Chapter 6

Jane and Bryan arrived at the door of Alice's room one after the other. Jane held the box and waiting for Bryan to knock the door. Unexpectedly, Bryan seemed hesitant. "Why are you looking at me? I don't want to touch her door." Jane: "..." She had no choice but to knock on the door. "Sister Alice, Byran is back. He bought you a birthday present." Alice heard the call and open the door. When she saw that John didn't come with her, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She shot a disdainful glance at Jane before turning to Bryan. "A gift from you? How generous?" Bryan snorted proudly. "Do you want it or not?" Jane pretended not to see Alice's irritation and presented the gift eagerly. "Sister Alice, Fifth Brother wake up so early just to get you this! You should open it; it’s bound to be something special!" Alice looked down and saw that the box was big and the package was exquisite. Her heart skipped a beat. She was used to being spoiled in the Wallace family, so she could not accept the fact that John did not spoil her in a short time. Now that she saw Jane and Bryan standing in front of her room to give gifts, she instantly understood that John was afraid that she would be wronged, so he ordered these two people to please her. She immediately became as arrogant as a peacock. "Since you said so, I'll open it and have a look." She raised her noble hand and did not take the box. Instead, she held the box of white stars as a shelf, took the opportunity to open the box. In the next second, the sound of caws could be heard one after another. The lively toad jumped out of the box in no way. One of them jumped directly onto Alice's face! "Ah—!" Alice was so scared that her eyes widened. She could only scream. Her body was stiff and she did not dare to touch the toad. "Ah—!" Jane was also scared out of his wits. "A frog is so ugly! Sister Alice! I'm so scared of a frog!" With this, she rushed to Alice as if she wanted to comfort her. However, she was in such a hurry that she lost her balance and threw herself at Alice. Her little hand, which was in a panic, held the toad firmly on Alice's face! "Croak—!" With a scream from the toad, the knot on its back was broken by Jane, and the thick liquid splashed on Alice's face! "Sister Alice, are you okay?" Seeing this, Jane hurriedly wiped her face with his little hand. But Jane's hands were also filled with thick mud, and he wiped more and more of them on Alice's face! "Don't make any more trouble—ah! You put your finger into my mouth! Get out! Get out!" Alice was so angry that she was about to go crazy. Bryan laughed like a spectator all the time. When John heard the noise upstairs, he put down his business and rushed down. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Alice pushing Jane to the ground with her hands. She scolded, "Stay away from me! It's annoying to see you!" Obviously, the fall of Jane was not light. Her little face was wrinkled with pain and her eyes were full of tears, but she was still sensible and wanted to apologize to Alice. "Sister Alice, I didn't mean it. I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect it to be like this..." "I didn't expect that?" Alice didn't appreciate it, and her attitude was even worse. "I believe in you? I'm an idiot!" Bryan sneered and said, "Aren't you an idiot? You're a big fool who can't be saved!" Alice glared at him angrily. "Bryan! Don't think that I can't see it. You guys surnamed Wallace like to join hands and bully me! You've gone too far to scare me with such disgusting things!" When Mona, the maid who heard the voice, saw John standing at the door with a cold face, she was almost scared out of her wits. However, when she heard her master's shocking words, she hurried to smooth things over. Big Master! Miss didn't do it on purpose. She was scared and afraid that Miss Jane would be stained, so she overturned her. Because of her shout, Alice was so angry that she found that John was standing at the door. Her arrogant look was gone in an instant. She sobbed with grievance and said, "Eldest Brother..." John glanced at her. One could not underestimate a toad's thick slurry. Alice's face was already beginning to turn red. But he did not pity her at all. On the contrary, he was very concerned about what she had just blurted out, "Your surname is Wallace", which made him involuntarily think of the dream last night. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Alice had never regarded herself as a member of the Wallace family? He was the oldest among the children of the Wallace family, so he clearly remembered that Alice was brought back from the street by her parents. At that time, he had called the police. But because he couldn't get in touch with his biological parents, his parents finally chose to adopt this child. At that time, Alice was only three years old and had not been born yet. Her parents doted on her very much. Even after Jane was born, her parents loved her very much. But she didn't expect that she hadn't been in charge of this place for so many years. John pondered for a moment, and Jane also said, "Sister Alice is strange. Aren't you our family? Why do you say that Fifth Brother and I are from the Wallace family?" Only then did Alice realize that what she had just said was full of loopholes! She immediately added, "I, I was too angry to talk nonsense. After all, Bryan was the only one who bullied me in the past. Now that Jane is back, I thought she was a good child. I didn't expect her to bully me with Fifth Brother. I feel so wronged..." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't look bad. With her delicate and pitiful appearance, she was really pitiful. However, there was no pity in Bryan's nickname at all. "Don't talk nonsense! Who bullied who? You cried when my elder brother was here, and you drove me out when my elder brother was not there. I was afraid that I would disturb your birthday party! How dare you say that I bullied you? Nonsense!" John listened to his younger brother's complaint, and his face darkened slightly. He knew very well that although Bryan was not a man of integrity, he never lied to others. With cold eyes, he turned to look at Alice and said, "You've grown up. If you feel wronged in the Wallace family, I can help you contact your biological parents and send you home." "After all, no matter how much I love you, it's impossible for me to chase my younger brother and younger sister out for you. And when you return to your biological parents who are connected by blood, you will be happier than now, won't you?" "No, brother..." Alice's face turned pale. When she realized that something was wrong, she wanted to make up for it. But John did not intend to listen. "It's settled." After that, he picked up Jane and turned to go upstairs. Bryan proudly made an ugly face at Alice and said, "You deserve it! You hate ghosts. Get out of my house!"
