Chapter 35

Alice raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp and defiant. “I remember it clearly,” she said. She would never forget.

Alice shut the door, not wanting to say anything more.

Noah stood outside, looking at the necklace, regretting what he had just said. But Alice’s words had indeed been intentional. She was smart enough to understand his meaning; was she still angry?

Noah stared at the closed door:“Alice, what am I supposed to do with you?” Alice’s mood soured. She shouldn’t have held onto any false hopes, thinking her brothers would have a change of heart and regret their actions! She had underestimated Chloe’s position in her second brother’s heart. After all, Noah was moved to tears just seeing Chloe make a bowl of plain porridge. All her years of effort in making medicinal dishes felt worthless in comparison. She would reclaim her contributions. She wouldn’t join Luke’s team, she wouldn’t make medicinal porridge for Noah, and she wouldn’t fix Ethan’s firewall security issues. She would withdraw her support from Alex, Caleb, and Finn as well.

When Alice opened the gaming forum, she found her post from a few days ago titled “Beginner’s Guide on How to Achieve a Twelve–Hit Combo” had gone viral. Many people had saved it, but there were also plenty of comments mocking her for being arrogant.

Alice didn’t bother to argue; she had summarized her experiences based on what that previous. person had said.

She received a private message. When she saw the sender’s profile, it turned out to be Luke’s account. “Hey, remember when you stole my boss last time?”

Of course, Alice remembered; it was intentional.

She didn’t reply.

He sent another message: “How about considering joining a professional team? The benefits are good. I’m impressed with your skills, and joining the team would provide professional training!” As she read this message, Alice found it ironic. Luke had finally come to terms with reality, realizing Chloe was unreliable, and was now looking for new recruits since he knew she wouldn’t join the competition?

Alice flatly rejected:“I refuse.”

After replying, she logged off.

Luke stared at those words, his mind flashing back to Alice’s face. Every time she rejected him, it was always those same words.
