Chapter 250 Blake was surprised Alice cared so much about her parentsâ inheritance. Heâd thought Ethanâs tactic wouldnât work; Alice had cut ties with the Windhams. But she did care.
âYou let Mom and Dadâs inheritance fall into an outsiderâs hands? Using it to blackmail me?â Alice asked, her voice cold.
Blake looked guilty.âIf youâd reconciled with me earlier, none of this wouldâve happened.â âYou havenât changed a bit,â Alice said, remembering her past life. Even Noah and Blake, knowing Chloeâs true nature, remained silent when Ethan gave Mom and Dadâs inheritance to Chloe. Alice looked at Blake with disappointment. âYouâre the ones who wronged Mom and Dad.â Blake avoided her gaze, kicking a trash can after she left. He grabbed Chloe. Chloe screamed. âWhat are you doing?â
âYou heard her. You have no right to the foundation or any of the inheritance.â Chloe glared at him.âLet go! Or Iâll tell the media you assaulted your sister! Youâll never recover!â âChloe, you dare talk back?â
Iâm not wrong! Youâre cowardly; you suspected Alice abandoned you, and I just played along. Now you blame me for everything!â
Chloeâs voice was low and rapid. âYou were never good to Alice; now you pretend to care. Arenât you hypocritical?â
This enraged Blake. He grabbed Chloeâs throat. âWho told you to talk? Iâll kill you!â
âYouâre exposed,â Chloe said, defiant. Blakeâs face was ruined; his career was over; she didnât need to please him.
Ethan appeared, pulling Blake away. Chloe gasped for air, showing the Daniels on her neck. âFour, I didnât want to give up the foundation; it was Brotherâs decision.â
Ethan was furious. âFour, youâre disappointing me.â
âBrother, Chloeâs malicious. Donât be fooled!â
âI know Chloe better than you. Touch her again, and Iâll send you to prison,â Ethan said, leaving with Chloe.
Blake was furious. His manager approached.âDonât fight Ethan. Once this is over, you can deal with Chloe.â
Blake knew he had no choice. But he couldnât understand Ethanâs protection of Chloe. Heâd only been nice to Chloe because he was making things difficult for Alice. He wasnât stupid; he wouldnât favor a driverâs daughter over his sister without reason. But Ethan seemed bewitched by Chloe.
Alice received a call from Noah after leaving the hospital.
âAlice, Iâll testify about the will.â
âThis will anger some people. Are you sure?â
âIâm not sure how long I have. Brother canât do anything to me.â
Alice knew about Noahâs illness.âHave surgery first. Sue afterward.â âAlice, donât worry about me.â
3729 âIâm not. I need evidence; itâs not as simple as going to court,â Alice said, needing to catch Chloe manipulating the foundationâs accounts before suing âWhat about Four?â Noah asked.
Aliceâs tone was sarcastic. âHe canât handle Chloe, so heâs trying to convince me? Good luck with that,â she said, hanging up.
She needed to prepare for the press conference. She called the PR team, scheduling it for tomorrow.
Back at the dorm, Alice told Alice, âI wonât be at the base tomorrow.â
âOkay. Whatâs up? A date?â
âA press conference. Iâm going public; the Windhams wonât stop harassing me. Her hospital visit made her realize the urgency.
âYour brotherâs awful! Youâre the victim, yet he gave Mom and Dadâs inheritance to Chloe to protect Four! Thatâs disgusting!â
Alice smirked.âTheyâve always been like this.â They always forced her to yield after making mistakes.
Alice and Alice were going to the cafeteria when Alice asked their roommate, âWant to join us? Or should we bring you something back?â
The roommate shook her head.âNo, someone will bring me food.â
After they left, the roommate texted someone after overhearing their conversation.
The next day, Alice met the PR team at TG Corp, impressed by the scale of the Yates familyâs business.
Meeting Alice, they left the building. Mrs. Yates emerged from the elevator, her expression tense.âWhy is she at TG Corp? Check it out.â
Her assistant called back, Aliceâs holding a press conference. Sheâs exposing something. Many reporters are there.â
âSheâs announcing her relationship with my son? We need to stop this,â Mrs. Yates said urgently. The situation with the Mos was already tense; she didnât want more problems.
Chue.
Alice arrived at the press conference Many reporters were present. She was about to expose everythingâincluding the fact that sheâd written the scripts for Fourâs current and. upcoming movies. She sat on stage, feeling nervous.
Alice whispered, âIf you get stuck, use the speech. Iâll signal if thereâs a problem.â
âOkay,â Alice replied.
Holding the microphone, she noticed the reporters rising and leaving. What was happening? They were all leaving?
This chapter builds suspense and anticipation for the press conference, maintaining the consistent Americanized setting and informal tone. The focus on Aliceâs strategic planning and the introduction of new potential conflicts keep the reader engaged.
