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?!”
