Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

Alice met Luke’s father’s gaze, a slight smirk playing on her lips. 

“Let’s wait until the event ends. No rush. Everyone’s watching; the plagiarism will be exposed!” “Alice, watch your words!” 

He’d been called a plagiarist! Luke’s father was furious. Using Alice’s ideas hadn’t been hist original plan; it was an impromptu change. 

Alice merely smiled sarcastically and returned to her seat. 

The other companies continued their presentations. 

Alice’s actions shocked the Maple Leaf team. The man who’d earlier questioned Alice was now silent and ashamed. 

The representative cautiously asked, “Alice, Mr. Windham is your brother. Are you really going to pursue 

this?” 

They hadn’t expected Alice to be a heiress, so intelligent and driven, leaving no room for ordinary people! 

Alice replied coldly, “I said we’ve cut ties. He’s nothing to me.” 

The 

representative looked at Alice’s

expression. “He’s still your 

brother.” 

Alice was impatient. “I don’t need your advice. I’m the project lead. I must pursue this plagiarism 

case!” 

Alice’s tone was firm. The representative fell silent. 

Alice’s phone buzzed. She glanced at it:“[Alice, Dad wasn’t involved. Please don’t pursue this. Consider it a plea from Sixth Brother.]” 

“Tsk!” 

Sarcasm flickered in Alice’s eyes. A plea? What a pathetic display! 

Alice looked at Luke, coldly deleting the message without replying. 

Luke knew she’d refused. 

Luke’s father looked. at Chloe and Luke. You better explain this. 

me!” 

His meticulously prepared project had been crushed and humiliated by Alice! He couldn’t swallow his pride! If he hadn’t used the ideas Chloe had stolen, this wouldn’t have happened! 

The event concluded with the director’s closing reDaniels. But nobody left; the plagiarism issue remained unresolved. Everyone wanted to see the outcome. 

Alice watched Luke’s father, grim–faced, leave with Chloe and Luke. 

Outside, Luke’s father was furious.“What are we going to do? Didn’t you realize Alice set a trap?” 

Two idiots! 

Chloe cried, explaining, “Dad, Alice tricked me.” 

Chapter 172 

Luke stared at Chloe. You were tricked! When I noticed, I should’ve stopped you, not collude with you!” 

Chloe’s hands trembled. 

Her voice choked with tears.“Dad, I was blinded. You’ve worked so hard, dealing with the Garcias because of Alice. 

I thought if Alice failed, she’d realize how hard life is outside and return to the Windham family. I’m sorry, Dad. Sixth Brother and I didn’t mean to,” 

Luke’s father angrily tugged at his tic. “What am I supposed to say? Think of a solution!” Luke looked at Chloe, then said, “Dad, this has nothing to do with me! Chloe stole Alice’s data!” 

“Yes, it’s all my fault. Sixth Brother isn’t involved.” 

Joe shrunk back, looking pathetic. 

Luke’s father glanced at Chloe, then at Luke, displeased. “You’re her brother. You can’t shirk responsibility and let Chloe take the blame!” 

“No, no, Dad! It really wasn’t me!” 

“You two came together. Chloe spoke, but you knew and participated. 

Now it’s exposed, and you say you’re not involved?” 

Luke was distraught. He hadn’t done anything; it was all Chloe’s idea! Luke looked at Chloe. Explain it to Dad. Was it solely your doing? I tried to stop you!” 

Chloe’s lips were tight. She whispered, “Yes, it was all me, Dad.” 

Luke’s father pulled Chloe close. “Don’t be afraid of Sixth Brother. I’ll protect you. You don’t have to take all the blame.” 

Chloe nodded obediently.“If Alice pursues this, blame me. Don’t let it affect Sixth Brother’s future.” 

“Chloe, what are you saying?” 

Luke looked at Chloe incredulously. This wasn’t his fault! But in his father’s eyes, he was an accomplice! 

Alice walked over, smiling. “So, have you decided how to resolve this? Everyone’s waiting.” 

Luke’s father, grim–faced, lowered his voice.“Alice,

you played dirty.” 

Alice smiled.“Mr. Windham, think about how to resolve this. Let me learn. Though I probably won’t need to!” 

“You!” 

Luke’s father was furious. 

Chloe hid behind him, unable to speak, to face Alice. 

Luke’s father swallowed his anger.“Alice, what do you

Alice covered her mouth, deliberately raising her voice.“Pushing it? I’m following the rules. Where’s the pushing it?” 

“Alice, Chloe and Sixth Brother didn’t mean to. They were careless. You don’t have to pursue this over a small matter.” 

“You mean they carelessly sat in front of my laptop, carefully reviewing my ideas, meticulously. photographing them, then giving them to you, and you incorporating them into your presentation? 

Carelessly presenting it, you mean? 

Alice’s tone was cold. “You probably think they were carelessly caught, with undeniable evidence, facing the consequences, right?” 

Luke’s father was furious! Yet he couldn’t argue. 

“Alice, must you be so infuriating? I’ve been working outside, and I didn’t realize you’d become like this.” 

Luke’s father remembered the obedient Alice from his childhood. 

Alice’s tone was unyielding, assertive. 

Luke’s father realized Alice wasn’t the timid and fearful girl she used to be. Luke’s father softened. “As long as you don’t pursue this, what do you want? Alice, no matter the conflict, we’re family. Can’t we talk?” 

Sarcasm played on Alice’s lips. Family now? 

Her voice was flat. “We can’t talk.”
