Chapter 75
Alice quickly restored the deleted security footage. One look at the video, and Chloe’s lies would be exposed. A message popped up from Noah: [I’ve already spoken to Chloe. She won’t say anything else.]
Alice found the message laughable. That was it? Chloe’s words had already caused significant damage, and a simple I’ve spoken to her” was supposed to erase it all Pathetic Disappointed, Alice deleted Noah’s contact. She should have done this a long time sp That evening, during her livestream, Alice faced a barrage of attacks from her haters. Why are you bullying Chloe, using your heiress status to force her to apologize on livestream?]
[That’s right! You pushed her at the gala, causing her serious injuries] Alice remained unmoved. “It’s simple. Chloe is lying”
[How can you say Chloe is lying? What proof do you have?]
[Exactly! We all saw her injuries. You’re unscathed.]
Then, a lavish donation appeared with the name Landing Team. Alice’s annoyance flared. Luke again? She vividly remembered his hatred at the gala. What was he up to: A private message arrived from Luke. [Just apologize, and I’ll testify for you.] Alice laughed. Hilarious. Her apologize?
She replied: [Go to hell!]
She wouldn’t waste her breath.
Luke, furious, slammed his keyboard.“We’ll see how you explain this, Alice. You refuse to back. down, so don’t blame me. Noah had wanted him to clear things up on livestream, but Alice’s attitude changed that. Why should he help her? She wouldn’t even call him sixth brother! On livestream, Alice addressed her viewers.“I have the security footage from the gala. I’ll upload it shortly. You’ll see the truth for yourselves.”
She uploaded the video, then began her gaming matches. Completely focused, she didn’t give the video a second thought. She dominated, winning each match within minutes. Viewers were
stunned.
[Anyone else sensing that Lemon is extra fired. up today?]
[Probably because someone’s trying to frame her. Feel bad for the players she’s facing. She’s utterly destroying them.]
[Lemon is a boss killer.]
Her ceiling isn’t ten; it’s just ten people.
Meaning: She’s number one because there’s only one number one spot.
After winning and securing her place in the top 10, she paused to hydrate. Chloe messaged her:“Chloe deleted all her morning posts and is now claiming it was all a misunderstanding!” Chloe appeared in the chat. Her livestream.
was [Sweetheart Princess]
She sent a gift and said insincerely, “Alice, it was all a misunderstanding. I’ve already explained it

to my fans, asking them to stop the harassment. It was my fault.”
Alice responded coldly. Since you know you’re wrong, leave. My livestream doesn’t welcome you. Stop trying to leech off me.”
Chloe’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected Alice to be so unyielding. She’d only come to apologize. to curry favor with Noah. She never expected Alice to have the security footage.. Alice continued, “Everyone knows we don’t get along. I’m not pretending to be sisters. It’s nauseating.”
Luke intervened.“Chloe came
apologize. Is this how you treat her?”
“Is her apology so noble that I have to forgive her? If apologies were so effective, what would we need police for?” Alice’s tone was sharp.
The chat erupted in agreement. [Exactly! The white lotus manipulated public opinion this morning. sWindhaming our goddess, only to be exposed by the security footage. Does anyone believe her?]
White lotus, get lost! We don’t want you here.]
[She’s probably jealous of the goddess’s fans and skills. Such a despicable person!] Chloe fled in disgrace. Seeing her fanbase plummet, she panicked. Who would have thought Alice had that video? She rushed to Luke in tears. Sixth Brother, I tried.
my best.”
Luke’s phone was still on Alice’s livestream. He saw everything. His expression darkened. “I know, it’s not your fault. Second Brother saw it too. Alice won’t listen to us. Why bother? She’s so powerful now, signed with TikTok, and doesn’t care about the Windham family!”
Noah clutched his aching stomach.“Alice has the skills to choose who she works with.
“But she’s still family! She’s stabbing us in the back! I don’t believe she’s unaware of my competition with TikTok.” Luke still seethed. He’d lost face at the gala, everyone laughing at him for letting his talented sist

Chloe feigned understanding. “Sixth Brother, Alice’s just angry. She won’t actually join another
team.”
Noah looked at her.“Chloe, why did. you mislead consequences?
Chloe’s eyes welled up.

Luke immediately defended her.“Second Brother, Chloe apologized sincerely. What more do you want? You can’t punish her for Alice’s sake!”
Noah’s stomach pain intensified.“Can’t you understand?!”
“I understand perfectly. Alice’s spoiled rotten. We’ll see how long she can stay on top. Chloe, let’s go.”
Noah’s headache worsened. He finally understood Alice’s past
grievances. He donated 100,000 to Alice’s livestream, leaving a message: [The gala was a misunderstanding. It had nothing to do with Alice. As her brother, I support her choices.]
Alice felt no emotion at the shower of donations. She ended the livestream, unwilling to watch Noah’s performance.
She left the study, finding Jack gone. He seemed extremely busy. She didn’t see him for several

days. Something felt wrong, but she couldn’t quite place it. The college entrance exam results were about to be released, and she felt anxious. She messaged Jack: [Busy lately? Will you around when the results come out?]
Jack read her message, but didn’t reply.

Andrew Yates noticed.“Little Lemon’s message, right? You’ve been avoiding her, haven’t you? What happened? Did she confess?”
Jack subtly shifted his gaze, his fingers tightening around his phone. He swallowed. “She’s too young. She doesn’t understand what love is.” The gap between them was more than just age; it was insurmountable. Alice still hated those who had killed her parents. That drunken kiss had left him reeling and hiding.
“I called it. But there’s a solution. Tell her you have a girlfriend when you see her. She’ll give up then.”
Jack’s gaze was deep.“Maybe you’re right. It’s time for me to leave.”
