Chapter 117 – Alice Carter Wants to Become a Disciple
"John?"
Hearing the name, Bertha froze mid-action, a stunned expression replacing her fury. She blinked and turned to Alice. "Alice... did you just say this guy is John Lopez?"
Alice gave her a theatrical roll of the eyes. "If this shameless man isn't John, then who is he? Did you seriously think he was my boyfriend?"
Bertha stared at John again—this time, really looking at him.
Her anger slowly melted away, and her eyes began to shimmer with tears.
Yes.
It was him.
He didn't just resemble John—he was John Lopez.
No wonder he'd acted so oddly that day by the Hudson River. She realized now: he had been teasing her the whole time.
She hadn't figured it out until this very moment.
John chuckled. "Bertha, if I weren't really your brother, John Lopez, how would I have had the guts to mess with you like that? Everyone knows—you don't go pulling a lion's tail."
