Chapter 110
Ethan was embarrassed by Alice’s outburst. He didn’t expect Alice to act so recklessly. Her stubbornness had
intensified.
Ethan looked at her and said, “Enough! Why did you taunt Chloe?”
“Chloe cheated! It’s a fact. Everyone will find out soon. The Welch family’s adopted daughter is a cheater. Luckily, I’m the top scorer. But it has nothing to do with you.” Alice’s words were sharp.
She thought the distance would bring peace, but the Welch family was relentless. She’d resort to extreme measures. If they made her miserable, she’d return the favor.
The lead investigator finally spoke. “It’s clear now. Chloe cheated. We’ll inform the school to deal with this after our discussion.”
“I didn’t cheat!” Chloe screamed. Her eyes were filled with resentment.
Alice smirked. She glanced at Ethan, Noah, and Luke.“She says she didn’t cheat. Were you all blind?” Alice wanted to see how Chloe would deny the overwhelming evidence.
Noah questioned Chloe, “Did you cheat? Tell the truth. What happened?” He also saw her cheating in the video. There were rumors that Chloe cheated during the mock exam, but another student had been punished back then. Looking back, he thought Chloe’s behavior was suspicious. He just didn’t expect her to cheat on the SAT!
“Noah, I… I actually passed answers to the girl in front of me. She wanted to copy my answers!” Chloe was anxious and blurted out. She was good at shifting the blame to others.
Alice knew what Chloe planned to do. The girl in front of Chloe was her follower, Cecelia. History was repeating itself. What happened to Lucy now happened to Cecelia again.
After thinking of this, Chloe confidently told the investigators, “The girl in front of me wanted to copy my answers. My scores are always higher than hers. I wouldn’t copy hers.”
“So you admit to collaborating in cheating with the girl in front of you?”
“I didn’t cheat. She copied my answers.” Hope flickered in Chloe’s heart. If she could shift the blame onto Cecelia like last time, she’d be fine. Last time, it wasn’t her who was punished.
The investigator said coldly, “Whether it’s copying or being copied, you’re both cheating!”
Chloe panicked and said hurriedly, “But I’m innocent.”
Alice raised her eyebrow. “You know cheating is a crime, but you still did it, and you call yourself innocent.”
Chloe burst into tears. She looked at Ethan. “Ethan, believe me! It’s the girl in front of me who wanted to copy my
answers!”
Ethan felt awkward. The video was clear. It was hard to deny. He looked at the investigators and said, “We’ll hire a lawyer to deal with this.”
“It’s okay. We’ll follow the procedure anyway. We are leaving now. We’ll inform you of the results later.” Before leaving, the lead investigator looked at Alice.“Alice, my daughter admires you. She thinks you’re brilliant and amazing at gaming. Could you send me a signature to inspire her to study hard!”
“Alice, my son loves gaming too, but it hurts his grades. I’ll make him learn from you to do a good job in both gaming and studying!” They both took out a printed photo of Alice.
Surprised by the fan items, Alice took the cards and signed them with “Study hard, and make progress every day.” The investigators left with the cards.

The room was tense and awkward.
Noah asked Chloe with a long face, “Now that they left, tell us why you cheated. This is so disappointing Despite Chloe’s denials, the truth was clear.
Luke was also disappointed. He found Chloe was different from the girl in his heart. She was cheating, lying, and shifting blame. If it weren’t for the video, he wouldn’t have believed it. Had Chloe manipulated him before?
Luke felt uneasy. He didn’t dare to look at Alice or think about it.
Chloe sobbed, “I didn’t cheat! My friend asked me to pass answers to her. I was soft–hearted…”
Before Chloe finished speaking, she fainted.
“Alice rolled her eyes at Chloe’s dramatic fainting.
Ethan panicked. “Chloe fainted! Call a doctor!”
Alice grabbed Noah’s water and splashed it on Chloe’s face.
Ethan yelled, “She’s fainted! What are you doing?”
Chloe still closed her eyes and didn’t wake up.
Alice said coldly, “You’re still acting. Then I’ll use boiling water.”
Chloe immediately opened her eyes. However, there was no boiling water. She’d been tricked by Alice!
Chloe felt embarrassed. Then she started crying, “Alice, what are you doing?”
Mana
“Aren’t you fainting just now? I help you to wake you. You should thank me.” Alice put down the cup.“Don’t faint until you explain this clearly. Otherwise, next time, I’ll use urine.”
Chloe was furious. “Why are you treating me like this? I’m a victim! I was soft–hearted and passed the answer to my friend. If I’d known the consequences, I wouldn’t have done it.” She insisted on the story of passing answers to a friend. Even if she was punished, she could explain. She couldn’t let them know she’d cheated!
Ethan shouted, “Enough! Stop arguing!” He didn’t expect his family to be a mess. No wonder Noah got sick and was in the hospital.
Ethan said, “Noah, have a rest. I’ll take them home.” Family issues shouldn’t be aired in public.
Noah was worried and got up.“I’ll go home too.”
Luke stepped forward.“Noah, just stay here. I’ll go home and watch over them.” Luke thought, “I’ll protect Alice. I should make up for what I did before.”
But Alice just stood there. She looked at them coldly.“When did I say I’d go back to the Welch’s house?” She was there for the meeting. Mike took care of her in her previous life. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to the hospital. But it was worthwhile because she saw Chloe being exposed today.
Ethan was furious.“Alice, if you leave, you’re not a member of the Welch family anymore!”
Alice sneered, “I’d prefer that!” She never wanted anything to do with the Welch family.
“Alice, don’t go!” Noah stumbled out of bed and grabbed her. His eyes turned red and he begged, “Ethan is angry. He doesn’t mean it. Don’t leave!” He knew he had been wrong. He wanted to make up for her!
Seeing Noah’s pale face, Alice said calmly, “I might stay, but I have a condition.”
“Just say it! I’ll get you everything, even the stars!” Noah was overjoyed. He knew that Alice still cared about the Welch family! He just needed to calm her down!
eyes were cold.“The Welch family can only have one daughter. Chloe or me. Noah, make a decision now.”
