Chapter 342 Alice heard Chloeâs cries; the show was about to begin. Chloe knelt, weeping dramatically, but her swollen face undermined her act.
Ethan, his face grim, said, âChloe, youâve severed ties with the Windhams. Youâre no longer part of this family.â Her actions had disgraced the family, Chloe stared at him, incredulous. She hadnât expected him to actually kick her out! She seethed with hatred but sobbed, âBrother, I didnât expect Garrett Yates to force himself on me. He threatened to expose me to the Windhams, and I was afraid of embarrassing the family Ethanâs eyes were cold. Heâd lost everything heâd worked for. He wanted to kill Chloe.
Chloe clung to Finnâs wheelchair.âFifth Brother, I never meant to betray you. As an adopted daughter, I was always careful...â
Finn shoved her away, his eyes red with anger.âBut Garrett Yates said you were his girlfriend!â
Chloe whimpered, âI wanted to break up with Garrett Yates, but he wouldnât let me go. He threatened me, so I couldnât end things.â
âWhy didnât you tell me? I could have helped!â Finn was furious, especially remembering the video.
Chloe sobbed, âI didnât want to cause trouble for the Windhams. I wanted to handle it myself.â She secretly despised Finn; he always talked big but ultimately relied on Ethan.
âFifth Brother, I didnât want you to know. I was afraid youâd dislike Finnâs expression softened.âChloe, why would you think that? I wouldnât dislike you.â He actually felt relieved; she wasnât the unattainable princess anymore.
me.â
Chloe seized the opportunity.âFifth Brother, you know how I feel. Even if Iâm no longer adopted, you can still take care of me.â
âThe person who leaked the video is the most vicious!â Chloe accused Alice, hating her. Finn nodded. âSomeone is deliberately sabotaging Brotherâs plans.â
Chloe, looking at Ethan, said excitedly, âBrother, I suspect Sister Alice. Sheâs a skilled hacker; this is easy for her.â
Finn agreed.âShe probably did it because you didnât take her to the party. This humiliation... we canât forgive her!â
Ethan rubbed his temples.âWhat proof do you have that Alice did this?â He suspected Alice, but he needed Mary back on his side.
Chloe said, âBrother, ask Mrs. Parker. She must have evidence!â
Finn added, âOnce we have evidence, we can call the police.â
Alice, having overheard, entered. The Windhamsâ faces paled.
Chloe glared at her.âSister Alice, why did you do this? You ruined the do this? You ruined the party and Brotherâs years of work!â
Finn, furious, tried to attack Alice. She slapped him back, stunning him with pain. Finn gasped.âYou dared hit your brother?â

3 Chapter 342 You hit me first,â Alice retorted.
Finn yelled, âIâm your brother! Do I need a reason to discipline you?â
Alice sneered, âI never considered you my brother, Get a grip,â
Finn yelled, âBrother, you her attitude! If she didnât do it, who did?â Chloe cried to Alice, âSister Alice, I know you dislike me. Why did you expose me at the party? Brother has never wronged you!â She was trying to turn Ethan against Alice.
Alice scoffed, âChloe, you were caught twoâtiming, and you were making out with Garrett Yates in the restroom. What does that have to do with me?â
âYou leaked the video! Do you know how much this hurt Brother? You ruined his efforts and the Windham familyâs reputation!â
tell Ethanâs expression turned cold.âAlice, the truth. Did you me do this?
Alice looked at Ethan, who seemed dejected. The party had been a major blow to him.
Alice smiled coldly.âDoes it matter?â
âIt was you! You ruined my years of planning! You ruined my chance to elevate the Windham family and investigate the Mos!â
Ethanâs eyes were red.âI wonât tell you what I found out.â
Aliceâs face changed.âWhat else did you find out?â
