Chapter 3

The tenderness in John's eyes could no longer be suppressed. He felt terrible that he had not recognized his sister when he got home after she had been gone for two years. Regardless of how dirty she was, he hurriedly reached out to embrace the little girl in his arms. No matter how dirty it was, it was fragrant in his heart! "Jane, don't be afraid. I know that you are my sister. I'm not going to take you for an injection." John coaxed her in a gentle voice. Jane leaned into his arms with his soft little face. "Brother is the best!" John's heart was about to melt! He held the little girl in his arms and could not bear to let her go. His cold face, which had always been filled with anger, was now filled with a doting smile on the little girl. He hurriedly ordered the housekeeper, William, "Clean up the room next door and give it to the young lady." William paused. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. John's gentle eyes suddenly showed a cold light. "What's wrong? Why don't you do it?" William pursed his lips and reminded him in a low voice, "Young Master, that's Miss Alice's room..." John replied with an "oh". It seemed that he just remembered that Alice was also at home. He lowered his eyes and looked at Alice. Alice hated Jane so much that she clench her teeth. But when John looked at her, she immediately put on a look of grievance and said, "Brother..." However, John turned a blind eye to this! Jane has been away for quite some time and has finally come back home. It feels more secure for her to stay with me. John said in a stern tone, "Gather your things and relocate to the first floor." "The first floor?" Alice's friends exchanged surprised glances, whispering, "Didn’t Alice mention that the first floor is reserved for the staff and housekeepers?" "Jane has been away for quite some time and has finally come back home. It feels more secure for her to stay with me." John said in a stern tone, "Pack up your luggage and move to the first floor." "The first floor?" Alice's friends exchanged surprised glances, whispering, "Didn’t Alice mention that the first floor is reserved for the staff and housekeepers?" "Indeed, she claimed to be the little princess at home. She has always been allowed to pick rooms on the second floor and above. But... why is her Alice move to the first floor? Doesn’t that make her seem like a servant?" Although their voices were low, Alice could still catch snippets of Lisa and Lilia's conversation. Her small hands were tightly clenched, and her little body quivered with emotion. Today was her birthday party, a day meant for her to show off. Yet, because of Jane, she took away her brother's favor and was looked down upon by her friends! How could she possibly hold back her anger? "Brother, Jane is so young. Living on the upper floor can be quite risky. It would be better for her to stay on the first floor. Just tidy up the servant's room downstairs!" "As long as you look up and know that my brother is upstairs, you will definitely feel at ease," Alice said thoughtfully. John's eyes turned cold. Obviously, he felt that the servant room was not good enough for his little princess. Just as he was about to say something, Jane interjected with a knowing smile, "Brother, it looks like sister Alice really loves her room. She’s not willing to let me have it. That’s okay, though. I can stay in the servant's room." "Although I'm a little far away from you, and I may have nightmares at night, I will be strong and I won't be afraid!" Although she said so, her red-rimmed eyes and choked voice made John's heart ache. What kind of hardships did his little sister go through to become so wise? Jane's here with me, and I’m not about to let anything happen to her. John shot Alice a frosty look and warned, "You’ve got thirty minutes to tidy up this place. If not, I’m tossing out whatever’s left." With that, he did not give Alice any room for discussion and went upstairs with Jane in his arms. Watching them walk away down the hall, Alice's face turned white with rage. Looking at their backs disappearing at the end of the corridor, Alice's little face turned pale with anger. She had no mood for the birthday party. She ordered the housekeeper to send her friends away and then angrily went to the new room that John had arranged for her. This room was way smaller than hers and had a really basic decor. It didn’t even come close to one out of ten thousand of her former princess room. As she stood there, Alice felt her anger rising more and more. "Miss." Meanwhile, the maid Mona quietly dodged everyone's gaze as she entered the room to find her. "Are you alright?" Alice held back her frustration and replied, "I'm fine. It's just that Jane took over my room, and it really bothers me." Mona let out a sigh of relief. She was super worried that after spending so much time with the Wallace family, Jane might start developing feelings for the people around here, which would eventually delay their plan. Fortunately, although Alice was young, she was really sensible. "With Jane back, what’s our next move?" Mona set aside one concern and started fretting over another. "She’s the youngest of the Wallace family. As long as she’s around, it’ll be tough for you to connect with them." Alice had abandoned Jane for this reason. As this thought crossed her mind, , Alice's face turned cold, and a fierce look appeared in her eyes, one that seemed too intense for someone her age. "She blocked my way. I’ll make sure to get rid of her. This time, I will make sure that she will never return to the Wallace family!" Back at home, Jane took a comfortable shower. When she went out of the bathroom, she saw that the maid had come in with dozens of clothes. "Little Miss, this is the clothes that the young master asked us to buy temporarily. The young master said that you should wear it first. When you have time later, you can go to the mall to choose what you like in person." Looking at the clothes, she found that there were all kinds of clothes, from pajamas and outfit for heading out. She walked over and took a closer look at the price. "Oh my god, any one of them will cost more than 10,000 dollar!" When Jane sighed with emotion at his brother's true love for me, he couldn't help sighing with emotion. "This is too expensive!" She casually picked out a piece of pajamas and put it on, and then sent the maid away. She locked the door and took out a brick-style cell phone from her precious rabbit doll. She opened it skillfully and soon code appeared on the screen. Seeing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on the little girl's face. When John was holding her, she secretly put a piece of flesh-colored chip behind her John's ear. Now it seemed that the data on the chip had begun to transfer. This chip was made by her when she developed the time shuttle machine. In the chip, there was all the information of the Wallace family. As long as it was attached to a person's designated acupuncture point, the information would be transmitted into the human brain through a dream method. Jane never imagined that a dream could split her older brother and Alice apart. However, once the seed of doubt was sown, her brother would likely keep his feelings hidden from Alice, preventing the same tragedy from occurring again. ... The next day, Jane chose one of the dozens of little princess dresses arranged by John yesterday. She was so adorable and heading downstairs. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Alice coming out of the room. When she saw her, Alice's face instantly turned livid. Jane looked at Alice, but she smiled and greet, "Good morning, Sister Alice!" As she spoke, she turned the hem of her dress around and asked Alice innocently, "This is the new dress that my brother bought for me. Does Sister Alice think it looks good?" Alice clenched her teeth tightly, feeling as if she might shatter them! "It seems like she did that on purpose, right?" Yesterday, she totally ruined her birthday party, and now she’s here flaunting her new dress in front of her! This dress looked so much better than any of the ones John had ever bought for her! Alice was so angry and didn’t feel like talking. Noticing her silence, Jane pouted, tears welling in her eyes, and asked, "Sister Alice, why are you ignoring me? Don’t you like me?" Alice was speechless. So you're not blind! She couldn’t take it anymore. With John absent, she rolled her eyes at Jane and whispered angrily, ""Your skirt is beautiful, but you are too ugly. You don't deserve this skirt at all!" Just then, a cold voice interrupted, "Alice, what did you just say?"
