Chapter 199

Chloe was convinced Alice was being kept by Andrew Yates.

Ethan’s expression was unreadable.“Are you sure?”

“Think about it, Brother. There were hints in New York. Now, she’s in Washington, working at this company, and suddenly a shareholder. Something’s fishy.”

Ethan knew this tactic was common among the elite. Setting up small companies for mistresses was a small expense. But he hadn’t expected Alice to hook up with a Yates heir. She was getting ambitious!

Chloe, seeing Ethan believe her, smirked.“Brother, we need a plan. If Alice has that man backing her, she’ll always look down on us!”

“She dares. I’ll try to meet that Yates family member and talk about Alice.” He was her brother; the man couldn’t ignore him. Alice couldn’t keep making mistakes.

Outside, Alice finally relaxed. Her representative vented, “Alice, your brother is outrageous! Before Mr. Henry arrived, he mocked and belittled you. Then he changed his tune, using moral high ground! It’s like you stole our trade secrets!”

Alice thanked Henry.“Thank you so much. You were amazing.”

“It was my job,” Henry replied. Seeing Alice’s politeness, he contrasted it with the Alices‘ behavior. They were clearly biased. But with the Wilson family heir backing her, ten Alice families wouldn’t matter. He remembered Alice and Jack were in that accident, and Jack asked him to keep it confidential. He finally met the girl the Wilson heir was so protective of.

Alice exchanged contact information with Henry before he left. She remembered Garrett Yates mentioning his cousin, but she didn’t want to ask Henry. She’d ask Andrew Yates later. It was odd they both had the same surname.

Back at the company, Alice checked the AI project progress. With Henry as their lawyer, everyone was more confident and efficient.

Alice was coding when Jack arrived. She was wearing glasses, intensely focused on her work. Her fingers flew across the keyboard. She looked slightly dazed.

He leaned over the computer, calmly explaining the issue. Alice listened attentively but then noticed they were close. He was bent over, almost holding her. She couldn’t focus. She took a
