Chapter 146 Alice stood by the laptop, her gaze cold and mocking âSee? This is the evidence you wanted.â For years, sheâd been framed by Chloe, never having concrete proof. Her brothers had stopped believing her. This moment of revenge felt sweet.
Noaly watched the video, especially the part where Chloe sprayed Alice. His mind was reeling, He turned to Chloe, his voice tight.âChloe, the evidence is right here. What do you have to say? He couldnât believe Chloe had actually attacked Alice.
Was pale. Impossible!
Chloeâs face Impossible! How did Alice recover She stammered, âNoah, L... I was forced by Max.
âYou the footage?
I still want to lie!â Noah slapped her hard.âI gave you a chance, but you didnât tell the truth.â Sheâd only confessed after Alice presented the video, proving sheâd lied before.
Chloe was terrified. She couldnât lose the Lu brothersâ trust. She fell to her knees. I... I was scared. I couldnât offend Max! I had to do what she said!â
âChloe, I donât know what to believe anymore!â Noah realized Chloe was deceitful. Were all her accusations against Alice lies?
Had Alice been falsely accused all these years? He felt a crushing weight of guilt. What had his sister endured?
Chloe begged, âNoah, I was forced! Max is ruthless. Sheâs being investigated for bullying a girl to death. I was afraid sheâd bully me!â
âYou were afraid of Max bullying you, so you let her bully Alice?â Noah yelled.âSince you came to live with us, have we ever mistreated you? Alice has everything, and so do you! Why did you do this?â
Chloe clung to his leg, âI was forced! Please believe me!â
âGet away from me!â Noah kicked her away.âDonât call me brother. You donât deserve it!â Alice clapped, delighted. This was satisfying. Sheâd waited a long time for this. Noah felt guilty.âAlice, Iâm so sorry. I was wrong.
Alice found his apology ironic. Her tone was cold.âI donât accept your apology.â
âI know youâve suffered. I donât ask for forgiveness, only a chance to make amends.â
Jack interrupted coldly, âAliceâs life is ten times better since she left the Windhams. You want her back to suffer? Donât be ridiculous!â
âNo, if she comes back...â
Alice smiled coldly, handing Noah a USB drive. Enjoy this. Iâm going to the police station. I wonât let anyone who hurt me get away with it.â Exposing Chloe wasnât about returning to the Windham family.
Noah felt the weight of the USB drive. Chloe knelt before Alice, pleading, âAlice, please forgive me! Max forced me!â
âDo you think Iâm stupid? An apology doesnât erase everything?â Alice looked down at her, enjoying this rare sight of the white lotus kneeling. In her past life, sheâd also knelt before them before being cast out.
âWhat do you want me to do? Anything, just forgive me!â
Alice tilted Chloeâs chin. âIâm going to report you to the police. Get ready for jail.â She wouldnât let Chapter Chloe off.
Alice left, leaving Chloe scrambling after Noah. âNoah, I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me! I was forced by Max!â
1 âForgive you? I gave you a chance, but you blew it!â Noah put the USB drive in his pocket.âIâll show this to Ethan. Everyone needs to know.â
Chloe panicked. Alice had recovered the video, catching her off guard. If the other brothers knew, she was finished. Without her adopted daughter status, she had nothing. She wished Noah would get into a car accident and die, preventing the USB drive from reaching Ethan.
She rushed after him.âNoah, you said youâd treat me like a sister. I made a mistake! You canât forgive me? Iâm not blood related!â
Noah, leaning on his car, was breathless. He stared coldly at Chloe.âDid you only hurt Alice.
once?â
Chloe hesitated, then insisted, âYes, Max forced me. Iâm victim too!
âChloe, youâre hopeless!â Noah was disappointed and angry. The girl heâd treated like a sister was a viper.
As he was about to get in the car, he felt dizzy and collapsed.
Chloe approached cautiously. Seeing him unconscious, she smiled. She grabbed the USB drive. But Alice had a copy; if it reached the police, Ethan would know.
She had to destroy it! She dialed a number. I need your help!â
