* Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Mers Alice straightened up, remembering that Chloeâs father had saved her life. So, when Ethan had adopted Chloe, she didnât 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. Thatâs why their relationship had soured.
Noah shouted, âAlice, what are you saying? Weâre doing this for your sake! Itâs 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?â
âIâm not sulking.â
Hearing her second brotherâs 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 didnât want to let her emotions be swayed by her brothers like in her past life. She wouldnât explain and wouldnât care about their opinions.
Alice packed her textbooks from the coffee table into her backpack. Looking at her packed bag, she softly said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll go to my room.â
Noah sat on the sofa, looking troubled.
âAlice, if you join the team now, weâll overlook about everything that happened before!â 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.âMr. Welch, if Miss doesnât want to join, itâs fine. At least Miss Black is there.â
Noah frowned.âItâs not the same.â
âMr. Welch, I donât know if I should say this. But Miss hasnât asked about you at all since she came back. She seems so coldâ
hearted; itâs heartbreaking to watch!â
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.âSheâs up early?â âMiss has been taking taxis to school instead of the driverâs car. Itâs because Miss Black was late on Monday when discussing things with you, sheâs been stubborn and hasnât used the driverâs car since!â
Noahâs expression was complicated.
Caleb walked over, âSeriously? Just a little tardiness? So petty. Who is she trying to impress?â Luke yawned.âNoah, Alice is just putting on a show for you to soften this time, sheâll only get worse in the future!â
your heart. If you give in Noah didnât say anything more. He felt Alice should face some consequences; he had given her a chance, but she didnât appreciate it.

Chapter 17 Menu Chloe overheard their conversation and smiled, bouncing down the stairs, âGood morning, Noah, Caleb, Luke! Letâs have breakfast together!â
Seeing Chloeâs lively demeanor, Noahâs mood lightened considerably. At least this sister hadnât gone astray.
After arriving at school, Alice felt a bit drowsy, having pulled an allânighter. 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 couldnât come up with an answer. The teacher sighed, âChloe, youâve been distracted lately. You havenât grasped the material and youâll suffer on the exam.â
