Chapter 3 When Alice appeared , everyone turned to look . Faced with their gazes , Alice remained expressionless . She wore a simple T shirt , but atop her head was an exquisite golden phoenix crown , a deep green necklace around her neck , jade bangles on her wrist , and a pink diamond ring on her finger . Laughter erupted around her . Alices so gaudy , wearing all that jewelry at once ! She looks like a newly rich person , one guest scoffed . I think Alice is deliberately showing off her expensive stuff to embarrass Chloe . Alice strutted up to Chloe , her tone calm . Congratulations , you finally become a member of the Welch family today . In her past life , once Chloe joined the Welch family , her nightmare began . No matter how hard she tried , how much she cowered and obeyed , her brothers all favored Chloe . Noah had even said he wished Chloe was their real sister . This time , she wouldnt cling to any nonsense about familial ties . Seeing all the valuable items on Alice , Chloe felt a surge of jealousy , but she didnt let it show on her face . She shrank her neck at first , then answered cautiously . Alice , I know youre upset , but dont worry , I wont compete with you for your brothers affection . After all , Im just an outsider . Youre their real sister . How could I ever compare to you ? As she spoke , her eyes began to redden . Alice smirked , a perfect picture of a delicate white lotus . In her previous life , she had been completely fooled by Chloes innocent act , only to see the womans true colors just before her demise . Caleb noticing the tension , quickly interjected , Dont cry , Chloe . Who says youre an outsider ?. From today , youre my little sister . Chloe lowered her gaze , hiding a fleeting look of triumph . Noah presented Chloe with a box . Chloe , this is a gift for you . cant accept it ! Chloe feigned surprise . Noah , isnt this isnt this a gift for Alice ? I cant When Alice saw the limited edition figurine inside the box , she wasnt surprised at all . After all , in her past life , Noah had also kindly taken it upon himself to give the figurine she had waited so long for to Chloe as an apology . Noah said , Take it . Its what she owes you . you pushing her Caleb dissatisfied , said , Alice , even though Chloe isnt holding a grudge about into the water , and the second brother has given her a gift , what about your sincerity ?

This hundred year old ginseng is from Alex . 0.0 % < Chapter 3 This rare pink diamond ring is from Caleb . This jade bracelet is from Finn . And this gold trophy is from Luke . Menu Alice placed them on the plate one by one . These are all very important to me , and as an apology gift , it should be sincere enough . She had anticipated Calebs demand for an apology , so she had prepared these items . Ever since Chloe came to the Welch family , Alices brothers had never given Alice anything decent , and these were the only valuable things left . In the end , they would all be taken back by her brothers for various reasons to give to Chloe . When Caleb saw the items on the plate , his expression froze . These were Alices most treasured possessions ! How dare she ? Noah pursed his lips . Alice , what do you mean by this ? Noah , I said these are my sincere apologies . Caleb , do you think its enough ? Alices expression was flat , her emotions unruffled .. When Chloe saw the items in the box , she was taken aback , unsure of what Alice was trying to pull was this a strategic retreat ? Chloe quickly piped up , Alice , these are gifts from the brothers to you ; theyre too precious for me to accept . Caleb angrily retorted , Exactly ! These are our gifts to you ; how can you just pass them on to someone else ? Chloes smile faltered slightly as she bit her lip Yes , Alice , Im just an outsider . How could deserve such gifts ? Caleb , realizing hed misspoken , quickly explained , Chloe , thats not what I meant . Ill choose a new gift for you . How could you accept something that someone else has received ? Chloe immediately brightened , . Thank Calebs heart softened . This was the obedient little sister he had always wanted . you , Caleb . * Noah sighed , Alice , what are you throwing a tantrum about now ? These gifts had always been precious to Alice ; no one was allowed to touch them . He never expected her to lay them all out as an apology to Chloe ! Was she trying to sever ties with them ?
