Alice saw the shock, embarrassment, and guilt on Mary Parker's face. Mary Parker blushed and said, “I'm sorry.”
Alice was surprised; she'd expected justifications and moral grandstanding, not an immediate apology. The Land
family wouldn't do this. Mary Parker was different. Alice said, “You should apologize. You tipped off Ethan about
the press conference, right?”
Mary Parker nodded, blushing.“Yes, I'm sorry.”
Alice pondered.“Did you think | was just fighting with my family?”
“At first, yes. But after spending twith you, | realized you're not like that. | started suspecting. Chloe; your
brother treats her differently.”
Alice said, “Have dinner with my family. You'll see.”
“Okay,” Mary Parker readily agreed. She didn’t want to remain uninformed.“l owe you for the press conference;
I'll make it up to you.”
Alice wanted to tell her that Ethan and Mary Parker weren't suitable, but she held back; she didn’t want to get
involved in the Land family’s mess. Ethan wasn’t the type for an arranged marriage; he had other motives.
After lunch, Alice and Lana Parker went to the esports base. Wang Yang's gaming skills had improved rapidly.
Alice remembered the person from her past life; his gameplay was similar to Wang Yang's, as was Jack's, since
the character controls were similar. But there was a way to tell: she'd learned the twelve-hit combo from that
person, who'd never performed it in front of her Alice sat beside Wang Yang.“Can you do the twelve-hit combo?”
“If I could do that, I'd be on the national team,” he said.

practice.”
Alice was surprised.“You practiced the twelve-hit combo?”

“Yes. King is my idol.”
Alice smiled. “He’s my idol too.” The person from her past life had also idolized King; otherwise, he wouldn't be
so familiar with the combo.
Alice spent the afternoon practicing with Wang Yang, trying to determine if he was the person from her past life.
He almost succeeded several times.

“No problem.” Alice waved and headed to the dorm.
Checking her phone, she saw no messages from Jack. Back in her dorm, she saw several shopping bags.

Chapter 305
Lana Parker said, “A delivery; probably your boyfriend.” Alice saw luxury brands; one contained, -boxing gloves-a
limited-edition collaboration. Before, she would have been delighted, but now she just pushed them aside.
Alice showered and saw an unread message; her heart raced. It was from Jack:“[Are you asleep?]”
Alice lay in bed, staring at the message without replying. The betrayal from her family in her past life left deep
scars. She hadn't expected Jack to lie to her. Who could she trust? “The next morning, Alice checked her phone;
he hadn't messaged again. Then, an entertainment news headline popped up:“[Tremaine Heir's Wedding
Imminent.]”
Her chest tightened; her eyes welled up. If he was getting engaged, why was he contacting her? Was he
planning to keep her as a secret mistress for life?
Lana Parker gave her tissues. Alice wiped her tears.“What if I'm the other woman?” “What? Does he have a
girlfriend?”
Alice said wryly, “A fiancée. They're getting married soon.”
“That's awful! Expose him!”
Alice closed her phone.“He’s not an ordinary person; exposing him won't help; people will gold-digging.”
“Don’t let him off easy! Use his own tactics against him.”
Alice looked at Lana Parker.“How?”

Alice lowered her eyes. Not yet.
Mary Parker said, “I can do this. I'm professional.” Mary Parker owed Alice; she wanted to repay
her.
Alice knew the Chen family’s status, but it might not be enough against the Tremaines. Helping her would also

After morning classes, Alice went to the esports base. Wang Yang was there; they played together. Alice saw a
friend request from Jack.
[Friend request to join the team.]” Her eyelids twitched.
