Chapter 251: Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Alice laughed, enraged by Ethan’s words.

Ive never seen such shameless people,” she said.

Chloe, dripping with saccharine sweetness, said, “While I don’t remember the exact number of revisions, I contributed to the initial concept and plot direction. You can’t just cut me out now!” Alice burst out laughing. Turning to their fellow screenwriters, she said, ‘Did you hear that? Chloe’s ‘contributions‘ were all unusable ideas. She opened her mouth once, and wants her name.

on my script.

The other writers were incensed.

“That’s shameless! Claiming credit without doing the work.”

Tve heard the Windhams treat their real sister badly and favor the adopted one. I see it now.” These writers had penned countless stories featuring innocent flowers; they recognized Chloe’s tactics.

Chloe stammered, “That’s not true! I really participated in the script’s creation.” “If she has proof, she can show her contributions.

No need for this pitiful act.” Chloe couldn’t answer; she had no such evidence. She looked to Ethan for help. Ethan was furious.

He glared at Caleb.“Don’t think bringing Alice changes anything. I’ve decided to let Chloe manage the company. You should rest for a while; let the dust settle.” As the majority shareholder, Ethan had the final say.

A gleam of triumph shone in Chloe’s eyes. “Caleb, don’t worry. I’ll manage it well. If I have any questions, I’ll ask you.”

Alice scoffed.“Caleb’s been running the company. Chloe, who scored zero on the college entrance exam, probably can’t even understand the company’s accounts, let alone manage it.” Ethan felt embarrassed.“Alice, you’re a screenwriter, not a businesswoman. From now on, all your scripts need Chloe’s approval.”

Chloe beamed, more smug than ever. Even as a screenwriter, Alice would be working for her. She leaned towards Alice.“Alice, I know you’re a talented writer, but that’s thanks to the company. Write better scripts, otherwise, we won’t give you the green light.”

Chloe whispered, “No matter how hard you try, you can’t beat me.”

Alice shoved Chloe away.

“Caleb practically begged me to write those scripts. They were quickly filmed because I’m good, not because they gave me the green light. I told you, you know nothing about business.” Caleb stepped forward. “That’s right. I begged Alice to write those scripts. She’s a newcomer, but her talent is undeniable.”

“But without the company, a screenwriter’s script is nothing!” Chloe couldn’t stand Caleb defending Alice.

Alice d you hear that? We screenwriters are nothing.”

That enraged the other writers.

71.2 Chapter 257 Chloe realized her mistake. “That’s not what I meant. I meant Alice, not everyone.” Someone interjected, “Mr. Windham, letting an outsider manage the company–are you trying to hasten its collapse?”

Ethan looked at Chloe, disappointed. This fool! But he still defended her. “I’ll hire professional managers. Chloe will learn from them. The company’s finances will be fine.” “Brother, you’re not the one calling the shots on who’s the CEO.”

Caleb saw Ethan’s stubbornness; he wouldn’t stop feeding Chloe resources. He wouldn’t hold back.

Ethan sneered.“Tm the majority shareholder. My word is law.”

“Not anymore.”

Noah, in a wheelchair, appeared. His face was grim, “My and Caleb’s shares will be transferred to Alice. She’ll be the majority shareholder.”

A gasp went through the room. Ethan’s face fell. He whispered, “What are you doing?” He hadn’t expected them to gang up on him!

Noah said, “Brother, are you sure you want to do this here? The only one losing face is you.” Ethan, fuming, retreated to a private room.

Alice hadn’t expected Noah to show up; hadn’t Ethan Caleb addressed the crowd. “Sorry for the scene, but Alice will her writing skills. I hope we can collaborate in the future.” Chloe, enraged, followed Ethan.

company. You’ve seen Alice, Caleb, and Noah went aside. She looked at Noah, surprised.“How did you get here?”

“Caleb had someone get me out. I came immediately. The company can’t fall into Chloe’s hands.” He knew the company was Caleb’s life’s work, but never imagined Ethan’s favoritism could reach this level.

Caleb chuckled bitterly. “We underestimated Chloe’s scheming.”

Noah looked at Alice, his tone gentle.“Alice, don’t worry. I’ll always support you.” Alice didn’t respond, turning towards the private room. Caleb followed with Noah. In the private room, Alice saw Chloe whispering to Ethan. Ethan glared at her with murderous intent.

Ethan stormed up to Alice.“Alice, I didn’t expect you to be this capable. You stormed out, claiming no relationship with the Windhams. Now you’re back for the inheritance. Shameless!” “You knew the script was mine, yet you wanted to put Chloe’s name on it. Shameless!” Ethan was momentarily speechless. “But Chloe contributed. Why did you publicly humiliate her?”

“Can yo you swear to that? If it’s false, may your company go bankrupt, every project fail, and you lose everything.”

Alice looked at Ethan intently.“Swear? You can’t?”

Ethan didn’t answer, his anger flaring.“Superstition!”

“Even superstition, you won’t swear. You know you’re lying.” He did it to take what was hers, to Chapter 257 force her submission.

Ethan retorted, “Alice, if you hadn’t pushed the family to this “I learned from you.”

Alice laughed. I’m the majority shareholder Ethan went berserk.

now int, I wouldn’t have done this!
