Chapter 217

Alice was shocked when Caleb hit Chloe. Caleb had always been kind to Chloe, even letting her bully Alice. He’d sided with Chloe when they’d clashed in the infirmary. He’d even slapped Alice. Why the sudden change? Alice didn’t feel happy; she just thought he was even crazier. Chloe, eyes brimming with tears, hadn’t expected this either. Caleb said coldly, “Apologize. Don’t waste my time.”

Chloe, sobbing, said, “Sister Alice, it’s my fault. I wrongly copied your ideas and influenced Brother and the others to you.”

Alice felt no emotion. Caleb looked at Alice, his tone gentler.“I saw the video. It was Chloe’s fault. It has nothing to do with you.”

Alice found this ridiculous. They thought a simple apology would erase everything? Her voice was cold.“I understand. Are you finished?”

“Alice, Caleb explained everything, and Chloe apologized. Don’t stay angry. It’s causing family. problems,” Caleb said, more like a threat than a plea.

Alice raised an eyebrow.“I’m not angry. The family mistreated me. Why should I

go back?

“You’re right. I’ll talk to Brother. Don’t worry.” Caleb waved dismissively. “You’re meeting friends for dinner, right? Go.”

Alice left without looking back. Caleb’s smile vanished. He looked at Chloe.“Was I unkind to you? I hate being lied to. Remember?”

Chloe, tears in her eyes, finally understood Caleb’s nature. He’d been kind to her, making her forget his temper. Her plan at the party backfired.

Caleb’s tone softened.“Ice your face. I’ll give you a role in my new movie. Here’s the script.”

“Thank you, Brother Four. Chloe was delighted.

“It’s nothing. You helped me when I was attacked by my enemies.” Chloe lowered her eyes, hiding her guilt. Alice had actually summoned help. But she couldn’t admit it. Caleb had disliked her, but changed after that incident. She wouldn’t reveal the truth. Everything she had was deserved.

Alice stepped out of the van, breathing in the fresh air. She looked back at the van, her eyes cold. She wouldn’t let this continue. She only cooperated with Caleb’s interview because she feared. he’d target Jiang Lu.
