Chapter 112

If Alice’s family would only hinder her new life, he would pave the way for her. He’d overcome any obstacle.

Hearing his voice, Alice sniffed.“No need. I already handled it. Don’t provoke my brother; he’s not easy to deal with.” Her brother was overbearing and she feared for Jack. He had power in the city, and Jack, with his lack of connections, wouldn’t stand a chance.

Jack’s eyes narrowed. “You think I’m” easy to deal with?” He was amused and slightly exasperated. For years, others had feared him, never the other way around!

Seeing her worry, he swallowed the retort. Ethan might have seen him; revealing his identity. would be disastrous. Before his identity was revealed, he could be her friend. Afterward, he would lose his place in her life. He admitted he hesitated.

Alice, realizing she was still clinging to him, slowly released her grip, her expression uneasy. “You’re okay. Let’s go home.”

She’d signed the severance agreement. Given his pride, Ethan wouldn’t contact her again. That was exactly what she wanted.

On the third floor of the hospital, Ethan watched from the hallway, seeing Alice in a tender embrace with a man whose face was obscured.

He frowned.“That’s the nurse, right? He shouldn’t be here!”

His subordinate reported, “Boss, everyone we sent is missing; we can’t contact them.”

“Impossible! A nurse? What kind of power he have?”

Luke said, “Brother, that man might have connections. He hid Alice in the apartment; it took Luke a long time to find her.”

“Hmph. Even with connections, he’s just a nobody. Alice’s lost her mind. She’ll regret this. Cut off all financial support!”

“Brother, after we adopted Chloe, Alice stopped taking money from the family.

Ethan was surprised.“How did she survive?”

“Scholarships and streaming. She improved dramatically in the last few months and is now a popular streamer, earning a lot. Luke felt a deeper pang of guilt. Alice was independent.

Ethan scoffed.“Just. streamer! Compared ΤΟ

Ethan received a call. “Mr. Windham, we’re from Harvard University’s admissions office. Are you Alice’s guardian? We’d like to discuss her application.”

Ethan coldly replied, “She won’t go to Harvard University. She’ll stay local.” He hung up.“Alice’s rebellious. She’d cause trouble in Peking. It’s better for her to stay local, where we can keep an eye on her.”

“Shouldn’t you ask her?”

“Why bother?” Luke felt uneasy but didn’t say anything.“Chloe’s grades are poor; she’ll also stay
