Chapter 170 Cold sweat beaded on Chloes forehead ; her hands trembled so much she could barely hold her phone .
She scrambled away from Alices seat .
But Luke blocked her path .
Answer my question .
What were you doing ? Chloe trembled , unable to meet Lukes gaze .
She stammered , I … I was trying to help with Sixth Brothers project .
Maple Leaf is his competitor , and I wanted ΤΟ help .
You can help , but what you did was illegal ! And you hurt Alice ! Luke couldnt believe Chloe had done this ! He thought of Lukes words from earlier .
[ Was that coffee shop surveillance footage real ? ] Sixth Brother , it wasnt … Luke refused to listen to her expression , grabbing her arm .
Go apologize to Alice ! He might have conflicts with Alice , and even tried to dissuade her from joining the Ballers , but he would never do something like this ! Chloe was terrified , her voice pleading , Sixth Brother , I was working for Dad .
Please dont tell anyone .
If Alice found out , shed be finished .
Alice Luke was wouldnt tolerate betrayal ! incredulous .
Youre saying Dad told you to steal Alices data ? Yes ! Why else would I risk this ? It doesnt benefit me .
In her panic , Chloe used her father as a shield ! Luke was stunned .
He hadnt expected his father to order Chloe to do this .
Knowing his father , he was capable of such a thing , especially given his resentment towards Alice .
Hed even talked about destroying Maple Leaf ! Seeing Luke waver , Chloe pressed on .
Second Brother invested half his fortune in this project , hoping to establish himself in Cloud City .
If it fails , itll be a huge blow ! But you shouldnt resort to such underhanded tactics ! Why not compete fairly ? Does Dad really want to destroy Alice ? Luke still felt something was wrong , but he couldnt pinpoint it .
Sixth Brother , Dad doesnt want to destroy her .
He thinks Alice isnt cut out for business , especially now that shes offended the Garcias ; her future is uncertain .
If she fails this time , shell focus on her studies and wont cause trouble again .
Luke fell silent .
Chloe continued , Look at Alice now , so famous , and she disregards the Windham family .
She even Wants to join your rival team , the Blitzkrieg , clearly disregarding you .
Dad wants Alice to learn a lesson , to realize how good the Windhams are to her .
Maybe she wont join the Blitzkrieg and will stay with your team instead .
After all , were family ! Luke considered the last part .
Would Alice really stay with his team ? What are you two whispering about ? 12:36 Alice suddenly appeared .
Chloe jumped , explaining quickly .
Nothing .
Sixth Brother and I were discussing the team .
Youre Cloud Universitys captain now .
Do you still need TO join the Blitzkrieg ? Its not impossible .
The Blitzkrieg are strong , have great benefits , and a bright future ! Alice returned to her seat , glancing at her laptop , a cold smirk on her lips .
She looked up .
You two touched my laptop , didnt you ? No , Sixth Brother and I were chatting .
Maybe someone else touched it .
Right , Sixth Brother ? Chloe looked at Luke , her heart pounding .

Luke vaguely nodded .
Dont say anything ! Please ! He looked earnestly at Alice .
Dad wants this project , no matter the cost .
Youre just an employee ; leave while you can .
Who says Im just an employee ? If this project wins , Ill get stock options and shares in Maple Leaf .
At Alices words , Chloes expression changed .
Maple Leaf was so generous ? No wonder Alice needed Dads data ! A pang of bitterness arose in Chloes heart .
She thought about the photos shed taken and wast determined to prevent Alice from succeeding .
Lukes expression was complex .
Chloe was right .
Alice was becoming more successful and disregarded the Windhams .
If Alice stumbled and faced difficulties , she might realize the Windham familys value .
Then he could help her .
She would return to the Windhams and his team .
Luke deeply regretted things and wished for a chance to reset everything .
This might be it .
Seeing Luke not reveal her , Chloe said , Sixth Brother , lets go .
Dad should be here soon .
Luke said nothing , leaving with Chloe .
Alice sat at her laptop , glanced at the presentation , and closed it .
Soon , the Maple Leaf team arrived .
Their representative spoke to Alice .
Mr .
Yates said he had something to do and wouldnt be here .
Well handle everything .
Okay , Alice found it odd that Garrett wasnt there , especially since hed invited her .
She dismissed it , assuming a work emergency .
More people arrived .
Lukes father entered with a large entourage , exuding confidence .
Alice looked at Chloe , whose eyes flickered nervously .
Lukes father approached Alice .
I heard the Garcias withdrew their sponsorship .
As captain , youll have to cover the teams the teams expenses .
expenses .
How much money My finances are none of your business .
do you have ? Lukes father placed his hands on Alices desk , his tone coldTll give you a chance .
If you Chapter 170 apologize , Ill Alice raised the Garcias behalf .
How about on that ? the team sponsor eyebrow .
Keep your measly money .
Dont embarrass yourself.
Her expression was cold and defiant .
Lukes father stared at her intensely .
Good .
You want to play hardball ? Ill teach you a lesson , make you admit defeat .
Well see who wins .
Alices gaze was sharp and arrogant .
Lukes father returned to his seat , glaring at Alice .
Alice remained calm and unfazed .
The Maple Leaf team was shocked .
Theyd investigated their competitors ; the Windhams were a powerful family in Cloud City , more powerful than Maple Leaf .
Alice stood her ground against such a formidable opponent .
Their representative whispered to Alice .
[ Alice , were you a little too arrogant ? Theyre a powerful company .
[ Do you know Mr.
Windham ? Do you have a history with him ? ] Alice nodded .
Yes , a history ! Lukes father wanted her to surrender ? No way ! The official representatives arrived , asking the companies to present their Al projects .
The Windham Corporation went first .
Lukes father presented professionally , captivating the audience .
M The Maple Leaf teams faces changed upon seeing the presentation .
Alice , their presentation is almost identical to ours ! Alice stood up , her voice ringing out .
Because they stole our ideas !
