Chapter 241: Chapter 247

Chapter 247 Alice found Ethan’s expression laughable. A lesson?

“You could’ve given Chloe other compensation. Why the Love & Hope Foundation? It was Mom and Dad’s: why give it to an outsider?” Alice demanded coldly.

“Chloe’s father died saving Mom and Dad. She’s been obedient and suffered a lot; this is fitting compensation, Ethan replied.

Alice scoffed. “Are you Sure Chloe’s father died saving Mom and Dad?” “Of course! I investigated countless times. You’re just avoiding repaying her debt. Is this a game?”

Ethan enjoyed Alice’s anger; she’d been too smug lately, causing the Windham family significant setbacks. Six’s investment had failed, resulting in massive losses; Four might face a similar fate. Ethan wouldn’t let his plans crumble.

Alice gritted her teeth.“So, it was intentional?”

“Yes. So what? You want to cut ties with the Windhams. The Windham family’s assets are none of your concern.” Ethan didn’t believe he couldn’t control Alice.“If you continue this, if you pursue charges against Four, I’ll give everything Mom and Dad left to Chloe. It’s what we owe her.”

“You dare!” Alice was furious. Was Ethan insane?

Ethan smirked.“I dare. You don’t care about the Windham family’s interests; why should I care about yours? You left home; Chloe is Mom and Dad’s daughter, and she should inherit everything.”

eyes “Mom and Dad left those things to me! You have no right to give them to Chloe!” Alice’s burned with anger; it was the same in her past life, but this time, she wouldn’t yield. “It was only a verbal promise; there’s no will. You can’t sue,” Ethan said.“Did you think we’d beg you after you left? Impossible!”

He hung up. Alice trembled with rage; she’d underestimated Ethan’s ruthlessness. He was using this to force her submission. If Chloe was doing well, the person behind her wouldn’t emerge. She needed a plan; she wouldn’t let Chloe take her parents‘

inheritance or let the killer get away. Alice went to class, class, her mind racing. She needed to consult her lawyer. She barely paid attention in class. Afterward, she went to the gaming base. But she found Max and a beautiful woman there. Alice remembered seeing this woman at the hospital; she seemed, to know Jack and his friends.

Max pointed at the woman.“Sister, she’s here.”

Julia Garcia extended her hand.“Hello again. I’m Max’s sister.”

Alice was surprised. “It’s a coincidence.”

“I heard about the misunderstanding between you and my sister. I’m here to talk. You know Jack; we’re practically friends.”

Alice didn’t consider herself friends with Max. The conflict with Max is resolved,” she replied. politely.

The Garcias weren’t targeting her anymore; she hadn’t released the bullying videos. But Alice didn’t believe the Mos were here to reconcile.

Julia Garcia smiled. “Max impulsively canceled the sponsorship without consulting the family. I’m here to discuss it The Mos have sponsored you for years; we can’t just cancel it.” Thank you, but we’ve found a sponsor,” Alice refused.

Max interjected, Alice, my sister is giving you face: don’t be arrogant.” Julia Garcia stopped her. “Max.

“Sister, you’re already being lenient, and she’s still being difficult, Max said angrily Alice said politely, “Let’s talk about sponsorship another time.”

Julia Garcia watched Alice play games.“She’s skilled. She recalled Jack’s gaming prowes; the accident had likely forced his retirement.

“Sister, why are you here Max asked, admiring her sister and wanting to be like her.

Julia Garcia’s tone was meaningful.“Curiosity. Why did you clash with her at the start of the semester?” Did Alice know Jack’s identity and deliberately target. her sister? “Sister, she’s arrogant; she looked down on our business school. So I taught her a lesson. I heard she was with the school doctor in high school; they’re still together. Her private life is messy.”

“She dated the school doctor in high school?*

Yes. Don’t be nice to her,” Max said.

This was good news for Julia Garcia. Jack likely hadn’t revealed his identity to Alice; he might be cautious. She had to tell Mrs.

Yates. If Jack was with a girl with a bad reputation, it would reflect badly on Mrs. Yates.

Max whispered, “Sister, Daniel said your engagement to the Yates family is false. Why didn’t issue a statement? I’m being ridiculed.”

you Julia Garcia’s smile faded. No need to defend myself. Daniel doesn’t speak for his brother.”

“But I saw saw Jack leaving a bar with woman. Does he have someone else?”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Julia Garcia said, concealing Alice’s existence. She realized why the Mos had been facing problems lately.

Jack was helping Alice after Max had targeted her. Julia Garcia felt a chill but still had a chance. Jack hadn’t revealed his identity; he was likely just playing around. She was the one worthy of Jack.

of The Mos left. Alice breathed a sigh sigh of relief.

relief. What were they planning?

She received a reply from Lawyer Henry: they needed someone to testify about the will–preferably one of her brothers. Alice hesitated before calling Noah. Ethan answered.“Alice, you’re calling? You want Noah to testify? Impossible!”
