Alice's
voice was
sharp.“Do
you think there’s anything | wouldnt do?”
“Alice, you're a jinx. You ruined Brother's plan. How are we going to find the killer and avenge Mom and Dad?”
Blake shouted.
“What do you mean?” Alice had no idea what plan Ethan was referring to; he hadn't mentioned anything like that
during their deal.
“You're asking now? It’s too late! You killed Mom and Dad, and now you're obstructing Brother's plan. You are a
jinx!” Blake raged.
Ethan entered, taking Blake's phone.“Alice, except for Second Brother, each of your brothers’ careers were
strategically pinned. It was to help us find the killer and make them pay!” Alice scoffed.“Using Mom and Dad to
pressureagain?”
“I'm not lying about this,” Ethan said, a long pause following.“The Windham family’s journey hasn't been easy.
Four’s situation could've been handled privately. You didn’t have to make it public and ruin him.”
“Ha. Saying this now is ridiculous,” Alice said, hanging up. She didn’t trust Ethan. If such a plan existed, he would
have mentioned it during Six’s incident.
Alice asked cautiously, “Ms. Alice, do you really have photos of Four’s disfigured face?”

“No, | lied. But he wouldn't risk it.” Alice hadn't planned to take pictures; Blake's bloody face had been too
shocking. She also didn’t keep that kind of evidence. She'd only said it because Blake threatened her friends.
Okay, we'll handle the media. You just rest,” Alice said.
“Thank you,” Alice replied.
Alice and her team left, ready to fight their first battle.
Alone in her room, Alice received a message from Jack: “What are you doing?*
*Just ended the live stream, watching the online
online unfold,” she replied.
*Don’t bother; it'll affect your mood. Go for a walk. I'll be back later,” he texted back.
Her mood improved.
Two days later, Alice had to
go to the police station. Jack accompanied her. In the car, he took her hand.“Lawyer Henry will be there. Ask him
if you don’t understand anything.”
“Okay,” Alice said, looking out the window, a smile playing on her lips as their fingers intertwined.
They arrived at the station. Alice, wearing a hat and mask, was relieved to find no media waiting. The
questioning was brief.
Leaving the station, they saw the Windham family arriving. Blake, in a wheelchair and his face bandaged, looked
severely injured.
Blake immediately confronted Alice.“Alice, I'm your brother! | arranged your role; | helped you rehearse. Yet you
betrayed me!” He played the victim perfectly.
Alice was calm.“Stop acting. This isn’t a film set.”

Jack sneered. “Blake, was this your ‘rehearsal’-beating Alice up?”
Blake
Chloe
stammered, “It was an
accident. Alice said she didn’t mind the pain.”
added, “Four is the one who's seriously injured!
injured! Why is Alice lying?
Jack looked at Chloe."“Blake was fleeing when he got hurt. If he wasn’t guilty, why would he run?”
Chloe faltered.“Four is a public figure; this kind of incident would damage his reputation.”
Alice said coldly, “Chloe instigated Blake, telling him about my plans to expose him. You think you can get away
with this?”

Chloe lowered her head, denying it. Blake looked at Chloe meaningfully; Alice was right. Chloe had played a
crucial role, and he fell for it.
Chloe, noticing Blake's gaze, Shrank back, silent. She knew Blake wouldn't reveal her involvement.
Seeing Lawyer Henry, Blake's face fell. Alice had poached TG PR, and now she had Henry-his chances were slim.
Blake looked at Alice, his eyes red.“You abandonedonce as a child; | almost died. If you weren't my sister, |
would've dealt with you long ago.”
Blake panicked. TG PR was gone, and now Henry was on Alice’s side.
He turned to Alice, his eyes filled with anguish.”You owea life. Are you trying to killagain?”
“Be specific. When did | owe you a life?” Alice had heard this accusation multiple times.
Chloe interrupted. “Four, let's go inside; don’t waste time.”
Jack looked at Chloe coldly.“You're so eager to change the subject. Is the incident from your childhood related to
this?”
“What are you talking about? | have nothing to do with it!” Chloe's face turned pale; if Blake knew the truth, she
was done for.
Blake spoke.“Yes. Chloe saved me. But you abandonedin the alley and pointedout to the thugs! Am |
wrong?”
Alice recalled something and stared intently at Chloe.“So, that’s what you told Four?” She'd been right.
This chapter builds towards a final revelation, creating suspense and foreshadowing a significant confrontation
concerning Chloe's role in the past events. The Americanized context and colloquial language are consistently
maintained.
