Chapter 55

After flipping the table, Alice calmly wiped her hands.

Luke stared at Alice’s unexpected behavior. ‘Alice, are you crazy?” She’d never done this before! She even burned Chloe’s things! This wasn’t Alice.

Alice kicked a chair, her voice flat and impatient.“You’re too loud. If you don’t want to eat, then don’t.” She had zero patience and didn’t want to watch Chloe’s act.

Chloe burst into tears. It’s my fault! I’m the sinner!”

“Chloe, you’re too kind. If anyone’s leaving, it should be her!”

Alice readily agreed. “Fine, I’ll go.” She’d achieved her goal and didn’t want to waste time. Noah protested.“No, Alice, you can’t go! This is your home! Where else will you go?” “Noah, cut off her credit card. Let’s see how long she lasts outside!”

Alice’s expression was indifferent. “Whatever.” She wouldn’t forget being stranded on the streets. last time, almost begging for food. You need your own money!

Alice packed a small backpack with a few clothes and her ID, leaving everything else. Noah looked panicked.“Alice, don’t listen to Luke. Didn’t you say you’d come back after the

exams?”

Alice’s gaze was steady. “Yes, I did.” She’d said that to prevent Noah and Luke from doing anything to disrupt her exams. Now the exams were over.

“Alice, we’re family, bound by blood. Even with disagreements, it’s not a big deal, right? I know you were wronged. I’ll make it up to you.” Noah hadn’t slept well, and hadn’t dared to contact her. Things were finally clear; the memories were like knives. From the moment Chloe arrived, Alice had been suffering. Noah hadn’t dared to think about it until now.

Alice smiled calmly. “Noah, don’t say that. I’m getting a part–time job after graduation, learning to- live independently. Chloe can have my room. Her father saved my life; it’s the least I can do.”

Luke scoffed. “She should have done that a long time ago.” He thought she was afraid of him cutting ties.
