Chapter 91 Menu Alice wasnât surprised by the outcome; it was inevitable. If Luke hadnât chosen Chloe as the gunner and hired a skilled player, they might not have lost so badlyâthey might have even won. Luke had chosen Chloe to prove she was enough. His personality hadnât changed. Alice smiled; she wondered if Luke was satisfied. She certainly was. In her past life, sheâd won the championship, only to be replaced by Chloe at the last minute. This time, sheâd watched Luke lose.
Lukeâs face was grim; he left the stage. The winning team accepted interviews. Their captain looked at Alice.âThis was an easy win. We expected to be eliminated. Aliceâs absence gave us a chance.â If Alice had competed, they wouldnât have won.
Reporters approached Alice.âMiss Alice, your thoughts on the match?â
There are wins and losses. The champion represents everyoneâs efforts.â She gave a diplomatic response.
She saw Chloe leaving. Noah went to the locker room and found Luke berating Chloe. Chloe was crying, feeling wronged; sheâd done her best, but the team hadnât supported her.
Noah arrived.âEveryoneâs tired. Letâs go.â The team left. Chloe wiped her tears.âSecond Brother, I really tried.â
âI know. Go with them.â
Luke was frustrated.âSecond Brother, was that trying? She wasnât even a tenth as good as Alice. I trusted her!â
âItâs not Chloeâs fault. You knew her skill level yet let her compete. You wanted to spite Alice and got what you deserved.â
Luke felt aggrieved. He admitted heâd had that intention but hadnât expected Chloe to be so bad; heâd thought sheâd improved.
She hadnât.
âSixth Brother, Chloe tried. Donât blame her. You drove Alice away; you can only blame yourself.ââ
Luke slumped in his chair.âI just didnât adapt to Aliceâs changes. She changed too quickly; I thought she was just sulking.â
âI warned you, but you didnât believe me. Think about it.â Noah had said everything he could.
Luke covered his face, feeling complex emotions. He realized something was missing without Alice.

Alice was surrounded by fans after leaving the venue. She finally hailed a taxi. Back at the apartment, she relaxed.
Andrew Yates sat on the sofa.âAlice, satisfying to watch them lose?â
âVery.â Sheâd known the outcome, but seeing it happen was satisfying.
âSomeone made a funny video with commentary on the match!â
Alice watched a video of Chloeâs disastrous performance with hilarious commentary.ã
ãWhite Lotus, your shooting speed is slower than your crying speed.ã ãSweetheart Princess, youâre a gunner, not a protected princess! Protect the team!ã

Chapter 91 Alice smiled.âChloe will probably livestream and cry about this.â
Menu She was right. Chloe issued a statement threatening to sue the video creator for defamation.
Landingâs loss became a source of amusement for days. But then, her older brother called.âAlice, you didnât compete? Whatâs wrong? You shouldnât have a tantrum at such a time!â
Aliceâs tone was sarcastic.âSixth Brother didnât let me. He couldnât find a replacement, tried to save face, and lost!â
âYou know Sixth Brotherâs temper. He just couldnât save face and asked you. As his sister, shouldnât you have been more proactive?â
Aliceâs tone was cold.âI wasnât going to be proactive.â She hung up, her good mood ruined. She realized sheâd been too accommodating in the past, leading them to ignore her and exploit her. She wasnât that naive anymore.
Alice slept well after venting her past frustrations. Soon after the finals, the college entrance exam results came out. She couldnât sleep the night before; she waited at her computer.
Jack brought fruit.âDonât be nervous. Have more faith in yourself.â
âIâm a little anxious. I want to see the results.â She knew the outcome of many things, but not this.
Andrew Yates arrived with snacks.âLetâs eat and wait. This is my first time waiting for college results.â
âYou didnât take the exam?â Alice was surprised.
Jack looked at Andrew Yates.âWe were admitted early.â
âYes, early admission.â Andrew Yates almost slipped up. Theyâd either been admitted early o studied abroad.
Alice was impressed. âYou âYou got it! Youâre so smart!â
were admitted early to Harvard University?â
âI didnât expect you to be so talented!â Early admission!
Andrew Yates nervously changed the subject.âItâs almost time. Alice, open the website. It might be slow later.â
Alice didnât ask more questions. She took a deep breath and logged in. When it was time, she entered her details and clicked âCheck Results.â
The results appeared, and Alice was confused.âWhy are there only asterisks? Did the website crash?â
