Thinking back to how the Spencers had bullied and humiliated Alice in the past, everyone could not help but sigh.Â
If they had known this would happen today, they should never have acted that way back then.Â
“Do you think Mrs. Nolan will forgive him?”Â
“Of course she will. Mr. Scott already bowed and begged. Mrs. Nolan isn’t made of stone.”Â
“He already apologized. What more does she want, to have him thrown in jail?”Â
“If he knows he was wrong and wants to fix his mistakes, that’s a good thing. Besides, he’s her biological brother.”Â
“Honestly, even if my own brother knew he was wrong, he’d never actually apologize to me.”Â
“Aren’t you all morally cornering her a bit?”Â
“If this were an outsider, sure. But this is Mrs. Nolan’s biological brother. He’s supposed to be her support in the future.”Â
“That’s true. If Mr. Nolan ever has another woman someday, Mrs. Nolan’s brothers would not be easy to deal with.”Â
“Exactly. Mr. Scott already gave her a way out. She should just take it.”Â
“Why isn’t she saying anything? This is making me anxious.”Â
Alice was not deaf. Every word of their discussion reached her.Â
Pretending not to hear would have been too fake.Â
Scott heard it, too.Â
He hurried to explain, “No, that’s not what I mean. Alice, I truly want you to forgive me.Â
“Every time you leave the Nolan Tower, you leave with Mr. Nolan. No one is allowed to get close.Â
“I had no chance to talk to you. I sent you messages, but you never replied. I didn’t even know whether you saw them.”Â

“Alice, I really want you to give me a chance so I can be a proper brother to you.”Â
Someone in the crowd was actually moved to tears.Â
“What Mr. Scott said is so touching. If it were me, I would forgive him immediately.”Â
“They’re siblings by blood. What is it that he had done that couldn’t be forgiven?”Â
“Mrs. Nolan is being too harsh. Does she want to force Mr. Scott to kneel?”Â
Alice suddenly let out a cold laugh, lifted her gaze, and spoke slowly.Â
“Mr. Scott, you should understand this very clearly.”Â
Her tone was extremely cold.Â
“Compared to those so–called happy endings, I actually prefer justice served.”Â
That single sentence carried enormous weight.Â
It slammed straight into Scott’s chest.Â
He did have a bit of selfish intent today.Â

He wanted Alice to accept him as her brother, and he also wanted her to accept the rest of the Spencers.Â
He wanted her to accept the help the Spencers offered to her so that he could feel at ease.Â
But he had not expected her to snap back at him like this.Â
“Alice.”Â
His chest ached dully, and hisÂ
eyes reddened.Â
“Do you have any more emotional speeches to give?” Alice asked impatiently.Â
Scott choked on his words. “I…”Â
Alice let out a cold smile.Â
“You should understand that no matter how sincere you are, I will not forgive you.Â
“In my eyes, the Spencers are all the same.Â

“To me, you are all strangers.Â
“Mr. Scott, please show some self–respect and leave.”Â
After saying that, she turned and left, without the slightest hesitation.Â
Scott stood frozen in place.Â
His eyes grew even redder.Â
Did he really have no chance left?Â
Did he really lose Alice as a sister completely?Â

Daniel had been in the crowd earlier, planning to manage the situation. He did not expect Alice to confront Scott so mercilessly and leave immediately afterward.Â
But his anger had not subsided.Â
He walked straight up.Â
“Mr. Scott, I have a few questions for you.”Â
Scott was still drowning in overwhelming sorrow.Â
He did not even notice him.Â
Daniel did not care whether Scott was paying attention and asked directly. “If Mrs. Nolan were not part of Nolan Group, and if she wasn’t Mr. Nolan’s wife, would you still want to reconcile with her so badly?”Â
“If Mrs. Nolan had no abilities at all and were just an ordinary country bumpkin, would you still feel this upset that she rejected you?”Â
“Mr. Scott, say something.Â
“Do you dare to answer my questions?”Â
“I suggest that you think this over. You should only come back and ask for Mrs. Nolan’s forgiveness when you’ve truly figured out what is best for her.”Â
Daniel mocked him without mercy. He originally just wanted Scott gone.Â
Unexpectedly, his words awakened the onlookers.Â

They had always believed that since Scott had admitted his mistake, Alice should understand his difficulties and therefore forgive him.Â
But Daniel’s words opened their eyes.Â
They suddenly saw how Scott was actually guilt–tripping Alice for his own agenda.Â
At that moment, they suddenly felt a little guilty for judging Alice.Â
Earlier, they had voiced those comments because they thought Alice should just be the bigger person and forgive Scott.Â
Now they understood that being happy and true to oneself was what mattered most.Â
Instead of forgiving others blindly, one should always put their own feelings first.Â
It was okay not to forgive if one didn’t feel like it.Â
The crowd slowly dispersed, but Scott still could not snap out of it.Â
He truly had not expected things to turn out this way.Â
“I really just wanted to be her brother, to protect her properly, and let her feel the warmth of family.”Â
