Chapter 161

Alice didn’t want to talk much with Jack. The last incident with the security footage almost got Jack killed. Hunter Davis had connections to the Garcia family, and she didn’t want to drag Jack into this mess again. He deserved a peaceful life back in his hometown, A–City. She had enough on her plate dealing with the Windham family: her life was far from peaceful. Jack didn’t press her.“It’s getting late. Get some rest.”

After hanging up, Jack’s gentle expression hardened. He tossed his phone down. “Find out what the hell is going on between Hunter Davis and Alice.”

“She didn’t tell you?” his friend, Garrett, asked.

“No.”

“That’s weird. Little Lemon used to rely on you for everything. She’d tell you about any trouble. Why not this time?”

Jack sensed the shift in Alice’s demeanor. He had a pretty good guess what the girl was thinking. He glared at Garrett.“Enough chatter, find out!”

“Actually, no need. I just checked the Cloud University online forums. This Hunter Davis is the captain of the Cloud University gaming team, a total creep who preys on freshmen. Little Lemon’s gorgeous, and she’s a killer gamer, so naturally, this perv had his eye on her. He even tried to confess to her this afternoon outside the dorm.”

Garrett saw the darkening of Jack’s expression and quickly added, “But she rejected him. This jerk probably retaliated after being turned down, bribed the dorm matron, and tried to pull something nasty.”

Jack’s eyes turned glacial, the slight curve of his lips sending shivers down Garrett’s spine. He said. softly, chillingly, “Take care of Hunter Davis.”

Garrett hesitated.“But Little Lemon’s tough now. Maybe you should back off? She’ll handle Hunter Davis without your intervention.”

Jack lowered his eyelids. “I know.”

“If I hadn’t been sharp, Little Lemon would’ve been caught. Melody Garcia and your mother are everywhere, trying to find out who that girl was in the car accident with you.”

Jack fell silent.

Outside the hospital room, a middle–aged woman, Jack’s mother, overheard their conversation, her face hardening. She pushed open the door and entered, a strained smile plastered on her face.“Son, how are you feeling?”
