Chapter 334 Alice looked at Ethan with biting sarcasm. Ethanâs eyes flickered with guilt.âI know youâre upset, but Iâll compensate you.â
âI donât want your compensation. You want me to grovel so you can benefit? Is that how easy it is?â Alice shoved him away and left.
Lana Parker chimed in,âThose people were saying Alice cut ties with the family, but now that sheâs useful, suddenly suddenly sheâs family sheâs family again. Do they think everyoneâs stupid?â Ethanâs face darkened. By the time he turned around, Mrs. Garcia and Max were gone Alice had ruined his opportunity.

Chloe spoke cautiously, âBrother, try to reconcile Alice with the Mos. Itâll look bad if it escalates.â Ethan glared at Chloe.âWere you involved in this?â
âBrother, what are you saying? I didnât know; it was that girl.â Chloe denied. any involvement. Ethan already suspected the truth.
His tone was sharp.âMary and Alice are close. Donât try any more tricks.â
âBrother, why are you blaming Chloe? Alice has a bad temper; everyone dislikes her,â Finn defended Chloe, taking her hand.
Chloe pulled away.âFifth Brother, our relationship isnât public yet. Letâs be careful. This is important to Brother.â The Yates would be here tonight, possibly Garrett Yates, and Chloe didnât want Garrett Yates to know about her and Finn.
Ethan nodded.âRight.
Binn released her Fifth hand.âChloe, Brother, be careful.
come with me to greet everyone.
Tell me if Alice bullies you.â
âI will. Go ahead.â Chloe was relieved; she could finally meet Garrett Yates. Finn was clingy, and she hadnât had time to see Garrett Yates. She needed to keep things fresh with Garrett Yates.
Chloe texted Garrett Yates.
After Ethan and Finn left, Ethan sighed.âFifth Brother, can you be nicer to Alice?â âBrother, Alice made Chloe suffer. Why should I be nice to her? Before, she was so obedient. Now, sheâs like this. I wish she had died in that car accident.â
âShut up! Alice is our sister. Bad rumors will hurt the Windham family.â Ethan realized he needed to mend fences with Alice. Her close relationship with Mary was too valuable to ignore. Finn didnât respond; he didnât care about Alice. He had Chloe now. A girl like Alice wasnât a threat.
But Ethan felt something was wrong, though he couldnât pinpoint it.
Meanwhile, Alice and Lana Parker circulated, grabbing snacks.
Lana Parker laughed.âThose peopleâs faces turned green when the video played.â Yeah, thanks to your quick thinking.â Alice had noticed something off, but she pretended not to see Lana Parker subtly take out her phone. She knew Max would make a move.
This was their chance for a decisive win.
Alice said, âEveryone saw through it. The Mos will be the laughingstock again.â Maxâs reputation for stupidity would only increase.

Chapter 334 Menu Lana Parker grinned.âServes them right! They kept bragging about their âtop socialiteâ sister, even though the Wilson family didnât acknowledge it. And they called you a homewrecker? Shameless!â
Alice said, âOkay, we have more important things to do.â
âI know. Iâve been watching Chloe. Sheâs heading towards the entrance; the Yates are probably here.â
âAliceâs eyes turned cold. They had a readyâmade weapon; they couldnât pass this up.
Soon, the party began. Alice and Lana Parker watched Mary, looking like a princess, walk out. She looked perfectly composed.
The dress was a good fit, but needed some improvements for comfort.
âAlice, youâre here too,â Mrs. Wilson said, noticing Aliceâs familiar dress. Alice felt a pang of awkwardness; the dress was a gift from Jack.
Mrs. Wilson simply smiled.âAre you alone? I heard the Windhams are here to announce their engagement to the Parkers.â
Alice pursed her lips.âItâs not exactly good news.â
âMiss Windham, whatâs wrong with the Parkers? This marriage is beneficial to your family.â
Julia arrived, acting as if nothing had happened.
Alice glared at her.âYour sister falsely accused me of theft, and now you pretend nothing happened? I admire the Mosâ audacity.â
Mrs. Wilson was surprised.âYour sister is really inappropriate.â
Aunt Wilson, I just found out. It was Maxâs friend. Iâll scold her later,â Julia said, her eyes turning old.âThe Parkers chose the Windhams after such a long search. Unexpected.â This would elevate the Windhams.
Mrs. Wilson smiled.âGood. Alice, youâll stay in California. Weâll be friends. Let me know if need anything.â
Juliaâs expression softened.
you Alice said helplessly, âAunt Wilson...â
âDonât be so formal. I need to greet some friends. Weâll chat later.â Mrs. Wilson patted Aliceâs hand and left.
Alice watched her go, hearing Juliaâs voice.âAunt Wilson is being nice to prevent you from being with Jack. Donât get the wrong idea.*
Alice turned.âAre you jealous?â Seeing the top socialiteâs breakdown felt good. Alice watched Mary on stage, worried. Mrs.
Parker spoke, then looked at Ethan.âLet me introduce... Mr. Windham, Maryâs fiancé...â
âWeâre just good friends,â Mary interrupted, looking at Ethan.âMr. Windham and I are just friends.â
Ethanâs triumphant expression vanished, replaced by furious anger. Did he really think he could get away with it?
