Chapter 165
Alice remained impassive as she seized the woman’s wrist.
Her voice was icy.“What does this have to do with me?”

“What do you mean? You are having an affair with David, letting that creep into the dorm. You messed around, and you got my daughter involved!”
“That’s right! My daughter is always obedient. She wouldn’t do such a thing. It’s said online that you and David had sex in the dorm!”
Alice flung Lisa’s mother’s hand away.“But everyone in the gaming club knows Lisa is chasing David. They were even seen checking into hotels together. Your ‘good‘ daughter lied to you.”
Alice hadn’t expected Lisa to lie to her parents!
“It’s still your fault! You knew my daughter was being hurt by that creep and that he had taken videos to threaten her. When she begged for help, why didn’t you help her?”
Alice initially thought Lisa just lied.
Now, she realized Lisa’s personality was shaped by her parents.
Alice raised her voice.“Lisa was tricked into sleeping with a creep. He even took naked photos and videos. Lisa begged me for help, but I didn’t help. Then what? Why don’t you finish the story?”
The woman’s eyes flickered.
“Since you won’t, I will. Then Lisa contacted David, planning for him to sneak into the dorm. Lisa also gave me tampered water. That’s the real reason Lisa got caught!”
Surrounding students started whispering.
“So that’s how it was. Lisa was stupid. David’s reputation is terrible. She practically threw herself at him.”
“No wonder Lisa ran out of the dorm that night and hugged David. She even admitted everything.”
Lisa’s mother was furious.“Alice, if you had helped my daughter at the beginning, none of this would have happened!”
“First, Lisa was deceived by a creep. That’s not my problem. Second, she could have reported it to the police. I have no obligation to help her.”
The woman burst into tears.“But you’re roommates! How could you be so heartless?”
Alice’s tone was laced with sarcasm.“I wasn’t going to press charges, but since you put it this way, I will.”
The couple, realizing they were on shaky ground, quickly retreated.
Lana walked over.“Lisa’s parents have gone too far! How can they blame you?”
“If you refuse to help some people who are in trouble, they will think it is your fault because you don’t help solve it.”
As Alice spoke, someone chimed in, “Help becomes a debt, and refusal becomes a grudge.”
Alice returned to the classroom.
At the back of the crowd, Max witnessed everything.
She looked at Chloe.“Is this your plan? Alice is perfectly fine!”
“Ms. Garcia, I didn’t expect Lisa’s parents to be so spineless. They couldn’t do anything to Alice.”
Chloe’s tone was fawning.

To her surprise, Max could be released on bail so quickly.
“Humph, Alice thinks making money as a streamer makes her glamorous. She is trash!”
Max hated Alice.
Seeing Max’s anger, Chloe said, “Ms. Garcia, I heard Alice is going to run for team captain after reporting David.”
“That bitch is dreaming! Our family is the biggest investor in the team. Alice won’t become the captain!”
“But the team captain election is based on skill. Alice is a great gamer. Ms. Garcia, wouldn’t it be better to let her become captain? It would be easier to deal with her then.”
“That’s true. The team captain is just our family’s puppet anyway!”
Max went upstairs.

Chloe glanced back at Alice’s classroom with a triumphant gleam in her eyes. She had to use Max to get rid of Alice.
Otherwise, Alice could use that evidence to blackmail her for life!
Chloe finally managed to appease Garrett and was determined to marry into the Yates family. She couldn’t have any skeletons in her closet.
Chloe checked her phone and received another message from the man again, like a persistent leech.
claiming to be her father. He demanded money
Chloe wanted to investigate if he was truly her father but was afraid of being discovered by the Welch family. as afraid of being discovered by the Welch family.
So, Chloe could only ignore him for now.
Chloe was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After class, Alice received a message from her senior, “The school has revoked David’s position as captain. There will be a new election tomorrow night. We hope you’ll run!”
“Okay.”
Alice then messaged Daniel, the captain of the Blitzkrieg Team, “Sorry, after consideration, I decided to join the school
team!”
Daniel immediately called.“Why?”
“Because the legendary gamer the King used to be on the Harvard Team. He’s my idol. I want to follow in his footsteps.”
This was Alice’s dream in her past life, but she hadn’t achieved it.
This time, she had gotten into Harvard University to fulfill that dream.
Daniel sighed, “Fine. Are you free to watch the finals this weekend? There’s an after–party and a gathering. If you’re running for the captain of the Harvard Team, meeting more people will help.”
“Thank you. I’ll definitely go.”
Alice was polite. Although she refused Daniel’s invitation, a friendship was still possible.
They would compete next year anyway!
After class, Alice went to the restroom.
Upon exiting, she saw several girls from the Business School.
Max entered, her face filled with hatred.“Alice, I finally have a chance to catch you. After the police took me in, did

you hack my phone and post those videos and photos using my account?”
If not for that, Max wouldn’t be in trouble.
She wouldn’t have been released on bail, or face lawsuits, or possibly jail time!
Max thought it was all Alice’s fault!
Alice stood calmly.“Do you have proof?”
“Who else could have done it?”

Max was furious.“Grab her! Take off her clothes and throw her out! A country bumpkin dares attend the same school
as me!”
Alice looked at the girls closing in. She rolled up her sleeves and slapped one across the face.
Then another and another.
Alice’s boxing training increased her strength.
She effortlessly knocked the girls off balance.
Only Max remained standing. Alice walked toward Max, an icy aura surrounding her.
“What are you going to do? I’m from the Garcia family! My sister is engaged to a prominent figure in the elite circle!”
“So?”
Alice’s eyes were sharp as she rubbed her wrists and smirked.
