Jack, focused on catching up to Alice, didn’t watch his step. He fell, groaning.
Hearing the sound, Alice turned and rushed back to help him up. “Are you okay? She saw blood on his hand. “I'll
get the first-aid kit.”
Jack grabbed her hand.“Don’t go.”
Alice lowered her head. “Let's stop the bleeding first.”
“I'll cwith you.” Jack stood and followed her.
The gym
owner, seeing Jack injured, said, “The first-aid kit is in my office.”

“No,” Alice refused.”If people find out who you are, | don’t want to be in the headlines. You rarely tookto
crowded places before.” She realized he'd been booking places privately to avoid being recognized.
Jack was speechless.
> Alice left the gym after changing. She felt someone following her but didn’t look back. Once on campus, she hid
behind a tree and looked back. He was at the school entrance, tall and handsome. Two girls approached him for
his contact information.
Alice looked away. What was she hoping for?
“Are you okay?” Mary Parker, sitting on a bench, asked. She looked uneasy. I'm fine.” Mary Parker glanced at the
man at the school gate-the Tremaine heir. She hadn't expected Jack to be the Tremaine heir.
Alice sat beside Mary Parker, who was reading.“Wipe your tears.”
Alice took the tissue Mary Parker offered. Mary Parker hesitated. “Your boyfriend is handsome.” Alice knew Mary

guessed correctly. She'd heard rumors that Jack was poor. Who would have thought he was the Tremaine heir?
“Yes. He lied tofor so long. Alice knew Mary Parker, being from a wealthy family, had interacted with the
Tremaines and probably knew Jack.
Alice looked at Mary Parker.“Did my brother meet Jack?”
“I don’t know, but their circles don’t usually overlap. | only met him a few times as a child.” Jack, with his status,
was busy with work and rarely appeared in public.

from the start.
“From what | know, Daniel is a good, ambitious young man. If you truly love each other, he’ll handle everything.

Alice thought about Mrs. Wilson's kindness; she probably wouldn't like her now.
“Let's talk about. the future later.” Alice couldn't think that far ahead.

Parker, despite appearing quiet and self-deprecating, was decisive. Alice raised an eyebrow.“Ethan will be
unhappy if you show up unannounced.”
Mary Parker pondered.“I'll text him later.”
Alice's phone buzzed. Lewis had posted in the family group chat:“[I've reserved a table at Pear Garden to
celebrate Chloe and me. Let's discuss the engagement.]*
