Alice felt a chill run down her spine. They'd been alone together last night; what else could have happened? She
never expected this to happen to her.
Julia Garcia saw Alice's pale face and smirked.”Ms. Alice, | wanted to tell you sooner, but I didn’t have the
chance.”
“Don’t givethat. You had plenty of chances.” Alice said, “What's your relationship with Jack?”
“Ms. Alice, | wanted to tell you last night. Remember? | asked if you knew your boyfriend's identity?”
She had asked, but Alice hadn’t thought much of it then. She'd never suspected Jack.
Alice recalled Jack's question in the private room about hiding his identity. The friend he was talking about was
himself?
Alice’s heart sank; her hands were cold.“Who is Jack?”
“It's easy to guess; he shares a surnwith Daniel.”
Alice’s mind went blank; an incredible answer formed. Her lips were pale.“He’s Daniel's brother?”
“Yes, he’s the Tremaine heir.”
Alice didn’t remember leaving the cafe; she couldn't breathe. She never expected Jack to be the Tremaine heir.
She hadn't noticed the signs: his friendship with Garrett, his ease at Pear Garden, his quick arrival for the Al
project meeting, their secluded dates (he was probably booking the restaurants privately to avoid being seen).
She'd thought he was from a normal background, having becfriends with Garrett and started a business.

“Ms. Alice, wait,” Julia Garcia called out.”l know you're upset, but Jack likes you; otherwise, he wouldn't have
hidden his identity.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, you should know I'm engaged to him, and we grew up together. Besides affection, there are practical
considerations. You don’t want to be the other woman, do you?” That stung Alice. The other woman?
Alice stumbled backward, feeling defeated.“But
I didn’t know who he was.
“I understand; you're innocent. But we've had years of history, and our families are close. We're practically
bound together. You know how complicated high-society marriages are.” Julia Garcia's voice was
sympathetic.”“He hid his identity, but as a woman, | don’t want to see you deceived. You're a good girl; you
deserve a brighter future.”
Alice fled. Julia Garcia's words felt like knives. Jack was the Tremaine heir, engaged to Julia Garcia. In her past
life, they had gotten engaged, hadn't they? What was she now? Alice almost walked into traffic, failing to notice
the changing light. A car swerved. “Captain, watch out!” Someone pulled Alice back. She saw the car speed past,
shaken. It was one of her esports teammates. “Thank you.”

“Yes, a friend does.”
Alice looked at the usernand character class; it was identical to someone she'd met in her past life. Could it

“Family matters. My grandmother wasn’t well; | had to take care of her.” Alice remembered someone in her past
