Chapter 200

Alice held her nose, turning to Jack “You should go”

“Alice, you’re so eager to get rid of him. Are you guilty? Afraid your poor boyfriend will find out you’re being kept?”

Alice turned to the drunken Chloe,“You keep mentioning ‘kept. You seem to know a lot about it.” “Alice, stop changing the subject. You’re guilty,” Chloe looked at Jack “Don’t look so upset. Alice cheated. She’s being kept by Yates, and he gave her

and he gave her Maple Leaf shares.

Jack’s eyes narrowed. He’d given Alice the shares.

Chloe boasted, “A poor nurse like you will never earn that much money in your life. You’re a gigolo. But you’re good–looking. If you were with me, I’d give you more money,” She couldn’t stand Alice having her cake and eating it too, having a man devoted to her. Garrett Yates, that mama’s boy, was called back by his mother and wouldn’t even answer her calls. Chloe hiccuped. If she was miserable, Alice wouldn’t be happy either. She’d take everything from Alice, including her man.

“So, which is better, me?” Alice wouldn’t give Jack much money. She was the Alice family’s favorite daughter.

“Chloe, are you crazy?” Alice pulled Chloe away and slapped her.“Didn’t you get enough earlier?” Chloe sat on the ground, dazed. Alice took out her phone.“If you’re drunk and horny, go to a hotel. Don’t make a scene here.”

Chloe tried to yell, but seeing Alice recording, she scrambled up.“Delete that video “Get lost, or I’ll post this on the school forum. Let your simps see your drunken antics. See if you can keep your ‘pure‘ image.”

Chloe, sobering up, scurried away.

Alice put away her phone, turning to Jack.“She’s drunk and crazy. I’ll get back to the dorm before curfew.”

Jack nodded, watching her enter the school.

He called Andrew Yates, his tone cold.“What did Ethan say?”

“I was about to tell you. They seem to misunderstand me and Little Lemon. They say I’m keeping her, and Ethan tried to blackmail me. What a joke.”

Jack’s face was grim.“Expose the Alice brothers‘ theft of trade secrets. Make it as damaging as possible.”

“Understood. Little Lemon needs justice.” Andrew Yates paused.“As your friend, let me remind you. People will eventually discover your identity. Have you thought about explaining this to Little Lemon?” As long as Alice was in Washington, she’d run into people who knew Jack. It was only a matter of time.

Jack’s throat tightened.“I know.” But he didn’t know how to tell Alice. He was afraid she’d end their friendship. Everything he had with her felt stolen.

“Think it over. The truth always comes out,” Andrew Yates said before hanging up.

Jack rolled down his window, lighting a cigarette. He looked at the night sky, his thoughts tangled. He crushed the cigarette. His phone buzzed. It was Alice:“Are
