say that again!” A burning pain flared on her cheek. She licked her lips, the air around her thick with tension.

She'd had enough. She'd thought escaping the Winds would bring peace, that her position within the family

wasn't that significant. But they relentlessly pursued her. Her disgust reached its peak. Chloe stepped forward,

feigning concern. “Brother, don’t be angry. Alice is talented; she hasn't contributed nothing. It's all my fault...

Alice retaliated, slapping Chloe with all her might. Chloe stumbled back, shocked that Alice had dared to strike

her. Clutching her burning cheek, she screamed, “Are you crazy? You actually hit me?!”

Alice’s expression was cold.”Didn’t you say it was all your fault? If so, a slap isn’t excessive, is it?” Play the white

lotus act, why don’t you?

up

Chloe was speechless. She'd only spoken the words, not actually admitted guilt. Tears welled in her eyes.

“Brother, if a slap from Alice can ease your anger, | have no complaints.”

Ethan protectively pulled Chloe behind him.“Alice, you're becoming increasingly unruly. Just because you've

contributed a little to the family, you think you can lord it over us?”

Luke spoke up, “Brother, Alice's telling the truth.”

“Nonsense! Without the Winds, would you be this successful?” Ethan believed Alice was simply arguing, and he

was furious about the slap.

Several people arrived at the doorway. “We're here to investigate the exam cheating allegations.” Ethan glanced

at his bodyguards and let the investigators in. He turned back to Alice. “The investigators are here. Let's see how

long you can keep up this charade. You cheated and didn’t think people would suspect you after suddenly

becoming valedictorian? Stupid!” Chloe, feigning understanding, said, “Brother, Alice probably wanted the

family’s approval and

took a risk.”

Ethan said coldly, “If you apologize and show remorse, you can stay in the family.” She was his sister, regardless

of her flaws. A little food wouldn’t kill her!

Alice replied coldly, “I don’t want to stay.”

“You think a high school diploma will keep that nurse with you after you're penalized? I'll kick, you out. Once he

knows you're not a Wind, will he still treat you so well? Wake up! No one is kind for no reason!” Ethan raged,

seeing his sister as a victim seduced by an outsider, even cheating on exams. He never demanded top grades;

just to avoid trouble.

Alice smirked, “You're so sure | cheated before the investigation is over? Don’t you wantto do well?”

“I know your personality!” Ethan was impatient.

Luke interjected, “Brother, during the monthly exams, ssuspected her of cheating. | witnessed her taking

the test independently; her score was high. This was true. Seeing Ethan. treat Alice so harshly, Luke was

reminded of his own past behavior. He felt a pang of guilt. No wonder Luke said Alice was hurt; he hadn't

understood before. Now he did. Ethan frowned. Luke, don’t speak for her. The investigation will reveal the truth.”

Alice crossed her arms. “That's what | think too.”

“Stubborn till the very end,” Ethan said, gesturing to th

investigators. “You've always been unruly. I'm not surprised. Don’t worry about her feelings, begin the

investigation.” If this lesson humbled Alice, that would be good.

Chloe was thrilled. Alice was finally being brought down. Why was Alice the valedictorian when Chloe struggled

to get into a decent college? If she couldn't succeed, neither could Alice. The lead investigator looked at Alice.

Please answer honestly, did you cheat?” Alice replied coldly, “No. You've asked this already. Is there a point to

asking again?” The investigator was surprised. “This is our first tmeeting you.”

Now Alice was surprised.“No way. You were at school a few days ago.” She knew there wouldn't be a second

investigation.

Chloe said slyly, “Did you find something? Is this a second investigation?” She wanted to ruin. Alice’s reputation.

Ethan said, “Another investigation is fine.”

The investigator looked questioningly between Chloe and Alice.“Which one of you is Chloe?” “I am,” Chloe

replied, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. Would she be forced to testify? Then, a flash of triumph.

Chloe said, “I'm Alice's classmate. | know her grades were always poor. Though she improved in the last few

months, she might've just gotten lucky. A dark horse, you know.” “That's not what we're asking.’

Ethan

frowned. Just investigate.

Alice. Why

are

you questioning

Chloe?

“We're investigating Chloe for cheating, not Alice.”

Silence fell over the room.

Alice raised an eyebrow. No wonder things were moving so fast.

Chloe exclaimed, “Why are you investigating me? | didn’t cheat!” But panic swelled inside her. Wasn't the

investigation about Alice's cheating? Why was she being targeted? Had her little actions been discovered?

Ethan also exclaimed, “Yes, the reported cheater is Alice. Are

you mistaken?”

“No mistake. We're investigating Chloe. We have squestions.” Chloe backed away, her eyes pleading with

Ethan.“Brother, | didn’t cheat! What's this, a smear

was done for! campaign?” She couldn't let them discover her cheating. She
