Chapter 131
Hearing what Max said, the other rich kids turned to look at Alice.
“So, this is the chick who dissed our business school. Brave girl.”
“A bumpkin. Look at her. So poor and stinky.”
Meres
Max walked to Alice.“If you kneel and apologize right now in front of everyone, we might consider letting you off.” Chloe smirked, delight dancing in her eyes.
Alice had just offended the entire business school. She would be miserable.
Alice said, “I didn’t diss your school. I just think a business school that accepts students who scored zero on the SAT is lowering its standards.”
Chloe gritted her teeth in anger. What did this bitch say?
Chloe hurriedly said, “Alice, you can look down on me, but don’t disrespect the business school!”
Max, her voice dripping with arrogance, announced, “Everyone saw what happened! Freshman Alice just declared war on the entire business school! Anyone caught siding with her is declaring war on us!”
Max thought, “This bumpkin had gone too far, so I wouldn’t let it go.
“I must teach Alice a lesson, or the business school would become a laughingstock.”
The other students instantly kept their distance from Alice.
Her roommate, Lisa, pulled her other roommate, Lana, away.“Are you crazy? We can’t mess with these rich kids!” Lana hesitated, and then fell silent.
No one could believe a freshman would dare to go against the business school’s rich kids.
Now, Alice was the public enemy.
Alice stood alone at the stairwell, a slender figure looking incredibly vulnerable.
Chloe’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.“Alice, you don’t want to be ostracized on your first day, do you? Apologize now, and I might put in a good word for you with Max, for old times‘ sake!”
Alice’s eyes were cold.“I don’t care.”
She turned around and walked away, completely ignoring them.
Alice’s unexpected act stunned everyone. No one expected her to be so gutsy.
She didn’t even fear the wealthy students from the business school!
Max gritted her teeth in anger. She looked at Lisa and Lana.“Alice is your roommate, right? Keep your distance with her, or I won’t let you off.”
Lisa nodded in fear.
Lana couldn’t help but explain, “Alice’s parents died when she was young. She’s an orphan. That’s why she’s like this.”
“So what? I gave her a chance! She blew it. Whose fault is that?”
Max had never been treated with such disrespect.
Chloe looked at Lana in surprise.“Alice said she was an orphan?”
It seemed that Alice had truly cut ties with the Welch family. She didn’t even mention her connections.

This was good for Chloe.

Chloe feigned a sigh.“Alice was always like this in high school. Always isolated. But she got away with it because she was smart and the teachers protected her.”
Max sneered.“This isn’t high school, sweetheart. This is Harvard University!”
Chloe lowered her eyes. She was overjoyed in her heart.
Alice was finished this time.
Alice left the building and walked alone across the quad. Her first day of college was a disaster.
She wanted a normal college experience. Clearly, that was a pipe dream.
Escaping the Welch family hadn’t brought her the peace she hoped for.
Chloe, the bitch, wouldn’t leave her alone.
Whenever Chloe showed up, Alice’s life would be influenced.
Alice’s mood turned bad.
Alice’s phone buzzed. It was a text from Noah.“Alice, I’m outside Harvard University. I got you some stuff. Are you free? Come out and take it.”
Alice was too irritated to see anyone from the Welch family.
She replied.“Don’t bother. Give it to Chloe.”
Noah stood by his car. He was happy when Alice replied. But when he read the message, a wry smile appeared on his face.
It seemed Alice wasn’t ready to forgive him.
Chloe was going back to her hometown to retake the SAT so that plan was out.
Noah lingered outside Harvard University for a while with complex emotions.
He knew Alice was inside, but he couldn’t approach her, afraid of alienating her further.
He hadn’t realized how incredibly well Alice had done to enter Harvard University.
Alice was so outstanding, but he ignored her. On the contrary, he cared about Chloe more.
As Noah was about to leave, he saw a group of students in uniforms. One face stood out.
Noah’s face paled.“Chloe? What are you doing here?”
Chloe looked awkward. She ran to Noah.“Noah? What are you doing here?”
“I should be asking you that! Why didn’t you retake the test? Why are you wearing a business school uniform?”
Chloe stammered, “Ethan arranged it for me. He said I didn’t need to retake the test. Anyway, I wouldn’t get a good result. It’s better for me to make connections in the business school.”
Noah was a little angry.“The business school is where all the heirs and heiresses hang out! What are you doing there? What good is that to you?”
Chloe’s eyes welled up, but she made up her mind. She wouldn’t return to her small town.
She wanted to stay in this city and use Ethan’s connections to marry a rich man.
She wasn’t going back to a life of poverty.
Noah frowned.“Come with me. I need to talk to Ethan about it.”

“Noah, I know I’m humble. But I have my own dreams. I don’t want to retake the test. My friends are waiting. I have to go.”
Chloe ran away.
She had to cultivate those connections with the rich students in the business school.
She wouldn’t let the opportunity go.
Noah watched her go, furious. He called Ethan, “Ethan, why is Chloe at the business school? She was supposed to
retake the SAT,”
“I arranged it. It’ll benefit Chloe.”
“But didn’t you say that the place of the business school was for Alice?”
Ethan had mentioned it when Alice’s study was not good.
But she’d gotten into Harvard University on her own.
“The place was for Alice.”
Ethan said coldly, “But look at her. She cut ties with the family and crashed the company’s system. Does she deserve the perks the family provides?”
Noah had a complicated feeling.
He felt sad.“Ethan, aren’t you afraid of breaking Alice’s heart?”
Seeing Alice’s message, he knew she’d found out about Chloe being at the business school.
“It seems Alice already knows.”
Ethan hung up and immediately called Alice. His voice sounded proud.“Alice, do you regret it now? The place of the business school was yours.”
