’ll take a taxi,” Alice remained distant She’d agreed to womele, e fontere Wire uncovering the truth, she wouldn’t see them again.
Alice left.
Chloe, watching her go, gritted her teeth ‘Just you wait. The last car accident didn’t lie, bot
kill next time…] Turning to Ethan, she adopted a vulnerable expression “Big Brother, I’m dat Alice’s coming back, but something feels wrong”
Ethan pondered. “What feels wrong?”
“Big Brother, I’m not accusing Alice, but she was so angry, and now she’s suddenly reconciled and dropping the charges against Fourth and Sixth Brother?
“You’re overthinking it. She’s backing down because of Mom and Dad’s inheritance. She docuit & want it to fall into your hands. I won’t give it to her until I’m sure. Ethan was certain that was her motivation. He knew she was after the inheritance; he’d deal with it later.
Seeing Ethan’s acceptance of Alice’s return, Chloe felt uneasy. She’d been living the high life, almost feeling like a true Windham heiress. But Alice’s return was unsettling, she sensed something bad was coming.
Chloe’s eyes darkened. She couldn’t sit idly by; Alice wouldn’t spare her. She needed a plan. She’d already benefited from the charity foundation; she’d get one more
Alice arrived back at school. Remembering Chloe’s furious expression, she thought, “This is just the beginning. After the charity auction, once I have proof of Chloe’s crimes, it’s game over.” Chloe had already embezzled millions from the foundation in just a few days. No wonder she was decked out in designer clothes. Chloe wouldn’t keep that much money; it would go to her father.
Alice, calming herself, didn’t trust any of her brothers. They were supporting her because Chloe. had encroached on their interests. This cooperation was temporary.
Back in her dorm, she received a message from Jackson:[“I’m back from my trip. Free tomorrow?*]
Alice checked her schedule.[Classes all day tomorrow. Gym tonight?“] She hadn’t been to the gym since he’d left. She was almost fully recovered and wanted to resume boxing training, to become stronger.
Jackson glanced at gift box beside him. Fine, he’d give it to her tomorrow. Garrett leaned out from the passenger seat. Suggest a

“She wants to go to the gym. I’ll spar with her.”
“Couples go on dates, you two are always at the gym.”
Jackson’s voice was low. “I’ll do anything she wants.”
“The Chens interfering with the press conference… what are you going to do?”

“She wouldn’t like me making decisions for her; that’s no different from her brothers. El respect her wishes.”
He touched the gift box; his gaze softened. Whatever Alice decided, he world spent her
The next day, after class, Alice chose a short skirt while changing in her dorm. The hem barely covered the scars from the car accident.
Lana Parker smiled.“Captain, going on a date? Wearing a skire?”
“How’s this skirt?”
“Beautiful. Your legs are so long and straight. I’m envious She quickly changed the subsect, realizing something.
Alice went downstairs, noticing spilled takeout on the stairs, making the floor slippery. She messaged Lana Parker:[“The stairs are dangerous. Warn your roommates not to use them]
Lana Parker looked at the photo, then at their roommate.“If you’re going out, don’t use these stairs. Alice says someone made a mess and didn’t clean it up.
The roommate, quiet as always, simply replied, “Thank you.”
Alice went to the gym, heading straight for the boxing area without changing Jackson was leaning against a boxing ring, seemingly texting.
She snuck up behind him, planning a surprise attack. But her hand barely touched his eyes before he’d pinned her down; his reflexes were incredible.
Alice stared.“It’s me.”
Jackson smiled, seating her on the edge of the ring, his hands on either side of her, leaning down. Your sneak attack needs work.”
“It’s not slow; your reflexes are too fast! You’re so alert!” She was surprised by his hidden skills. Their eyes met. Alice’s heart pounded. His gaze was dark and intense. He gently brushed her lips. She responded. His body stiffened, then his hand cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss. Her hands clenched, before she wrapped her arms around his waist, utterly content. This was the man she loved.
The setting sun cast their intertwined shadows. Alice’s breathing was ragged, her ears buzzing her mind blank.
After a long moment, Jackson pulled back, his breathing heavy, his gaze intense. He gently wiped the moisture from her lips, his voice husky.“Go change.”
Her face flushed, she mumbled an agreement. He noticed her scars as her skirt had ridden up. His gaze hardened; his mind cleared. He carefully pulled down her skirt.“Don’t wear such short
skirts.”
“Is it too short?”
“Yes. I don’t want others to see.”
He helped her down.“I won’t wear them anymore.”
“Silly.” He tapped her forehead. “Wear whatever you want. I’m jealous, but I’ll happily blind a

Alice stopped. “Fancy meeting you here, Ms. Garcia. Working out?” Something felt off. A Mo heiress at this small gym?
Julia Garcia’s smile was strained.“I’m looking for someone.”
Who would the Mo heiress be looking for?
