Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice)

Alice remembered that school heartthrob, Garrett, who transferred from Washington. He was at wealthy young master from San Francisco, apparently trying to lay low after causing some trouble at his old school. He was high-profile, driving luxury cars, wearing designer clothes, and a skilled gamer. In her past life, after Chloe had taken her spot, Garrett had pursued Chloe, and they'd ended up together..

Alice chuckled as she casually stuffed the love letter into her desk without even glancing at it. She didn't even mention anything about contact information.

Chloe was seething."Alice, why didn't you open them and take

look??"

"I've gotten them before," Alice replied. The last time she got love letters was back in elementary school, before her parents had their issues and before Chloe entered her life. Chloe felt a pang of resentment."What's she so proud of? Her expression darkened. How could Alice, who she had manipulated into a timid little quail, suddenly change so much? Was she trying to steal Garrett?

After school, Alice packed her bag and left without a second thought. Chloe lingered for a while, then went over to grab all the love letters from Alice's desk.

Alice went to the

the infirmary, wanting to surprise Jack, but he wasn't there.

She pulled out her phone texted him:“My grades are out, I made the top ten! I might have a shot. at Harvard University!” She wanted to share her happiness with him.

After sending the message, she felt great anticipation for Jack's

Noah appeared. “Alice, I heard you did well this time.

Seeing Noah standing in front of her, her smile faded a bit.“Okay.”

He handed her a gift box. To celebrate your great results, I picked this out for you liked this brand of jewelry?"

reply.

Congratulations."

you. Didn't you

you say

Alice glanced at the gemstone necklace inside the box. Was this supposed to make up for the emerald necklace he had given away? Just then, Chloe walked over and caught sight of the necklace, her expression almost cracking.

"What a beautiful necklace! Alice, wear it for Noah."

Alice lifted her eyelids slightly."I don't like it."

Noah's expression was awkward. "If you don't like it, I'll exchange it for something else. What do you prefer?”

After Alice refused the emerald necklace, Noah went out and bought a new one. Surely this would be acceptable, right?

Alice could see he was trying to make amends, but the hurt she felt couldn't just be erased with at piece of jewelry.

Chloe saw the shift in Noah's attitude; was he trying to reconcile with Alice? This wasn't what she expected. Chloe said smoothly, "Alice, Noah is a straight guy; how would he know what kind of jewelry girls like? You have no idea how envious I am of you!"

Alice, feeling a bit impatient, shot back, Then you should also aim for the top ten."

Stop whining and pretending to be weak!

Chloe's eyes welled up."I didn't do well this time! If it weren't for Lucy's situation affecting me, I wouldn't have done so poorly."

Noah said awkwardly, “I know. It's not your fault. Let's get in the car; I'll take you both out for a celebratory meal. He wanted to change the subject.

Chloe's expression faltered. What was there to celebrate when she had done poorly? It was all about Alice's

success.

She said resentfully, "Alice, how did you improve so much? Do you have some secret or shortcut?" Alice said flatly, "Focus on studying, not gaming."

Chloe's eyes filled with tears."But Alice, you've received

Noah immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Chloe explained, "Alice is super popular at school now! Even students from other schools are trying to get her contact info!"

Noah frowned, recalling Jack, and warned, "Alice, focus on your studies. D

Alice

any leaned back, responding lazily. She wasn't interested in Chloe noticed Noah wasn't getting angry and felt a sense of unease. Noah looked at her."Chloe, try your best next time. There's still a chance for the college entrance exam; nothing should. affect your performance."noveldrama

Chloe was frustrated. Her poor score was because of the competition; but the Welch family didn't think to compensate her at all! The emerald necklace she had received was even being taken back! How infuriating!

Noah's attitude towards Alice was clearly changing; she had to find a way to stop it! The car arrived at a fancy restaurant. Alice got out feeling down. Looking at Chloe and Noah, she thought she'd rather be home studying!

Chloe exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, this restaurant! Noah, you're so biased! I asked you to take me here before, and you didn't agree."

Alice glanced at the restaurant. In her past life, it was famous and exclusive, requiring membership. Still, many wealthy people took pride in having a membership there. It had probably just opened recently.

Noah replied, "I was busy before; today I'm taking you both out."

"Noah, I'm riding on Alice's coattails, but I'm still satisfied!"

Chloe secretly took out her phone to snap a few pictures, ready to show off on social media.

Noah looked at Alice; she wasn't as excited as Chloe.

As Alice waited for the elevator, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the second floor.

Her gaze paused: was that Jack?

She thought she might be mistaken, but that profile really looked like his! He was with a beautiful woman, long black hair and legs for days.

Alice quickly averted her gaze, her heart racing.

She had just texted him but hadn't received. a reply. Was he on a date? Her feelings became complicated. Jack was handsome and had a good job; it was normal for someone to pursue him. But she had asked him if he had a girlfriend, and he said no. Had things changed so quickly?

Alice walked into the private room, distracted, checking her phone for Jack's reply. No message. Was he just too busy to respond?

"Alice,

what's wrong?

Ethan's calling; hurry up, he's usually very busy." Alice snapped back to reality, seeing Noah holding the phone, the video call already connected.

She saw Ethan on the other side, his features serious, exuding an intimidating presence. She quietly approached. "Brother."

Alice only greeted him and fell silent.

The atmosphere turned cold.

In the past, she would always try to lighten the mood when she saw her brother, acting all sweet and

obedient.

But in her past life, he had personally kicked her out of the Welch family and cut off her allowance.

So now, she wasn't going to be overly friendly.

Ethan frowned.“Alice, your grades improved, but don't get too proud and throw tantrums. Chloe's grades have dropped significantly; you need to help her out since we're family."

Alice scoffed; it was the same as Noah's words.

Feeling impatient, she replied, “Noah hired a tutor; I'm not needed."

“Alice, what kind of attitude is that? I'm not asking you; I'm ordering you to help Chloe improve her grades, got

it?”

As the head of the family, Ethan was always strict with his younger siblings, never backing down.

He had heard that Alice had changed a lot and was distancing herself from the family out of spite.

Alice looked at him slowly. "I refuse."

Ethan immediately lost his temper.“Say that again!"
