Chapter 264
Alice hadn’t considered that possibility.
In her past life, Chloe had relentlessly pursued Garrett, aiming for a wealthy marriage.
The Welch family was probably beneath her aspirations.
Alice shook her head.“I’m not sure.”
Ethan had always favored Chloe. He was the one who suggested Chloe be raised by the Welches in Alice’s past life.
Alice didn’t know the reason.
After a moment, Mary said, “Go back to the dorm. Don’t wait for me.”
Lana replied, “We have plenty of time. I told the dorm manager we’d be back late. It’s fine.”
Alice added, “We came together, so we go back together.”
Mary avoided Alice’s gaze. Her hands clenched under the blanket. She said nothing.
The three returned to the dorm together.
Lana and Alice slowed their pace to accommodate Mary.
After showering, Alice went to bed. She had enough exercise.
Alice had no classes the next day, so she slept until noon.
She spotted a lot of delicious food on the desk. She didn’t expect Mary to eat so well in the dorm.
Mary mustered her courage and said to Alice, “Join me for lunch.”
“Okay.”
Alice realized Mary was inviting them to lunch to thank them.
Alice didn’t decline.
Alice washed up and began eating. She discovered the food was ordered from Pear Orchard.
Alice had enjoyed the specialties made by Pear Orchard. She recognized the dishes and
presentation.
Mary’s family must be wealthy.
Alice went to the esports club for training. Her drama was still being filmed. The school drama series hadn’t finished.
Alice overheard the director yelling at Chloe.
Klaus rushed over when seeing Alice.“Ms. Welch, you’re here! Come over here. The sun is scorching outside.”
Alice was the majority shareholder. He couldn’t afford to offend her.

Ale pursed her Aps and sat under the parasol. It was Caleby’s usual spot.
Che’s five darkened when she saw Alice
Alice booked at Klaus with a half–smile Is Chloe not performing well?”
Ms. Black is a newcomer in the industry. Her acting needs improvement.”
Alice said to Choo Lourn from the director. Don’t waste the company’s resources.”
Che’s eres filled with anger
Since Alice became the majority shareholder, everyone was changing their tune.
Ale went to the training area, leaving Chloe behind.
Someone whispered to Klaus Wasn’t Ms. Black supposed to take over the company? Why is Ms. Welch in charge now
“You don’t understand. Alice’s the real Welch heiress. Siblings don’t hold grudges forever. After some time, they have reconciled. Outsiders are always outsiders.”
Klaus’s words were meant for Chloe.
If Chloe hadn’t provoked Caleb with the video, the livestreaming thing wouldn’t have happened, and Caleb wouldn’t have been disfigured.
Alice’s takeover showed that family was family.
Chloe felt the cruelty of human nature and seethed with hatred.
Once Alice returned to the Welch’s place, Chloe would be finished.
Chloe wouldn’t tolerate it any longer.
Alice messaged the staff of the TG Company, “Keep a close eye on Chloe.”
Having been pampered by the Welch family, Chloe would contact her father once her illusions crumbled.
Over the next two days, Chloe was constantly scolded on set.
Klaus was cold towards Chloe. Alice thought it was likely at Caleb’s behest.
On Friday, Alice was added back to the family group chat.
Alice left the group chat after her rebirth.
Noah mentioned her in the chat, “Tomorrow’s the weekend. Free for dinner tonight?”
Alice would play along, adding fuel to the fire.
Alice agreed.
Chloe saw the message and smashed her cup in her hand.
Alice hadn’t been in the group chat for a while,
Chloe thought it was her happiest time. Now Alice was back to disrupt Chloe’s life.

Chloe used an old spare phone to make a call. She said in a trembling voice, “How much longer must I endure? Can’t we do what we did with the car accident and get rid of Alice?”
“Coco, patience is key. You said the Welches were investigating the accident. I can’t act now, or I’ll be discovered.”
‘Must I endure this forever?”
“For now, yes. Take what you can from the charity foundation. Once you convince Ethan to work with my recommended person on the Al project, we can drain most of the Welch Group’s funds. Then you can leave the Welches forever.”
Chloe reluctantly agreed.
She would endure it.
She would repay her humiliation tenfold once the Welch family was bankrupt.
After training, Alice received a call from Jack.
His voice sounded calm.“Any plans for the weekend?”
Not yet. I’m returning to the Welch’s place tonight. I need to play my part.”
Her voice sounded excited. Jack sensed her anticipation. “You seem eager!”
“Of course. It’s a grand show.”
“But I’m worried about you going alone. I’ll go with you.”
What if the Welches harmed Alice?
Alice choked on her water. You’re coming with me?*
‘Don’t you like that?”
She laughed. “No, but there’s no need to meet them. Visit Mom and Dad’s graves with me next time.”
In Alice’s eyes, only her parents were her family.
Jack kept silent for a long time.“Okay.”
He was uncertain.
Would Alice still be with him when he confessed?
‘Let’s have dinner tomorrow.”
“Okay. Give me the address. Keep me updated.”
She told Jack her address.
Alice left campus and prepared to take a taxi. But she saw Caleb’s car. Klaus stood outside the
car.“Ms. Alice, our future movie star is here to pick you up for dinner.”

Chloe walked out of the campus and recognized Caleb’s car.
Chloe walked over with gritted teeth.“Caleb, are you here to pick us up?”
Caleb rolled down the window. His mask hid his expression, but his voice was cold.“I’m here to
take sister home. Who are you?”
