Chapter 103 Alices voice was icy .
To be precise , it hasnt been that way for a very long time .
You want cut ties with me ? Luke asked , his voice laced with disbelief .
Youve said that many times .
Have you forgotten ? she countered .
Luke looked slightly guilty .
I guilty .
I was just venting .
I never meant it seriously .
But I did .
Actions speak louder than words , Alice said , her gaze unwavering as she looked at her two brothers .
I never say things I dont mean .
Goodbye .
Or rather , its best if we dont see each other again .
Her expression was serious , her features sharp , her eyes dark and intense .
As she turned , she saw Jack and Gator .
Jacks eyes held a hint of approval .
Gator clapped .
Well said ! Seeing them eased her tension .
Shed avoided this confrontation , fearing it would make her seem too invested in the family , but her brothers interference with Jack , forcing him to the hospital , had been the final straw .
Alice , dont think that just because you got good grades you can abandon us ! Without the Winds , youre nothing ! Lukes voice cracked with anger , his eyes burning .
He couldnt believe how much this meant to her ; why hadnt she said anything before ? Hed thought she didnt care .
Alice turned , her gaze cold .
Isnt it true that without me , you wouldnt have even made it to the esports finals ? Isnt it true that without me , that gaming software partnership would have been canceled ? A flush of embarrassment crept across Lukes face .
He couldnt deny the truth .
Gator added fuel to the fire .
Without you guys , Little Lemons grades skyrocketed , she became a top streamer , and tons of esports teams are throwing themselves at her .
Leaving you guys is the best thing that ever happened to her .
Jacks voice was cold .
Ask yourselves , what have you done for her all these years ? Luke instinctively retorted , What do you mean , nothing ? But he couldnt come up with anything beyond Alice revolving around him .
Hed taken her contributions for granted , forgetting that giving requires reciprocity .
Alices tone was flat .
Dont use that blood is thicker than water nonsense .
Its pathetic .
And with that , she walked away .
Luke Wind clutched his stomach , his vision blurring as he collapsed .
A wave of profound sadness washed over him .
Luke and Chloe shouted , Brother , whats wrong ? Hearing the commotion , Alice stepped into the elevator .
Seeing her brother lying on the floor , his eyes fixed on her , she remained expressionless until the doors closed , cutting off all contact .
Alice !! Luke Wind mumbled her name , eyes squeezed shut .
Only now did he realize what he was truly losing .
In the past , when he was sick , Alice wouldnt have abandoned him .

She cared deeply for him .
Even last time , shed taken him to the hospital .
But this time was different .
He was losing his sister .
Outside the hospital , Alice breathed deeply , exhaling the weight of the par Gator drove , saying , Little Lemon , you shouldve done this a long time ago .
They were walking all over you Youre right , she agreed .
She should have been clearer sooner , instead of letting them think the was just throwing a tantrum .
It hadnt been a joke .
Shed been carefully planning her departure from the family all along .
Theyd clung to the delusion that she was juse angry .
Jack , in the passenger seat , glanced in the rearview mirror .
Its not Relaxed , Alice said , Something weird happened .
Garrett just dropped the whole thing to apology needed .
Gators voice was slightly strained .
Yeah , well , he started it , right ? Maybe he finally realized he was wrong Really ? Alice still felt something was off .
Garrett wasnt usually so forgiving , based on her past lifes experience .
But maybe Chloe played a part ; the white lotus was probably pulling strings to impress the Wind brothers .
Back at the apartment , Alices phone wouldnt stop ringing .
Seeing Brother Six on the display , she blocked the number .
Finally , peace and quiet .
She knew what he wanted to say , but she wasnt interested .
She spent the afternoon grinding in game dungeons with her friends .
That evening , Alice went live for her PvP stream .
A win tonight would put her at the top of the rankings .
But just as she went live , her classmate , Jiang Lu , messaged her : Idol , Chloes trash talking you on her stream .
Whats she saying ? That you made your brothers sick and are ignoring them ; that youre ungrateful Typical white lotus move .
Alice ignored it , focusing on her stream .
There were some haters in the chat , but her fans quickly shut them down .
She played intensely , finally reaching # 1 , a sense of accomplishment washing .
over her .
During a break , a hater spammed the chat : [ Streamer ] , why arent you responding ? Are you guilty ? Alice sneered .
Why would I respond to such baseless accusations ? A white lotus cries a couple of times , and suddenly everyones a judge and jury .
If youre so good at this , I suggest you become .
detectives .
Cry a little for the criminals , maybe ? [ Streamer ] , dont change the subject .
Answer the question .
Alices eyes were sharp and direct .
Everyone knows my relationship with the Winds has always been rocky .
Ive never hidden that .
I want to state clearly : I have nothing to do with the Winds anymore .
Ill rely on myself .
Jiang Lu also jumped into the comments : [ Alice ] has always been treated unfairly .
We , her classmates , know this .
[ Alice ] finally escaped her toxic family , and now that shes the top student , theyre guilt tripping .
her .
Soon , the comments were flooded with discussions of her top Daniels .
Her interview video was everywhere online .
She trended again .
29.31 Seeing the public opinion swaying against her , Chloe angrily ended her livestream .
Her viewership had been dwindling lately .
But Alices fan base was exploding Chloe was furious .
Couldnt Alice just disappear ? Then , a message popped up on Chloes phone : Axiang ( Chloe ) , that girl Alice is in your way .
Dad can help you get rid of her .
Chloe screamed .
What was going on ? Shed blocked that number .
Was this really her father ? Impossible .
Chloe , whats wrong ? Luke entered her room .
Chloe frantically shut off her phone , her hands shaking .
Nothing .
I saw a disturbing video and got scared .
Shed finally secured her place in the Wind family and didnt want to return to her impoverished past .
Who would send you something like that ? Give me your phone ! Chloes face paled .
That inexplicable text message absolutely could not be seen by Luke ! What to do ?
