“Alice, do
you even realize
your
mistake?”
Menu
Alice’s mouth and nose were submerged in water, choking her throat painfully. As she opened her from the brink
of death, she saw her second brother, Noah, on the poolside, along with her fourth brother, Caleb, who was
holding Chloe in his arms.
eyes
A flicker of shock crossed her eyes; this scene felt all too familiar. Had she not died? Was she somehow reborn on
the day three years ago when Chloe was officially adopted by the her family as a foster daughter?
The memory cflooding back: At the banquet, Chloe had deliberately schemed against her, making everyone
believe she had pushed Chloe into the water on purpose. Caleb had been the first to notice them, but he only
saved Chloe, leaving Alice, who couldn't swim, to struggle on her own in the water. And then, Noah was pressing
Alice to admit her fault, implying that if she didn’t, he wouldn't save her.
Desperately, she struggled in the water, begging for forgiveness, pleading with her brothers to rescue her. It was
only at the point of near death that she was finally pulled out.

From that moment on, she dared not provoke Chloe again, carefully trying to please her brothers at home, but
what did she ultimately gain?
Chloe stole Alice’s thesis, and Noah testified for Chloe, branding Alice a plagiarist and getting her expelled.
When Chloe needed a kidney transplant due to her poor health, Alice’s third brother, Alex, personally took Alice
to the operating room to give Chloe a kidney.
When Chloe needed to boost her international competition results, her other brothers—the forth brother Caleb,
the fifth brother Finn, and the sixth brother Luke-had unceremoniously kicked Alice off the team.
Alice discovered evidence of Chloe's plagiarism and forged medical records and brought it to her eldest brother,
hoping to expose Chloe's true nature.
But instead, she stirred up public outrage; no one believed her, and they didn’t even bother to look at the
evidence closely.
Eldest brother Ethan kicked her out of the house to reflect on her actions. She found herself homeless, penniless,
and suffering greatly.
As memories flooded back, Alice gave up struggling and sank directly to the bottom of the pool. She opened her
eyes wide, her expression blank, as if she had already died. She watched her brothers gathered around Chloe on
the shore, and even seeing it again, her heart still ached with piercing pain.
How ridiculous.
She,
as
their biological
sister,
couldn't
even
compare
with an
outsider.
On the deck, Noah had been entirely focused on Chloe, and only when he no longer heard Alice's struggles did
he turn to look at the pool-Alice had already sunk to the bottom. Upon seeing this, Noah's face turned
pale: “Alice!”
Without a second thought, he jumped into the water.
When Chloe saw Alice sink, a glimmer of delight flashed in her eyes; it would be better if Alice

died. She feigned weakness, tugging at fourth brother Caleb's sleeve, saying weakly, “Caleb... | want to save
Alice, too. She fell into the water because of me.”
Caleb, who had been worried, quickly reassured Chloe, “Don’t be ridiculous. Noah's got it. Alice's just reaping
what she sowed. She won't die!” He turned his gaze back to the pool, his expression complex.
that Underwater, Alice saw Noah swimming towards her, his face etched with worry, a worry seemed genuine.
Just moments ago, he had been forcing her to admit her fault, coldly observing her struggle in the water.
This time, she didn’t care for his rescue. A hint of sarcasm flickered in Alice's eyes as she turned and swam away
from the surface.
After the drowning incident in her past life, Noah had forced her to learn swimming with Chloe. She had already
been left with a trauma, but to please Noah, she had pushed through her fear and learned to swim, but Noah
only praised Chloe’s bravery, ignoring Alice's silent struggle. Little did he know, that minute Alice was
intentionally left in the water had left her with severe aftereffects.

cared about her well-being; Noah's eyes “Alice, what's this charade? Do you think pretending to drown will erase
the mistake you just made?” Noah blocked her path, feeling that Alice seemed to have changed significantly.
When did she learn to swim?
Alice looked up at Noah, who had once been her favorite. Her older brother, Ethan, had always been strict, but
Noah had been a little bit kinder to her. Now, however, Noah's eyes were filled with disgust and impatience.
Chloe's soft voice cut through the air.“Noah, it's not Alice’s fault. | know she never likedjoining the family. it
was my greed that ledto hope for family. Please don’t argue because of me; you're all so important to me...”
