Chapter 317: Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Ethan also wondered who was backing Alice besides Andrew Yates.

Mrs. Parker looked at Ethan; he seemed genuinely unaware. She felt pleased. Alice hadn’t bount about Jack to the Windham family. The conflict between Alice and her family was greater than she’d thought; this was good; Ethan wouldn’t favor Alice.

Ethan said tentatively, “Mrs. Parker?”

Andrew Yates approached. “Aunt, your questions were pointed. Were you displeased with mex Andrew Yates knew who’d arranged the reporter. He needed to gauge the situation targeting Alice or him?

– was it Mrs. Parker’s smile became genuine “Many suspected Alice was using someone to get that position. Now, everyone believes she’s capable. But she still suspected something was amiss Alice had probably known the questions beforehand. Her nephew was probably involved, he and Jack were extremely close.

Andrew Yates looked at Mary.“Aunt, don’t bring Mary out. Think carefully about her fiancé’s character. Announcing it this early is bad for her reputation.”

Mary smiled politely. “Brother, I’m fine.” People in her circle were kind to her because of her disability.

Ethan felt uncomfortable.“Mr. Yates, if you have an issue with me, just say it Andrew Yates answered directly.“Good.”

Ethan’s face changed, but Chloe said, “Mr. Yates, I know you’ve been displeased with my brothe because of Sister Alice. But family conflicts aren’t one–sided. Alice must have done wrong things too.”

Ethan realized, “Mr. Yates, if you’re displeased with me because of Alice, I have nothing to say “I’ve met Miss Windham several times. Family matters aren’t a big deal.” Mrs. Parker sided with Ethan. Mary said nothing.

Andrew Yates disliked the Windham family even more. “Mary’s birthday is coming up. Let’s celebrate grandly.”

Mrs. Parker agreed. “Let’s make it a big event; the Windham family should attend Ethan’s eyes lit up. Were they going to publicly announce his relationship with Mary? The Al project with Mrs. Parker was a success.

Mrs. Parker left. Ethan was happy. With the Parker family’s acknowledgement, he could dimb the social ladder.

Chloe was excited.“Big Brother, we need to prepare for the Parker family’s banquet. The Windham family would finally enter high society. Her opportunity had arrived.

Ethan nodded.“We need to prepare well; we can’t embarrass the Windham family.

Chloe thought, “What about Alice? She’ll cause trouble.”

Finn agreed. “Whenever Alice is around, things go wrong. Let’s prevent her from going.” Chloe agreed; Alice would steal the spotlight. Without Alice, she would be the only daughter.

Ethan glanced at Alice, surrounded by people. He sneered. She said she doesn’t need the Windham family.” Alice couldn’t ruin the banquet.

Chloe was delighted.“Big Brother, I need a beautiful dress.”

Finn held Chloe’s hand. “Big Brother, now that our biggest problem is solved, I want to get. engaged to Chloe soon.”

Chloe’s smile froze. “Fifth Brother, no need to rush. Big Brother still has much to do.” She didn’t want to marry Finn.

Ethan agreed with Finn, suggesting they discuss it after the Parker family’s banquet. Chloe was Murious.

Alice felt an uncomfortable gaze. She looked up and saw the Windham family, meeting Chloe’s hateful eyes. Alice smirked, making Chloe’s face pale. Alice knew Chloe had introduced PZ to Ethan; she needed to investigate. She looked forward to seeing Ethan’s reaction. That day, the Windham family would collapse.

After the exchange, Alice didn’t see Jack; she wondered about his grandmother. On the way back to school, Alice called Li Man.“Any news on the 45 shop?” “The mechanic is experienced and well–liked. He’s been working normally, nothing unusual.”

Alice thought about Chloe’s recent actions. “Check for connections between PZ and Chloe.” There must be something.

Before hanging up, she asked, “How’s Grandma Wilson?”

“She’s still in critical condition.”

Alice looked out the window; that’s why Jack hadn’t come.

Back in the dorm, Mary’s eyes were red.“I told my aunt I want to break up with Ethan, but she disagreed.”

“Why?”

“She’s in charge now. My stepmother, brother, and I have to obey her. Mary looked helpless. Her aunt chose Ethan for business reasons.

Alice looked at Mary.“Do you want to be independent?” She’d heard about Mary’s birthday party, inviting the Windham family, to make their relationship public.

Mary nodded firmly.“Yes.”

“Be confident. Look at me; I’m independent from the Windham family. Plan your birthday party well.”

Alice had her own reasons for helping Mary; the Parker family was a major media player. If Mary gained independence, investigating the Garcia family would be easier.

A week later, at Mary’s birthday banquet. Before leaving the dorm, Alice received a large gift box with по designer label. It was from Jack; he’d been sending gifts daily.

Mary opened the box.“Jack bought this dress! Chloe wanted it, and your brother even asked me to get it. The white lotus will be furious.”

Lana Parker asked, “Alice, will you wear it?”

“Yes.” It would infuriate Chloe. This banquet was crucial for Alice.

Ethan. Her expression turned cold.“Alice, Mary’s birthday is today. The family is invited. If sister my Alice’s phone rang Windham you want to be again, come.”
