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.

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.”
