Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 204

Jack, his face grim, walked directly to Alice. She was startled by his sudden entrance. Seeing hist expression, she

took his hand. “I'm okay.” Don’t start a fight. Ethan would use it against them. But she wouldn't let Jack take the

fall.

Jack, seeing Alice's calm expression, relaxed slightly. He looked at Ethan. Had he been too lenient. with the Alice?

Letting them walk all over Alice!

Ethan's gaze lingered on Jack, his expression complex. He looked like someone from the Wilson family!“Who are

you?”

“Who he is isn’t important right now,” Andrew Yates said, entering the office, his usual affable demeanor

replaced with an air of arrogance.

Ethan's face changed when he saw Andrew Yates.“Mr. Yates.” He'd met Andrew Yates at a social

event.

Luke was surprised.“Brother, you mean he’s “the” Andrew Yates?”

“Yes,” Ethan said. Luke's expression changed. He'd met Andrew Yates several times in New York, always because

of Alice. Back then, he didn’t know his identity. That explained why it had been so difficult to find Alice when she

ran away. He'd assumed the nurse was important. It was Andrew Yates all

Yates all along! Was Jack not her boyfriend, but Andrew Yates?

Ethan asked Luke, “You know him?”

Andrew Yates said smoothly, “Yes, I've met Mr. Luke several times. Unpleasant encounters.”

Ethan frowned. He’d known nothing about this.

Luke explained hastily, “I didn’t know Mr. Yates's identity. | apologize for any offense. | was only trying to protect

my sister.”

“Your protection? Little Lemon would've been dead if it weren't for others,” Andrew Yates sneered.

Ethan was uncomfortable. “Mr. Yates, your words are harsh.”

“I'm not wrong. Your ‘protection’ and ‘concern’ were always conditional on Alice's concessions, sacrifices, and

apologies. Without them, you wouldn't protect her, would you?” Andrew Yates was always blunt.

Ethan's face changed, but he couldn't retort. Offending Andrew Yates would be disastrous for the Alice Group.

Luke looked at Andrew Yates. “We were wrong. Alice is our only sister. She's never lacked for money. She's not

someone to be tossed aside.”

Jack said coldly, “Isn't your only sister Chloe?”

Andrew Yates added, “You always favored the fake sister, didn’t you? You've always belittled Little Lemon. What

gives you the right to say that?”

Luke almost stumbled. The words were like needles, piercing his mind. He'd tried to calm down, to focus on

making amends. The past couldn't be changed.

Ethan supported Luke.“| told you not to come!”

Thad to! Mr. Yates, if you spare Alice, nyour price!” Luke was determined to protect his sister. Alice couldn't

be anyone's mistress!

Andrew Yates laughed.“Okay. The entire Alice family fortune for Little Lemon.”

Luke nodded."Deal.”

Ethan said harshly, “I didn’t agree. Alice's choices are her own. It's not the Alice family’s responsibility.”

Luke stepped forward. “I'll give my entire fortune!”

“Not enough!” Andrew Yates sneered. “Your sincerity is lacking.” He turned to Alice.”l was testing them. Their so-

Alice smiled.“No need. | knew.”

Ethan yelled at Alice, “Alice, are you proud? Since you're ungrateful, fine. I'm making it clear in front of Mr. Yates:

Jack threw teacup, splashing

With Andrew Yates present, he could only leave angrily.

Luke looked at Alice.“Alice, no matter what Brother says, you're always my sister. Ctoif you need

anything.”

Andrew Yates mocked, “Right, haven't you been coming to Little Lemon for help all this time? When did she ever

ask you for anything? Have sshame.”

Luke coughed, clutching his stomach. Alice remained impassive.

Her secretary said anxiously, “Ms. Alice, do you still have the medicinal porridge recipe you made. for the boss?”

Alice sneered, “The medicinal porridge?”

“Yes, the boss only feels better after drinking it.”

“No, he prefers Chloe's plain congee, doesn’t he?” Alice remembered Luke saying Chloe’s congee was

thoughtful, while her carefully made medicinal porridge was ignored. Regret now? Too late! Luke said,

Andrew Yates chimed in, ‘Realized it long ago, and only saying it now? Procrastination is a disease! Tell him next

Luke explained hastily, “Alice, | didn’t know how to say it. | was afraid you wouldn't forgive me.” The more he

thought about his mistakes, the more he suffered, the more he avoided facing her.

Alice's voice was cold. | won't forgive you!”

Luke, numb with pain, choked out, “Will you forgiveonly after | die?” He picked up a shard of the broken

teacup and slashed his wrist....
