Alice's tone was cold.”So?”

feelings and needed to make amends.

Alice hadn't expected Big Brother's return, but it was inevitable after her exam; it happened in her past life too.

She'd have to face it eventually.

Her expression didn’t change.“No, thanks.”

“Alice, there's no need to confront Big Brother directly. You'll only get hurt. You might even. implicate Jack; you

Don’t worry about me.”

She knew dealing with Big Brother would be difficult. But she wouldn't accept Luke’s suggestion, Since she'd left,

she wouldn't be going back.

Luke sighed.“Alice, do you hate Luke andthat much?” He and Luke felt guilty and wanted to make it up to

her, but she wouldn't accept it. They were siblings; there shouldn't be lasting grudges.

Alice’s eyes held a hint of mockery. “We cut ties. What you're saying is irrelevant.” Back in the apartment, Alice

ran a hand through her hair, feeling anxious. She wasn’t worried about herself, but about Jack. After her live

stream, Jack still hadn't returned. She waited on the couch, eventually falling asleep. She woke to the sound of

the apartment door opening.

Alice opened her eyes to

to see two figures: Jack, supporting a drunk Gator.

She stood up.“Did you go out drinking?”

“You're still up?” Jack helped Gator to his room, unceremoniously tossing him onto the bed before returning to

Alice. Something you want to talk about?”

“Yes.”

Jack removed his jacket, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned a few shirt buttons. Alice quickly poured water, placing

a glass of lemon water on Gator’s nightstand before rushing to Jack. She put a glass in front of him, too.

His gaze

fell on her slender hands, his throat tightening slightly. “What is it?” He guessed it had something to do with

Chloe's cheating allegations.

Alice said, “I want to find new place to live. | won't stay here anymore.”

Jack raised an eyebrow, his gaze locking on her face, noticing her apprehension and hesitation. “Why?”

“Because... because it’s not right forto mooch off your place. | have money now, so | can buy my own, she

“Worried my girlfriend won't have a place to sleep?” His voice was husky, a hint of teasing in his He leaned back

on the sofa, his shirt open, his collarbones exposed. Alice felt a strange pull at his relaxed posture. She lowered

Alice’s mood soured. She couldn’t imagine him being that close with another girl, sharing a bed. It was unsettling

Her expression beccalm. I'm going to bed.”

She turned and left, slamming the door quite forcefully, Jack raised an eyebrow at the sound; was she angry?

“Jack, you're not being truthful. You don’t have a girlfriend,” Gator slurred, taking a sip of lemon water “You're

playing word games with her. Little Lemon's so thoughtful; she even put water by my bed. If it weren't for her

family background, I'd say you two would be perfect together.” Jack's eyes darkened.“Don’t joke about that.”

“Okay, let's talk business. | just got a message: the exam footage is out. Chloe was definitely cheating; the

evidence is clear. What are you going to do?”

A cold smile touched Jack's lips.“Exactly what needs to be done.” Bugs get squashed.

Back in her apartment, Alice replayed Jack's words, wanting to punch him. She lay in bed, restless She'd almost

forgotten about his girlfriend, hoping to ignore it, but it was just self-deception. She'd suggested moving out so

that if Big Brother found out where she was, he wouldn't involve Jack.

She hardly slept. The next day, she received a call from Davis, Jack’s secretary:“Miss Wind, the gyou helped

develop is about to launch. We need a final meeting with all participants, including you. Are you available this

afternoon?”

“I don’t want to go. My absence won't make a difference.” She didn’t want to see the Winds. “Miss Wind, this is

work. | know how you feel, but we need to separate things. If you start your own business, and it’s related to the

Winds, will you avoid them forever?”

“Who says

I'll avoid them?”

Alice sighed. I'll be there.”

She felt frustrated. She wouldn't run away.

Alice went to the hospital; Luke was still hospitalized. Several project team members were present. On the way,

she wondered if this was a trap.

Luke's eyes softened when he

her.“You came. Alice stood at the side, listening to the team’s complaints about the tight deadlines from the

partners. She realized that Gator and Jack weren't hthese past few days, probably working on the game.

After the meeting, Alice turned to leave.

“Alice, wait.”

Soon, only the two siblings remained.

Luke said, “Big Brother cback last night. Do you know?”

“I know, but my decision won't change.”

As Alice reached the door, several people entered, led by a man in a suit, handsand stern. Big Brother,

Ethan Lu, said coldly, “Stop. Where do you think you're going? Chwith me!”
