Chapter 174

With a swift shoulder throw, Alice sent Luke’s father sprawling onto the floor. The move was so fluid, Most people didn’t react until he landed, his face pale with pain. Chloe reacted first, rushing to his side.“Dad, are you alright?”

Luke’s father coughed and waved her off, but he clearly wasn’t okay. Chloe looked up.“Alice, how could you hit someone?!”

Alice clapped her hands. “Didn’t he start it?”

“I already regret not waking up sooner!”

Tricked you? You probably wanted her to!”

To make her obedient, clip her wings! What kind of brother was he?

Luke, unable to meet Alice’s gaze, explained anxiously, “I didn’t!”

“But you did. Get out of my way!”
