Chapter 11
“She had a fever of nearly forty degrees, what are you guys doing?” I couldn’t take it anymore as the girl was inside getting an IV drip, so I angrily threw the medical record onto Calvin, “Don’t you treat people like human beings?”
Calvin lowered his gaze, smiling nonchalantly, “Are you a saint? You’re nice to everyone.”
I was stunned for a moment.
He continued, “Be good to Andy, be good to Lucas, be good to Hugo. Even be good to the girl who stole all the peo- ple who liked you.”

“Was your kindness wholesale, so cheap?”
I had never heard Calvin speak to me like that before.
Harsh, sharp, cutting, malicious.
I chuckled and took out my phone to call Hugo, “Talia is in the hospital, Calvin is going crazy. Can you come over sometime?”
After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone and sent the specific location.
Calvin suddenly grabbed my wrist and his voice trembled, “In your eyes, Hugo is gentle and responsible, Lucas is a rebellious and mischievous younger brother, and you care a lot for Andy because of his difficult childhood. What about me?!”
I shook off his hand and pointed inside the ward, saying, “So what? Is this your reason for disregarding someone’s life?”
Calvin let out a gentle sigh.
He calmed down and smiled sarcastically, “Innocent? She wanted money in the first place, and now she’s got it, hasn’t she?”
I sat down on the chair and didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
He persisted, his eyes turning red at the corners. “Alice, are you questioning me just because of this person?”
I tried to force a smile and softened my tone: “Isn’t she the one you like? Can’t Alice take care of her for you? Other- wise, you’ll be the one regretting if something goes wrong.”
His voice hoarse, “You kept saying that I like her, but in fact you never cared about my feelings.”
The momentum and the rhetoric reminded me of Lucas in the group.
I trembled as I spoke, “Are you and Lucas taking turns going crazy?”

No wonder he was the villain.
One, two, three, all were sick, and they were seriously ill.
On a rainy day, there were not many people in the hospital.
I moved Talia to a higher ward, where there were fewer people in the hallway.
“I didn’t like Talia,” Calvin said lightly as he sat down next to me after a long time. “I just thought it was fun.”
I see.
If you really liked someone, how could you stand by and watch so coldly, so cruelly?
I raised my arms and asked, “What happened to make you suddenly act this way towards her?”

I can’t believe nothing happened. Talia was so emotional, running around in the pouring rain, while Calvin remained so indifferent.
“She looked through my phone messages without permission, he said casually.”
I saw their group in my mind.
And Calvin’s closing remark: “I know I can’t have her, so getting a substitute is not bad either. At least I won’t be like you, always wanting both, like a mad dog.”
Did the girl’s self–esteem take a hit after seeing the chat records?
I didn’t ask much, just subtly reminded, “You guys provoked them first, right? Since you disrupted their life trajecto- ry, you should treat them well.”
A faint sound came from the ward at that time.
I hurried inside.
Struggling to prop herself up, Talia locked eyes with me, her expression frozen.
I walked over to help her adjust the pillow, “Don’t run around in the future, it’s very dangerous.”
She looked at me with a pair of deer–like eyes, looking confused.
Until Calvin followed me in.
Talia’s eyes welled up with tears and she cast her gaze downward.
The person also woke up, I didn’t need to stay any longer, “I’m leaving now.”
“If I collapsed in front of your car, would you save me? Calvin stared at me the whole time.”
I shook my head and said, “This question is meaningless.”
After saying that, I turned around.

He followed me out of the ward again, almost stubbornly asking, “When I was young before, now that I am an adult, why didn’t you choose me for marriage? Why did you choose to marry someone else?”
I rubbed my forehead in confusion, “You all were circling around Talia at first, and now you’re saying these things to me. It’s one thing after another. Is the world revolving around you all?”
Calvin remained silent for a long time, “If Talia is gone, everything will be different now. Will you choose me?”
“No,” I said firmly, “Because your approval means nothing to me.”
“What did you say?” came a deep voice from behind.
I turned around.
With just one glance, I almost fainted. “I told Hugo to come alone, how come everyone is here?”
Lucas sneered, “Is this how you welcome me?”
“Alright. Since everyone is here, I’ll leave first. Take care of the family.“.
Lucas grabbed my arm and said in a harsh voice, “Do you understand clearly? You two are rivals!”
I was stunned, and my voice unconsciously raised: “If I liked you guys, then I would be in a love rival relationship with her! The fact is, even if you guys died, I wouldn’t shed a tear, and I’m still a love rival? Are you crazy, Lucas? Did all your intelligence go to your brother?”
Lucas clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the wall. He turned around to find the other three people indiffer- ent, “Are you all mute? She said so!”
“I knew it a long time ago,” Andy chuckled lightly, walking over to me. “It’s pouring outside. Shall I take you home?”
“The driver was waiting for me downstairs.” I refused.
Lucas wanted to say something else, but Calvin pursed his lips and said, “Eric, don’t go crazy here. She cares more about the person in the hospital room than us.”
Lucas suddenly said, “I sent Talia abroad, can you please not tell my brother…”
“Lucas,” I interrupted him, pulling out an old phone from my bag.
In front of all of them.
I opened the group and held it up to them, saying, “Lucas, you haven’t logged into this account again, so it has been on my phone all this time. I have seen all the chat records in the group.”
“What did you say?” Lucas stood completely stunned in place, unable to believe it.
Andy and Calvin’s expressions also froze.
Only Hugo remained silent up to now. His gaze fell on the screen, his brows furrowed, but there was no obvious emo-

“And,” I smiled slightly, “you guys, I found dirty.”
Lucas whispered, “I have never slept with anyone else, Alice.”

Perhaps he didn’t even notice himself that there was a hint of grievance and anxiety in his tone.
“Your despicable character will not change because of this,” I sneered, “If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have in- tervened when you were fighting in the alley. If you died, it would have been for the greater good.”
Lucas’s pupils suddenly contracted, as if pierced by ice picks through his heart, and even his breath froze in his throat. He staggered back two steps, pleading, “Alice, I was just messing around… Those words were just thoughtless words that slipped out of my mouth.”
I looked around at the people carefully and said, “You guys are really a bunch of scum.”
After saying that, I turned around and left.
The next second, Calvin’s fist landed on Lucas’s face in a burst of anger.
Hugo calmly commented on the side, “Two idiots.”
“Do you fucking think you’re sober?” Lucas shouted.
A mess.
Someone’s fist hit Hugo in the face again.
I thought inappropriately that I would fight in the hospital, and after the fight, I went straight to the hospital. It was quite efficient.
Only Andy still followed up.
“Do I have to marry Eric?” he insisted, with a dark cloud in his eyes.
“Yes.”
“You won’t be happy, Andy sneered.”
“Really? I thought it would.”
Successfully taking over the Jensen Group’s shares from my father’s hands and becoming the largest shareholder, I am the happiest person in the world.
I walked into the rain without looking back, holding an umbrella.
