Alice''s calm expression made Chloe break out in a cold sweat. Something was wrong. Alice had never been thispliant; this bitch definitely had a backup n.


    Luke''s father was satisfied. [It''s good you''vee to your senses. Don''t think winning once makes you powerful. To seed in Cloud City, you need the Windhams.] Alice scoffed.“[Rely on the Windhams? Starve? The team is failing, and the Al project is gone.]” Luke''s father''s face darkened.“[Didn''t your second brother offer you hispany? Resign from Maple Leaf. Tell the director you framed the Windhams, causing Maple Leaf''s disqualification!]"


    [Mr. Windham, did you brush your teeth this morning? Your breath is so bad'']"


    Alice''s gaze was mocking.


    Luke''s father was confused."[What do you mean? I''m doing this for you. Take over your second brother''spany, work for the Windhams.


    Don''t work for outsiders orpete with the family. Call the director and thewyers to drop the charges!]”


    Aliceughed.“[When did I say I''d drop the charges?]*


    Luke''s father was stunned, then angry.“[Are you ying me? Didn''t you agree?]"


    "[That was an agreement? Don''t tter yourself.]”


    "[You said my words were reasonable. Wasn''t that agreement?]"


    Alice''s tone was light. [Yes, I did. Dropping the charges is impossible, but I''ll only sue one person.]"


    Luke''s father was wary."[What do you mean?]"


    "[Literally. Chloe and Luke. I''ll only sue one; the other is free.]"


    Alice''s smile widened."[Before the trial, decide who takes the me and goes to jail]


    "[Alice, are you crazy?!"]


    Chloe''s face changed. She knew that bitch wouldn''t easily agree. A choice between two people! This was cruel! Alice


    drive was trying to


    a wedge between her and Luke!


    Alice clicked her tongue. [This is for your own good. One person in jail is better than two.


    I''m doing this out of family consideration. If you refuse, go to jail together. You siblings can support each other. That''s nice, too.]"


    Alice entered the stadium.


    Luke''s father was furious."[Alice, stop! How could you devise such a vicious n!]*


    Choosing between siblings would create animosity! No one wanted jail!


    Alice didn''t turn, smiling.


    turn, smiling. If they were so close, they should choose wisely. Inside the stadium, Alice sat down, looking at Chloe."[Do you think my n is cruel?]* “[No! It''s brilliant! It rips off their fake masks, exposing their hypocrisy! They''ll know better next time!]”


    Chloe had heard everything and had wanted to speak up, but Alice didn''t need her help.


    STOL


    Alice nodded.“[Only when they suffer will they understand what I went through.]” Let them experience it. She wanted to see if their sibling bond would survive the test of greed! The match began. Alice looked at John Wilson, her expression distant. John Wilson hadn''t been at the finals in her past life. If he had, she probably wouldn''t have won. This time, she''d refused Luke''s team, preventing them from reaching the finals; Chloe wouldn''t have a chance to steal her victory. Chloe couldn''t take what was hers this time!


    Alice was conflicted. Was John Wilson the person from her past life? He must have known how much she wanted to win this game; maybe that''s why he''d withdrawn, letting her win.


    Alice was lost in thought during the match.


    Her phone buzzed:"[Watch the game.]"


    It was Jack. Was he here? He and Garrett knew John Wilson; it made sense.


    Alice looked around; the stadium was vast.


    She replied: "[Where are you?]"


    [Inner-field lounge.]"


    In the inner field. Alice remembered the lounge had windows overlooking the field. How could he see her from so far?


    In the lounge, Garrett poked Jack.“[Give me the binocrs. You''ve stared long enough. You said you weren''t looking!]"


    Jack had taken the binocrs after saying he''d seen Alice. Unreliable friends!


    Jack tossed the binocrs back, taking out his phone, zooming in on Alice. He took a picture and sent it to her.


    She didn''t reply; Jack smiled.


    Garrett leaned over."[What did you send her? You''re smiling.]"


    Jack flipped his phone over, refusing to answer.


    Garrett grabbed the binocrs."[Thewyers are ready. Court will be months away, but we''ll win! Jail time for the Windhams and that toxic lotus!]"


    Alice''s life would be peaceful. No more disturbances.


    "[Without


    the toxic lotus, maybe Alice''s


    brothers


    will be normal!]"


    Jack''s expression turned cold."[They don''t deserve to be near Alice.]"


    “[They hurt her; they deserve no forgiveness!]"


    Jack''s phone buzzed. He saw Alice''s furious emoji; his stern features softened. She was angry. He''d taken a


    bad


    picture! From far away, it made her look silly! Outrageous!


    Alice texted:"[Delete that photo!]"


    He smirked and replied: "[Deleted.]"


    "[I don''t believe you. I''m checking your phone!]"


    Jack paused.“[Only my girlfriend can check.]"


    Only his girlfriend? Wasn''t he single?
