Alice smirked at Luke’s moralizing
The guilt–trip again.
But this time, she wouldn’t soften and forgive them.

Luke said smugly,“Alice, did you hear what they said?”
Alice’s face paled with anger,
Jack’s tone was sarcastic.“She got top grades in SAT, but her brothers ware her to forgo Harvard University and end a local college with their adopted sister.”
The neighbors were shocked.“What kind of brothers are they? Outrageous”
“Right? Harvard University and a local college aren’t comparable. They’re trying to ruin kert
Luke’s face sank.“You misunderstood.”
The neighbors shouted, “Leave her alone! Get lost!”
“She doesn’t need such incompetent brothers!”
Noah and Luke were chased away.
Alice was surprised by the neighbors‘ help.
Alice closed the door and returned to the living room.
She looked at Jack.“At the awards ceremony, I saw an ad for an Al–related investment conference in Washington Is Andrew’s company interested?”
“The Welch Group’s firewall is famous in Washington. I didn’t know you wrote the code. How many hidden talents do you have?”
Alice remembered Noah’s company developing Al in her previous life.
It took the chance and became incredibly successful
Alice participated in the research and development of Al systems throughout the process and wrote the software. Alice could do it herself in this life.
She wouldn’t do it for others again.
Jack knew about this conference. He hadn’t expected her interest.
Jack said, “It’s a good project.”
“I think so too. Maybe the company will take off because of it.”
Seeing Alice’s enthusiasm, Jack knew he’d support her.
That night, Alice streamed, in a good mood.

She was ranked top among the players and had stayed there.
After the stream, she summarized key points.
Fans commented, “Streamer is both good at studying and gaming! I’m so envious!”
I’m jealous, too! But her family is probably even more jealous since her adopted sister’s score was canceled for
cheating.”
Alice didn’t know what Chloe’s punishment would be.
Alice felt Cecelia’s death was suspicious. She wondered if the police would uncover anything.
Alice said calmly, “Let’s not talk about unpleasant things today.”
She didn’t want to discuss the Welch family.
A huge wave of virtual gifts appeared on the screen.
Recognizing Noah’s ID, Alice immediately banned him.
Since they’d severed ties, he shouldn’t bother her.
Noah felt a tremor in his hand as he paused the payment.
Noah smiled bitterly. Alice was truly heartbroken.
He’d thought she was just angry.
If only he’d realized sooner…
“Bad news, Mr. Noah. Ms. Black tried to kill herself. Mr. Luke stopped her. She’s on her way to the hospital.”
Noah quickly put down his phone.“Why would she try to kill herself?”
Davis said angrily, “The school didn’t punish her, but canceled her score. She couldn’t accept it. Mr. Noah, you need to comfort her.”
Noah rubbed his temples.“What a mess! Look at Alice. She didn’t worry me about her scores. She aced the exam!” Davis said, “Ms. Black got poor results because Ms. Alice made her sick. Now, her friend’s cheating has canceled her score. Ms. Black can’t accept it.”
“Davis, you don’t have the right to discuss Alice’s scores. The stationery you gave her was defective and almost affected her exam.”
Davis fell silent.
Noah felt increasingly guilty towards Alice.
Soon, a pale Chloe arrived at the hospital.
She looked at Noah pitifully.“Noah, I messed up. My canceled score will embarrass our family.”
Noah frowned.“Suicide solves this problem?”
Chloe sobbed as she didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t expected her score to be canceled.
Alice was the top student who went to Harvard University, while Chloe had no score. The contrast was too harsh.
After years of superiority over Alice, the sudden reversal was unbearable.
Noah comforted Chloe.“Chloe, just repeat a year. Alice improved dramatically in a few months. You can do it, too.” Hearing Alice’s name, Chloe got angrier. She didn’t want to die. She’d just wanted sympathy.
“Stop crying. Apply for a retake later.”

Noah was tired of Chloe’s tears. He didn’t like Chloe’s theatrics.
He didn’t believe Chloe was innocent in cheating.
However, the other student suddenly committed suicide and left a suicide note to admit the crime. No one could prove that it was related to Chloe.
Davis said, “Mr. Noah, why not have Ms. Alice retake the exam too?”
Noah was shocked.“What?”
Davis said, “Ms. Alice’s brilliant. A year won’t matter. Ms. Alice and Ms. Black can support each other.”
