Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 216

Alice didn’t believe Caleb. She knew how much he loved to act, both professionally and personally.

Caleb smiled, whispering, “I heard your team needs sponsors. I’ll help. Cooperate, be good.” Alice refused to cooperate. Caleb forcefully put his arm around her, feigning closeness. Alice noticed the media was present; he’d planned this. She wouldn’t cooperate elsewhere, but not at the base. It would reflect poorly on the team. Caleb was famous, and had never revealed hist family. What was he doing?

Calels said to the cameras, “You’re curious about my injury? My sister did this. We were sparring, and she’s improved a lot. I can’t beat her.”

His public persona was that of a warm, caring older brother. Fans expressed envy. Alice’s expression was grim. Someone said, “Your brother is so kind, helping you gain popularity and sponsors. Why the long face?”

Alice looked up; Max and Chloe were in the crowd. Max was Caleb’s fan? Chloe said, “Sister Alice, smile. People

People will think you resent your brother.” Alice’s hands clenched. Caleb leaned in, whispering, “Cooperate. It’s for your own good.” But she’d never asked for this! They always compensated her in ways “they decided. A girl in a baseball cap spoke up.“Why should Alice cooperate with a family that mistreats her? She cut ties with them. Everyone knows that.”

Alice’s eyes welled up; it was Jiang Lu, her classmate. Chloe was surprised to see her. Caleb’s expression hardened, but his smile remained. “I only learned about this recently. My sister and the family had a huge fight. But she’s always my sister.”

Jiang Lu pointed at Chloe. “What about her? You favored the adopted daughter over Alice. Chloe, hating being reminded of her adoption, said, “Jiang Lu, we were classmates. You’re close to Alice, but you shouldn’t spread rumors. The brothers treated us fairly.”

“Fair? When you were sick, Alice had to get food. She was the top student, but had to give up Washington University to attend a second–tier school with you. Is that fair?” Jiang Lu knew what happened in high school..

The crowd gasped. Even reporters were shocked.

Caleb’s expression turned cold. He whispered, “Your friend is loyal, but she shouldn’t say Should I teach her a lesson?”

“Don’t touch her,” Alice said. She knew Caleb’s methods.
