Alice heard Jack's low voice beside her. His unwavering support carried considerable weight. Mrs. Garcia and Mrs.
Parker's expressions changed; Mrs. Garcia nearly lost control.
Mrs. Garcia's smile tightened.“Jack, it was a childish misunderstanding. There's no need to make a fuss.” She
doubted Jack would hold the Mos accountable, given their families’ ties. Mrs. Parker chimed in.“Yes, your mother
and Mrs. Garcia are close friends. Don’t be so impolite.”
Jack’s tone was cold.“Two separate matters.” The change in his tone made everyone look at Mrs. Garcia
differently.
Mrs. Garcia looked at Alice, her eyes pleading.“Miss Windham, | know Max was wrong. I'll discipline her. |
apologize on her behalf.” Her teary eyes and pleading tone were designed to elicit sympathy.
Alice, having been manipulated by white lotuses in her past life, was immune.“No need for your apology, Mrs.
Garcia. Justice will prevail.”
Mrs. Garcia's face’ fell. Alice was defying her, emboldened by Jack.
Mrs. Garcia said, her voice choked with tears, “Miss Windham, if you drop this, I'll grant any request.”

Someone scolded Alice, “Enough! Mrs. Garcia apologized and offered to fulfill your demands. Don’t push your
luck!”
Before Alice could respond, Jack's face darkened. His stern expression hinted at his displeasure. The man who'd
spoken earlier shrank back.
You're dead wrong,” Jack said.
Wilson Garcia, having overheard, joined the fray.“My sister-in-law cto a party, and that vicious Max, jealous
of her, tried to frher for theft and ruin her reputation. A simple apology isn’t enough! The Mos are so
insincere!”
Mrs. Garcia's tone was sharp.“Mr. Wilson, your words hurt. Max isn’t here, so | apologize. What's wrong with
that?”
“You should have made Max apologize! She made a mistake and hid behind you. That's unacceptable,” Wilson
Garcia retorted, giving the Mos no leeway.
Mrs. Parker tried to smooth things over.”Mr. Wilson, you shouldn't speak to Mrs. Garcia like. that.”
“I'm a child; you adults shouldn't mind my words, right?” Wilson Garcia used moral pressure against her.
Mrs. Garcia, unable to smile, looked at Alice, her eyes cold.”Miss Windham, will you press charges?”
Alice nodded.“Yes. Let the courts decide.” Max was on bail; this could lead to detention.
Mrs. Garcia's demeanor shifted. “If you insist, the Mos will fight it. The video only shows the girl planting the
bracelet; there's no proof Max ordered it. We're not afraid of court.” She'd already ensured the girl wouldn't talk.
Mrs. Parker quickly intervened.“Why make a fuss over a small matter? Miss Windham, be generous; you'll need
to interact with everyone.”

The woman fell silent. Mrs. Garcia realized Jack was determined to protect Alice. “Fine. The Mos are prepared. We
don’t start trouble, but we don’t fear it!” She left. Mrs. Parker turned to Alice.”Miss Windham, do you always
cause trouble at parties? You're embarrassing Mary. Is that appropriate for a friend?”

She couldn't offend Jack and could only stammer a response.“I'll be careful. But you're criticizing Miss
