Alice straightened up, remembering that Chloe's father had saved her life. So, when Ethan had adopted Chloe,
she didn’t objected. In fact, she had treated Chloe like a sister. But over time, she had realized that Chloe was
subtly taking her brothers away from her. That's why their relationship had soured.
Noah shouted, “Alice, what are you saying? We're doing this for your sake! It's to help you get along with Chloe!
Is it really that hard for you to manage this simple thing? How long are you going to sulk?”
“I'm not sulking.”
Hearing her second brother's words made all the questions she had bottled up inside vanish into thin air. It felt
pointless. She had tried to explain herself in a hysterical way before, but it never worked out. Now, she didn’t
want to let her emotions be swayed by her brothers like in her past life. She wouldn't explain and wouldn't care

Alice packed her textbooks from the coffee table into her backpack. Looking at her packed bag, she softly said,
“If there's nothing else, I'll go to my room.”
Noah sat on the sofa, looking troubled.
“Alice, if you join the team now, we'll overlook about everything that happened before!” When Alice heard this,
she found it laughable. Everything she did in her past life was just a joke. Without looking back, she went
upstairs, her steps- particularly firm. Noah, agitated, lit a cigarette. The housekeeper approached.“Mr. Welch, if
Miss doesn’t want to join, it’s fine. At least Miss Black is there.”
Noah frowned.“It’s not the same.”
“Mr. Welch, I don’t know if I should say this. But Miss hasn't asked about you at all since she cback. She
seems so cold-hearted:; it's heartbreaking to watch!”
Noah snuffed out his cigarette and drove away from the villa.
Alice heard the sound of the car from upstairs, watching her second brother leave, probably heading to the
training camp. After taking a shower alone, she reviewed her mistakes in her study materials. She needed to
work hard to get out of here.
Somehow, Alice ended up staying up all night until dawn. In a hurry, she packed her bag and rushed downstairs,
grabbing a sandwich from the dining room before running out. Noah was the first one downstairs. He frowned
when he saw her.“She’s up early?” “Miss has been taking taxis to school instead of the driver's car. It's because
Miss Black was late on Monday when discussing things with you, she’s been stubborn and hasn't used the
driver's
car since!”
Noah's expression was complicated.
Caleb walked over, “Seriously? Just a little tardiness? So petty. Who is she trying to impress?” Luke
yawned.“Noah, Alice is just putting on a show for you to soften this time, she’ll only get worse in the future!”

Noah didn’t say anything more. He felt Alice should face sconsequences; he had given her a chance, but
she didn’t appreciate it.

Chloe overheard their conversation and smiled, bouncing down the stairs, “Good morning, Noah, Caleb, Luke!
Let’s have breakfast together!”
Seeing Chloe's lively demeanor, Noah's mood lightened considerably. At least this sister hadn't gone astray.
After arriving at school, Alice felt a bit drowsy, having pulled an all-nighter. But during class, she remained
focused, afraid of missing any important points.
During class, the teacher suddenly called on Chloe to answer a question, but Chloe stammered and couldn't
cup with an answer. The teacher sighed, “Chloe, you've been distracted lately. You haven't grasped the
material and you'll suffer on the exam.”
