Chapter 180
Alice’s eyes flickered with suspicion at Davis’s words. Seriously ill? She remembered Luke had a stomach problem. She hadn’t heard about any serious illness in her past life! But Luke did look
thinner.
Luke straightened, pushing Davis away. “I’m fine. Old problem.]*
[But sir…]
[Davis, you talk too much.”
Luke stopped Davis, looking at Alice. “I’m not here to plead. They made mistakes; they should be punished.]*
Not pleading?
Luke took a document from Davis [This Al project is promising. I know you’re a key figure at Maple Leaf, but
you should go independent.]” [What do
you mean?]
[This is my company. I’m transferring all the shares to you. Develop the AI project independently. All the profits will be yours when it goes public.]”
Alice looked at the share transfer agreement. She hadn’t expected him to give her the company! After the surveillance incident, Luke had seen through Chloe, regretting his actions and wanting to compensate her?
Alice glanced at it but didn’t take it.“[I don’t need it.]*
“[No, this is my choice. I was a bad brother. I didn’t notice you suffered so much, were tricked by Chloe, misunderstood, punished, and favored over an outsider.]”
Luke pressed the document into her hand.“[I’ve signed it.]”
Alice threw it away.“[I don’t want it!]”
The papers scattered on the ground. Luke’s face was gaunt.“[Alice, I wasn’t a good brother, but I’ll learn.]
“[Who you want to be a good brother to is none of my business!]”
“[How can I make it up to you? I want to be better to you!]*
“[Stay away from me.”
Alice turned and left. Luke stood there, watching her disappear. His hands trembled as he picked up the papers.
He crouched, unable to stand. Davis watched, heartbroken. He’d warned Luke about Chloe, but he hadn’t listened! Alice was independent; she didn’t rely on the Windhams. Reconciliation was difficult.
Alice returned to the dorm, feeling uneasy. She’d always liked Luke best. Luke’s father was often away, short–tempered, and demanding; she’d been afraid of him. The third brother was always in the lab or hospital. The others had their careers; Luke was the youngest and often home. But it was Luke who’d cared for and raised her.
In her past life, Luke had sided with Chloe. Alice had fragmented memories from that life.
Chapter 170-
She pushed those thoughts aside. She didn’t crave their brotherly love or their belated attempts at
amends.
Lying in bed, she saw a notification about an expired red envelope. Jack hadn’t accepted the
money.
Alice texted him:“[?]”
Jack, in a meeting, saw the notification. He opened the chat, a slight smirk on his lips. He replied:“[How are the patches?]*
Alice was surprised by the instant reply.“[They’re good. Where did you buy them?]” “[Take more when you run out. Get some rest.]*
Alice thought he knew what she meant. He wasn’t answering her question! She sent an ellipsis, but he didn’t reply. She tossed her phone aside.
On the weekend, the finals were at the stadium. Alice and her team headed there. Tickets were distributed earlier; they met at the venue.
In the cab, Alice posted a picture of her ticket on social media:“[Heading to the game.]” In her past life, she’d competed in this game. It had been traumatic.
Luckily, Luke’s team wasn’t competing, and Chloe couldn’t steal her victory. Chloe couldn’t take what she had now! She felt happy.
Many fans were at the stadium, discussing the matches. Alice and Chloe greeted the team members outside; the seniors were inside, counting heads.
As the match started, fewer people remained outside.
Alice was about to enter when she saw the Windhams arriving. Chloe was with Luke’s father. Seeing them, she smirked, walking towards the stadium.
“Alice, stop!”
Alice didn’t
turn,
but bodyguards
blocked her. She turned,
impatient.
Luke’s father, grim–faced, approached.“[Forget the Al project. We accept defeat. But you’re suing Chloe and Sixth Brother? Do you have the face to tell Mom and Dad when you graves?]”
visit their
“[You have the face, so why shouldn’t I?] Her parents were her biggest vulnerability. She felt immense guilt.
“[Alice, Chloe was brought into our family for you, to repay a debt. You’re repaying kindness with cruelty. You have no face to visit your parents graves!
You don’t deserve to.]*
Luke’s father knew how to hurt her, to make her yield.
Chloe feigned sincerity.“[Alice, we’ve had conflicts, but I always considered you family. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.]”
Luke’s father was pleased by Chloe’s obedience. He snorted at Alice.“[Chloe’s apologizing. You should know what to do. You’d be disrespecting your parents and Chloe’s deceased father!]” Chloe’s eyelid twitched. Her father wasn’t dead. She’d keep that secret forever. It was her only leverage with the Windhams!

Alice looked at the sky, swallowing her anger.
You’re right. Family shouldn’t fight
Chloe relaxed. That bitch wasn’t pressing charges?
Chloe felt an uneasy premonition.
Something felt wrong!

The readers' comments on the novel: Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice)
This story is incomplete!!! You get us into the story then you leave us with a cliff hanger. Plus there's so many errors. It is obvious that English is second ( or 3rd) language. Author has mixed up names on several characters. Mixed up he/she , him/her. Made story too long by repetitive sentences. Made it look like the reader wasnt able to retain parts of the story by repeating certain aspects. I know authors do that but this author did it too often. This story lets you see what an eye for an eye would mean to some cultures. Needs MAJOR proof reading. Pro: great family drama. The one emotion you feel the most in this story is anger & discuss. There are a few funny (actually hilarious) parts in there. You want the good guy to win even though he may been at fault for something. You want justice for Alice and you want to see her independent from her brothers totally. I feel the author is on the right track but just needs to clean it up....
Except Alice's and Jack's names, all other names are mixed. And why there is LUKE'S FATHER instead of EATHEN...
I want yo ask that wht Alice's surname is keep on changing from Wolsh to Windham to Lu???? And Andrew to Garett? And Jane's name to Chloe as well...
