Chapter 119
Luke was speechless at the butler’s absurd suggestion. Chloe, secretly delighted, feigned generosity.“Butler, that’s not right. Alice aced the exam; she wouldn’t repeat a year.” She planned to ensure Alice failed next year.
Luke said coldly, “Good.”
Chloe bit her lip..
The butler continued, “Master Two, if Miss Alice were here, she’d be a good influence on Miss Chloe. It would make the Winds look good.”
Luke’s gaze was icy. The butler’s voice trailed off.“Otherwise, Miss Alice is the valedictorian, and Miss Chloe got zero. People will say the Winds mistreated Miss Chloe.”
“Mistreated Chloe? Ridiculous! Butler, are you senile?”
Luke threatened, Say that again, and you’re fired.” He wouldn’t tolerate this. He’d only kept the butler because of his long service, overlooking the stationery incident. Chloe quickly mediated.“Butler, stop. I can’t hinder Alice’s future. I’ll work hard.”
Luke’s tone was cold. “Rest in your room.”
Resentful, Chloe returned to her room. The butler followed.“Miss Chloe, don’t kill yourself! That girl’s body was…awful.”

Chloe was furious. “I only asked you to silence Li Hong. Why did you kill her?” The police interrogation had terrified her; she hadn’t intended Li Hong to die. *That girl was stubborn. Only a dead person keeps secrets.*

She quickly dismissed the thought. Multiple murders would lead to
She texted back: “I’ve sent the money. Don’t contact me again!”
The butler knocked.“Miss Chloe, Li Hong’s family is looking for you. I stopped them. If they spoke to Master Two, it wouldn’t be good for you.”
“Thank you, Butler. Make sure they don’t talk to Brother Two. His attitude has changed.”
Chloe was tense, fearing her secret would be revealed. Luke and Luke’s attitudes had changed; she had to improve her image.
Overhearing Luke and Luke, she learned:
“Brother Two, Brother wants to cut ties with Alice. What do we do?”
“He’s just angry. I’ll focus the company on Peking; Alice will be there. It’ll be easier to see her.” “What about Chloe? She needs to retake the exam.”
“She can hire a driver and a maid. We don’t need to do anything, Luke’s attitude towards Chloe

Chloe’s hatred intensified. She didn’t want to repeat a year; she couldn’t fall behind Alice. Only Ethan could help.
Alice contacted TikTok and returned Luke’s donation. She didn’t need their money!
For two weeks, Alice worked on the AI project at Gator’s company.
Luke called. “Alice, your Harvard University acceptance letter arrived. Come get it.”

“Of course, family doesn’t need favors.” Alice hung up, smirking. She found Jack. “I need to go to the Winds‘ house. The acceptance letter was sent there.”
Jack frowned.“They’re using the letter to make you come back?”
“Yes, but I have something else. to do there; it’ll avoid future problems.” Jack, seeing her determination, said, “I’ll take you.”
They drove to the Winds‘ mansion. Seeing her old home, she felt a mix of emotions; she hadn’t been back since moving out.
Jack looked at the house. Need me to come in?”
“No. I’ll call if anything happens.”
She reached the door, entered the code, and it was wrong. A mocking smile touched her lips. She rang the doorbell. The butler appeared.
Alice smirked.“When did you change the code?”
The butler’s tone was cold.“Miss Alice, Master Ethan forbade you from entering without permission. The code is now Miss Chloe’s birthday!”
