Alice sneered upon hearing that.
The Welch family hadn’t changed a bit.
She raised her eyelids, her eyes holding a hint of coldness.“I know.”
“Since you know, why are you still working part–time at the Maple Company? If you’re short on money, you can just tell us. Even though Ethan cut off your allowance, Noah and I wouldn’t do that,” Luke said, a hint of anger in his
voice.
After all, Alice was a member of the Welch family. He didn’t understand why she worked part–time at a rival
company.
Alice stood up.“I’ve cut ties with the Welch family. It’s none of your business where I work.” “Alice, even if you hate Ethan, you shouldn’t treat Noah this way, right?”
“To me, you’re all the same,” Alice replied, her expression distant and indifferent.“I made it clear before. We should like strangers when we meet.”
Noah stopped Luke.“Forget it. Let’s go back to our booth now. Alice is still upset. Don’t push her so hard.”

Alice watched the Welch brothers leave, and she remembered that in her previous life, Noah had indeed attended this investment promotion conference.
Back then, Noah shone brightly at the conference with the artificial intelligence system she had participated in developing.
Chloe, with her sweet talk and ability to get along with everyone, had been brought along by Noah for publicity. But Alice had once again been left in the shadows, and in the end, no one knew she was the one who had developed it. This time, Alice also wanted to see how far Noah’s company could go without her involvement.
Soon, the attendees of the investment promotion conference started checking out the works presented.
When they reached Alice’s booth, the artificial intelligence system she had developed left everyone in awe.
The conference attendees looked at Alice.“Young lady, did you develop all of this yourself?”
Alice nodded.“Yes, I did.”
“You’re so young and yet so excellent. Which university did you graduate from?”
Alice paused for a moment.“I haven’t gone to university yet.”
Someone from the nearby company explained for Alice, “Ms. Welch is this year’s SAT top scorer in New York and has been admitted to Harvard University. She’s truly exceptionally talented.”
“Wow, that’s impressive, young lady. You have a bright future ahead.”
Many people gathered around Alice, showering her with praise.
The brothers couldn’t even get near her.
Noah was surprised to see Alice surrounded by people.“Alice has really grown up.”
Luke’s expression was very complicated.“Noah, how come I never noticed how amazing Alice is?”
He thought about how Alice had a gaming talent, was the top student in the city, and now was excelling in developing artificial intelligence.
In contrast, Chloe was vulnerable, terrible at gaming and studying, and even had her score revoked for cheating.

He wondered why he hadn’t noticed how outstanding Alice was before.
Luke had always thought Chloe was great, but now clearly, Alice was the most outstanding on
Noah said with a wry smile, “So we owe Alice a lot. We need to find a way to make it up to her and earn her forgiveness.”
“That’s right. We’re still family. Alice will surely forgive us
Noah nodded, determined to make amends with Alice no matter what
After the investment promotion conference ended, several companies came to consult Alice about future cooperation
However, she was not in charge of these matters. But since Andrew had gone to the restroom and hadrit returned, the took their business cards for Andrew to contact them to discuss the partnerships later,
Alice called Andrew, “Hey, did something happen to you? A bunch of people just came by to talk about collaborations.
1-1 had a stomachache. That’s why I took so long, I’ll be back in a bit.”
After ending the call, Andrew came out from the VIP room and glanced at the chairman of the investment promotion conference. “Sir, could you please help that young woman with the follow–up Al project at the Maple Company?
‘Rest assured, Mr. Yates. That young lady is quite outstanding”
After making his request, Andrew called Jack, “It’s all set, but Alice is so talented. She can shine on her own”
“But I don’t want her to work so hard,” Jack said, currently on his private jet. His computer screen was filled with photos of Alice from the event she had attended that day.
Jack’s phone buzzed with good news from Alice.
His lips curved into a gentle smile as he replied, “Congratulations.”
The assistant had never seen Jack smile so gently before. He respectfully said, “Mr. Wilson, your business trip has finally ended. We nearly can’t hide it from your mother and grandmother any longer.”
Nobody in the family currently knew that Jack had been to New York.
They were also unaware that Jack had stayed there for so long for a girl.
If the Wilson family found out, it would cause an uproar again as Jack was already engaged.
With his expression back to normal, Jack put down his phone after sending the message and said, “I’ll have dinner at home tonight.”
Alice received Jack’s reply, which only contained one word, “Congratulations.”
He was as sparse with words as ever, and she couldn’t help but be amazed.
After the investment promotion conference ended, Alice packed up her things and was about to leave.
Noah and Luke walked over, both with expressions of caution and flattery.
Noah spoke carefully, “Alice, you’re new to Washington. And the school hasn’t started yet. It’s not convenient for you to live by yourself. Why don’t you stay with us?”
Luke hurriedly nodded.“Yeah, our family has a house in Washington. The biggest room is for you. We won’t have Chloe live with us.”
They could shower Alice with kindness and make up for their previous abuses of her in Washington without Chloe
present.
“No, thanks. I just bought a house in Washington myself. You can leave that big room for Chloe. After all, her father

did a favor for the Welch family. Luke, you shouldn’t be so mean. What would people think of the Welch family if they heard about it?” Alice said with a mocking tone.
She was deliberately being sarcastic.

Her words left Luke feeling somewhat bummed. “How could you afford a house in Washington where the housing prices are so high? Did that physician working at your school give you the money?”
“Watch your mouth. I earned this money myself. I earned millions of dollars of commission as a top Shrimp Live streamer. Why can’t I afford a house?”
Alice’s words left Luke speechless.
He recalled that Alice was now a top streamer on Shrimp Live, and the gaming strategies she wrote were used by many professional teams.
Noah hurriedly explained, “Alice, Luke was just worried about you. He didn’t mean anything else.”
“Stop right there. I don’t want this kind of concern that’s laced with malicious speculation and slander. I’ll be better off without you!”
Not wanting to deal with them any longer, Alice picked up her backpack and headed out.
She had previously made a lot of effort to fit in with her brothers and win their approval, but they never gave her any
attention.
After she severed her ties with them, they kept pestering her now that she was doing well.
It was really a turn of the tables. She thought, “How could I be so stupid in my previous life?”
Noah stepped in front of Alice.“Since we’ve run into each other, Alice, let’s have dinner together.”
Alice frowned.“Get out of my way.”
Luke said in a displeased tone, “Alice, how could you speak to Noah like that? We’ve given in. What else do you want?”
