Max approached, visibly annoyed, and asked, “Julia, you saw Alice's arrogance. Why is she sitting next to Jack?”

“Be quiet, | know.”

Julia angrily returned to her seat. She glanced at Jack in front and overheard people exclaiming about his looks

and wealth.

Remembering her mother’s advice, she briefly smiled.

She knew she had to be patient.

The Wilson family caused Alice's parents’ death, and this fact excited her. With this powerful advantage, she was

so thrilled lately that she couldn't sleep.

Julia's smile turned icy. Now she understood why Jack abruptly moved to New York and took a low-key job as a

school doctor; it was all for Alice.

Jack just wanted to make it up to Alice; he didn’t genuinely care for her. She was still thinking about how to tell

Alice this.

Suddenly, Max hurried to the front and challenged Alice, “Is this your seat? You've been coming old man’s car

recently, and he gave you a Chanel bag, right?” Alice noticed everyone staring at her, as the issue had been a

hot topic at school lately. Max looked smugly at Jack.“See, Alice is the kind of woman who would do anything for

money, and she’s hooking up with tons of guys.”

“Max, stop. It could be a misunderstanding.”

Julia intervened to calm things down, softly saying, “Ms. Welch, | apologize for this. “Julia, why are you backing

Alice? She's been flirting with rich old men all over. People have seen it, and they have pictures.”

Max pulled out his phone and displayed the photos.

Today, he'd expose Alice to Jack.

Seeing the photos, Julia briefly smiled and quickly added, “Jack, it might just be a misunderstanding.”

Jack glanced up and said to Max,“The rich old man you mentioned is likely me.” Alice turned to the man next to

her. Was he actually admitting it?

Didn't he worry about being exposed?

Max's expression froze. “That's impossible.”

How could it be Jack?

Julia looked equally stunned. She examined the car in the photo and verified it was Jack's.

Briefly, Julia fought to control her feelings.

Regardless of why, Jack was truly good to Alice.

Max's face showed a mix of emotions, and she stuttered, speechless.

Jack spoke in a cold voice, “Max, do you know spreading rumors without evidence is against the

law?”

“I... I read it on the school forum.”

Max began to worry. She didn’t want to get in trouble.

Julia swiftly intervened, “Jack, Max just read sforum posts. The one who posted the false rumors should be

blamed.”

“Exactly, | only heard it secondhand. | didn’t start the rumor.”

Max glanced at Julia nervously.“Julia, I'm not involved in this.”

“It’s okay, | trust you.”

Julia felt uneasy and turned to Jack.“If you doubt it, you can look into it.”

Jack’s voice stayed chilly.“But spreading lies and attacking someone is defamation, which is illegal and has legal

repercussions.”

Max's face blanched.

Julia promptly tugged at Max.“Max, you need to apologize to Ms. Welch right now.”

Max looked extremely unwilling.

Julia swiftly addressed Alice, “I'm truly sorry, Alice. Max shouldn't have spread those rumors. I'll ensure she

clears everything up on the school forum, alright?”

She couldn't let Max get into deeper trouble.

Julia didn’t want to see Max end up

behind bars.

Alice offered a wry smile and stood up.“Excuse me.”

She walked directly to the stage to confer with the host about her upcoming speech

Max murmured, “Alice is going to speak? Is she the student

the student representative?”

“No, the first speaker is from a company.”

Julia's expression grew more complex, reluctantly acknowledging that Alice did possess stalents.

Max was stunned. How could Alice be a company representative?

Julia's expression was hard to mask. She turned and returned to her seat, beginning to devise a strategy in her

mind.

She couldn't let Alice keep stealing the show.

Shortly after, Alice stood at the podium, “Hello everyone, I'm Alice Welch, a freshman in the Computer Science

department at Harvard University. Today, I'm not here as a student representative, but as a company

representative.”

As soon as she finished, the entire venue erupted in admiration and chatter.

Max's face contorted with fury.“What's she so smug about? She’s only here because of Jack! What a hypocritical

bitch!”

Max truly doubted Alice's actual abilities.

However, Julia had a different perspective, as she had specifically tasked someone to look into the Maple

Company. Alice did possess the skills and was genuinely the technical lead. That was precisely why she viewed

Alice as her greatest competitor.

She needed to devise a strategy.

After Alice presented the artificial intelligence project on stage, she glanced at the students below and declared,

“Don’t envy others, because the future belongs to our younger generation.” The moment she concluded, the

entire venue burst into thunderous applause and cheers. Jack observed the girl on stage, glowing and
