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?”

She’d been diligently practicing boxing for this day!

stammered.“But

he’s your brother! You could seriously injure him!”

The Maple Leaf representative couldn’t help but speak up.“Should Alice have just stood there and taken a beating?”

The gossipy colleague also chimed in.“Your bias is showing! He started it! If this goes to the police, Alice acted in self–defense!

“I already regret not waking up sooner!”

As Alice was about to leave, Luke blocked her. I tried to stop Chloe. She tricked me!”

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!”
