Chapter 81

Noah was frustrated. He’d orchestrated everything to appease Alice, only to have Chloe steal the spotlight. Even though it was a misunderstanding, he felt uneasy. Why did Chloe always appear whenever he tried to reconcile with Alice, ruining everything?

Chloe, with teary eyes, said to Alice, “Alice, I didn’t mean to. I thought you were deliberately hiding your identity to better blend in at the company.”

Alice smirked. The white lotus’s mind worked quickly. No wonder she’d been so successful in her past life.

The team lead, seeing Chloe cry, chimed in, “Mr. Windham, this isn’t Miss Chloe’s fault. Miss Alice could have revealed her identity, but she didn’t. Whose fault is that?” He imagined himself looking heroic, perhaps winning Chloe’s heart.

Noah’s gaze turned cold. “You’re the one who hit my sister yesterday, aren’t you?” The team lead’s face paled.“She hit me first.”

“Because you said offensive things. You’re fired.”

The team lead panicked. This wasn’t going as planned. He looked at Chloe for help. Chloe said, “Second brother, he just fixed the firewall. We shouldn’t fire him.”

Noah was surprised.“Didn’t Alice fix it?”

The manager explained, “Miss Alice said her code was stolen.” He knew Alice had been involved from the start and likely possessed the skill. The team lead hadn’t solved the issue in months; how could he have suddenly cracked it?

The team lead denied it.“I didn’t steal it. I wrote it myself.”

Chloe added, “Alice said someone stole her code. She needs proof.” Without proof, Alice wouldn’t prevail.
