* Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Menu Alice took a taxi home. As she stepped into the hall, she heard Chloeâs voice, sounding all cheerful and cozy. But the moment she appeared, the atmosphere turned as stiff as a board. With a blank expression, Alice walked through the hall, planning to head straight to her room. Caleb shouted, âAlice, you stop right there! You donât even greet your elders when you get home? Is that how you behave now? Donât think that school doctor is shield and that you can threaten to call the police. Outside the Welch family, youâre nothing!â The more Caleb spoke, the angrier he got, standing up to emphasize his point. âYou think we favor Chloe? Look at what youâve done to her! Her father saved your life, and weâre just repaying that debt for you!â
your Alice felt utterly drained. She stopped and looked towards the sofa.âNoah, Caleb, Iâm back.â Was that enough?
Noah said, âDinnerâs ready.â
âYou guys eat. Iâm not hungry.â Alice replied, turning to go upstairs.
âNoah, look at her attitude! Sheâs getting more and more out of control!â Chloe piped up, âCaleb, donât be angry. Itâs all my fault. Maybe if I leave the Welch family, Alice wonât be so stubborn.â
âDonât be silly. If anyone leaves, itâs Alice, not you.â
Alice heard their conversation as she hurried to her room and locked the door. Leaning against the door, she took a moment to breathe, her eyes stinging with tears. She looked up at the ceiling forcing the tears back. This time, she wouldnât cling to the nonsense of sibling bonds.
The next day, Alice went to school as usual. Chloe shared a ride with her.
Chloe asked cautiously, âAlice, are you still angry?â
âChloe, donât you ever get tired of acting all the time?â
Alice leaned back, closing her eyes to sleep, ignoring Chloe. Chloeâs expression darkened. But with the driver present, she put on her usual pitiful look and smiled sweetly at the man. thought to himself that the young lady was being too much, always picking on Chloe. Heâd have to have a word with the second young master about it later.
At school, Alice focused on her classes and took notes, realizing she had forgotten a lot. Even with Chloeâs little followers chirping around her, she didnât pay them any mind. She had too much to do to waste time on them.
After school, Alice returned home to find her sixth brother, Luke, sulking on the sofa. Chloe approached him coquettishly.âLuke, youâre back! I missed you SO Luke, who was initially in a bad mood, softened at her attention.
Alice glanced at their interaction and turned to head upstairs.
much!â
Luke called out, âAlice, Caleb says youâve become disobedient. I didnât believe him at first, but now you wonât even greet me?â
Alice sighed. Here we go again. Not wanting to waste more time, she turned around and obediently called out, âLuke.â
âThatâs better. By the way, Iâm planning to reform the team. Noah and Caleb agreed. Youâre in.â

Chapter 11 Menu Alice clenched her backpack tightly. This was it, just like last time. To please him and win their attention, she had agreed without hesitation, training hard, even neglecting her college entrance exams.
And what did she get in return?
âAlice, youâve proven yourself. Now letâs give the spot to Chloe so she can experience the joy of winning.â
âAlice, Iâm the captain. If I team say weâre switching, weâre switching.â In her past life, she had been unceremoniously replaced by Chloe. If it werenât for her relentless efforts, she wouldnât have even made it to the finals. And at the last moment, they swapped her out? Handing over the championship glory to Chloe?
