Chapter 76 (2/2)

Li shoved Dor into the room and closed the door. Alice smiled with her arms crossed as she looked at the two of them. On the surface, the smile looked gentle, but Li didn't fall for it.

”Why are you acting like that? I've only come to meet my friend…”

Alice stepped nearer to Li. Li clenched her fists instinctively. The white and horrifying face leaned closer. It was the face of the crazy girl who had killed her. Remembering the fear she had felt before, Li trembled. It seemed as if Alice would stab her with a knife at this very moment.

”How strange. I've seen you for the first time today, but somehow, I feel like I know you. Do you know me?”

Her lovely voice flowed out of her like a chirping bird.

”Go—go away…” Li barely got up the courage to mumble.

Alice snorted. ”That's not an answer to what I asked. Should I change the question then? Who are you?”

Alice examined Li's face. Li screamed quietly and scurried away from her, but Alice soon caught her by the shoulder. The neatly manicured fingernails stabbed menacingly into her arm.

”I've never seen anything like you before. What are you? Are you a regular here? What are you planning to do? I don't know how you came to know March, but that's all useless because March fell for me at first sight.”

Li had seen March once when she had still been in that body. At that time, she had heard Alice's thoughts and had found out that March liked her. That thought now left Li feeling raw.

How could March like that crazy girl? If it was love at first sight, was it because of her face? But that face originally belonged to Li—which meant that the person who should be receiving love from March was Li, not Alice.

So everything was that girl's fault. Li instinctively reached out her hand and grabbed at Alice's blond hair. She heard Alice scream but continued to pull hard at it.

”Ah! It hurts! You crazy bitch! Let go! Ack!”

”The crazy one is you!”

Li clenched her teeth and shook Alice by her hair. Through the golden strands of hair, Alice's eyes turned red and glared at Li. Then the white hands grabbed Li's black hair.

”Ack!”

It hurt so much there were tears in her eyes, but Li mustered all her strength and pulled as hard as she could at the blond hair. As she did, Alice sank her teeth into Li's arm.

In immense pain, Li used a move that March had taught her and kicked Alice hard in the stomach.

”Ah!”

She must have made good contact because the teeth and hands that held on to her released. Li used that moment to hit Alice with all she had. Winded from pain, Alice tried to grab Li again when...

”You! What are you guys doing!” came the astonished voice of March, who had returned from the mart.

March ran over to them and pulled them away from each other. Then he checked over Li. When she had still been asleep, he had secretly felt her smooth black hair, but now it was messed up and tousled. Her white face was streaked with tears, and her arm had red teeth marks on it.

”Alice—you!”

March yelled at Alice in anger. Alice was actually in a worse state than Li by far. Li had beaten her face, her cheekbones were swollen, and she had a black eye. March tried desperately not to laugh.

”Hey, Alice. You okay?” March asked bluntly.

Alice had still healed Dor—although he knew that the motive for that was to get at him and that she had not necessarily done it from the goodness of her heart.

Alice started to tear up out of the blue as she looked at March. ”I only came because I wanted to see you and Dor, but this girl suddenly started to attack…”

”Really? That's strange. Li's not the type to attack just anyone.”

Alice observed March as if unable to believe what she was seeing. However, March's eyes were cold as he stared at the person threatening an important person to him in his own house.

”If she is getting this mad at you, then you must have done something to warrant it. What did you do to her?”

”I—I…”

”Forget it. Get out of my house now.”

When Alice didn't move, March led Li inside and came back outside. He spotted Jeremy a few steps away and explained the situation to him. Jeremy listened with a strange expression on his face and fake coughed. March thought he heard laughter mixed in with the cough but convinced himself that it was just his imagination.

”Will Heart be very angry?”

Currently, Alice was known to be favored by Heart. March looked nervously at Jeremy. Jeremy patted March on the shoulder.

”You're the guy working under White Rabbit, right?”

”Yes, I am, but…”

”Then it's fine. I'll handle it, so you don't have to worry.”

Jeremy went inside and brought Alice out with him. Her hair was a mess, her clothes were ripped in places, and she wore an expression of severe annoyance as they returned to Heart's place.
