Chapter 65 Alice showed no emotion at Chloeâs boast. She could make her own money now, Her expression was calm.âThe sizes are right.
Bag them.â
Chloeâs sidekick sneered, âAlice, youâre pretending! The school nurse rented those fancy cars, but they were rented!â
Chloe smirked, finally getting her revenge.
Alice held her shopping bags. At least Iâm spending my own money. I donât rely on anyone.â
Chloe said sweetly, âRelying on family is a blessing. Why fight with them? Just apologize and go back. I envy your family.â
Jane couldnât take it anymore.âChloe, stop the fake sympathy! If Alice hadnât been driven away, she would still be home. Itâs all your fault!â
Chloe smiled. âBut my brothers like me better. I canât help it. Itâs not my fault.â
Alice didnât bother arguing. Last time, she wouldâve been upset, fighting with Chloe. Now, she didnât care about her brothers favoring Chloe.
Leaving the store, Jane said angrily, âChloe, even if you act like this, youâre not the real heiress!â
Chloe gritted her teeth. One day, sheâd completely displace Alice.
Jane followed Alice.âAlice, why are you letting Chloe bully you?â
Iâm not angry, why are you?â
âBut youâre the real sister! I thought your personality was the problem. Now I know it was Chloe!
Alice said calmly, âItâs not entirely Chloeâs fault. My brothers prefer obedient sisters; Chloe is good at that.â Sheâd been genuinely kind to them, but theyâd ignored it. Chloe just knew how to act.
Jane said, âNow I understand why youâre livestreamingâto make money, right?â
âIâm making a lot of money, donât worry!â
Jane, seeing how popular Alice was, wasnât as worried.âDo your brothers know youâre the streamer?â
âThey didnât before. Now... I donât know.â After last nightâs battle with Luke, he probably knew. She hadnât tried to hide it; sheâd signed with Shrimp Live and was famous. Even if her family found out, they couldnât stop her.
That night, Aliceâs livestating was promoted on Shrimp Liveâs homepage. She was in a good mood, battling and commentating simultaneously. Her skill attracted many fans. Noah watched the livestream, hearing Aliceâs happy voice. He felt a pang of loss. She hadnât returned home, hadnât used the familyâs money. She was successful.
Luke stumbled in, drunk. âNoah, youâre watching her too! She knew it was me, and she mocked. me! Does she even care about me?â
Noah sighed.âItâs your fault. How did you treat her? Sheâs heartbroken and wonât come back.â âBut I apologized! What more does she want? Noah, I feel terrible!â
Luke, if you want to win her back, change your attitude. Be nicer to her!â Noah finally realized Chapter 65 heâd ignored Alice.
âWe werenât bad to her? You were hospitalized for days, and she didnât visit! Sheâs heartless!â Luke rambled, drunk.
Noah watched the livestream, feeling helpless. Alice didnât visit because she was hurt. This wast his karmic retribution. Heâd been blind to her kindness.
Noah sent ten âCarnivalâ gifts, dominating the screen for a while. Alice saw the name and pursed her lipsâNoah. She pretended not to see it.
Sweet Lemon, will you be at the Net Idol Salon tomorrow?*
Alice replied, âYes.â
âIs it hard to get an invitation? I want to meet you!â
Offering a high price for an invitation!*
Alice took a break, explaining her battles, discussing the Gunner classâs strengths and weaknesses. It was her experience from her past life.
After the livestream, her neck and back ached. She went to the kitchen for water, seeing Jack at the entrance.
Suddenly, the lights went out.
Alice said, âPower outage? It happened after her livestream.
Jackâs voice echoed in the darkness. âIâll call the building management.â
âOkay. Itâs probably a neighborhood outage.â
Alice, fumbling in the dark, bumped into a vase. It shattered..
âStay there!â Jackâs voice was urgent and cold.
Alice stood still, unsure where the shards were. She saw a flashlight approaching. Jack came closer, his silhouette looming in the darkness.
Alice said, âI didnât bring my phone. Thank you for coming back.â
She bent down, but Jack suddenly approached. âPut your hands here.â
Feeling his closeness, she realized he was going to carry her. She put her hands on his shoulders, and he scooped her up. She felt his warmthâhis body was firm, unlike a girlâs. It was her first time being carried like this by a stranger, her heart pounding.
