Chapter 132
Alice was amused by Ethan’s phone call.
Last lifetime, Ethan always threatened her like that.
He even used financial sanctions.
Now that she had nothing to do with the Welch family, did Ethan really think she cared about a place of the business school?
“Alice, if you apologize, I’ll get you into the business school. You can get the same elite education as Chloe.*
Her voice was cold. “Ethan Welch, have you forgotten that I got into Harvard University on my own? Meanwhile, someone scored zero on the SAT.”
“Alice! You dare address me by my full name! You have no respect!”
Ethan was furious.“Fine. Looks like you haven’t learned your lesson. I’ll give Chloe everything that I was going to give you. You’ll regret this.”
“I won’t regret a thing.”
Alice hung up.
Those so–called resources had gone to Chloe in Alice’s previous life anyway.
Alice didn’t need them.
Back in the dorm, she checked the class group chat. Everyone was gossiping about her clash with the business school
students.
Lisa and Lana were just entering.
The air thickened with awkwardness.
Lisa’s voice was laced with resentment.“This is just great. We are her roommates. Couldn’t she just apologize? Is that so hard?”
Alice abruptly pulled out her chair, the screech echoing in the tense silence.
Alice stood up, and it was weird in the room.
Lisa was shocked.“I’m not wrong! Look at yourself! How can you mess with those rich kids?”
Chloe tried to mediate.“We’re all classmates and roommates. Let’s not make things worse.”
“Max said if we get too close to Alice, she won’t let us off.”
Lisa grabbed her toiletries and went to the balcony.
Alice sat down and organized her textbooks. She studied computer science in her previous life, too.
These introductory courses were easy for her.
The next day, Alice went to the classroom with her books alone.
On the way, Alice felt eyes on her and heard whispers.
She ignored them. She had faced worse isolation because of Chloe before.
But as she approached the classroom, she felt something.
She glanced up at the slightly ajar door. She kicked it open.
A bucket of water cascaded down.

Alice, agile and quick, dodged it. But the students inside weren’t so lucky. The water in the bucket soaked their clothes.
They were screaming in the classroom.
“D*mn, it’s all over my dress!”
“My dress! It’s a limited edition! I just bought it.”
Alice strolled into the classroom, a sardonic smile playing on her lips as she saw Max and Chloe looking messy.
How childish.
This was Chloe’s doing, no doubt.
Max bristled.“You bumpkin, you dirtied our clothes! You must pay for this!”
“If
you
have no money, you can work it off!”
Alice’s eyes turned dark.“I have no money. Sue me.”
She wasn’t scared of these petty games.
She used to be wealthy too, so she was familiar with these tricks.
She wouldn’t be afraid of these people.
Max stamped her foot in anger.“Fine, you just wait!”
Max was waiting for a good show, but her plan failed. Even more, she was soaked to the bone. This was infuriating.
Chloe, ignoring the mess, dragged Max away.“Max, I never thought Alice would notice it.”
Max slapped Chloe.“It’s your stupid idea! Look at us! It’s your fault.”
“You’re just as dumb as that bumpkin!”
Chloe covered her face, her eyes welling.
Max stormed off, leaving Chloe alone. The others ignored Chloe and left with Max.
Chloe stood there alone, frustrated.
She would get revenge a thousand fold once she established herself.
“Being someone’s lapdog doesn’t seem to be working out so well, does it?”
Alice stood by the door with her arms crossed.
She had a mocking glint in her eyes. She watched Chloe being slapped and humiliated, but Chloe didn’t have the guts to do anything.
Chloe, being witnessed by Alice, put down her hands in anger.“You got lucky this time!”
“I’ll always get lucky. You, on the other hand, who knows?”
“Ethan will pave my way. I’ll have a better life than you and marry a better man. You’ll be with that poor doctor forever. You’ll always be inferior.”
Chloe was in a bad mood. She needed to put Alice down to feel better about herself.
Seeing Chloe in a mess, Alice felt a surge of satisfaction.
Chloe’s attempts to ingratiate herself with the rich kids clearly weren’t going smoothly.
Alice returned to the classroom. It was cleaned quickly as if nothing had happened.
When Alice returned, she found her usual seat taken. There were empty seats, but they were all taken.

“I’m sorry. It’s taken.”
She felt she was isolated.
She chose a seat in the front row, far from anyone.
The class was over soon.
Alice left the classroom alone and saw various teams recruiting on her way back.
She found that Harvard University esports team was recruiting, and so was the national team.
She wanted to join the national team through Harvard University esports club.
After all, Alice didn’t want to sign with a commercial team yet, which would limit her freedom.
The university team was different.
Alice took over the files.“I want to learn about it.”
Alice walked over and filled out an application.
Chloe had ruined Alice’s day, but Alice wouldn’t give up her dream.
After lunch, Alice discovered her belongings had been rummaged through.
She checked, and nothing was missing.
Lisa walked over from the balcony, her eyes shifty.
Alice’s voice was cold.“You went through my things?”
“Alice, you’re delusional! You’re so poor. What’s there to steal? One of my bags costs more than your yearly living expenses!”
Lisa denied it, but her guilt was obvious.
Alice sat down, placing the files of the esports team on the table.
Lana whispered, “Alice, be careful. The business school kids are plotting against you.”
“I know. Thanks.”
Alice checked the gaming forum, responding to questions about gameplay strategy.
She saw many people asking her if she would join the Blitzkrieg Team.
What was going on?
Daniel, the manager of Blitzkrieg Team, had followed her account. There was a misunderstanding.
Mer
Then came a text from Luke, his tone accusatory.“Alice, are you going to join the Blitzkrieg Team? Did you even think about how I feel?”
