Chapter 13 Menu When Alice heard the words family , she couldnt help but feel it was absurd . She thought the same way in her past life . But just before she was about to claim the championship , she got replaced by Chloe . What kind of family was that ? Alice decisively replied , Im not planning to join the team ; I want to focus on my studies and prepare for exams . Luke shot back sarcastically , Oh , but you were begging me to teach you how to play games , chasing me at night for training , and saying you wanted to be a full member . Why didnt you mention studying then ? A familiar ache tugged at Alices heart . The reason she chased after her sixth brother to play games was to build a better relationship and have more common topics to discuss ! But now , that seemed unnecessary . Alice replied , Its just that playing games has been affecting my studies ; my scores dropped a lot in the last monthly exam , so I dont want to continue gaming . Luke was speechless .

I cant waste time . Alice didnt care . Ill take a taxi . Chloe got into the car , a hint of excitement in her eyes . Alice , Ill talk to Luke later . Alice turned and walked away . Chloe watched her go , biting her lip . Alice , just wait . One day Ill take everything from you ! This is what you owe me ! Alice stood by the roadside , feeling a bit disinterested in returning to the Welch family . Maybe she should look for a study room nearby .

It was the sharp tongued school doctor . He usually wore a mask and a white coat , but now he was dressed differently , almost unrecognizable . Jack stood in front of her . Im talking to you .
