Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 29

Alice stood there, expressionless, watching them.

Oh, they thought she was still the same Alice from before? They had never bothered to ask for her opinion, casually sweeping everything under the rug as if it were a grand favor to her.

She didn’t care anymore.

Luke felt a twinge of guilt, unable to meet Alice’s gaze, waiting for Noah to step in.

Noah, as the older, continued, “Alice, after this match, you’ve proven your strength. No one can replace your position in the team.”

With that, Alice should feel reassured, right?

Chloe’s face darkened with resentment. She’d worked so hard; why did Alice effortlessly take her place? She might lack talent, but her effort was comparable.

Luke looked at Alice hopefully; although he didn’t speak, he also wanted Alice to join the team. They had laid out the olive branch; surely Alice shouldn’t be stubborn anymore.

Alice’s gaze was cold.“I refuse.”

Luke was distraught.“Why?”

“I competed because they insulted my parents, not because I wanted to join the team.”

“But clearly practiced secretly, didn’t you do that to come back?”

Alice didn’t just become this skilled overnight.

She must have been practicing behind the scenes; what else could it be for if not to join the team?

Luke didn’t believe her, staring straight at her.

Alice’s features were delicate, her eyes cold as ice:“No.”

Luke’s heart sank, he couldn’t help but ask, “Alice, do I need to apologize personally for you to forgive me?”

Alice paused. “It’s not about forgiveness; there are more teams in this world than just the Welch family’s.” She loved competing, but not just for the Landing Team. The message was clear.

“Alice, I know you hate me!”
