Chapter 214

Alice kicked the slippers away. “Give me my phone.”

Luke swallowed the bitter truth and changed the subject.“What do you want to eat? Are you feeling unwell?”

Alice felt her words were hitting a wall. She looked at Luke, “Why can’t you understand me? They claimed to compensate her, but it wasn’t what she wanted.

Luke pleaded, “Alice, I know you’re angry with Caleb. He has a bad temper. But don’t hold grudge. When you were bullied, he always avenged you. Remember?” He didn’t want Alice to misunderstand Caleb..

Alice scoffed.“Avenged me? He had a bad temper and couldn’t get along with classmates. They Couldn’t beat him, so they bullied me.” She remembered the endless bullying Caleb supposedly

avenged her, but those kids targeted her because of him. She’d still loved him, even though she was bullied, because he always fought back. After Chloe arrived, her situation worsened. Luke’s composure faltered.“I didn’t know.”

Alice’s eyes fell. Her older brothers were busy, her fifth brother was reclusive, and Luke and Caleb were inseparable. She’d followed them. She’d known she’d be bullied after Caleb fought back, but she’d accepted it because it made her feel important.

Luke said cautiously, I’ve spoken to Caleb. He won’t do it again.”

Alice sneered. “Your actions are no different from his.”

“Alice, I’m worried about long–term effects. Let a doctor examine you, then leave. Have dinne with me?”

“No.” Alice knocked Luke unconscious. She helped him back onto the bed. He seemed much thinner, almost skeletal. She took back her phone. Jack had called several times. She put on her shoes and tried to leave, only to find more bodyguards.
