After Alice left, Chloe, humiliated, burst into tears. That bitch, Alice! She regretted not pushing Alice off the roof. She''d left a trail.


    Furious, her phone rang–Luke, “Chloe, I''m at school. Meet


    I''m at school. Meet me. I need to talk."


    Chloe sobbed, “Luke, I''m on the rooftop. Alice tried to


    to kill me! I''m terrified!"


    "I''ming."


    She made herself look even more distraught to gain his sympathy.


    Alice slowly descended the stairs. She saw Luke running towards her, looking worried. The white lotus''s backup arrived quickly.


    Luke stopped when he saw her, her cold expression unnerving him. She ignored him, walking past as if they were strangers.


    His heart sank. He called out, "Alice!"


    She didn''t respond. He pursued her."Alice, Chloe called. You met her on the rooftop and tried to push her off!*


    Alice raised an eyebrow."Are you using me?"


    Luke''s tone had been harsh, partly due to her earlier indifference. He softened his voice."I just want to know why. Chloe is your sister."


    "Chloe doesn''t deserve to be my family. She belongs in jail!"


    Luke was taken aback.“But attempted murder is also a crime."


    “Do you have proof?"


    "What proof is needed?"


    “Oh, no proof? Then why were you asking for evidence earlier?” Alice''s eyes were dark."Chloe harmed me, and I needed evidence. But when Chloe says I harmed her, no evidence is needed, right?”


    "Alice, that''s not what I meant."


    "What did you mean then?” She saw his demeanor shift from confident to guilty, then to silence.


    Alice said coldly, "Don''t act remorseful and try to reconcile. It''s disgusting." Luke was speechless. He realized his bias. He''d acted impulsively.


    He went


    to the rooftop. Chloe ran into his arms, sobbing."Luke, I almost died!"


    "What did Alice say?"


    "She thought I was involved in the ident and came to confront me. But it was the Garcia family; I''m innocent!" She wouldn''t take responsibility. She''d shift the me to the Garcia. family. This would protect her and her resurrected father.


    Luke was lost in thought, remembering Alice''s words.


    “Luke, you have to help me! I almost died!"


    Luke recovered. "You''re fine. Alice just wanted revenge; she didn''t want to kill you. Let it go. a victim too."


    She''s


    Chloe was furious. Luke would have confronted Alice before! Why had he changed? She cried, "But I almost died!"


    “Chloe, you''re always sensible. Alice left, but we''re still family. Don''t hold a grudge.” He paused. "There''s no proof Alice did this, is there?"


    Chloe was speechless. Those were words usually directed at Alice! The tables had turned. She couldn''t press further; her image would be damaged. She had to swallow her anger.


    Alice returned to the dorm; her roommates were there.


    Chloe saw her bandage. "You''re injured?”


    "Yes, but I''m fine now."


    Chloe sneered, “Alice, were you faking illness to avoid the tryouts?"


    Alice smiled. Honestly, the entire club couldn''t beat me."


    Chloe scoffed. "You''re just bragging. You couldn''t even attend the tryouts." Alice ignored her. Chloe boasted, "There''s aworking event at the club tonight. Many big streamers areing. Too bad you missed it. Only club members can attend." Chloe said, "You''re skilled. You could join another team and go to the national team."


    “I know. Thanks." Alice hadn''t decided about the club yet. It didn''t matter much to her.


    As she was about to shower, a call came from the Douyu livestream manager. "Ms. Alice, I called and texted you, but you didn''t reply."


    “I was in a car ident. I just got discharged."


    “Oh, you''re at Harvard University. There''s aworking event at the Harvard. esports club tonight. The invitation is in your phone."


    Alice considered."Okay." It would be a good distraction.


    Chloe offered to get autographs. Alice refused.


    After showering, she saw several missed calls from unknown numbers. Then, another call came,


    Alice answered."Hello?"


    "You''re Alice Lu, right?" The voice was arrogant.


    Alice''s voice turned cold. "Yes. Who''s this?"


    “I''m awyer representing the Garcia family. Regarding you and Ms. Garcia Max, we need to talk.”


    "There''s nothing to talk about. I hope she reforms."


    Thewyer was furious. "You''re bold. Aren''t you afraid of implicating the Windham family?"


    Alice smirked. Implicating the Windham family? Now that would be interesting.
