Caleb glared at Alice.“Are you satisfied now? If it weren’t for her father dying to save you, she wouldn’t be an orphan. We should never have saved such an ungrateful wretch! It would have been better to let you die!”
Noah frowned.“Alice, you need to have a conscience. We should treat Chloe like family. It’s what we owe her, and it’s what you owe her too, understand?”
“Noah, someone like her, who is so ungrateful, wouldn’t have pushed Chloe into the water if she understood. Uncle Black would be better off saving a dog than saving her!” Alice felt as if she were in a wasteland, completely chilled. If she could, she would rather not have been saved. She endured the fiery pain in her lungs and hoarsely said, “It was indeed my fault, it won’t happen again.”
Because she would never do something so foolish again. Since they preferred Chloe as a sister, she would step back.
“Alice, were you really doing that on purpose? Did you know Chloe can’t swim? You could have killed her!” Noah was disappointed. He had hoped it was just an accident, but it turned out Alice SO malicious? had intentionally put Chloe in danger. When had she become
At that moment, the family doctor arrived, and Caleb turned to angrily scold Alice:“You better pray that nothing happens to Chloe; otherwise, when eldest brother returns, you’ll be in for it.” Noah took a few steps but then turned back to see Alice standing there, drenched and pale, and his heart softened a bit. He said, “Go change your clothes. The banquet is about to start.”
Alice remained silent, and soon she was left all alone.
She waited until they all left before bending over and coughing violently, as if she were trying to cough out her lungs. She swallowed the crimson taste in her throat and propped herself up to return to her room.
Lying in the bathtub, she closed her eyes, recalling how in her past life, after being homeless and darkened, she had wanted to kill Chloe. But she had failed. She was locked up in a mental hospital by eldest brother and tortured to death by the caregiver arranged by Chloe. She covered her face and laughed, her voice eerie, feeling quite good about it.
When Alice opened her eyes again, her gaze was icy cold.
After changing her clothes, she looked at her bedroom, which felt somewhat unfamiliar. In her past life, this room had ultimately been given to Chloe, while she had ended up in Chloe’s small room. Alice saw the family photo on the table, a young couple holding a baby, with six little boys standing beside them. Unfortunately, just a few years after her birth, her parents died in a car accident. The driver saved her first, but when he returned to rescue her parents, the fuel tank exploded, killing him too. Chloe was the driver’s only daughter, who had been frail and sickly since childhood. After the accident, Ethan had taken Chloe into their home. And everything changed. All her favorite brothers turned their attention to Chloe. “Chloe’s unwell, so I specially hired a chef to prepare meals suitable for her. Alice, you supervise Chloe to eat properly.”
“Alice, Chloe wants to learn painting. You’re already good at it. Let her have the teacher.”
“Alice, withdraw from the competition. Let Chloe, who’s second place, represent the school. She’s been preparing for a long time.”

“Alice, Chloe’s grades are low. Attend the same university as her so you can look after her.” Alice pressed her hand against her head, feeling a sharp pain radiating through her heart. She took shallow breaths, managing to swallow down the discomfort. She vowed never to have any ties with this family again!
She put the photo away and began to gather her belongings.
Before long, a servant knocked on the door:“Miss, the banquet has started. Mr. Welch wants you to change your clothes and go down.”
“I know.”
Alice opened the door and strode towards the lively venue outside.
The servant’s eyes widened as she murmured, “What on earth is the young lady wearing? Has she lost her mind?”
At the banquet, Chloe was dressed in a white evening gown, her long black hair cascading down her shoulders, exuding the innocent charm of an innocent, sweet girl. Noah and Caleb stood beside her, looking at Chloe with gentle affection.
The scene was undeniably heartwarming.
Noah couldn’t help but think of Alice, wishing she could be as well–behaved and understanding. In recent years, Alice’s temperament had become increasingly arrogant and overbearing.
“Alice’s here!”
