-Chapter 314 Alice could see Big Brother was displeased with Chloe. After all, Chloe had offended the Parker familyâs young miss by stealing her dress. Alice hadnât expected Chloe to hand over such a perfect opportunity, and for Mary to witness it all. Sheâd worried Mary would be bullied, but she was unexpectedly strong.
Ethan finally managed to say, âWeâll terminate the adoption soon. Chloe will have nothing to do with the Windham family.â
âBut you havenât terminated it yet! If this gets out, itâll embarrass the Parker family too. People might think Chloe is involved with all of you brothers.â Mary said bluntly. Her status and position meant she wouldnât tolerate being bullied by a white lotus.
Ethan gritted his teeth. âIâll handle it.â
Chloe burst into tears.âBig Brother, Iâve said before that Iâm an adult now. I can move out to avoid gossip.â
Mary scoffed.âYour legs are your own. Whoâs going to stop you from leaving?â Chloe was silenced, bowing her head and crying pitifully.
Finn was heartbroken, muttering curses.âA future sisterâinâlaw who hasnât even married into the family has no right to act so high and mighty.â
âDonât call me sisterâinâlaw. I donât want anything to do with people like you.â Mary left the room.
Ethanâs face changed. He glared at Chloe and Finn.âIâll settle the score with you when I get back!â He chased after Mary.
Alice worried about Mary, but after seeing Maryâs reassuring look, she sat back down. The servers arrived with the food.
Alice, hungry after watching the drama, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Pear , Orchardâs food was indeed excellent.
After Ethan and Mary left, Chloe stopped crying. She worried, âFifth Brother, what do we do? Miss Parker is definitely angry. We canât afford to offend the Parker family.â
âDonât worry, Iâll talk to Big Brother. If he hadnât shirked his responsibility, my leg wouldnât have been amputated. He owes me.â
Finn was defiant. âBesides, that cripple Parker familyâs young miss is lucky to marry my excellent brother. Who else would want her?â
Chloe thought that made sense.
Alice laughed, her eyes mocking. Donât you know Big Brother is the Parker familyâs (sonâinâlaw who moves into the wifeâs family home)?â
âWhat sonâinâlaw? Impossible!
immediately. It was unthinkabg Brother would never be a sonâinâlaw,â Finn denied it Chloe was also surprised.âHow do you know?â
During Fourth Brotherâs incident, I held a press conference, but the Parker family squashed it. Big Brother admitted it himself then.â Alice didnât mention Wilson Garcia. Thinking of Wilson Garcia made her think of Jack, and she was surprised they were brothers. She should have noticed their unusual relationship.
Luke was also shocked.âA sonâinâlaw? Bi how could he accept such humiliation?
Brother agreed to that?â His brother was strongâwilled;
Alice smirked.âThe Windham family is nothing compared to the Parker family. What choice did he have?â
Finn was indignant.âBut Miss Parker is a cripple! What gives her the right?
âYouâre also disabled! Youâre even worse off than Miss Parker,â Alice hated Finn calling Mary a cripple.
This angered Finn.âWhat did you say? Say it again!â
Alice put down her chopsticks.âI said youâre a disabled person in a wheelchair, so what right do you have to call someone else a cripple?â
âAlice, you ungrateful bitch! Youâre siding with an outsider against me, you...â Seeing Finn approach, Alice overturned the table.
The food spilled onto Finn. A whole steamed fish landed on his legs.
Finnâs eyes were hit you?â
red with anger.âAlice, you think youâve grown up and become strong, so I canât Alice kicked over Finnâs wheelchair. He fell into the mess, looking pathetic. She looked down at him.âDonât think I wonât touch you just because youâre disabled.â
âAlice, youâve done this to me. Donât you think Iâll ever forgive you? Finn was furious; he hadnât expected Alice to actually hit him.
Alice raised an eyebrow.âI wouldnât mind.â She didnât care about the Windham family anymore. Finn finally got up, but he couldnât stand steadily on one leg, so he looked at Chloe.
Chloe didnât want to go near him. She was embarrassed. But Ethan already disliked her, and if she didnât hold onto Finn, how would she maintain her position in the Windham family?
Chloe reluctantly went over and handed him a napkin. Fifth Brother, wipe yourself.â
Alice looked at Finn.âYou better figure out how to deal with the Parker family. If you offend them, the Windham family will go bankrupt in minutes. Forget about your engagement; even your daily life will be difficult.â
Finn yelled, âItâs all your fault!â
Alice retorted, âI didnât steal the dress.â
A server walked in. âWhoâs paying?â
Alice smirked, pointing at Finn.âHe is. Someone wanted to celebrate their engagement. âIâll pay.â Finn patted himself down, then said awkwardly, âI forgot my wallet and credit card.â
Chloe was embarrassed. âWhat do we do?â
âI thought Big Brother would be here, we could put it on his tab.â Finn hadnât expected Big Brother to leave without paying. âYou know my brother, Ethan, right? Put it on his account.
Sorry, we donât do accounts.â The server went to Finn.âCash Finnâs face turned red. He looked at Luke.âSixth Brother, lend me some money. Iâll pay you back.â
or card?â
Luke said calmly, âChloe caused my team to disband, and I owe a huge debt. To avoid jail, I have to compensate Maple Leaf Company. Where would I get the money?â
Finn was angry.âThen use your credit card.â
Chapter 314 âMy credit card is maxed out. Since you and Chloe are engaged, let her pay.â Luke wouldnât pay a Cent.
Finn was angry. He looked at Alice.âThen you pay. You ate the most.â
Alice smiled.âThen ask me nicely.â
