Chapter 248: Chapter 254

Chapter 254 down Chloe Alice’s voice dripped with sarcasm. She hadn’t expected Chloe to move so quickly. It seems Big Brother thinks you’re expendable, a liability to the company. He’s cutting you loose to put in your place. Even without my livestream, you’d still face legal repercussions.” That was Ethan’s true motive. He’d invested heavily in the entertainment industry and wouldn’t want it all to go the drain. This division of assets meant he was abandoning Caleb.

Caleb was unraveling.“You’re right. I’ve fallen so low, it’s worse than prison. Are you satisfied?* He hadn’t expected to be cast aside by his own brother. He never imagined that Chloe, a chauffeur’s daughter, would, under Ethan’s protection, not only take everything from Alice but also from him!

Alice laughed, her voice cold/Very satisfied.” Making them experience what she’d endured was the ultimate satisfaction.

“Alice, you need to cooperate. Otherwise, once Chloe gets your assets, it’ll be too late.”

“Ha! Worried now? When Chloe took everything from me, you stood by and told me to be magnanimous. Now that she’s taking your company, you’re suddenly upset?” Alice’s words were like knives, piercing Caleb’s heart.

Caleb was speechless for a long time, finally murmuring weakly, “Experiencing what you went through, I understand your past suffering.”

“Serves you right!” Alice interrupted.

Caleb finally broke down.”Alice, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I was selfish and arrogant. It’s all my fault.” His voice was choked with sobs, filled with remorse.

Alice chuckled lightly.“You should go cry to Big Brother. He might soften up. After all, you’re family. She hung up.

But Alice wasn’t at peace. She’d had the PR team investigate Chloe’s father, but found nothing. A grown man, vanished without a trace. After her hacking incident, Chloe was certainly on guard, deleting any evidence. If it weren’t for a photo accidentally captured by the PR team, Alice. would’ve thought she’d hallucinated, mistaken the person. But she was sure she wasn’t wrong.

With Ethan giving Chloe so many resources, the person behind it all would never show their face.

Alice’s mind was racing. She needed to think. A call came from DouSha. Ms. Windham, your account has been reported and is temporarily suspended pending investigation. It will be restored afterward. Don’t worry.”

get for Alice knew it was the Chens. They were desperate to protect their kept man. Soon, Ethan knocked, clutching bubble tea. Is this all I my hard work?”

“Thanks for today, Ethan. Dinner’s on me later.”

“Fine. I gotta go. Too many fans outside, I can’t even leave.”

Alice noticed a crowd outside the esports club, most likely fans who’d heard Ethan was there. She slipped Ethan out a side door.

Ethan, wearing a cap, called Jackson after leaving.“I overheard it accidentally. My mom and that old White Lotus from the Garcia family are often together. I overheard them talking about it.”

“Why didn’t you say anything sooner?”

Chapter 25 “At the time, they only said it was someone surnamed Lu, from New York, whose parents had passed away, leaving only siblings.

I didn’t think much of it, but seeing the Chens orchestrate the media’s departure, I guessed it was your sister–in–law’s brother.”

He’d seen Ethan’s face change when he’d mentioned it, confirming his suspicion.

Jackson rubbed his temples. This was unexpected.

Ethan said, “Just step in, Brother. But Mom and Grandma seem against you and your sister–in–law. If Grandma’s spoken to the Chens, your influence might not be enough. “Don’t worry about that. Keep an eye on Mom and Grandma.”

go out “Don’t worry, I’m on your and on your and your sister–in–law’s side. Death to arranged marriages! But I can’t earn extra cash while babysitting them, so I’m a little short on funds.” “I’ll increase your credit lint.”

“Thanks, Brother! You’re the best! Mission accepted!” Ethan grinned, already planning a new car.

Alice returned to the dorm, exhausted.

Lana Parker comforted her.“Your brother is so low, using any means to force you to back down, even after you almost died.”

“I have a plan. Don’t worry.”

“I feel so bad for you. You have so many brothers, yet Chloe, a chauffeur’s daughter, took everything.”

“I don’t even feel sad anymore. I can do well on my own. I’m done with this fake family drama.) Alice’s new roommate chimed in, “I disagree. Family is important. No matter what happens, family should stick together.”

Alice glanced at her Lana Parker defended roommate.“Most families are worth it, but some aren’t.”

Alice. You don’t know what Alice’s been through.“– “Let’s not argue.” Alice didn’t want to explain her family issues to strangers.

Those who don’t believe you, never will. She didn’t need anyone’s approval.

Remembering Caleb’s words, she called Noah, but it went straight to voicemail.

The next morning, Alice went to the hospital to see Noah, her strongest witness. But his room was empty. The nurses said he’d been transferred.

Remembering Caleb’s words, had Ethan sent him to Third Brother?

“Alice, I knew you’d come.” Caleb, still in a hospital gown, was wearing a hat and mask.

“Where is he?”

“He’s been transferred. Second Brother argued with Big Brother about the medical records and was forcibly transferred the next day. I don’t know where he is.”

Alice stared at the empty room. Ethan had moved faster than she anticipated. “It looks like Big Brother invested a lot in your company.”

“Yes, but it wasn’t profitable until the script you wrote for me. The recent drama’s huge success, plus the upcoming movie, will bring in a lot of cash.” He looked at her.“There’s a screenwriter’s event tonight. Big Brother and Chloe are going. If you don’t go, Chloe will take all your hard work.”

Aren’t you the same. as them? Playing the good guy now? Alice was unimpressed.

Caleb looked sheepish. I admit I was trying to make things difficult for you. I was a fool played by Chloe. But we have to get back what’s ours!”

Alice looked at him.“I have a condition.” She didn’t trust him.
