Chapter 117

“You said Alice wrote the code?” Ethan was stunned. ‘I… I didn’t know.” And Alice was so young?

Luke said, “Brother, I mentioned it before, but you forgot. Alice silently contributed a lot, but we ignored her.” He realized how wrong he’d been.

“You forgot? After our parents died, I stopped celebrating birthdays. You bought expensive gifts for Chloe, not me.”

‘Nonsense! I remember buying you an antique phoenix crown.”

Alice smirked.“Chloe took it.”
