Chapter 310 Alice and Mary arrived at Pear Orchard. With Mary by her side, Alice slipped in wither a bitch. Probably because Finn and Chloe had been turned away last time, theyâd arranged this dinner here.
Mary walked slowly, apologizing, âI need to use the restroom first.â
Alice noticed the damp floor, freshly mopped. She offered, I go with youâ As they entered, Alice waited outside the sinks, but the next second, Chloe emerged from a mall. She was wearing a formâfitting white evening gown, looking like a proud peace âAlice, youâre actually here? You donât have a membership. Are you using your boyfriend to mooch off of Mr. Yatesâs membership again?â
Chloe, in her high heels, tilted her chin, ostentatiously displaying a large diamond ring âSee this, Alice? Fifth Brother bought it for me â over a million dollars! Your boyfriend probably donât make a million in a year.â
Chloe was practically beaming. Iâve told you before, donât go for some broke boyfriend. What good is being devoted and loyal?â
Alice retorted, âIâll admit, I canât compete with you. You just got dumped by Garrett Yates, your dreams of marrying into the elite shattered, and then you immediately latched onto my Fifth Brother like puppy. Youâve always been loyal money, havenât you?â
Î Alice eyed Chloeâs outfit. âBut Fifth Brotherâs been way more generous than Garrett Yates. You slept with Garrett Yates a bunch of times, and he didnât even buy you a dress this fancy ou have good taste. This is a piece by a famous designer, customâmade. Fifth Brother put a lot of thought into it. Itâs my engagement gift oneâofâaâkind in the worldâ
Chloe practically dripped with smugness. Too bad thereâs only one, so Fifth Brother gave it to me. Are you going to throw another fit, saying Fifth Brother is unfair? You practically forced him to admit he caused Fifth Brotherâs leg injury. He practically hates you now. Alice watched Chloeâs selfâsatisfied expression.âDid you forget I still have the video that could ruin you forever?â
Chloeâs face instantly fell. Iâve already explained things to Fifth Brother. He doesnât care.
âOh really? Then Iâll let Fifth Brother enjoy it.â
âYou dare! You made a deal with Big Brother â you wouldnât expose the video in exchange for the foundation. If you break that deal, you wonât get a penny of whatâs left of your parents inheritance!â
Chloe fled, her back betraying her hurried escape.
Alice smirked. Even a white lotus was afraid.
Her phone buzzed with a message from Mary: [My stomach isnât feeling well. Go ahead, Iâll be there later.1 Alice glanced at the restroom stalls. Mary must have heard her conversation with Chloe. She didnât bother explaining.
Alice went straight to the private dining room. Pushing open the door, she saw Chloe standing next to Finn, whispering and sniffling. The atmosphere changed the moment she appeared.
Chapter 310 Chloe said pathetically, âFifth Brother, donât blame Sister Alice. Thereâs only one of this dress, so have it, and she doesnât, thatâs why sheâs upset.â
Finn pointed at Alice. âChloe is your future sisterâinâlaw! Weâre getting engaged; itâs natural for her to dress nicely. Why are you so jealous of everything?â
Alice scoffed.âWhatâs there to be jealous of? Ever since Chloe came to the Windham family, hasnât she gotten first dibs on everything good?â
âShe deserves it. Her father did a lot for our family. If it werenât for him, you would have died in that car accident. You wouldnât be here enjoying the life of a young miss,â Finn was furious.âI demand you apologize to your future sisterâinâlaw right now! Donât talk to her like that, and donât make her upset!â
âFifth Brother, let it go. Iâm wearing such a beautiful dress, and you bought me this expensive ring, I already got the better end of the deal.â
Chloeâs tone was laced with smugness. âMaybe your boyfriend canât afford such an expensive ring, thatâs why sheâs so angry.â
Alice pulled out a chair and sat down. âFifth Brother, I suddenly remembered something I need to show you...
Chloeâs face changed, and she quickly interrupted, turning to Finn, Fifth Brother, why arenât Big Brother and Sixth Brother here yet?â
âYeah, why are they late?â
As Finn finished, the door opened, and Ethan and Luke walked in.
Finn was displeased. âBig Brother, I have to tell you something. Alice is incredibly jealous. Just because Chloe is wearing a limited edition dress and she isnât, sheâs lashing out.â
Ethan looked tired.âWhat dress?â
Chloe smirked.âThe one Iâm wearing, Big Brother. You gave it to me as an engagement gift, but Sister Alice seems unhappy.â
Ethan finally noticed the dress and his face changed. âWhy are you wearing that dress?â
Chloe was stunned.âDidnât you give it to me as a gift, Big Brother?â
âWho told you to wear it? Take it off! When did I say it was a gift for you!
Ethan Was angry.âChloe, who gave you permission to touch my dress?â Chloe looked innocent.âBig Brother, I didnât...â
Finn intervened.âBig Brother, itâs just a dress, why are you making such a fuss?â
This dress was customâmade for the Parker familyâs young miss.â
Ethan glared at Chloe angrily. Take that dress off, right now!â
Chloe was reluctant; she loved the dress.
Finn quickly said, âBig Brother, I was thinking about what to get Chloe, and then I saw the butler bringing this dress back. I thought it suited her perfectly, and she liked it, so I just gave it to her.â Ethan tugged at his tie.âOld Fifth, if you want to give a gift, donât use my things.â âBig Brother, youâre too stingy. What kind of dresses hasnât the Parker familyâs young miss worn? Besides, I heard sheâs crippled; she wouldnât look good in such a beautiful dress. It would be a hapter 310 waste.â
Finn acted nonchalant. He took Chloeâs hand.âChloe looks best in this dress. Sheâll stun everyone. at the engagement ceremony.â
Chloe glanced at Ethan, and pretended to be understanding. âFifth Brother, letâs forget it. Itâs Big Brotherâs gift for his girlfriend. It wouldnât be be right for Chloe was furious. Finn, this useless fool, couldnât even buy a designer dress, so he stole what âEthan prepared for the Parker familyâs young miss.
âWear it with confidence. Big Brotherâs not that petty. After all, your father did a lot for the Windham family, Big Brother wonât blame you.â
This made Ethanâs face turn green, but he couldnât argue.
Chloe thought for a moment and volunteered, âBig Brother, I canât change now. Let me wear it today. Iâll be careful not to get it dirty, and Iâll change out of it when I get home. It wonât delay your gift to the Parker familyâs young miss.â
Ethanâs expression softened.âMm, Iâll buy you another dress to make up for it.â
Chloe nodded obediently, but a plan formed in her mind.
Alice frowned.âBig Brother, isnât it inappropriate to give a dress someone else has already worn?â
If she didnât know the Parker familyâs young miss, she wouldnât interfere. But thinking of Mary wearing a dress that the white lotus had worn, Alice felt uncomfortable.
âSister Alice, weâre all family here. As long as we donât say anything, how would the Parker familyâs young miss know? Unless you want to frame Big Brother?â
Chloe held a glass of poured red wine, walking towards Alice.âSo much has happened recently, letâs have a drink and make amends.â
Aliceâs expression was impatient. âWho wants to drink with you?â
* As soon as she finished speaking, Chloe, like a startled rabbit, spilled red wine all over the white, dress.
Chloe cried, eyes red and pitiful.âSister Alice, why did you have to ruin this dress? Iâm so sorry...
