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.

Ethan stammered, “I thought you wrote it; she just helped.” He’d assumed Luke was making excuses for Alice. He hadn’t expected it to be true.

His secretary urged, “Boss, the tech department is helpless. What do we do? If this leaks, the company is in big trouble!”

“What are the tech guys doing? They can’t even match a girl? Ethan’s pride wouldn’t let him back. down. He glared at Alice.“What are you doing? You’re retaliating because I forgot you wrote the code?” It was just a forgotten detail; was it so important? Alice was family; contributing was expected.

“Yes,” Alice readily admitted, her gaze cold.“Brother, you have bigger problems now. Fix this before all your secrets leak.”

“Alice, how dare you? You ate, drank, and lived off Lu Corp.’s money. You’re trying to sabotage the company?! Don’t you have a conscience?!”

Alice stood at the doorway, cold. “First, our parents left each of us a trust fund. My education expenses came from there.”

“Fine! But your living expenses for all these years–your food, clothing, and shelter–came from Lu Corp! We gave you expensive gifts on birthdays!”

“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.”
