Meanwhile, Jack looked at the he received, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“Jack, who's texting you?”
Jack locked his phone.
Andrew raised an eyebrow.“Judging by the profile picture, it's a girl. Could it be that girl you helped the other
day, the one named...Alice, right?”
“You talk too much.”
“I know you're hiding something. You were working overtat the infirmary all last week, then suddenly
stopped. You've been sulking these days; did you have a falling out with her?”

Jack turned his head, his eyes dangerous.“Don’t be curious about my business.”
“We grew up together! There's nothing I don’t know about you. Stop pretending!”
Jack took his phone to the balcony. He looked down at the chat. In her eyes, was the infirmary a secret base? He
instinctively smiled, opening her Moments. It was mostly casual shares, very girly. After a while, he suddenly
realized he had lingered too long on her profile; it felt a bit out of control.
Jack exited the chat and went back inside.
Alice waited all d

but received no reply. Was he mad? She didn’t dare message him again, deciding to wait until Monday when the
exam results cout.
The entire weekend, Alice stayed hstudying. Chloe and the brothers didn’t cback either; they were
staying at the training camp.
-Monday morning.
Alice went downstairs and finally saw Chloe and her brothers. They were laughing and chatting, clearly closer
than ever. Alice said nothing, heading straight to the dining room for breakfast. Luke's tone dripped with
sarcasm: “Results are out today, right?”
Alice nodded. “Yes.”

“I told you to join the team. With your grades, you
into get any good college anyway. Instead of wasting tstudying, you might as well train to be a pro gamer.
With the resources the Welch family provides, becoming famous is only a matter of time. Too bad you didn’t
seize that chance; now Chloe has it.”
Alice remembered the humiliation of being replaced in her past
life.
She replied calmly, “I don’t care.”
After grabbing breakfast, Alice left the hall.

Seeing Alice's indifferent demeanor, Luke was furious:“I can’t wait to see her ‘great results’.” Chloe, seeing Alice
hadn't agreed to join the team, breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Alice was naturally talented at gaming; if
Alice joined, she’d be out of a spot! But she still smiled and said, “Luke, don’t be angry. Alice is just throwing a
tantrum. Once she agrees to join the team, I'll gladly give her my spot.”

Luke nodded approvingly.“You're the most understanding!”

The smile on Chloe's face faltered; she was deeply resentful. She'd been practicing furiously to gain Luke's
approval, only to find that he still seemed to think Alice was better. She made a silent vow to achieve success in
gaming, to crush Luke’s desire for Alice to join the team. Luke looked worried; the revival match was crucial, and
if they lost, there would be no second chances. Although Chloe was trying hard, her gaming talent just wasn’t
enough. With only a month left until the revival match, Chloe's skills were nowhere near sufficient. To beat that
kid from the Wilson family, they needed someone with real skill! And Alice was the only one. But he couldn't
bring himself to beg her. For years, Alice had revolved around him, timidly trying to please him. He was so used
to their sibling dynamic that he couldn't change it overnight. How long was Alice going to throw a tantrum? Did
she have to force him to back down?
