Chapter 317 Seeing Jacks dark expression , Alice felt a little satisfied .
She turned and walked towards the elevator .
Steady footsteps followed ; she didnt need to guess who it was .
Alice entered the elevator , noticing Jack behind her .
They stood close , a fists width between them .
The elevator was quiet .
Alice saw their reflections in the elevator doors , meeting his dark gaze before quickly looking away .
She felt his intense gaze but refused to look up .
Jack looked at her helplessly , his gaze lingering on her delicate profile .
He hadnt slept well for days .
All he could see were images of her angry face and the words were breaking up .
Hed never been this stressed , but he couldnt do anything about it .
The elevator doors opened .
Before Jack could speak , Alice stepped out , without looking back .
He chased after her , frustrated .
Wait , Ill take you back .
No need for that , Mr.
Wilson .
There are plenty of taxis here .
Alice turned to him , her gaze and tone distant .
Jack sighed .
I need to talk to you .
I think weve said everything we need to say .
Alice turned to leave , but he pulled her back , and she bumped into his chest .
She tried to struggle , but his arms were tight .
Alice said , Jack .
Im here .
Youre shameless .
Jack didnt respond .
Shameless was fine ; it was better than losing his girlfriend A luxury car pulled up , the window rolling down .
Miss Windham .
Seeing Mrs.
Parker , Alice blushed and pushed Jack away .
She pushed him hard , catching him off guard , and he almost fell .
Jack , slightly flustered , looked at Mrs.
Parker .
Mrs .
Parker , is something the matter ? His eyes were displeased .
If Mrs.
Parker hadnt appeared , he would have already gotten Alice into his car .
Why did this have to happen now ? Mrs.
Parker saw his displeasure and realized shed interrupted something .
She hadnt noticed Jack was with Alice .
After the incident at Pear Orchard , Madam Wilson must know who Jack was protecting .
Why hadnt they broken up yet ? Jacks protective attitude suggested it wouldnt be easy to separate them .
Mrs.
Parker apologized .
Sorry , I didnt see Mr.
Wilson .
I wanted to talk to Miss Windham .
Alice was curious .
Shed only met Mrs.
Parker once .
What is it , Mrs.
Parker ? I heard about Chloe , the Windham familys adopted daughter .

She seems very close to your brothers .
Your eldest brother has cleaned up her messes several times .
Alice guessed Mrs.
Parkers intention .
She smiled .
You know my parents died in a car accident , and Chloes father , the driver , also died .
My eldest brother took Chloe in , so theyre close ; he protects her .
More than protects ! He ignores you and favors her .
If she werent adopted , Id think he had feelings for her .
Jacks tone was sarcastic , openly slandering Ethan and Chloe .
Mrs.
Parker frowned .
Ethan doesnt seem that clueless .
If he were , the Parker family wouldnt have agreed to him being their son in law .
Jacks eyes were cold .
Mrs.
Parker , a little investigation will show the Windham familys favoritism .
Its not just gossips its true Mrs.
Parker said nothing Jack continued .
Mrs .
Parker , if youre choosing , a son in law , you should re evaluate his character .
He didnt think Ethan was suitable .
Alice felt the same .
Jacks car pulled over .
He pulled Alice into the car ..
Alice looked at Mrs.
Parkers car Didnt the Parker family investigate Ethan or the Windham familys situation ? They live in S City .
Even if you investigate , youll only find that you have a bad reputation .
Jack turned to her .
And about character … a man can easily hide it .
He immediately regretted saying that .
Alice raised an eyebrow .
Mr .
Wilson is right .
You seem to know yourself well .
Jack was speechless .
Hed shot himself in the foot .
He said weakly , I … I dont want to take advantage of your familys wealth and power .
Youre afraid Ill be interested in your wealth and status ? Im not afraid ! As long as you promise not to get angry and not break up , your name .
Well share everything after marriage .
Ill put all my assets in Alices face flushed .
Who wants to marry you ? I want to break up .
Hearing break up , Jack fell silent .
He didnt agree .
Alice looked out the window , at his reflection .
She felt suffocated .
She couldnt ignore his deception .
They arrived at the school .
Alice got out without looking back .
Jack watched her go , rubbing his temples and loosening his tic .
He had a lot of explaining to do .
The priority was preventing his mother from adopting Alice .
He didnt need another sister .
Back in the dorm , Alice was distracted .
Seeing Mary , she wanted to ask about Ethans explanation .
Mary knew what she wanted to ask .
Your brother explained for a long time , clarifying he had nothing to do with Chloe , treating her only as a sister , and that shes engaged to Finn .
Alice wasnt surprised .
You saw what the Windham family is like today .
Marys eyes were clear .
Im breaking up with your brother .
She hadnt liked him that much to begin with , but today shed witnessed everything .
Ethan lied and favored Chloe , blaming Alice for the dress incident .
The rumors about Alice were false .
Alice relaxed .
I think you and your brother arent suitable .
Hes ambitious .
He wouldnt stay a son in law forever .
He was using Mary .
But now she knew better , she wouldnt be deceived .
The next few days , Alice prepared for the campus competition .
Sponsors attended the preliminary rounds .
Seeing Julia , Alice felt a pang ; she remembered their meeting at the cafe .
Shed been heartbroken .
Julia smiled .
Miss Windham , you seem much better .
Look forward , not back .
Im glad to see youve recovered and started a new life .
Chapter 317 Alice stared at Julia , smirking .
I heard Miss Garcia and the Wilson family are getting married on ? It was supposed to be low key , but the paparazzi got wind of it .
Julia touched her hair , smiling .
Jack and I have been childhood sweethearts ; no matter what happens , were getting married .
Oh really ? But why did Auntie Wilson say youre not engaged ? Julias smile faltered .
