Chapter 35 Menu Alice raised an eyebrow , her gaze sharp and defiant . I remember it clearly , she said . She would never forget . Alice shut the door , not wanting to say anything more . Noah stood outside , looking at the necklace , regretting what he had just said . But Alices words had indeed been intentional . She was smart enough to understand his meaning ; was she still angry ? Noah stared at the closed door : Alice , what am I supposed to do with you ? Alices mood soured . She shouldnt have held onto any false hopes , thinking her brothers would have a change of heart and regret their actions ! She had underestimated Chloes position in her second brothers heart . After all , Noah was moved to tears just seeing Chloe make a bowl of plain porridge . All her years of effort in making medicinal dishes felt worthless in comparison . She would reclaim her contributions . She wouldnt join Lukes team , she wouldnt make medicinal porridge for Noah , and she wouldnt fix Ethans firewall security issues . She would withdraw her support from Alex , Caleb , and Finn as well . When Alice opened the gaming forum , she found her post from a few days ago titled Beginners Guide on How to Achieve a Twelve Hit Combo had gone viral . Many people had saved it , but there were also plenty of comments mocking her for being arrogant . Alice didnt bother to argue ; she had summarized her experiences based on what that previous . person had said . She received a private message . When she saw the senders profile , it turned out to be Lukes account . Hey , remember when you stole my boss last time ? Of course , Alice remembered ; it was intentional . She didnt reply . He sent another message : How about considering joining a professional team ? The benefits are good . Im impressed with your skills , and joining the team would provide professional training ! As she read this message , Alice found it ironic . Luke had finally come to terms with reality , realizing Chloe was unreliable , and was now looking for new recruits since he knew she wouldnt join the competition ? Alice flatly rejected : I refuse . After replying , she logged off . Luke stared at those words , his mind flashing back to Alices face . Every time she rejected him , it was always those same words . Luke closed his computer in frustration , feeling stifled because of Alice . He was even kicked out to live elsewhere because of her , and it felt so unfair ! He regretted hitting her on the day of the revival match . But he couldnt swallow his pride ; he was used to Alice always being the one to appease him . Time flew by , and it was the last mock exam . Alice felt confident during the exam , thinking it went pretty well . She submitted her paper early and stepped outside to get some fresh air . 1427 When Alice returned to the classroom , she saw Chloe crying at her desk , and her minions were nowhere to be found . Chloe , dont cry . We believe you didnt cheat . The teacher will investigate . You dont need to cheat ; your grades are always good . Hearing these conversations , Alice guessed what happened . Shed always suspected Chloe of faking her grades , especially since Minion # Is grades were surprisingly good . This hadnt happened in her past life . Chloe had probably fell behind in her studies due to gaming and had to take risks to maintain at good ranking . In her past life , Chloe had failed spectacularly on the college entrance exam . Alice , however , had done very well . Chloe made excuses , claiming Alice had affected her mood , causing her to perform poorly . Alice was then pressured by her brothers to attend the same university as Chloe , which was seen as compensation for affecting Chloes grades . What kind of logic was that ? But in her past life , she hadnt dared to oppose her brothers demands and had to agree . Minion # 1 burst in , confronting Chloe . You were the one who wanted to cheat ; why am I the one getting punished ? Chloe , tears streaming down her face , replied , I didnt cheat ! Why are you slandering me ? You wrote that note yourself ! It was you ! Why dont you admit it ? Were friends ! Why would you betray me ? Minion # 1 was frantic ; the punishment would affect her college entrance exam . Chloe , however , wore an innocent expression , and the people around began to blame Minion # 1 for slandering her . Inside , Chloe was completely calm ; she knew she wouldnt get in trouble . The teacher and classmates would only believe her words . Minion # 1 looked at Alice desperately . I finally understand how you felt . Chloe is a viper , pretending to be a saint , but shes a wicked woman ! Alice smirked ; Minion # 1 finally understood . Minion # 1 rushed to Alice . You know the truth , right ? Chloes grades are bad ; Ive been helping her with her homework . We were in the same classroom during the exam ; you submitted early and must have seen it . You can testify for me to the teacher ! Alice had always been at odds with Chloe , so she must have a way Chloe frowned ; Alice probably didnt know . to handle this . Alice pushed Minion # 1s hand away , her tone cold . Everyone knows how Chloe behaves ; how can you unjustly accuse her ? Minion # 1s face paled . She hadnt expected this . Alice wasnt a saint ; shed been hurt by these minions in her past time . Now it was time to let Minion # 1 experience what shed endured . After Alice said that , Chloe immediately relaxed . Chloe looked at Minion # 1 with a pitiful expression : Just because were close , I cant let your make 41427 10.0 % Chapter 35 mistakes . If you sincerely apologize to the teacher and admit your mistake , I believe they will forgive you this time . Minion # 2 agreed . Yeah , you cant just slander people . Minion # 1 looked at Minion # 2 . Your turns coming . You better watch . Minion # 2 said uneasily , What nonsense are you talking ? Youre the one who wanted to cheat . and got caught ; you cant make Chloe lie for you . Minion # 1 shouted , Chloe , I have proof youve been cheating ! Lets see how you maintain you perfect student image ! Chloes expression changed instantly . Was this woman looking for trouble ? The teacher arrived . Lucy , what proof do you have ? I have evidence on my phone ; Ive been doing Chloe homework . During the exam , when I passed her the note , Alice happened to walk by the classroom ; she definitely saw it . The teacher looked at Alice.Did you really see it ? Alice thought for a moment ; she hadnt really paid attention , only remembering Chloe looking back . Was this her chance ? If she said yes , would Chloe be finished ? In "The Secret of Nami Sushi" by CrushReel, readers are drawn into a captivating tale of mystery and intrigue surrounding a renowned sushi restaurant.
