Chapter 181 Aliceâs calm expression made Chloe break out in a cold sweat. Something was wrong. Alice had never been this compliant; this bitch definitely had a backup plan.
Lukeâs father was satisfied. [Itâs good youâve come to your senses. Donât think winning once makes you powerful. To succeed in Cloud City, you need the Windhams.] Alice scoffed.â[Rely on the Windhams? Starve? The team is failing, and the Al project is gone.]â Lukeâs fatherâs face darkened.â[Didnât your second brother offer you his company? Resign from Maple Leaf. Tell the director you framed the Windhams, causing Maple Leafâs disqualification!]â
[Mr. Windham, did you brush your teeth this morning? Your breath is so badâ]â
Aliceâs gaze was mocking.
Lukeâs father was confused.â[What do you mean? Iâm doing this for you. Take over your second brotherâs company, work for the Windhams.
Donât work for outsiders or compete with the family. Call the director and the lawyers to drop the charges!]â
Alice laughed.â[When did I say Iâd drop the charges?]*
Lukeâs father was stunned, then angry.â[Are you playing me? Didnât you agree?]â
â[That was an agreement? Donât flatter yourself.]â
â[You said my words were reasonable. Wasnât that agreement?]â
Aliceâs tone was light. [Yes, I did. Dropping the charges is impossible, but Iâll only sue one person.]â
Lukeâs father was wary.â[What do you mean?]â
â[Literally. Chloe and Luke. Iâll only sue one; the other is free.]â
Aliceâs smile widened.â[Before the trial, decide who takes the blame and goes to jail]
â[Alice, are you crazy?!â]
Chloeâs face changed. She knew that bitch wouldnât easily agree. A choice between two people! This was cruel! Alice drive was trying to a wedge between her and Luke!
Alice clicked her tongue. [This is for your own good. One person in jail is better than two.
Iâm doing this out of family consideration. If you refuse, go to jail together. You siblings can support each other. Thatâs nice, too.]â
Alice entered the stadium.
Lukeâs father was furious.â[Alice, stop! How could you devise such a vicious plan!]*
Choosing between siblings would create animosity! No one wanted jail!
Alice didnât turn, smiling.
turn, smiling. If they were so close, they should choose wisely. Inside the stadium, Alice sat down, looking at Chloe.â[Do you think my plan is cruel?]* â[No! Itâs brilliant! It rips off their fake masks, exposing their hypocrisy! Theyâll know better next time!]â
Chloe had heard everything and had wanted to speak up, but Alice didnât need her help.
STOL Chapter 181 Alice nodded.â[Only when they suffer will they understand what I went through.]â Let them experience it. She wanted to see if their sibling bond would survive the test of greed! The match began. Alice looked at John Wilson, her expression distant. John Wilson hadnât been at the finals in her past life. If he had, she probably wouldnât have won. This time, sheâd refused Lukeâs team, preventing them from reaching the finals; Chloe wouldnât have a chance to steal her victory. Chloe couldnât take what was hers this time!
Alice was conflicted. Was John Wilson the person from her past life? He must have known how much she wanted to win this game; maybe thatâs why heâd withdrawn, letting her win.
Alice was lost in thought during the match.
Her phone buzzed:â[Watch the game.]â
It was Jack. Was he here? He and Garrett knew John Wilson; it made sense.
Alice looked around; the stadium was vast.
She replied:â[Where are you?]â
[Innerâfield lounge.]â
In the inner field. Alice remembered the lounge had windows overlooking the field. How could he see her from so far?
In the lounge, Garrett poked Jack.â[Give me the binoculars. Youâve stared long enough. You said you werenât looking!]â
Jack had taken the binoculars after saying heâd seen Alice. Unreliable friends!
Jack tossed the binoculars back, taking out his phone, zooming in on Alice. He took a picture and sent it to her.
She didnât reply; Jack smiled.
Garrett leaned over.â[What did you send her? Youâre smiling.]â
Jack flipped his phone over, refusing to answer.
Garrett grabbed the binoculars.â[The lawyers are ready. Court will be months away, but weâll win! Jail time for the Windhams and that toxic lotus!]â
Aliceâs life would be peaceful. No more disturbances.
â[Without the toxic lotus, maybe Aliceâs brothers will become normal!]â
Jackâs expression turned cold.â[They donât deserve to be near Alice.]â
â[They hurt her; they deserve no forgiveness!]â
Jackâs phone buzzed. He saw Aliceâs furious emoji; his stern features softened. She was angry. Heâd taken a bad picture! From far away, it made her look silly! Outrageous!
Alice texted:â[Delete that photo!]â
He smirked and replied:â[Deleted.]â
â[I donât believe you. Iâm checking your phone!]â
Jack paused.â[Only my girlfriend can check.]â
Only his girlfriend? Wasnât he single?
