Alice, do you even realize your mistake?”
lice’s mouth and nose were submerged in water, choking her throat painfully. As she opened her eyes from the brink of death, he saw her second brother, Noah, on the poolside, along with her fourth brother, Caleb, who was holding Chloe in his arms.
flicker of shock crossed her eyes; this scene felt all too familiar. Had she not died? Was she somehow reborn on the day three ears ago when Chloe was officially adopted by the her family as a foster daughter?
The memory came flooding back: At the banquet, Chloe had deliberately schemed against her, making everyone believe she had ushed Chloe into the water on purpose. Caleb had been the first to notice them, but he only saved Chloe, leaving Alice, who ouldn’t swim, to struggle on her own in the water. And then, Noah was pressing Alice to admit her fault, implying that if she idn’t, he wouldn’t save her.
Desperately, she struggled in the water, begging for forgiveness, pleading with her brothers to rescue her. It was only at the point of
ear death that she was finally pulled out.
‘rom that moment on, she dared not provoke Chloe again, carefully trying to please her brothers at home, but what did she Itimately gain?
Chloe stole Alice’s thesis, and Noah testified for Chloe, branding Alice a plagiarist and getting her expelled.
When Chloe needed a kidney transplant due to her poor health, Alice’s third brother, Alex, personally took Alice to the operating oom to give Chloe a kidney.
When Chloe needed to boost her international competition results, her other brothers-the forth brother Caleb, the fifth brother inn, and the sixth brother Luke-had unceremoniously kicked Alice off the team.

Chloe’s true nature.

he, as their biological sister, couldn’t even compare with an outsider.
On the deck, Noah had been entirely focused on Chloe, and only when he no longer heard Alice’s struggles did he turn to look at ne pool-Alice had already sunk to the bottom. Upon seeing this, Noah’s face turned pale:”Alice!”
Vithout a second thought, he jumped into the water.
When Chloe saw Alice sink, a glimmer of delight flashed in her eyes; it would be better if Alice died. She feigned weakness, ugging at fourth brother Caleb’s sleeve, saying weakly, “Caleb… I want to save Alice, too. She fell into the water because of me.”
Caleb, who had been worried, quickly reassured Chloe, “Don’t be ridiculous. Noah’s got it. Alice’s just reaping what she sowed. She von’t die!” He turned his gaze back to the pool, his expression complex.

She had already been left with a rauma, but to please Noah, she had pushed through her fear and learned to swim, but Noah only praised Chloe’s bravery, ignoring Alice’s silent struggle. Little did he know, that minute Alice was intentionally left in the water had left her with severe aftereffects.
but no one cared about her well-being; Noah’s eyes were only for Chloe.
Alice, what’s this charade? Do you think pretending to drown will erase the mistake you just made?” Noah blocked her path, eeling that Alice seemed to have changed significantly. When did she learn to swim?
Alice looked up at Noah, who had once been her favorite. Her older brother, Ethan, had always been strict, but Noah had been a ittle bit kinder to her. Now, however, Noah’s eyes were filled with disgust and impatience.
Chloe’s soft voice cut through the air. “Noah, it’s not Alice’s fault. I know she never liked me joining the family. it was my greed that ed me to hope for family. Please don’t argue because of me; you’re all so important to me…”
