“Why? That’s terrible.”

The angry investors had left; the partnership was ruined. Luke focused his rage on Alice. Chloe was secretly delighted. She regretted missing the scene.
Chloe said pointedly, “Alice, this is your fault. As a member of the Windham family, how can you be so reckless?”
“Not everyone is as obedient as you.” Alice laughed. “Obedient like Chloe, dragging down the team and causing such a humiliating loss?”
Luke and Chloe’s faces darkened. Luke stepped forward.“Alice, come home and explain.” “What? Let her go.” Jack and Andrew Yates arrived.
Chloe was surprised.“Alice, you’re with that doctor?” She was pleased; her boyfriend was from a

doctor.
Don’t pretend. There were rumors at school. You ran away from home and live with him. Who would believe you?”
Garrett Yates raised his voice.“Alice lives with another man?”
Chloe smiled. “Yes, I told you before, but you didn’t believe me.”
Alice narrowed her eyes. “Do you know why Xiaoming’s grandfather lived so long?”
Garrett Yates said, “Why? What does that have to do with us?”
“Because he minded his own business and wasn’t a gossipy busybody.” Alice turned to Jack.“Let’s go.” She didn’t want to deal with them.
Jack’s cold gaze warned Garrett Yates. Garrett Yates, enraged, pointed at Jack.“What’s with that look? Try it again!” He’d never been treated this way.
Jack ignored him. Garrett Yates grabbed a bottle from a bartender and lunged at Jack.“I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Seeing Garrett Yates charging, Alice pushed Jack. Everything seemed to slow down. She closed her eyes, her head hitting Jack’s chest. He kicked Garrett Yates away, his movement fierce and ruthless. His face was grim, his eyes cold. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, Alice would have been injured.
Garrett Yates groaned in pain. Chloe rushed over.“Garrett, are you okay? You’re bleeding.” Chloe looked at Alice.“Alice, do you know who Garrett Yates is? If the Yates family presses charges, you can’t escape responsibility.”

Alice, clutching her head, said coldly,“Garrett Yates attacked first. It was self–defense.
“But you’re unharmed. Garrett Yates is seriously injured. We’ll call the police.” Chloe was nervous; if Garrett Yates was seriously injured, the Windhams would have a problem with the Yates family, affecting her chances of marrying into the Yates family.
Andrew Yates stepped forward.“Garrett Yates, are you trying to die?” Why was he here? He’d dared to attack Jack!
the masked man. It was Andrew Yates!
Garrett Yates stiffened, recognizing the
Luke helped Garrett Yates sit up.“Are you okay?”
“I’m hurt. It hurts so much.” Garrett Yates wanted to be a hero, but the kick had left him breathless; he thought his ribs might be broken.
Chloe was worried.“Sixth Brother, what do we do?”
“Take him to the hospital! Who did this?” She looked at Alice. “The doctor. He’s ruthless.”
Luke, seeing Alice, whispered, “Alice, do you know who Garrett Yates is? The Yates family will
make trouble.”
“Garrett Yates attacked first; we’re not at fault.” Alice was annoyed; this ruined her night.
Luke looked at Jack.“You did this. Take responsibility! Don’t involve my sister!” He needed to protect Alice from the Yates family.
Alice stood in front of Jack.“It wasn’t him. He protected me.”
“Alice, are you crazy? I’m helping you!” Luke didn’t understand.“Can you handle this? It’s the Yates family from Washington!”
Alice straightened her back.“We’ll hire a lawyer. Even the Yates family can’t act irrationally.”
“You think they’ll be reasonable?”
Andrew Yates intervened.“That’s not true. The Yates family are reasonable!” If he didn’t need to maintain his cover, he’d have slapped Garrett Yates himself.
Luke ignored him, looking at Alice.“Keep quiet. I’ll handle this. Have “your” man apologize to Garrett Yates at the hospital!”
He helped Garrett Yates up.“Garrett, let’s go. Your health is important.” Garrett Yates, grimacing in pain, barely registered the threats, focused on the intense pain. Passing Alice, Garrett Yates growled, “You’ll pay for this! It hurts… so much…
Chloe lingered, looking at Alice.“You’re doomed! He’s the Yates family matriarch’s precious grandson. You’ll face the consequences. Apologize to Garrett Yates and get his forgiveness.” She wanted her revenge.
