Chapter 267 Alice sat in the hall, requesting tea from the butler. She smelled it and rejected it.âMake a new. pot.â
The butler, seething but constrained, returned with a fresh cup. When Alice reached for it, it was too hot; she spilled it on him.âTrying to scald me?â
His eyes flashed with anger, before he quickly apologized. âSorry, Miss Windham. I didnât mean to.
Alice smirked. Sheâd done it on purpose.
Chloe approached.âAlice, the butlerâs old. Just have âIsnât he a servant? If you feel âAlice, youâre clearly making things difficult.â
servant make the tea.
bad for him, make the tea tea yourself.â
Chloe was speechless; she wouldnât do it herself.
Alice sneered.âYes, I donât like him, and Iâm doing this on purpose. Got a problem? Keep it to yourself!â She wouldnât tolerate anything Ð¾Ñ anyone that displeased her.
Chloe looked to Ethan, but he ignored her. She was furious. Shouldnât he be supporting her?
Caleb mocked Chloe.âWant to be a good person? Do the butlerâs job, too.â
Chloe fell silent.
Howâs the planning?
Alice said, âThe charity auction is coming up, right? Howâs Chloe reluctantly replied, âThis weekend.â
âGive me the plan. I need to review it for any necessary changes.â
âItâs starting this weekend; thereâs no time for changes.â
Alice smirked. âIâm the boss. I decide.
I decide. Donât want to be responsible? Quit!â
Chloe looked to Ethan for help.
Alice said, âHeâs useless. The foundation is mine. I decide.â
Ethan coughed.âChloe, donât get involved. Avoid trouble.â
âNo. Iâll see it through.â She wouldnât let the opportunity slip.
Seeing Chloeâs determination, Alice sneered.âSheâs greedy. She wants to steal the charity funds!*
Alice returned to her room. She received a message from Jackson:[âIs the show over?â]
âAlmost. Dealing with an inconsiderate person makes life better.â
Alice started a video call. Look, this is my parentsâ room.â
Jackson saw the pink walls and childlike decorations. His gaze deepened. âYou were your parentsâ princess.â
âOf course.â She felt their love in the room.
They chatted.
Chloeâs voice from came outside. âIâve brought the plan.â
Alice said to Jackson, Iâll hang up.â
Opening the door, she received the documents. âDid you write this?â
âYes, all of it. Big Brother approved it.â
âI see many problems. Changes are needed. Iâll tell you what to do. It must be done tonight!â Chloe gritted her teeth.âOkay.â
Alice pointed out many problems, finally slamming the document onto Chloeâs face. âFix it. Tonight!â
âOkay. Donât lock your door. Iâll come back when itâs done.â
âFine, get out.â
Alice watched her go, thoughtful.
Chloeâs face was grim. The butler entered with milk. âMiss Chloe, we canât wait. We need to act. Otherwise, things will get worse.â
âI know!â Looking at the documents, she said, âI have an idea. I donât know if youâll do it.â
âMiss Chloe?â
âYouâre being sent home tomorrow. Get revenge tonight. Alice will be expecting me; she wonât lock her door.â Her voice was venomous. Pretend to be drunk and enter her room. Do whatever you want.â
The butlerâs eyes. lit up, but he hesitated. I heard Miss Windham is skilled in martial arts.â
âI know. Have a servant give her the milk. Iâll check if she drank it before I deliver the revised plan. She canât fight back.â Sheâd be so relieved. Alice would be ruined.
The butler hesitated. Tâ|| go to prison. What will I do after losing my job?â Iâll give you money. Say you were drunk. Big Brother wonât send you to prison; heâll just fire you.â She looked excitedly at him.âItâs a winâwin. Youâve been single for so long. Sheâs a wealthy. heiress. You wonât regret it.â.
âYouâre right. The butler rubbed his hands together. âMiss Chloe, Iâve always liked you. âI see you as an elder.â Chloeâs eyes flashed with disgust, but her face remained pleasant. âYou said we were equals in the Windham household, that youâd always support me. Still true?â
âOf course. I wonât change like the Windhams. Iâll always protect you.â He grabbed her hand.
Chloe felt disgusted by his white hair. Sheâd once feared being dismissed and had deliberately fostered his infatuation; heâd helped her.
She withdrew her hand. Have a drink, get ready. Iâll ring for you.â
âOkay.â He kissed her hand and left.
Chloe immediately washed her hands. Once she ruined Alice, sheâd never have to see him again. Tonight, Alice would die.
She sent the revised document to the assistant, scolding him, then felt relieved. Hours later, she knocked on Aliceâs door. It wasnât locked. Alice was gaming. âWait till I finish.â
Chloe looked at the empty milk glass. Perfect.
Alice yawned, seemingly tired.âIâll look later. Get out.â
âOkay. Look carefully.â

Chloe, triumphant, rushed out to call the butler. âAliceâs finished!â
âAre you so sure?â
