Chapter 285 Chloeâs words were a clear implication.
Aliceâs lips curled into a cold smile. So youâre saying I embezzled the foundationâs funds?â âNo, I just wanted to remind you.
Funds shouldnât be moved around carelessly. It could affect the Land familyâs reputation, wouldnât you agree?â
Chloe put on an innocent look, waving her hands.âAlice, if youâre angry, just forget I said anything.â
Alice clicked her tongue.âForget you said anything? You said everything! And youâre pretending again?â
âAlice, Iâm doing this for your own good.â Chloeâs eyes welled up. She looked at Mrs. Wilson. âYour were at the auction. You know how much was raised.â
Mrs. Wilson nodded.âOf course, but what does that have to do with Aliceâs asset verification?â
Chloe hadnât expected Mrs. Wilson to defend Alice so strongly. Didnât she suspect this bitch at all?
Julia Garcia looked at Alice. âAsset verification usually freezes the funds for a few days.â This was to prevent people from borrowing money for verification, getting a membership card, and then transferring the money.
Before Alice could answer, Chloe started crying.âAlice, the foundation needs funds for the event. The money canât be frozen.â
This implied that Aliceâs funds were the charity donations. Julia Garcia had a plan but showed no emotion.âMs. Alice, is a few daysâ freeze a problem Alice answered, âNo problem. The money wasnât charity donations. It was from her livestream. and her share of the Al project profits. The project would soon go public, and her share would only increase.
Chloe grabbed Aliceâs hand.âAlice, donât keep making mistakes. Everyone here is familiar. Just admit it, and no one will laugh.â
Alice pushed Chloe away.âAre you crazy? The money isnât from charity. Iâm not that greedy.â
âAlice, itâs come to this.
money.
Borrow * be stubborn. Mrs. Wilson and Miss Garcia offered to lend Chloe like feigning you. selflessness.
Alice grabbed a nearby glass of glass of water and splashed it on Chloeâs face. Chloe shrieked. âWhat are you doing? Do you know how expensive this dress is?â
Alice clapped her hands. Iâm saving you.â
âSaving me?â
âYes. You were acting like you were possessed. Are you clearâheaded now?â Aliceâs eyes were mocking. âLet me say it one last time. The money isnât from charity. If you have hearing problems, go to the hospital and check your brain, too.â
Chloe was furious. âHow can you have ten million in cash? If itâs not the charity money, what is it?
âDo I need to explain that to you?â Alice ignored her.
Júlia Garcia hadnât expected Alice to be so assertive, especially in front of Mrs. Wilson. She Chapter 205 calmly said, Since Ms. Alice says itâs not charity money, it probably isnât. Donât make false accusations without evidence.â
Chloe didnât have any evidence. She couldnât see the account balance, but she could check tomorrow at the foundation. She wouldnât let Alice off easily.
Julia Garcia knew Chloe was useless, seeing her silence.
The manager handed Alice her card.âMs. Alice, welcome to the club.â
âThank you.â Alice took the card and looked at Mrs. Wilson. âThank you for your endorsement.â Besides status, a sponsor was needed for membership.
Mrs. Wilson smiled.âItâs nothing. Letâs go; Iâll show you around.â
Julia Garcia said, âAuntie Wilson, you should return Ms. Alice to me. We have a planning meeting.â
âOh, right. I almost forgot. Iâll come listen too.â
âIâd appreciate that.â
Julia Garcia linked arms with Mrs. Wilson, discussing various matters with ease. Alice felt like an extra, as Mrs. Wilson and Julia Garcia were practically motherâinâlaw and daughterâinâlaw.
They arrived at a banquet hall. Someone approached Julia Garcia.âWerenât you picking someone up? Who is so important that you had to personally pick them up?â
âMs. Alice was here for the first time, and she didnât have a membership card.â Julia Garcia. introduced Alice.
woman scrutinized Alice. âI heard your charity auction was pathetic.â
âYes, the venue was simple. It looked more like begging than a charity event.â Chloe quickly said, âI was in charge of the event.
Max gave me her previous event plan as a reference, but Alice said it was too luxurious and changed everything.â She shifted all the blame to Alice.
Aliceâs expression cooled.âI donât think charity events need luxury decorations. Itâs wasteful.â Max fumed.âAre you saying my sister wastes money?â
âMax, what are you saying? Ms. Alice didnât mean that, and her ideas werenât wrong.â Julia Garcia was irritated. Her sister was so clumsy; didnât she see Mrs. Wilson was there? This would drag her into the mess!
Mrs. Wilson spoke up for Alice.âI think being frugal with charity events is right. Spending much on appearances is better spent directly helping those in need.â Alice was touched.
Julia Garcia quickly recovered.âMs. Alice, I want to apologize. Our past events were extravagant. Weâll learn from you and make adjustments.â
Mrs. Wilson nodded approvingly.âJulia, thatâs the right attitude.â
âAuntie Wilson, I want to improve and not disappoint anyone.â Alice was impressed by Julia Mrs. No wonder Wilson considered her a suitable daughterâinâlaw.
Garcia. No The incident passed thanks to Mrs. Wilsonâs intervention. Alice was introduced to important guests. Julia Garciaâs heart tightened. Her original plan was to act during the event, but now she couldnât wait Chapter 285 Julia Garcia signaled her people. Several boxes were brought in..
Julia Garcia said, âEveryone, please look at the donations from our foundation. Mostly sanitary napkins. Letâs see which brand is suitable.â
Alice went over and saw various brands of napkins. Someone picked one up and exclaimed, âWhose idea was this? Theyâre all expired!â
Alice recognized the brand; it was the one their foundation had bought. Had Chloe tampered with it?
