Chapter 292 Alice felt a surge of satisfaction seeing Ethans expression .
Her guess had been right .
He hadnt answered the phone to avoid responsibility for the amputation .
Even though Lawrence had exposed him , Ethan wouldnt admit it .
If she was supposed to back down and let Chloe go , Ethan should pay a price .
Ethan swallowed his anger .
Alice , that was years ago .
Do we need to keep bringing it up ? I can compensate you .
I dont need compensation , Alice said softly .
Mr .
Land , you said family comes first , and sacrificing for family is okay .
This time , its your turn to sacrifice .
Shed been the one sacrificing before ; now she wanted to see if hed live up to his words .
Ethan gripped the seat .
Havent I sacrificed enough for the Land family ? That was your duty .
Besides , Chloes father helped the Land family .
Whats a little sacrifice ? You said we should show gratitude .
Ethan almost spat blood .
Hed said those words , but he hadnt intended to be bound by them .
Alice smirked .
Thats my condition .
Give me an answer before the police investigation .
She left .
Ethan raged but could only watch her go .
He fumed , I dont understand .
Is Alice really my sister ? Why does she constantly make things difficult for me ? His secretary , Davis , said , Boss , Ms.
Alice didnt cause the trouble , but shes the one who has to compromise .
Anyone would be upset .
Davis was assigned by Nathan to keep an eye on Ethan .
Ethan was silent .
Davis continued , Boss , since Ms.
Alice is your real sister, your treatment of Chloe seems … odd .
You dont understand , Ethan said , his head aching as he thought about Chloes identity .
So much time had passed .
Now Lewis liked Chloe , making things even harder .
Alice went to the gym .
She went to the boxing room and punched the heavy bag .
If it werent for exposing the person behind Chloe , shed have cut ties with the Lands .
Alice felt frustrated , remembering her past life .
She hadnt expected Lewis to like Chloe .
Did Ethan like her too ? Dont you want your hands anymore ? A cold voice interrupted .
Someone had stopped the bag .
Alice , breathless , looked up .
Seeing Jack , her eyes lit up .
Youre back ? She hadnt told him about the Land family drama .

His presence made her happy .
Alice hugged him , wiping her sweat on his white shirt .
Jack noticed , but didnt mind .
He hugged her back ; neither spoke , enjoying the quiet .
Alice breathed in his scent , feeling calm .
She closed her eyes ; her frustration eased .
She truly loved this man .
Jack felt relieved ; hed been worried about Alice .
Hed learned about the Land family drama from Mandy and rushed back.
Alice hadnt told him anything .
He understood her stubbornness but félt sorry she was struggling so much .
18:30 2 83.2 % Chapter 292 Jack sighed .
Why are you upset ? Because of the Land family Alice dung to him , Jack , seeing her distress , didnt press further .
After a while , Alice calmed down and let go , looking at him sheepishly .
She pinched his cheek , he was still handsome .
Just looking at him improved her mood , Jack held her hand , removing her gloves and rubbing her wrists .
Dont hit the bay , so hard , your wrists will hurt .
How do you know ? I watched you for a while .
After landing , Jack had called Alice but got no answer .
He learned she was at the gym .
He saw her hitting the bag and knew she was troubled .
He waited until shed finished before approaching , Alice rested on the floor as Jack used a massage gun to relax her muscles .
She enjoyed it .
After an hour , Jack put down the gun .
Hungry ? A little .
What do you want to eat ? If you dont have preferences , lets go to Pear Garden ! Alice nodded .
She suddenly remembered something I didnt tell you , we have a new roommate .
Yes , you said she had mobility issues .
Jack looked at Alice .
Someone from the Chen family ? Youre clever .
Its the Chen family heiress , my brothers fiancée .
Alice hadnt thought much of it ; many people are named Chen .
But it was a coincidence .
Jack became alert .
What are the Chens planning ? I dont know , but Mandy said they arranged this to make me connect with them .
But my relationship with the Lands soured too quickly.
Jack agreed with Mandys assessment .
Alice said , Ill be careful and avoid contact with our new roommate .
She didnt want to be backstabbed again .
Jack handed her water .
But thats not whats bothering you .
The foundation .
Alice told Jack everything that happened at the foundation .
He knew from Mandy , but not about last nights events .
He was surprised .
Your fifth brother likes Chloe ? He lost his mind , not just his leg .
Who would want someone like Chloe ? Alice drank some water .
I dont know , but I have a guess .
Lewiss personality changed after his injury .
Chloe is good at flattering people , making her seem unique to Lewis .
Jack was dismissive .
Chloe wanted to marry Garrett .
Why would she marry your fifth brother ? Chloe always has many suitors , but she only pursued Garrett relentlessly .
Dealing with a simp like Lewis is easy .
Chloes goal was clear : marry into wealth .
Alice said , If I werent investigating the person behind Chloe , I wouldnt have compromised .
* Did you find a clue ? Alice nodded .
She saw Mandy and her team hesitating in the hallway .
She blushed and stood .
I have a meeting with Ms.
Mandy .
36 Chapter 202 Menu Mandy approached with a laptop .
Ms .
Alice , we found the mans information .
Hes from the same hometown as Chloes father ; theyre related .
Alice straightened .
