Chapter 67
Alice hung up, finding it ridiculous. Generous? Last time, her generosity had led to her dying alone in a mental hospital.
Noah texted: [I increased your allowance by $10,000. Stop being angry, okay?]
Alice smirked. She’d never cared about having more than Chloe. They never understood what mattered to her.
She went to Garrett’s room. He was yawning, his hair messy. He handed her a card.“Get your hair done this afternoon. Tell them I sent you.”
Thanks.” Alice took the card. The Windhams would have arranged this before. Chloe and Luke would be at the event. She didn’t care about makeup, but this was her first public appearance. since leaving home. She didn’t want to be underestimated.
Jack glanced at Alice, seeing a smile–no more anxiety or timidity. He smiled slightly. The sapling he’d nurtured had finally grown.
Alice took her dress and prepared to leave.
Garrett said, “Alice, we have things to do. We can’t wait around for you to get ready. I have no patience for that!”
that!” He and Jack couldn’t be seen together by reporters.
“It’s fine. I can go myself.” Alice looked at Jack. He looked up, his gaze deep.“Call me if you anything.”
Alice smiled and left.

After she left, Garrett said lazily, “Jack, Alice’s an adult now. Getting dressed up is normal. She date, get married. You can’t make her a prude! Some smooth–talking guy might trick her!”
Jack, after suppressing his annoyance, kicked Garrett. Garrett, anticipating this, jumped and continued, “Didn’t you say Alice liked someone? Maybe a classmate! They’ll be lovey–dovey in college!”
“Shut up!” Jack rubbed his temples, feeling agitated.
Alice took a cab to the salon. Jane arrived shortly after. “Is this salon trustworthy? I’ve never heard. of it.”
“A friend recommended it. It should be fine.” Alice had invited Jane; the invitation allowed at
guest.
At the salon, Alice said, “I was referred by Garrett.”
“Miss Alice. He told me. Come in.”
Alice waited for her hair and makeup. Jane said, “Alice, the haters are awful! Chloe even liked their comments! Everyone thinks you have a sponsor. Noah’s your brother; why isn’t he defending you?”
Alice was calm.“Whatever.”
“I used to envy your brothers, but now I see they favor Chloe. It’s better not having them.” Alice looked at her reflection, feeling detached. She was finally independent.. Hours later, the styling was done. Alice put on the dress; she looked unfamiliar. Jane took pictures. “Alice, you look beautiful! Chloe manipulated you, making you feel invisible.”
Aloe took some selfies with Jane. “Let’s go.”
They took a cab to the event at a five–star hotel. Many luxury cars and reporters were there.
Jane was nervous. I’ve never been to such an event. If you weren’t here, I’d be helping my brother, not entering through the front door!”
Alice acted nonchalant. Don’t worry. We have invitations.”
As they approached, reporters swarmed towards someone.
Jane looked A celebrity!”
Luke and Chloe emerged from a car. Chloe was in a custom dress, wearing an emerald necklace and jade bracelet, looking like a wealthy heiress.
Alice recognized the jewelry–the apology gifts her brothers had given her. Now Chloe had them. Alice didn’t feel sad, she didn’t care about her brothers anymore.
Chloe enjoyed the attention; the jewelry was valuable. Alice was gone; now Chloe had everything

Chloe said “We’re also curious. She hasn’t revealed her face.”
“But some say her voice sounds like Alice Windham. Is that true?”
Chloe’s face was strained.“Yes, but there are look–alikes. Similar voices are common. It nothing. Alice couldn’t have become. a famous streamer. It was

“I don’t. If she was that good, she wouldn’t be on Shrimp Live. Alice would be on Green Fruit.” Chloe glanced at Luke.“Luke, right?”
Luke looked uncomfortable. He couldn’t answer. If Alice was “Sweet Lemon,” would she sign with his platform? Before, he’d have been sure. Not anymore. But he didn’t want to lose face. “Yes. If my sister debuted, she’d sign with me.” They were family.

Comments
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...
