Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 103

Alice’s voice was icy.“To be precise, it hasn’t been that way for a very long time.”

“You want

“You’ve said that many times. Have you forgotten?” she countered.

Luke looked slightly guilty.“I

guilty. “I was just venting. I never meant it seriously.” “But I did. Actions speak louder than words,” Alice said, her gaze unwavering as she looked at her two brothers.“I never say things I don’t mean. Goodbye. Or rather, it’s best if we don’t see each other again.”

Her expression was serious, her features sharp, her eyes dark and intense. As she turned, she saw Jack and Gator. Jack’s eyes held a hint of approval. Gator clapped. “Well said!” Seeing them eased her tension. She’d avoided this confrontation, fearing it would make her seem too invested in the family, but her brother’s interference with Jack, forcing him to the hospital, had been the final straw.

“Alice, don’t think that just because you got good grades you can abandon us! Without the Winds, you’re nothing!” Luke’s voice cracked with anger, his eyes burning. He couldn’t believe how much this meant to her; why hadn’t she said anything before? He’d thought she didn’t care. Alice turned, her gaze cold.“Isn’t it true that without me, you wouldn’t have even made it to the esports finals? Isn’t it true that without me, that gaming software partnership would have been canceled?”

A flush of embarrassment crept across Luke’s face. He couldn’t deny the truth. Gator added fuel to the fire.“Without you guys, Little Lemon’s grades skyrocketed, she became a top streamer, and tons of esports teams are throwing themselves at her. Leaving you guys is the best thing that ever happened to her.”

Jack’s voice was cold.“Ask yourselves, what have you done for her all these years?”

Luke instinctively retorted, “What do you mean, nothing? But he couldn’t come up with anything beyond Alice revolving around him. He’d taken her contributions for granted, forgetting that giving requires reciprocity.

Alice’s tone was flat. “Don’t use that blood is thicker than water‘ nonsense. It’s pathetic.”

And with that, she walked away.
