Chapter 217
Alice was shocked when Caleb hit Chloe. Caleb had always been kind to Chloe, even letting her bully Alice. He’d sided with Chloe when they’d clashed in the infirmary. He’d even slapped Alice. Why the sudden change? Alice didn’t feel happy; she just thought he was even crazier. Chloe, eyes brimming with tears, hadn’t expected this either. Caleb said coldly, “Apologize. Don’t waste my time.”
Chloe, sobbing, said, “Sister Alice, it’s my fault. I wrongly copied your ideas and influenced Brother and the others to you.”
Alice felt no emotion. Caleb looked at Alice, his tone gentler.“I saw the video. It was Chloe’s fault. It has nothing to do with you.”
Alice found this ridiculous. They thought a simple apology would erase everything? Her voice was cold.“I understand. Are you finished?”
“Alice, Caleb explained everything, and Chloe apologized. Don’t stay angry. It’s causing family. problems,” Caleb said, more like a threat than a plea.
Alice raised an eyebrow.“I’m not angry. The family mistreated me. Why should I
go back?
“You’re right. I’ll talk to Brother. Don’t worry.” Caleb waved dismissively. “You’re meeting friends for dinner, right? Go.”
Alice left without looking back. Caleb’s smile vanished. He looked at Chloe.“Was I unkind to you? I hate being lied to. Remember?”
Chloe, tears in her eyes, finally understood Caleb’s nature. He’d been kind to her, making her forget his temper. Her plan at the party backfired.
Caleb’s tone softened.“Ice your face. I’ll give you a role in my new movie. Here’s the script.”
“Thank you, Brother Four. Chloe was delighted.
“It’s nothing. You helped me when I was attacked by my enemies.” Chloe lowered her eyes, hiding her guilt. Alice had actually summoned help. But she couldn’t admit it. Caleb had disliked her, but changed after that incident. She wouldn’t reveal the truth. Everything she had was deserved.
Alice stepped out of the van, breathing in the fresh air. She looked back at the van, her eyes cold. She wouldn’t let this continue. She only cooperated with Caleb’s interview because she feared. he’d target Jiang Lu.
After dinner, Alice returned to the dorm. Guoguo told her, “Caleb posted the interview video on Weibo.”
The title:“[Introducing my sister who ‘assaulted‘ me!]”
Guoguo said hesitantly, “Caleb’s rival for the Best Actor award was recently accused of domestic violence by his ex–girlfriend. Caleb’s video is perfectly timed and cleverly worded.”
Alice sneered. “Yes. My brother never does anything without profit.” He explained his injury, tarnished his rival, gained public sympathy, and forced her to cooperate. Four birds with one stone. But he claimed he’d come to reconcile. She’d never understood him in her
past life. She’d thought they were close, but he abandoned her when she threatened his interests.
Alice opened WhatsApp, seeing Mo’s message from yesterday about something important. She’d forgotten. She saw a missed call from Mo–Jack had answered.
She texted Jack, “Does Mo have a girlfriend?”

Chapter 217
Jack felt a sense of unease. “No. Why ask?”
“Does he have someone he likes?”
Jack sat up. He called Alice. She answered immediately.“Hello.”
Jack hesitated.“Why are you asking so much about Mo’s love life?” His jaw tightened.
Alice hesitated.“Nothing. Just curious.” Maybe she was overthinking.
Jack narrowed his eyes. “There’s a
a reason. You wouldn’t ask out of the blue.”
Alice said, “You answered Mo’s call last night, right?”
“Yes.”
“What did he say?”
Jack’s lips thinned.“Nothing.”
“Really?”
“What do you think he’d say?”
Alice replied, “If I knew, I wouldn’t ask you.”
Jack thought Mo hadn’t had a chance to speak. Good. They fell silent. Jack said, “Get some rest.
“Okay. Bye.”
Alice hung up, deciding to go boxing. If she was stronger, she could have resisted yesterday. Several sponsors called, wanting to sponsor the team. It was because of Caleb’s video; everyone knew she was a famous actor’s sister. It felt disgusting. Caleb had done this on purpose
Alice checked the team’s expenses; they needed sponsors. Jack called, his voice low.“Short on cash?”
“I’m not. The team is. I had a conflict with Max. Mo withdrew their sponsorship and pressured other companies.”
“I could sponsor you. Why not ask?”
Alice hesitated.“I wanted to see if I could get sponsors without connections.”
“Using connections is a skill. Don’t be so naive.”
Alice smiled.“Thanks for the sponsorship, Boss.”
She hung up, but someone sprayed white confetti on her.“Alice, drop the charges! Let our brother go!” They held Luke’s fan signs.
She grabbed the confetti. Caleb rushed out, shielding her.
“Everyone, listen! Luke’s case is under investigation. It has nothing to do with.
my
sister.”
“We heard Alice pressed charges! What a terrible sister!”
“You misunderstood. She wouldn’t do that. She’s not like that,” Caleb said, smiling at Alice. “Right? Explain it.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice)
This story is incomplete!!! You get us into the story then you leave us with a cliff hanger. Plus there's so many errors. It is obvious that English is second ( or 3rd) language. Author has mixed up names on several characters. Mixed up he/she , him/her. Made story too long by repetitive sentences. Made it look like the reader wasnt able to retain parts of the story by repeating certain aspects. I know authors do that but this author did it too often. This story lets you see what an eye for an eye would mean to some cultures. Needs MAJOR proof reading. Pro: great family drama. The one emotion you feel the most in this story is anger & discuss. There are a few funny (actually hilarious) parts in there. You want the good guy to win even though he may been at fault for something. You want justice for Alice and you want to see her independent from her brothers totally. I feel the author is on the right track but just needs to clean it up....
Except Alice's and Jack's names, all other names are mixed. And why there is LUKE'S FATHER instead of EATHEN...
I want yo ask that wht Alice's surname is keep on changing from Wolsh to Windham to Lu???? And Andrew to Garett? And Jane's name to Chloe as well...
