Chapter 13

Menu

When Alice heard the words “family,” she couldn’t help but feel it was absurd. She thought the same way in her past life. But just before she was about to claim the championship, she got replaced by Chloe. What kind of family was that?

Alice decisively replied, “I’m not planning to join the team; I want to focus on my studies and prepare for exams.”

Luke shot back sarcastically, “Oh, but you were begging me to teach you how to play games, chasing me at night for training, and saying you wanted to be a full member. Why didn’t you mention studying then?”

A familiar ache tugged at Alice’s heart. The reason she chased after her sixth brother to play games was to build a better relationship and have more common topics to discuss! But now, that seemed unnecessary.

Alice replied, “It’s just that playing games has been affecting my studies; my scores dropped a lot in the last monthly exam, so I don’t want to continue gaming.”

Luke was speechless.“Fine. Don’t regret it. When the competition starts, outsiders will only see Chloe and think she’s the real member of the Welch family.”

If Alice was so ungrateful, then so be it; he didn’t care.

“That’s fine,” Alice didn’t want to waste more words and turned to leave the dining hall.

Back in her room, she adjusted her emotions and started focusing on her homework, refreshing her memory on the knowledge she had forgotten.

The next day after school, Alice and Chloe arrived at the school gates. The driver waited outside.
