Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Menu Alice raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp and defiant. “I remember it clearly,” she said. She would never forget.

Alice shut the door, not wanting to say anything more.

Noah stood outside, looking at the necklace, regretting what he had just said. But Alice’s words had indeed been intentional. She was smart enough to understand his meaning; was she still angry?

Noah stared at the closed door:“Alice, what am I supposed to do with you?” Alice’s mood soured. She shouldn’t have held onto any false hopes, thinking her brothers would have a change of heart and regret their actions! She had underestimated Chloe’s position in her second brother’s heart. After all, Noah was moved to tears just seeing Chloe make a bowl of plain porridge. All her years of effort in making medicinal dishes felt worthless in comparison. She would reclaim her contributions. She wouldn’t join Luke’s team, she wouldn’t make medicinal porridge for Noah, and she wouldn’t fix Ethan’s firewall security issues. She would withdraw her support from Alex, Caleb, and Finn as well.

When Alice opened the gaming forum, she found her post from a few days ago titled “Beginner’s Guide on How to Achieve a Twelve–Hit Combo” had gone viral. Many people had saved it, but there were also plenty of comments mocking her for being arrogant.

Alice didn’t bother to argue; she had summarized her experiences based on what that previous. person had said.

She received a private message. When she saw the sender’s profile, it turned out to be Luke’s account. “Hey, remember when you stole my boss last time?”

Of course, Alice remembered; it was intentional.

She didn’t reply.

He sent another message: “How about considering joining a professional team? The benefits are good. I’m impressed with your skills, and joining the team would provide professional training!” As she read this message, Alice found it ironic. Luke had finally come to terms with reality, realizing Chloe was unreliable, and was now looking for new recruits since he knew she wouldn’t join the competition?

Alice flatly rejected:“I refuse.”

After replying, she logged off.

Luke stared at those words, his mind flashing back to Alice’s face. Every time she rejected him, it was always those same words.

Luke closed his computer in frustration, feeling stifled because of Alice. He was even kicked out to live elsewhere because of her, and it felt so unfair!

He regretted hitting her on the day of the revival match. But he couldn’t swallow his pride; he was used to Alice always being the one to appease him.

Time flew by, and it was the last mock exam.

Alice felt confident during the exam, thinking it went pretty well. She submitted her paper early and stepped outside to get some fresh air.

1427 When Alice returned to the classroom, she saw Chloe crying at her desk, and her minions were nowhere to be found.

“Chloe, don’t cry. We believe you didn’t cheat.“The teacher will investigate.“You don’t need to cheat; your grades are always good.”

Hearing these conversations, Alice guessed what happened. She’d always suspected Chloe of faking her grades, especially since Minion #I’s grades were surprisingly good. This hadn’t happened in her past life.

Chloe had probably fell behind in her studies due to gaming and had to take risks to maintain at good ranking.

In her past life, Chloe had failed spectacularly on the college entrance exam. Alice, however, had done very well. Chloe made excuses, claiming Alice had affected her mood, causing her to perform poorly. Alice was then pressured by her brothers to attend the same university as Chloe, which was seen as compensation for affecting Chloe’s grades.

What kind of logic was that?

But in her past life, she hadn’t dared to oppose her brothers‘ demands and had to agree. Minion #1 burst in, confronting Chloe.“You were the one who wanted to cheat; why am I the one getting punished?”

Chloe, tears streaming down her face, replied, “I didn’t cheat! Why are you slandering me? You wrote that note yourself!”

“It was you! Why don’t you admit it? We’re friends! Why would you betray me?” Minion #1 was frantic; the punishment would affect her college entrance exam.

Chloe, however, wore an innocent expression, and the people around began to blame Minion #1 for slandering her.

Inside, Chloe was completely calm; she knew she wouldn’t get in trouble. The teacher and classmates would only believe her words.

Minion #1 looked at Alice desperately. “I finally understand how you felt. Chloe is a viper, pretending to be a saint, but she’s a wicked woman!”

Alice smirked; Minion #1 finally understood.

Minion #1 rushed to Alice.“You know the truth, right? Chloe’s grades are bad; I’ve been helping her with her homework. We were in the same classroom during the exam; you submitted early and must have seen it. You can testify for me to the teacher!”

Alice had always been at odds with Chloe, so she must have a way Chloe frowned; Alice probably didn’t know.

to handle this.

Alice pushed Minion #1’s hand away, her tone cold. “Everyone knows how Chloe behaves; how can you unjustly accuse her?”

Minion #1’s face paled. She hadn’t expected this.

Alice wasn’t a saint; she’d been hurt by these minions in her past time. Now it was time to let Minion #1 experience what she’d endured.

After Alice said that, Chloe immediately relaxed.

Chloe looked at Minion #1 with a pitiful expression:“Just because we’re close, I can’t let your make 41427 10.0%

Chapter 35 mistakes. If you sincerely apologize to the teacher and admit your mistake, I believe they will forgive you this time.”

Minion #2 agreed. “Yeah, you can’t just slander people.”

Minion #1 looked at Minion #2. Your turn’s coming. You better watch. out.” Minion #2 said uneasily, “What nonsense are you talking? You’re the one who wanted to cheat. and got caught; you can’t make Chloe lie for you.”

Minion #1 shouted, “Chloe, I have proof you’ve been cheating! Let’s see how you maintain you perfect student image!”

Chloe’s expression changed instantly.

Was this woman looking for trouble?

The teacher arrived. “Lucy, what proof do you have?”

“I have evidence on my phone; I’ve been doing Chloe‘ homework. During the exam, when I passed her the note, Alice happened to walk by the classroom; she definitely saw it.” The teacher looked at Alice.’Did you really see it?”

Alice thought for a moment; she hadn’t really paid attention, only remembering Chloe looking back. Was this her chance? If she said yes, would Chloe be finished?
