Chapter 106: Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Alice’s pupils constricted at the sight of her brother. She’d always feared his sternness. Whenever he returned, she’d avoid him, fearing his wrath. But after he’d kicked her out in her past life, she’d given up hope.

She looked at him, her expression cold. “The meeting’s over. Naturally, I’m leaving.” “Where to?” Ethan’s gaze was icy, radiating authority.

Luke quickly stepped in to mediate.“Home, of course. Where else would she go, Alice?” He frantically winked at at Alice, hoping she’d soften, fearing her brother’s wrath.

Chloe chimed in, feigning concern. “Alice, since Big Brother’s back, why don’t you stop making a fuss?”

Luke frowned at Chloe. Why did she have to say that? She knew Alice was stubborn.

Alice raised an eyebrow, her eyes dark and cold. I’m living independently now.”

“Alice, have you gone mad?” Luke hadn’t expected her defiance. Ethan had given her an opportunity, but she’d missed it.

Alice’s tone was unmoved.“I’m perfectly lucid.”

Ethan’s face darkened.“Alice, I didn’t believe you’d do these outrageous things. In just a few months, that school nurse has corrupted you!”

“I’m fed up with everything about the Winds. It has nothing to do with Jack.” “You think I’ll believe that?” Ethan’s face hardened.“But you’ll never see that man again, Alice’s face paled. “Brother, what are you going to do to him?”

“What I do depends on your behavior. Unfortunately, you failed my test. I’ll use my own methods to make you obedient.”

Seeing the bodyguards in the hallway, she understood. She turned to Luke, her eyes. red–rimmed. “This was a trap?

Luke tried to explain, Alice, I didn’t expect Big Brother to show up at the hospital.”

“Enough. Your expMarytions are sickening.” She felt a chill run down her spine. To them, she was never a person, just a puppet, always following their script.

Ethan thundered, “Alice, don’t think that just because you’re the top student, you’ve suddenly grown wings. If it weren’t for me, th cheating accusation would’ve ruined you!”

Alice remained impassive.“First, I didn’t cheat, so I don’t need you to cover it up.”

*Still denying it! Your grades were always mediocre. You think your sudden improvement makes you untouchable?” Ethan didn’t believe in her improvement.

Luke intervened, “Brother, Alice’s improvement is due to hard work. Her teachers say she’s capable. I believe she didn’t cheat.”

“Enough! You and Luke are manipulated by her. She throws a tantrum, and you let her? Chloe told me everything. Don’t try to hide it.” Ethan was furious.

Luke and Luke looked at Chloe, both feeling uneasy. They’d agreed not to tell Big Brother. Why had Chloe done this? For the first time, they felt betrayed. Chloe, so understanding, would do this?

Sensing their reaction, Chloe stammered, “I’m sorry. I accidentally let it slip. It’s Ethan waved a hand dismissively.“Chloe, it’s not your fault. Your brothers forced. They’re to blame!”

Luke and Luke felt suffocated.

my fault.”

you to lie.

Luke said, “Brother, Alice running away is my fault. I treated her badly, bullied her, causing her pain. He realized how wrong he’d been and wanted to make amends. He looked at Alice awkwardly.“It’s all my fault. I won’t do it again.” He swore it. He didn’t want to lose his only sister. Alice’s lips curled into a sneer at Luke’s apology. “Too little, too late. Move aside, I’m leaving!”

But the bodyguards blocked her way.

Ethan answered a call. ‘Alice, you can’t leave yet. The education board is coming to investigate the cheating allegations. Keep your attitude in check, or even the Winds can’t protect you.”

Alice was confused. The investigation was already over! The principal said to wait for the results! Why again? Something felt wrong.

Chloe, overjoyed at the renewed investigation, said, feigning concern, “Alice, just confess. The punishment will be lighter.”

Luke glared at Chloe.“What nonsense are you talking about? Alice didn’t cheat!” What was wrong with Chloe? Why keep attacking Alice?

Chloe immediately feigned victimhood.“Brother Two, I’m doing this for Alice.” Ethan immediately protected Chloe, looking at Luke.“Chloe is right. You spoil Alice too much.” Luke was frustrated. Seeing Chloe’s innocent act with Ethan, he finally understood Alice’s feelings. No wonder she was heartbroken and wanted to leave.

Luke coldly looked at Chloe. “Before the investigation is over, don’t say things that cause misunderstandings.”

“Brother Two, I...”

Shut up, I don’t want to hear your expMarytions.” Luke’s mood was foul. Chloe could only shut her mouth, but with Ethan supporting her, others would listen to him.

Alice, seeing Luke defend her, found it ironic. Maybe he’d seen Chloe’s true colors, but she didn’t care anymore. She secretly pulled out her phone to text Jack “What are you doing?”

Ethan snatched her phone. Texting him is pointless. He won’t come.”

to do with him.”

Alice’s face was icy.“I’ve said it already, this has nothing to “Wait for the investigators, then try that defiant attitude again!” Ethan put the phone in his pocket.“A cheating accusation will result in a five–year ban. You’ll be dependent on the Winds for life. Do you think that school nurse will support you forever?”

Alice suddenly laughed, a cold, chilling sound. Her eyes were sharp. “A burden? Without me, Luke’s team wouldn’t have reached the finals. Without me, Luke’s project wouldn’t have solved the firewall issue! I’m so sick of your superior attitude!”
