Chapter 70 Alice showed no reaction to Noah and Lukeâs arrival. Her expression was calm. She looked at Daniel. âLetâs schedule a meeting later.â
Daniel nodded, turning to Luke. Iâm not wrong. With your sisterâs talent, Iâd be showering her with attention. Who would fawn over a mediocre stepsister while suppressing a talented real sister? Thatâs foolish!â
Lukeâs face turned livid. âYou donât understand anything!â He hadnât suppressed Alice! He wanted her on the team for the finals!
Theyâd finals! Theyâd just had 3 minor disagreement.
After Daniel left, other coaches approached Alice, handing her cards. Luke was ignored, watching Alice surrounded by admirers.
He thought: If Alice ignored them and didnât join Blitzkrieg Team, heâd apologize and forget about her mocking him.
Alice collected a stack of cards, surprised by the number.
Noah approached after the coaches left, carefully observing Alice. Sheâd changed.
Alice looked at him. Thank you.
Luke stepped forward.âAlice, why did you hide it from me? Was it fun?â
Alice raised an eyebrow, noticing Lukeâs discomfort. He felt guilty?
Her tone was calm. I planned to tell you after the exams, but what did you say in my room? Need a reminder?â
Her calm tone felt like a knife to Luke. He remembered his words; he was humiliated. His arrogance had backfired spectacularly.
His eyes were red.âWhy didnât you tell me then?â
I didnât have to.â
path.âIâm âWhy not?â Luke blocked her path. Iâm your brother! I thought our disagreements were minor. I â said the wrong things; you could could have corrected me. Why didnât you?â
If Alice had spoken up, things wouldnât have escalated. She might not have gone to Shrimp Live.
Alice stepped back, creating distance. This cold indifference hurt Luke.
Jane said sarcastically, âAlice suffered because of Chloe! Now youâre experiencing the same thing, and you canât handle it?
Imagine how painful itâs been for her!â
Luke retorted, âThatâs why I asked! If sheâd spoken up, things wouldnât have happened!â
Jane raised her voice. âSo, itâs Aliceâs fault?â
âIsnât it?â Luke instinctively replied, then looked at Alice, feeling guilty.âWeâre family! We should talk things out. You hid your identity and went to Shrimp Live to spite me!â
Alice raised an eyebrow. âIf you want to think that, go ahead.â She hadnât gone to Shrimp Live to spite him! She just didnât want to be controlled by the Windhams.
Noah intervened.âLetâs calm down. Luke, what you did and said was hurtful. You should apologize!â
Luke said reluctantly, âIâll apologize, but she canât join Blitzkrieg Team or Shrimp Live!â He knew Alice had done this to spite him.
Heâd apologize, but she couldnât do this.
40-1434 Chapter 10 Noah breathed a sigh of relief. He went to Alice Alice, signing with another platform isnât ideal; itâs complex. Green Fruit is the best choice. Donât you think?
Aliceâs gaze was steady.âI choose who I sign with.â
âBut Iâm worried. Luke feels remorseful. This wonât happen again. Donât be angry anymore.â Alice smiled. âI wasnât angry. They were the ones clinging to her.
She turned to leave.
Luke felt frustrated.âNoah, look at her attitude! Iâm apologizing, and she still wonât forgive me?â Luke, you caused this. Apologize and get her forgiveness.â
Luke was silent. What more could he do? Alice had started this! Why wouldnât she forgive him? He saw Alice surrounded by people, greeting them and taking pictures. She seemed like a completely different person. Sheâd changed so much.
Chloe watched, seething with jealousy. Sheâd dressed up for her grand debut, but Alice had stolen the spotlight. Looking at her wine glass, she had an idea. She approached Alice.
Chloe smiled. Alice, youâre here.â
Alice, noticing Chloeâs wine glass and that unsettling smile, knew this wouldnât end well. This was a bad omen. Chloe was probably planning something.
Chloe, looking innocent, said to the people around.âHello, everyone. Iâm Chloe, Aliceâs sister.â Daniel, Blitzkrieg Teamâs coach, sneered.âYouâre the one who replaced Alice and almost lost the revival match.â
Chloeâs smile faltered. She said, âIâm not as good as Alice at games, but she didnât want to join the team. Iâll give up my spot if she returns.â
Alice smirked.âYou donât have to.â She didnât want to see Chloe; she got some fruit. âAlice, wait.â Chloe approached, stepping on Aliceâs dress and splashing wine on her.
