Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 200

Alice held her nose, turning to Jack “You should go”

“Alice, you're so eager to get rid of him. Are you guilty? Afraid your poor boyfriend will find out you're being

kept?”

Alice turned to the drunken Chloe,“You keep mentioning ‘kept. You seem to know a lot about it.” “Alice, stop

changing the subject. You're guilty,” Chloe looked at Jack “Don’t look so upset. Alice cheated. She's being kept

by Yates, and he gave her

and he gave her Maple Leaf shares.

Jack’s eyes narrowed. He'd given Alice the shares.

Chloe boasted, “A poor nurse like you will never earn that much money in your life. You're a gigolo. But you're

good-looking. If you were with me, I'd give you more money,” She couldn't stand Alice having her cake and

eating it too, having a man devoted to her. Garrett Yates, that mama's boy, was called back by his mother and

wouldn't even answer her calls. Chloe hiccuped. If she was miserable, Alice wouldn't be happy either. She'd take

everything from Alice, including her man.

“So, which is better, me?” Alice wouldn't give Jack much money. She was the Alice family’s favorite daughter.

“Chloe, are you crazy?” Alice pulled Chloe away and slapped her.“Didn’t you get enough earlier?” Chloe sat on

the ground, dazed. Alice took out her phone.“If you're drunk and horny, go to a hotel. Don’t make a scene here.”

Chloe tried to yell, but seeing Alice recording, she scrambled up.“Delete that video “Get lost, or Ill post this on

the school forum. Let your simps see your drunken antics. See if you can keep your ‘pure’ image.”

Chloe, sobering up, scurried away.

Alice put away her phone, turning to Jack.“She’s drunk and crazy. I'll get back to the dorm before curfew.”

Jack nodded, watching her enter the school.

He called Andrew Yates, his tone cold.“What did Ethan say?”

“I was about to tell you. They seem to misunderstandand Little Lemon. They say I'm keeping her, and Ethan

tried to blackmail me. What a joke.”

Jack’s face was grim.“Expose the Alice brothers’ theft of trade secrets. Make it as damaging as possible.”

“Understood. Little Lemon needs justice.” Andrew Yates paused.“As your friend, letremind you. People will

eventually discover your identity. Have you thought about explaining this to Little Lemon?” As long as Alice was

in Washington, she'd run into people who knew Jack. It was only a matter of time.

Jack’s throat tightened.”l know.” But he didn’t know how to tell Alice. He was afraid she’d end their friendship.

Everything he had with her felt stolen.

“Think it over. The truth always comes out,” Andrew Yates said before hanging up.

Jack rolled down his window, lighting a cigarette. He looked at the night sky, his thoughts tangled. He crushed

the cigarette. His phone buzzed. It was Alice: “Are

He replied, “Almost.” His lips curved up involuntarily.

Alice was in bed, sending him a picture of herself applying ointment.“My arm’s messed

up. | had

to put on a lot of bandages.” Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to move tomorrow, Jack’s eyes darkened. He

replied, “I didn’t do that.”

Alice sent a string of ellipses.

Jack threw his phone aside and drove home, in high spirits.

Alice reread his message and sent a cartoon of a person beating someone up. been clear.

Her message had

The next day, Alice was woken by a phone call. She was annoyed.“Who is it?” “Alice, | didn’t expect you to be so

ruthless. | confessed to everything, but why did you expose this to the media? Why destroycompletely?”

Luke's voice

Luke's voice was full of grief. Alice sat up, yawning.“Are you sick? When did | expose anything to the media?”

“Check the gaming news. Who else would do this?”

Luke saw the article and knew his career was over. Sponsors were calling to cancel contracts. Team members

wanted to quit.

He raged, “Alice, | admit | was wrong. Even jail, I'll accept it. Why go this far?”

raged, “Alice,

Alice opened her phone and saw the article:“Alice Group suspected of stealing trade secrets; gaming industry

magnate caught red-handed.”

It said Luke stole trade secrets for Ethan, without mentioning Alice’s name. But the scandal caused Ethan's

company’s stock to plummet.

Alice replied coldly, “Believe it or not, | didn't do it.”

“Who else would?”

“If you believe so, then so be it. The report isn’t false.” She wouldn't explain. Misunderstandings were nothing

new.

“Alice, we're even now!” Luke hung up.

Alice sneered. But she wondered who did it. She forwarded the article to Andrew Yates.“Did you do this?” She

could only think of him.

“Ahem. How did you know?” Andrew Yates was slightly embarrassed. Had she discovered something?

“Besides you, | can’t think of anyone else. But Garrett Yates might cause trouble for would tell him.

you.” Chloe

“Don’t worry about Garrett Yates.” Andrew Yates paused.“You know who | am?”

“Yes, Jack told me.”

Andrew Yates:“??” Jack used his friend as a shield!

“Little Lemon, my identity doesn’t matter. We're friends. If Garrett Yates bullies you, let me

know.”

Alice smiled. Garrett Yates couldn’t bully her.“How did you and Jack meet? What did he do

before?”

Alice sensed Jack’s identity was shrouded in mystery. After her question, he remained silent. She probed, “Can't |

ask?” Was his job classified?

“Ahem, Little Lemon, that’s not what | meant. You should ask him. | have a meeting Gotta go!* Andrew Yates

hung up, relieved. Little Lemon was sharp. He called Jack immediately, to warn him. He'd done enough-taking

the fall for keeping a college student was more than enough. Alice considered Andrew Yates’s words. Jack's past

job was probably shady. Mysterious. She checked the news; the buzz had died down. Someone had suppressed

it. The stock drop was probably giving Ethan a headache.

Feeling better, she opened her computer to fix the Al issues.

A message popped up from the black Danielet. A message from an admin: “Someone wants to buy your firewall

system from a while back. They're offering two million to rewrite one for their company.”

Easy money. Alice replied:“Five million.”

The admin replied after a while:“They agreed. They want you to personally install and test it to prove it can

withstand attacks, then you'll get the rest. Plus one million annually for maintenance and emergency fixes.” This

company was frequently attacked.

“Okay. What's the company name?”

“Confidential. You'll find out when you go to install it.”

So secretive. They'd made enemies. Alice didn’t press; anonymity was important in the black Danielet. She

understood. As long as they paid.

Alice took the job. Who would turn down easy money?

She continued coding the Al project. After lunch, she went to Maple Leaf. But there were bodyguards outside her

floor. Who was here?

The representative rushed over.“Alice, the Alices are here-your brothers. They look angry.”

Two brothers?

As Alice approached her office, Ethan emerged. “Alice, | thought you could hide forever. You think someone

protects you, and | can’t find you?”

Alice saw Luke inside. But Andrew Yates wasn’t there.

She entered her office, frowning.“What do you want?” They cstraight to the office! But Ethan now knew

Andrew Yates owned the company, so he wouldn't dare touch it. Ethan was furious. “I'm here to settle accounts

with Andrew Yates. | know you're involved in that media exposure.” He'd been humiliated by Andrew Yates last

night. The news about Chloe and Luke had dropped his company’s stock. Alice and Andrew Yates were clearly

connected.

Alice smirked.“Do you have proof?”

“Do | need proof?”

Alice mocked him. “But you always demanded proof for anything involving me. No proof meant it was my fault,

not Chloe's. No proof meant | swindhamed her. Now you want proof?”

Edhan was enraged. He pointed at her “Stop with the excuses! Besides the exposure, my company’s firewall

keeps getting attacked! Did you do that?”

Alice laughed “Looks like you have many enemies, all vultures.

“Who else could do this?” Ethan was ready to strike but hesitated, meeting, Alice's dark eyes, He touched his

bruised arm from yesterday,

Alice saw him restrain himself. Violence seemed to work on him. At least he wouldn't dare attack her again.

Luke coughed. “Alice, Brother's just anxious. Don’t take it to heart.”

Alice was impatient.“You’'re not welchere. Leave!”

“Alice, | won't leave without an expression. You hacked my company’s system. Did you steal trade

secrets?”

“expression, huh?” Alice opened Andrew Yates’s computer, her slender fingers flying across the keyboard. Code

filled the screen, quickly hacking into Ethan's company system. Luke was surprised by Alice's skills. She wrote

code and hacked into Ethan's system-a highly secured system-on the fly, He hadn't realized how talented she

was. He'd underestimated her. Ethan sneered.“Alice, fix my system.”

Ethan's secretary panicked, “Boss, the entire system has crashed. Security is compromised!” “What?!” Ethan

looked at Alice.“Stop! What did you do?” He thought she was fixing the system. Alice stopped, cold and

calm.“You wanted an expression?”

“That's not an expression!”

“If I hacked your company, wouldn't it be more significant? This is what it would look like. Get it?”

Ethan was sweating. He shouted at his secretary, “What are you looking atfor? Get IT to fix it!” A bunch of

idiots!

Alice watched Ethan frantically trying to fix the problem, but it wouldn't be easy. He cto her, his hands on

the desk, eyes

bloodshot.

“Alice, fix my system! This is Alice tilted her head.”Beg me.”
