Chapter 235 Alice looked at Blake, her eyes filled with scornâDonât bother explaining, I regret washing, years it almost cost me my life.â She regretted her past devotion to her brothers, they didnât deserve it Blake looked devastated, as if slapped across the face. He stammered, âL. 1 misunderstood. I thought you abandoned me, so 1 bullied you for years. It was all because of that awful woman, Chloe...â
âWas it only because of her? Did you ever trust me?â Aliceâs gaze was steady. If theyâd trusted her, they wouldnât have believed Chloe, an outsider. But theyâd all fallen for Chloeâs lies. Such siblings werenât worth having Blake panicked, âNo, I know youâre angry, but Iâll make Chloe apologize? He was torn between shame and anger. Heâd never been so humiliated, his voice trembled.
He slapped Chloe, his voice icy.âI told you what would happen if you lied again. Youâre incredibly bold, deceiving me for so long!â
He wanted to kill her.
Chloeâs face swelled; she looked at Ethan for help.âBrother, save me! I was scared and made a mistake. But I did go back to save Four!â She was terrified, Blake was a madman. Ethan pulled Chloe to his side, scolding Blake.âWhat are you doing? Chloe was young then, itâs understandable that she made a mistakeâ
âBrother, youâre protecting her?â Blake was furious.
Ethanâs voice was uneasy. âI forgot to tell you that Alice saved you. Blame me if you must.â He hadnât realized forgetting such a small detail would result in years of resentment. Blakeâs eyes were red with anger.âBrother, is that just a small thing to you? Because of that misunderstanding, heâd targeted Alice, even attacking her! He hated her! Now he learned it was all a lie; Alice hadnât abandoned himâsheâd saved him! What about everything heâd done? Heâd become a laughingstock!
Blake couldnât look at Alice, overwhelmed with guilt. Ethan looked at Chloe uneasily. âYouâre also- at fault. Why didnât you tell the truth?â
Chloe apologized profusely.âIâm sorry, Brother, Four. Itâs my fault. I was scared and new to the family; I didnât dare speak up.â
âFour, Chloe apologized. Donât hold a grudge. Donât hurt her; itâll make things worse for you.â Blake was dejected.âThis all happened because of that misunderstanding.â He wouldnât have targeted Alice or attacked her otherwise.
Blake looked at Alice.âIâll confess. Iâm sorry. Iâll take responsibility.â
Alice remained silent. She hadnât expected this sudden change in Blakeâs attitude. In her previous life, sheâd died without knowing the truth. Chloe, that venomous flower, had manipulated everyone.
Alice said, âTell the police who showed you that video, who instigated you to attack me. Donât let them get away.â
Blake sighed.âI know.â
Chloeâs face paled.âFour, I didnât show you any video. The police checked; nothing was on my phone.â Even if Blake knew, without proof, she was safe. It was Blakeâs hatred for Alice that had brought this about.
