Chapter 32 Alice was nestled in his arms, looking a bit dazed. Jack looked down, only able to see her smooth forehead, with damp hair falling between them, the moisture spreading and making her clothes. slightly seeâthrough. His throat tightened. He gently released her.âThe clothes are new and unworn; you can make do with the shoes for a day.â
Alice noticed the clothes he had left by the entrance and blushed, âThanks.â Jack, seeing her unguarded expression, couldnât help but lecture, âDonât open the door at night.â âBecause I know itâs definitely you knocking,â she said, her gaze steady. Jack met her eyes and quickly looked away, awkwardly adding, âLock the door.â Alice stood at the doorway, a slight smile on her lips as she glanced back at the unfamiliar room; she was ready to start a new chapter in her life.
While charging her phone in bed, she discovered dozens of missed calls, almost all Noah. There was also a call from Luke, but it only rang three times before hanging up. She saw messages from Noah:âAlice, where are you? Donât be angry, come home, Iâll make Luke apologize!â âYou should know that in New York, you canât hide for long. If Ethan finds out, the consequences will be dire.â
âAlice, weâre family! Canât we forgive small conflicts?â
Reading these messages, her expression turned icy. There was no way she could forgive even at little.
The next day at school, Alice took a taxi with Jack.
She turned to him, âIâll head to class first.â
Jack watched her safely enter the school before looking away. A luxury car pulled up beside them, and Andrew leaned out, âThe Welch family went crazy looking for you last night. Alice wouldnât have escaped if she hadnât ran into us. The Welch family wasnât to be underestimated. Jack pursed his lips, seemingly deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Alice headed straight to the classroom, and screams erupted.âAliceâs here! Sheâs the one who did the twelveâhit combo!â
âWhatâs her connection to King?!â
âIdol, can we take photos together?â
Alice was taken aback by the crowd and awkwardly nodded, âSure.â
Suddenly, a bunch of people surrounded her, asking for autographs. The classroom entrance was bustling with excitement, packed with people.
Chloe had just arrived outside the classroom and, seeing Alice being treated like a star, felt a surge of jealousy. She had over a hundred thousand fans online, far more famous than Alice; these clueless people!
Unable to stand it, Chloe stepped out.âAlice, where were you last night? Noah was worried sick. You shouldnât risk your safety just because youâre angry.â
Alice knew the act was coming.
A minion said, âSheâs ungrateful! She thinks sheâs superior after winning.â

Alice raised act.
an eyebrow.âNo wonder people say you two are foulâmouthed.â Chloe, noticing something, quickly said, âAlice, you donât know how envious I am that your family cares so much. And yet, youâre being so willful; itâs really not right.â
No one cares. âDo I know know you? Stop with the Isnât it exhausting?â
âAlice, how dare you speak to Chloe like that! She worried about you all night! You were in the wrong, and others canât say anything?â Her sixth brother, Luke, approached with a complex expression. He didnât have to drop Chloe off at school today, but he felt compelled to come, knowing Alice would be here.
He hadnât slept a wink last night. She had forced him into isolation; what was that about? Alice, seeing Luke, wasnât surprised.âIsnât Chloe often out all night with you guys?â
Chloeâs eyes welled up.âAlice, how can you say that?â
âAlice, donât talk nonsense, Chloe is my sister! Apologize to her!â
Aliceâs tone was cold.âShe started it. I learned it from her.â
Chloeâs voice was choked with tears.âI... I didnât mean it, you misunderstood.â Luke, who had been holding back his temper, suddenly lost control,âAlice, look at yourself! Were you with that doctor last night? Itâs obvious!â
Alice who had been holding back his temper, suddenly lost control.
After Luke spoke, he immediately regretted it, but with so many people watching, he didnât explain.
Alice found it laughable, âThat has nothing to do with you.â She turned and walked toward the classroom.
âStop! What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? Your wings are getting too strong; you think youâre something special just becaus you Won revival matchâ
Alice sneered, not bothering to look back.
She sat down, completely ignoring the commotion outside.

angry.
But I was âI know. You care for her, but she doesnât appreciate it.â Luke was irritated.âAliceâs attitude is terrible; she doesnât care about anyoneâs feelings. Itâs like sheâs a different person. What does she want Us to do to make her happy?â
A hint of mockery flashed in Chloeâs eyes; Alice had already started distancing herself, and he was just now realizing it?
This was a good thing for her. She changed the subject, âWhat are you planning to do about that school doctor?â
âOf course, that man has to pay the price!â
< Chapter 32 Luke headed straight to the principalâs office, this matter needed to be addressed.
After achieving her goal, Chloe returned to the classroom. As she passed Alice, she whispered, âLuke went to the principal.â
Aliceâs expression changed; she had indeed brought trouble to Jack. She stood up, but just then, the English teacher started class, and Alice had to sit back down.

He During the lesson, she was somewhat distracted. Finally, when the class ended, Alice stepped out.
call Jack, feeling bit answered calmly.âWhatâs wrong?â
âLuke went to the principal. You might be in trouble, but donât worry, Iâll explain.â âKid, donât meddle in adult matters!â His voice was confident, almost arrogant. She almost thought she misheard him; usually, this man was quiet and aloof, very reserved. Yet, for some reason, she found herself believing him.
After hanging up, she returned to her seat, feeling reassured as she reviewed her notes. With just over a month until the college entrance exams, she was almost free.
After school, Alice packed her bag, intending to head to the infirmary. However, she spotted her second brother, Noah, at the classroom door, holding a giant stuffed bear.
Alice halted in her tracks.
Noah approached. âAlice, you performed brilliantly in the revival match. I got you a gift. Congratulations, and good luck in the finals.â
