Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 23

Alice was a bit taken aback by the principal’s words. She never expected him to bring this up. Glancing at Luke and Chloe across from her, she maintained a calm demeanor. However, Luke’s expression had turned quite awkward; it was always Alice chasing after him, never the other way around. He was used to being the big brother, always on a pedestal. Now, asking him to apologize felt like a fate worse than death.

Chloe quickly interjected, “Alice, you’ve become so amazing! You’ve been secretly studying at home; and we didn’t know it. You get such great grades, and they suspect you of cheating. Luke rushed to the school to help you out; he actually cares about you!”

After Chloe gave Luke an out, he coldly replied,“Chloe, stop. Some ingrates just won’t understand.”

He was clearly pleased with Chloe’s performance; that was how a sister should act. Alice shot him a half–smile, “Yes, Luke came to school. Then what? He told the teacher I cheated, forced me to write an apology, and publicly humiliated myself. Do you want that kind of ‘help‘?”

Chloe was left speechless.

Luke, embarrassed and furious, snapped, “Alice, were the one who worked hard in secret without telling us, making me think you cheated! Sure, your grades improved, but was that little stunt really necessary?”

The principal interjected, looking at the homeroom teacher, “Who was the first to accuse Alice of cheating? Bring them in to apologize.”

The teacher called the two lackeys forward. They were clueless about the situation, thinking Alie had actually cheated, and smugly said, “Teacher, we said Alice cheated to get those good grades. Isn’t it clear now?”

The homeroom teacher nodded.“Exactly, it’s been confirmed that Alice didn’t cheat. You two need to apologize to her right now.”

The lackeys were shocked. Alice hadn’t cheated? How could that be?

Chloe played the role of a good Samaritan.“Alice didn’t cheat. I told you not to spread rumors. Apologize to her.” With that, she cleared herself of any blame.

The lackeys reluctantly apologized.“Sorry, we were wrong, it was our mistake; we shouldn’t have said anything.”

The teacher smiled,“Alice has worked hard. Chloe, your grades dropped significantly.”

Chloe felt embarrassed, especially since Alice had done so well; it was downright humiliating. Chloe, with red–rimmed eyes, said, “I–I just wasted some time; I won’t let it happen again.” Luke also felt a bit ashamed, “What’s the point of good grades? When it comes to gaming, making money is way more important than this.”

Chloe actually agreed with that.
