    Get Boys


    At eight o’clock in the evening, Jalen came back from hispany and saw Alisha standing outside the


    Halton’s Residence.


    “What are you doing here?” Jalen got out of his car and walked over with aplicated expression.

    In fact, Jalen could more or less figure out the reason. The current situation of the Lory family was


    known to everyone in New York. There was only one reason why Alisha came.


    At that moment, Alisha looked a little messy. Her eyes were red as she looked at Jalen who stood in


    front of her. “Jalen, could you help the Lory family for once?”


    “Let’s get in and talk.” Jalen did not agree directly.


    However, Alisha did not move. She stood where she was. “I won’t go in. I came here today just to ask


    for your help.”


    Hearing that, Jalen did not insist. He looked at Alisha and said after a long time, “Sorry, Allie, I can’t


    help you.”


    “Jalen, if you don’t help the Lory family, my father will marry me to the Stein family and exchange my


    lifelong happiness for the cooperation between the two families. Even so, can’t you help me once?”


    Alisha looked at Jalen pleadingly, hoping that Jalen could help her once.


    Jalen frowned and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I will not let you marry into the Stein family.”


    Jalen could not help the Lory family, but he could help Alisha not marry into the Stein family. Jalen


    believed he was able to do so.


    However, it was not what Alisha wanted.


    “Is this really the only way?” She looked at Jalen, who stood in front of her, and felt he was aplete


    stranger.


    Perhaps it was because Alisha had never truly understood Jalen.


    “Allie, although the police did not find out anything about you, you and I both know why Marcus died. I


    have already done my best to not make a move against you.” Jalen felt conflicted being put in a ce


    where he had to make a choice between ina, someone he loved, and Alisha, his friend ever since


    childhood.


    Before, Jalen already felt bad that he did not help ina. If he helped the Lory family now, he would


    push ina away from him.


    Alisha did not exin herself. She knew that the truth of Marcus’ death could not be hidden from


    Jalen, and she was sure that Jalen would not do anything to her. So Alisha dared to frame ina.


    Then Alisha lowered her head and cried softly.


    Jalen noticed but was indifferent.


    After a while, Alisha raised her head and asked Jalen, “Jalen, actually, I have been wanting to ask you


    for so many years. Have you ever liked me?”


    The question came so suddenly that Jalen did not know how to answer.


    Alisha continued, “Before ina appeared, everyone said that we were the perfect couple. At thattime,


    you didn’t refute it. I thought you liked me too.


    “But then you got married and almost didn’t resist at the wedding. At that time, I wondered if you really


    liked me.


    “I went abroad with the sole purpose of pissing you off and waited for you to chase me, but you didn’t.”


    As Alisha spoke, sheughed at herself.


    “When I was abroad, I heard that you and ina had a bad rtionship after marriage. You didn’t even


    go to see her. I felt that you still liked me in your heart.


    “It was only when I returned to New York that I was sure that you had never liked me at all. In your


    heart, I am just a nice friend and a potential wife, right?”


    Jalen listened as Alisha said so many things in one breath, and his face darkened. “Maybe. It is true


    that before ina appeared, I couldn’t even tell what love was.”


    Alisha took a deep breath, not letting her tears fall. “Okay, anyway, I just came today to confirm that.


    Otherwise, I will always be unwilling.


    “It’s fine that you refuse to help the Lory family, but for the sake of our friendship, join me for a few


    drinks. Just treat it as a toast to my lifelong happiness that is about to pass away,” Alisha said.


    “About the Stein family, I can…”


    “No, if I can’t marry you, then it’s the same no matter who I marry. In any case, the Stein family can still


    help my father to save the Lory family. It’s actually quite good.” Alisha smiled, as if she had figured


    everything out.


    Jalen had no choice but to nod. “Think about it carefully.”


    “Are you going for a drink or not? We’ve been friends for so many years. We can still have some wine


    and catch up, right?” Alisha asked.
