Chapter 171 Alices statement caused a stir .
Lukes father remained calm .
Alice , accusing us of plagiarism is ridiculous ! Our company has so many talented people ; why would we steal from at small company like yours ? Why not ? Alices representative spoke indignantly .
Thats indignantly .
Thats right .
We worked hard on this .
Lukes father chuckled .
Youre just jealous of our excellent presentation , so youre making false accusations .
Alice scoffed .
Do I need to ? If youre so confident , show me the evidence .
The representative said , We have it .
Our prepared presentation is the evidence .
That only proves you stole from us ! Doesnt it ? Lukes father looked at Alice , acting self righteous .
Stop embarrassing yourself .
Win with skill , not underhanded tactics .
Alice gritted her teeth .
Sure enough , those in the business world have dirty hands .
Seeing Alices expression , Lukes father felt pleased .
His tone was soft yet menacing .
I advised you earlier .
Apologize , come back , but you refused ! The Maple Leaf representative turned Alice .
Whats going on here Need I explain ? Alice must have a relationship with their CEO .
To climb the ladder , she leaked our ideas .
The representative frowned .
Alices not that kind of person .
Maybe she accidentally leaked it while with him ! Alice turned to a gossiping colleague .
Watch your mouth .
I have nothing to do with him ! Then explain how our work ended up in their presentation ! Alice looked at Chloe and Luke .
You two are quite clever ! Chloe and Luke avoided her gaze .
Lukes father barked , Alice , the victor writes the history .
The business world is a battlefield .
Thats lesson number one .
Remember it ! A Maple Leaf employee stood up , addressing the officials .
I object ! Im reporting Alice and Mr.
Windhams illegal relationship , resulting in the leak of our company secrets ! Lukes father glared .
Hes sWindhaming me ! Ill sue him ! Am I wrong ? Though I hate to admit it , Alice is my estranged sister ! I apologize for this .
Shes always been strong willed , using any means to achieve her goals ! After Lukes father explained his relationship with Alice , the employees face turned pale .
Alice was a heiress ? She never mentioned it and didnt dress expensively .
It was impossible to tell ! 48.75 The representative looked at Alice .
Is he really your brother ? Though I hate to admit it , he was my brother .
But weve cut ties .
We have nothing to do with each other ! Good .
Thats what I I thought .

Alice , prepare for lawsuit for defamation ! Lukes father was determined to force Alice to yield ! Alice clapped sarcastically .
Excellent performance .
But let me tell you , youre the ones wholl be receiving lawsuits ! She turned to the officials .
Director , you believe me now .
The director nodded .
I understand .
Lukes father addressed the director .
Director , my sister often lies .
She ran away to spite us , abandoning her privileged life .
The director pushed up his glasses .
But your sister showed me their ideas before the meeting .
The smile vanished from Lukes fathers face .
What ? Alice had shown the director the ideas beforehand ? Why didnt he know ? Lukes father looked at Chloe and Luke .
Didnt they know ? Alice smiled faintly .
Dont look at them .
If those two idiots knew , there wouldnt have been a show .
Did she think shed leave her laptop open with the documents displayed ? She wasnt stupid ! But two idiots had fallen for it ! Chloe finally realized shed been tricked .
Alice deliberately left her laptop open for her ! Chloe slumped in her chair .
What to do ? Everything was over .
The situation reversed swiftly .
Alice smirked .
I recall the rules state that any unrealistic claims , underhanded tactics , or unfair competition will result in disqualification .
Lukes father realized hed been outmaneuvered .
Alice had played it perfectly , setting him up .
He couldnt explain himself now .
Hed come confident , determined to humiliate Alice .
Chloes stolen ideas were impressive ; hed used them to be safe .
He wanted to teach Alice a lesson ! But violating the rules meant disqualification .
Lukes father didnt want to lose ! He could lose the project , but not to Alice .
Lukes father addressed the director .
Theres more to the story .
I can explain .
Mr.
Windham , please return to your seat .
Presentations will continue .
Well discuss your matter after the event .
Lukes father reluctantly returned to his seat .
Alice walked past him , her laptop in hand .
She said lightly , The victor writes the history .
Thank you for the demonstration ! Lukes father paused , his face grim .
Chapter He looked at Chloe , his eyes terrifying .
Chloe shrunk shrunk back , cold sweat drenching her .
She in deep trouble ! Chloe glared at Alice onstage , filled with resentment : This bitch ! Why didnt she fall into the trap ? Why wouldnt she lose for once ? Why did Alice always win ? Why was life so unfair ? Alice stood onstage , opening her presentation .
The content was entirely different from her prepared material ! and Chloe .
Alice spoke eloquently , her ideas about Al innovative and forward thinking ! Lukes fathers face turned turned ashen .
Alice had planned this , TO get Hed been too careless , underestimating Alice .
Looking at the confident and brilliant Alice , Lukes father felt a strange mix of emotions .
Alice had truly grown .
She was no longer just stubborn ; she was a force to be reckoned with .
Chloe watched Alice , consumed by jealousy .
Lukes face was grim .
He regretted conspiring with Chloe .
Alice would never trust him again ! It was all Chloes fault ! Twenty minutes later , Alices impressive presentation ended .
Silence filled the room .
The director applauded .
Excellent ! Alice , your ideas are groundbreaking , but some were hard to follow .
We need to discuss them further .
Of course .
Alice breathed a sigh of relief .
She hadnt finished preparing that presentation and had improvised on stage .
The Maple Leaf team was stunned by Alices performance .
The representative looked at Alice .
When did you create this ? Alices performance was exceptional ! Last night .
Its not complete , so I didnt tell you .
I didnt expect it to be useful today ! The representative spoke confidently .
Director , what about the Windham Corporations plagiarism ? Lukes father stared at Alice , his face darkening .
