Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 79

Chloe's smile faltered. She'd thought they were there for her. It was al about Alce

Chloe forced a smile. She left after work

“You didn’t invite her?”

“I invited her, but she didn’t want to dine with me. She didn’t get along well with the others. Chloe explained

with feigned helplessness | really tried my best.”

Luke softened slightly | know Alice has a terrible temper, but | didn’t expect her to go to the branch office to fix

the problem. | wonder how long shell list”

Noah chuckled wrylyl convinced her to go. She's the only one who can solve this firewall issor

Second Brother, Alice did this on purpose. Why did you make her go? We can just say the project.

The project has significant investment. We can’t just drop it. This is business, not a child's game. Your livestream

company is also losing money. Think about how you'll explain the finals loss to your older brother.”

Noah left, disappointed that Alice wasn’t there.

A hint of embarrassment flickered across Chloe's face. Was Alice that important?

Luke

angry. “Second

Brother is increasingly biased towards

Chloe gritted her teeth. After all Alice is his biological daughter. Hell naturally feel softer

towards her.”

“Even if she’s his biological daughter, she can’t act so recklessly. | don’t believe Alice has the skil to solve that

problem.” Luke still doubted Alice's involvement, believing Noah had simply put her non the project.

Chloe and Luke eventually joined the company dinner, basking in the attention

After leaving. Noah texted Alice: How was your first day at the company? Tellimmediatel anyone bullies

you!”

Alice had just returned to her apartment. She checked the message, feeling no emotion, and didn’t reply.

After dinner, Alice lay in bed, instinctively opening her chat with Jack. She hesitated, then messaged him: Master,

what are you doing?”

She nervously watched her phone. She felt strange.

After showering, she still hadn't received a reply. She sighed. Was she being too obvious? She regretted sending

the message.

Dejected,

Alice slept poorly, waking up with dark circles under her eyes. Jack still hadn't replied. Dejotet she got ready for

work.

At the office, she started coding. She'd tested the software yesterday and had a good idea of the problem.

Though she’d solved this in her past life, it had been a long time, so she needed to

retest.

“Newbie, you're early. Regretting missing the dinner? Trying to make up for it? Alice ignored him.

Chapter 79

The team lead slammed his fist on the desk.“Newbie, I'm talking to you! What's

your attitude?

“My attitude matches yours. The dinner wasn’t mandatory. | didn’t want to go.” Alice’s reply was

firm.

Other employees, overhearing the exchange, gave Alice a thumbs-up. The younger generation was cleaning up

the workplace!

The team lead was furious. “Newbie, don’t get cocky. Did you finish the documents I assigned yesterday?”

“No.” Alice looked at him calmly. “That’s not my job.”

“You're in the tech department. Of course, it’s your job.”

“My job is to fix messes, like the firewall.” Her tone was cold; she didn’t bother pretending anymore. She just

wanted to finish the firewall issue and leave.

The team lead, unused to such defiance from a newbie, was enraged, “I'll tell the manager to fire you!”

“Go ahead.” Alice ignored him and continued coding. Her fingers flew across the keyboard.

The team lead stormed out, glaring at Alice. “Don’t get too cocky. If you can’t fix the firewall, you're fired. Let's

see what you can do.”

“Don’t worry, I'm better than you.” Alice was unapologetic.

Chloe arrived, still dressed impeccably, greeting everyone with a haughty air. Seeing Alice's code, she had a bad

feeling. If Alice solved the firewall issue, Noah would favor her even more. She needed a plan. Her eyes fell on

the team lead, and an idea sparked.

Alice worked all day, skipping lunch, finally finishing the code. If the test passed tomorrow, she could leave. She

wanted nothing to do with the Windham family.

As she packed up, the team lead sneered.“We never leave on time. Don’t you know the rules, newbie? You're

paid to contribute.”,

Alice remained unfazed.“You're always working late, but haven't solved the firewall issue. If you lack skill,

overtwon't help.”

“Brat! Who's unskilled? Want to test it?”

Alice slapped him. “Men like you, unskilled and harassing female colleagues, should look in the mirror. You're

pathetic!”

Everyone looked over. The team lead, used to being in charge, was shocked. He raised his hand to retaliate.

A hand grabbed his arm.“Who gave you permission to hit her?”

Alice looked up and saw Luke. She was surprised. Usually, Luke just watched her get bullied. That had been the

case in her past life.

The team lead cowered.”Mr. Windham, I... | was just teaching the newbie a lesson.” “This is a company, not a

boxing ring.” Luke’s tone was cold. Alice was his sister. Only he had the right to scold or hit her. A stranger had

no right to touch her! He pushed the team lead away.“Do you know who she is? They'd dared to touch the Lu

heiress! Unbelievable!
