Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Luke wasn’t entirely confident. Alice had changed drastically. But he believed, no matter how angry she was, she wouldn’t do this; she was just sulking. She’d still favor him. Alice watched coldly, a smirk playing on her lips. The Windhams remained as self–assured as ever.

Alice walked towards the registration desk. Jane fumed. “Why is Chloe guilt–tripping you? You can choose any platform!”

“I won’t be manipulated.”

At the registration desk, Chloe appeared.“Alice, what are you doing here?” Chloe, in a luxurious. dress and expensive jewelry, looked like a princess. Alice was gone; she was the only heiress now. Chloe touched her necklace, feigning concern.“Alice, you could have told me you wanted to come. I have extra dresses you could have borrowed. Look how poorly dressed Alice was distant.“Why would I tell you?”

you are.”

Luke stared at Alice’s dress, hoping she’d realize how good she had it at home and return. Chloe gritted her teeth.“This event requires invitations. Did you and Jane get part–time jobs as greeters?”

Luke frowned at the mention of greeters. “You left home to be a greeter? What will people think of the Windhams?” Was she embarrassed?

Jane retorted, “Alice achieved the twelve–hit combo and won the revival match! She wouldn’t take a lowly job!”

People overheard.

“That’s Alice!”

I heard about the twelve–hit combo–King’s signature move! She’s so young! Reporters surrounded Alice.“Miss Alice, how did you learn the twelve–hit combo? What’s your relationship with King?”

Alice replied calmly, I’m a King fan. It was a coincidence.”

Chloe was jealous. What was so special about a coincidence?

‘Miss Alice, what are your thoughts on Landing Team’s finals? Can you win?” Alice was surprised. Did they think she was part of Landing Team? Her gaze was cold.“I don’t know. I’m not on Landing Team.”

The reporters were stunned. The heiress wasn’t on Landing Team? Were the rumors about her clashing with the family true?

They turned to Luke.“Mr. Windhamke, what do you say? Why isn’t Miss Alice on the team?”

“Are there rumors of conflict?”

“Mr. Windhamke, you said she’d join Landing Team.”

Luke opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. He glared at Alice. How dare she say this to reporters? Wasn’t she afraid of angering him?

Chloe, linking arms with Luke, smiled.“Alice’s just having a little disagreement with the family.

< Chapter 68 We’re family. She wouldn’t be ungrateful.”

Jane couldn’t stand it.“Chloe, stop lying! It’s not like that!”

Chloe was manipulating the reporters. Alice stopped Jane.“Luke kicked me off the team. He found a great Gunner to replace me.”

A reporter said, “Sweet Lemon,‘ right? A skilled Gunner!”

“We heard she’ll be here, but we don’t know what she looks like.” The reporter looked at Alice. Rumors said Alice ‘was“Sweet Lemon.”

Chloe, unwilling to stay, pulled out her invitation. “Alice, only one guest per invitation.” Alice was just a greeter, pretending to be someone she wasn’t. Luke would be furious. Luke looked at Alice, his tone stiff.“I didn’t know you wanted to come. Tell me next time.” He could have gotten another invitation but didn’t know Alice was coming. He’d ignored her, hoping.

to teach her a lesson.

Alice’s expression was calm. “No need.”

“Luke, we’re missing invitations?” Noah arrived, looking dashing.

Reporters swarmed him. “Mr.

Windham, “There are rumors of a close relationship...”

are here for ‘Sweet you Lemon?”

Noah smiled. “My relationship with that streamer is close. I’m here for her.”

The reporters were intrigued. It seemed there was a story. Noah looked at Alice. “Alice, let me take you in. He hoped she wouldn’t refuse. He wanted her to see how hard life outside the Windhams was.

Alice said, “No, I can get in myself.”

Chloe asked, “Alice, this is an invitation–only event. Do you have an invitation?” “Yes.” Alice calmly produced an invitation and placed it on the table.

Jane looked triumphantly at Chloe. “See? An invitation! Alice was officially invited! Unlike certain parasites!”

Chloe was indignant. “Alice, didn’t you say you wouldn’t rely on the family?” Without the family, she couldn’t have gotten an invitation!

Luke looked at the invitation, stunned.“Alice, how did you get this?”

“Because she “is“Sweet Lemon‘!”
