Chapter 320
Alice was surprised by the manager’s words but didn’t show it. She turned to her team. “Let’s go to the VIP room upstairs. Let’s not bother Miss Garcia and her guests.”
Julia’s face darkened.“Miss Windham, what’s the meaning of this?”

“We don’t drink, 80 We won’t disturb your party. I’m doing you “Alice, who do you think you are? You think you deserve the VIP‘ suite? Even my sister has to book it a month in advance! Manager, are you mistaken?”
The manager calmly replied, “No mistake. Miss Windham reserved the VIP suite.” Alice looked at Julia.“It’s so hard to book the VIP suite. Why don’t you switch with us?”
Julia said nothing. Alice and her team went upstairs. Lana Parker said, “That was satisfying! Did you see the Garcia sisters‘ faces?”
Alice squeezed Lana Parker’s hand. “Were you alright?”
“Yeah, did you really record the video?”
the ones who should be scared.”
Alice shook her head.“No time, but they’re the
The team entered the VIP room, but Alice noticed Li Man from the TG team talking to a server. Alice went over.
Li Man looked awkward.“Miss Windham.”
“You arranged this?”
Yes, Mr. Wilson instructed me to arrange everything for you.” Li Man knew they were arguing and that this was a delicate situation.
Alice thought it was Mary, but after hearing about the VIP reservation, she had a suspicion. Seeing Li Man confirmed it was Jack.
Li Man said cautiously, “I wouldn’t usually do this, but the Garcia family was being too much. I couldn’t help but defend you.”
“Thank you.” Alice felt satisfied.
Back in the room, she was distracted. Lana Parker asked, “Did you get the VIP room because of Mary?” Lana Parker knew Mary’s identity.
Alice nodded, unable to say it was Jack. They’d broken up.
Alice went to the restroom and saw a familiar figure leaning against the wall, texting. It was Jack
Jack turned, his eyes deep. He straightened. “Finished eating?”
“Not yet. I came to the restroom.” Alice looked at him.“Consider the VIP room a favor.”
“Come anytime. You don’t need a membership card. Jack had come after Li Man’s call.
Alice felt uneasy, looking down. Jack leaned closer. “Actually…”

Alice looked at Wang Yang, uncomfortable. Finished eating?”
Came out for a smoke.” Wang Yang glanced at the man beside Alice. He’d heard they’d broken,

Alice nodded and walked past Jack.
Jack’s gaze deepened. He looked at Wang Yang, his voice threatening. “Stay away from her.”

the room.
Jack clicked his tongue. He’d just warned a young kid.
Alice returned from the restroom, having splashed cold water on her face. Jack was still there. She took a deep breath and approached him.
He spoke. “There’s a dinner for the Al project. Want to go? There’s a new prosthetic limb project.”
Alice thought of Finn. In her past life, she’d developed popular AI prosthetic limbs. She’d only mentioned it to Jack once. His actions were quick, but understandable; with Andrew Yates and Jack backing Maple Leaf, they had money and resources.
Alice nodded, texting Lana Parker to eat first. She went with Jack to a room at the end of the corridor.
They found Julia there. The atmosphere was tense. Everyone knew about Julia and Jack, but Jack had brought a young woman.
Julia stood up.“Miss Windham, this is unexpected.”
A young man said, “Wilson, that’s not cool. Miss Garcia is here, and you bring another girl? Afraid she’ll be jealous?” Everyone started to tease.
Julia smiled, looking at Alice smugly.
Alice smiled.“Maybe I Game at

glanced at Jack, smiling.
Jack gritted his teeth; he didn’t want to see Alice smile. That smile hid a knife, more unsettling than her anger.
Julia said quickly, “No, you came at the right time. There are investors here. You’re such a great gamer; you can join their professional team.”
“I’m not considering a professional team.”
“Such a good opportunity. Aren’t you wasting it? Your school team will hinder your career.
Alice said, “The manager of the Blitzkrieg Team wanted me, but I refused. Everyone has their own goals.”
Julia went to Jack.“Jack, come sit down. Everyone’s waiting.”
Alice turned to leave, but Jack stopped her. He looked at her, his voice soft.“Are you angry?”
This shocked everyone. What was going on?
Alice smiled.“No.”
The young
young man asked tentatively, “Miss Windham, are you close to Mr. Wilson?” Alice smiled falsely. “Not really.”
Jack looked at her, his brow furrowed. He turned to the young man.“She’s mine. Watch your

Alice’s face heated. What did he mean, ‘she’s mine?
