Chapter 126 Chloe, nursing her injuries, cried, âBrother, you saw! I was trying to persuade Alice to apologize and return home. She pushed me down the stairs!â
Ethan rushed to Chloeâs side, supporting her.âChloe, donât worry, Iâll get justice for you.â He yelled at his secretary, âCall the police!â
Chloe, feigning vulnerability, said, âBrother, if we call the police, Alice will have a record. Let it An apology is enough.â
go.
Seeing Chloeâs graciousness, Ethan felt protective. He confronted Alice. You hurt Chloe, but sheâs forgiving, worried about you getting a record. Are you even human? Is this how I raised you?â
As Ethan spoke, Jack covered Aliceâs ears. He whispered, âDonât listen; itâs filth.â
Aliceâs heart trembled; a wave of emotion washed over her. The joy was overwhelming. Sheâd been controlling her feelings for Jack, but heâd reâentered her life. It was hard not to fall for him.
âAlice, Iâm talking to you! Are you deaf?â
Alice snapped back, âMy hearing is fine. Some people need an eye exam.
âIf you apologize to Chloe before the police arrive, we wonât press charges,â Ethan said, wanting to give her a chance. He didnât want her to have a criminal record.
Alice found this laughableâtypical Wind behavior. Their condescending attitude hadnât changed.
Aliceâs tone was sarcastic.âApologize to Chloe again? Am I born to apologize to her?
âItâs for your own good!â
âOh, really? I find it disgusting!â
Ethanâs voice cracked.âAlice, Iâm giving you a chance!â
Jackâs voice was arrogant.âShe doesnât need anyoneâs chance!â
âSheâs relying on that man! This is Peking, not your small town!â
âOh,âsmall town? Brother, donât forget where you came from. Donât be so ungrateful!â Alice realized Ethan had changed; Pekingâs wealth had blinded him.
Jack looked at Alice. Leave if youâre uncomfortable. Iâll handle this.â
âNo need. Letâs wait for the police.â Alice looked coldly at Ethan.âYou said assault leaves a record, right?â
âYes, scared now? Break up with that boy and apologize to Chloe!â
âApologize? In your dreams!â Alice wasnât afraid.
Soon, the police arrived. Chloe cried out in pain. Ethan pointed at Alice. She hurt wanted the police to teach Alice a lesson.
my sister!â He Chloe, triumphant, said, âAlice, I wouldâve forgiven you if you apologized, but you refuse to admit.
it.â
âChloe, youâre too kind. Alice doesnât deserve it.â
âBrother, weâre family! We canât let Alice go down the wrong path!â Chloe feigned innocence.
The police looked at Alice. âMaâam, youâre suspected of assault. Please come with us. Jackâs face hardened.âWho dares touch her!â
Ethan sneered. âBoy, this is Peking!â
Jackâs expression was calm.âSo?â
Alice stopped Jack, turning to the police.âAssault occurred, but Iâm not the culprit. She is!â She pointed at Chloe.
Chloe panicked.âWhat are you saying? Youâre shifting the blame!â No one had seen what happened; no one would believe Alice.
Ethan laughed coldly. âThis is your defense? Accusing Chloe?â
Chloe said, âAlice, T didnât Want 01 press charges, but youâre too much.â âAre you serious? You attacked me first and fell; now youâre playing the victim?â
Chloe hung her head.
Ethan fumed.âAlice, youâre disappointing! Still denying it!â
âI didnât do it. Prove it! Do you have evidence Chloe hit me first?
âYes,â Alice smiled, gesturing to the wall.âThere are security cameras outside; they captured everything.â
Chloeâs face went white! There were cameras here? Stairs usually didnât have cameras! This was bad. If the footage was shown, she was finished. Lukeâs attitude had already changed; losing Ethanâs trust would be disastrous.
Alice said coldly, âThe truth will be revealed.â
Jack glanced at Alice; she was prepared.
âBrother, let it go. Itâs my fault. Even if Iâm injured, weâre family. This is unnecessary.â Seeing the situation, Chloe grabbed Ethanâs arm.âI feel dizzy and nauseous. Brother, take me to the. hospital.â
Alice smirked.âTrying to run? Not a chance!â
âAlice, donât even think about running away!!â Ethan roared. He was determined to make Alice pay. Chloe felt triumphant; Alice would be arrested and have a criminal record. She would never surpass Chloe again. Chloe feigned sadness. Alice, I would have forgiven you if youâd apologized...â
âChloe, youâre too kind...â
