Chapter 361: Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Jack, turning, saw Ethan and Chloe.

Menu Alice smirked coldly, “They probably heard about the school event and brought Chloe to get attention and improve their reputation.”

“I bet they were jealous of you speaking for the students and rushed here to grab the attention instead.”

Alice agreed with Jack’s explanation.

When they went back, they saw Ethan dominate the discussion with the CEOs, while Chloe added to it, impressing everyone.

The room became much quieter once Alice and Jack showed up.

Chloe glanced at Jack with admiration. If she had known his background sooner, she would have pursued him, leaving no room for Alice.

Ethan also looked upset.

Discovering that Alice’s boyfriend was the Wilson family heir has made him feel uneasiness lately.

He regretted not being kinder to Alice before. Would things be different between them now if he had?

If the Welch family could ally with the Wilson family, he wouldn’t need to marry into the Parker family and face their scorn and ridicule.

Ethan was secretly angry with Alice. She knew the Welch family needed connections and knew Jack’s background but didn’t inform him. She was truly ungrateful.

Since the last sample exchange meeting, Jack hadn’t encountered any Welch family members.

At this time, Chloe went up to Alice and asked, “Alice, why didn’t you tell us you were speaking on stage? We could have come to support and cheer you on.”

“Are you serious? I know you came here to see my product so you can copy it, so drop the act.”

Alice was direct.

Chloe’s eyes turned red immediately.“Alice, you’re misunderstanding. We’re still family, despite being competitors.”

While talking, Chloe looked intentionally at Jack.“Jack, we really want to fix things with Alice.”

Jack spoke coldly, “We don’t care.”

What Ethan and Chloe wanted to do had nothing to do with him and Alice.

Chloe looked uneasy.“Mr. Wilson, it seems you still have misunderstandings about us.”

“I’m glad you realize that.”

Jack’s voice was icy.

Ethan scoffed and stared at Drake.“Chloe is just as talented as Alice, but she keeps a low profile, so people don’t realize it. I brought her to school today to inspire the students.” Drake smiled back,“That’s great. If we had known sooner, we could have had Chloe speak too. Chloe and Alice are family, and both are very outstanding. This is beneficial for enhancing the ་

< Chapter 375 reputation of our school.”

Drake was excited about the idea.

Mer He had an idea to invite the Welch family to give a lecture at the school. But Jack intervened, “Mr. Cousy, did you hear about the recent issue at the sample exchange? The Welch family was accused of plagiarism. They contained it, but if it surfaces later, it’ll harm the school’s reputation.”

Drake’s face froze upon hearing this.

Was there such an incident?

He would need to look into it carefully.

Ethan glared at Jack.“That issue was settled. Isn’t it unseemly for you to mention it, Mr. Wilson?” “Do you think you have nothing to worry about? I can take you down anytime.” Jack’s voice was notably haughty.

Silence fell over the room; no one dared or wanted to intervene.

Ethan’s face blanched with fury, but he was aware that during the sample exchange, he had inadvertently left a vulnerability that Jack had exploited.

Damn it!

Drake understood that Jack and the Welch family were in conflict, apparently over business rivalry. Yet, he couldn’t risk alienating Jack for the sake of the Welch family. Ultimately, the connections with Jack were far more valuable than those with the Welch family Drake swiftly attempted to defuse the tension, “Today’s symposium has concluded. For events, we’ll invite everyone again.”

Chloe felt distinctly uneasy.

any future After all, Chloe had seen social media posts about Alice’s speech, and it filled her with intense jealousy. She was convinced she could also speak as a representative, which was why she persuaded Ethan to bring her.

Unexpectedly, Jack’s one comment caused Drake to retreat.

Damn it.

Chloe couldn’t help but glare at Alice, her tone laced with accusation.“Alice, you didn’t ask Mr. Wilson to deliberately target me because you’re afraid I’ll overshadow you, did you?” Alice scoffed, “Do I need to be concerned about someone like you, a plagiarist, overshadowing me?”

At the mention of “plagiarist,” Chloe was so enraged she felt lightheaded. She was on the denying it when Ethan intervened.

verge of Chloe composing herself, recognized recognized that Alice now had Jack’s support. If she provoked Jack, he could effortlessly bring down the Welch Welch family.

In this crucial moment, Chloe had no option but to bite her tongue.

Álice cast a look at the Welch family members before turning to go, suspecting they had some scheme but concluding they were merely there to stir up trouble.

< Chapter 375 Menu Chloe watched as Alice departed with Jack, who closely trailed behind her, exuding an aura of superiority.

Chloe felt a profound unease.“Ethan, look at Alice. She’s becoming more and more brazen.”

“Let’s bear with it for now. Once our company’s project succeeds, things will change. Moreover, I heard that Jack’s grandmother disapproves of their relationship. Alice still has hurdles to overcome.”

Chloe’s face instantly brightened with a smug look. She had always believed that the bitch Alice would eventually be discarded by the Wilson family.

“Mr. Welch, what a pleasant surprise to see you here.”

Julia entered with Max. If they could form an alliance with the Welch family, it would deal a devastating blow to Alice in the future.

Ethan raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the sight of someone from the García family approaching them of their own accord.

Alice and Jack headed to Pear Orchard for dinner.

Once the meal was laid out, Alice glanced at him across from her and inquired, “What have discovered?”

“Let’s eat first.”

you Jack assisted her with her food, but Alice remained still, her gaze unyielding. Jack sighed and set down his fork.“I heard you’re looking into the Garcia family’s new energy back.” project from a few years “Yes. I asked Mary, but given the time that’s passed, I didn’t uncover much.” Jack interjected, “That project had numerous competitors back then, and the most formidable one was the Welch Group, which was operated by your parents.”

“My parents?”

Alice started to piece together the history of the Welch Group. There appeared to have been such an incident.

It now made sense why she felt a tinge of familiarity upon seeing the words “new energy project” on the banner.

She lifted her gaze to meet Jack’s. “So, the Garcia family deliberately orchestrated a car accident to murder my parents and monopolize this project, ensuring they would never pose a threat to the Garcia family again?”

“It’s highly plausible. Back then, the Garcia family was on the brink of bankruptcy. This new energy project was their last hope for a turnaround.”

a desperate and risky move. The Garcia family, unwilling to let go, resorted to Alice’s eyes reddened with emotion.“Then who was in the car trailing the Garcia family’s vehicle?” On that day, all members associated with the Garcia family were present at the celebration party for the new energy project.

It was as if they had foreknowledge that the Garcia family would undoubtedly secure the bid.
