Chapter 363: Chapter 377

< Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Menu Alice’s gaze darkened. If Chloe was really getting married, she was definitely going to send them a “special gift.”

Ethan’s rush to arrange Chloe and Finn’s wedding seemed like a move to put his mind at ease.

He probably thought that once Chloe became part of the family, he could trust her more with their finances.

Alice understood Ethan’s strategy.

But unfortunately, his plan was about to backfire.

Alice glanced at the group message and realized she’d be heading to the Welch family tonight to watch the drama unfold.

She looked at Andy apologetically and said, “I have something to take care of tonight. You can discuss the tactics with everyone.

I’ll catch up later.”

Andy hesitated, a little disappointed.“Alright, next time then.”

Alice said, “Good, you and the senior members can sort out the team’s matters. I’ll head out now.”

业 Alice wasn’t focusing much on the team lately, but with Andy handling things, she wasn’t worried about falling behind.

Suddenly, Andy couldn’t help but speak up.“Alice.”

“What’s up?”

“Nothing, we’ll talk later.”

Alice nodded and walked out of the office.

If she didn’t go back now, how would she know what Chloe had been up to with the Welch Group?

Chloe would probably be bragging about it.

On her way back, Alice saw a picture in the group chat. Finn had sent a photo of jewelry, apparently shopping for Chloe’s wedding accessories.

Alice thought, “What a show–off.”

She thought for a moment and grabbed the jewelry and Hermes bag Jack had given her.

Mary, seeing Alice suddenly get dolled up, smiled.“Chloe and Finn are shopping for wedding jewelry, but Finn doesn’t have much money. He’s just bought the basic set. If you show up with a limited–edition necklace, Chloe will be furious.”

“Oh, really? That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.”

Alice’s dissatisfaction with Chloe and the Welch family was growing.

If it weren’t for not wanting to alert them too soon, Alice would not keep compromising under Ethan’s threats.

Alice walked into the Welch family with her expensive bag and sparkling jewelry. The villa was brightly lit, with servants rushing around, busy with preparations.

Alice noticed that the villa had been completely redecorated, both inside and out, with the 0 14:15 100.0%

小 Chapter 377 interiors now sporting a full–on princess style.

Menu She immediately disliked it. She called for a servant. “The curtains are ugly. Change them back.”

The servant looked uncomfortable.“But this was Ms. Black’s request. She redecorated it specifically for the wedding.”

“I don’t care what Ms. Black wants. Why should she change the decoration of my house?”

Alice glared at the servant.“Take them down right now, or you can all leave. This is my villa, and I make the rules.”

“Oh, it’s your villa? You make the rules?” Finn stormed in, furious.“Don’t you know Chloe and I are getting married? Of course, the house needs to be remodeled.”

“Remodeled, fine. But I’m the one calling the shots here.”

Alice stared at Finn and said, “If you don’t like it, you can pack up and leave. Now!”

Finn’s face turned pale with anger.“Noah, you saw what Alice just did. She tricked Ethan into giving her the villa, and now she’s kicking us out.”

Noah walked over, looking at Alice with a mix of pity and disbelief.“Alice.”

“What are you doing here?” Alice asked.

Alice was surprised to see Noah.

Noah said, “Luke asked me to take care of Caleb, so I came back.”

In truth, Luke had been worried about Ethan being manipulated by Chloe, so he’d rushed Noah back to keep an eye on things.

Alice wasn’t surprised, knowing Noah always liked to play the mediator.

She coldly said, “You’re just in time. This villa is now under my name. This is my house, and I won’t allow anyone to change the décor without my permission.”

Finn was furious.“Alice, Ethan was forced into this by you. How can the house belong to you?”

“Just look at the deed. It’s under my name. If you want to escalate this, I’ll call the police, and you’ll get kicked out.”

still Alice stood her ground.

Noah furrowed his brows.“Okay, enough arguing. Since the villa is legally Alice’s, she has every right to dictate the décor.”

Finn said, “Noah, why are you taking Alice’s side? When Chloe first told me, I didn’t believe it, but now I have to.”

Noah said, “Finn, if I agreed to change the décor, wouldn’t that be showing favoritism to you?” Finn said, confidently, “Chloe and I are getting married. It’s only natural for you to side with us, right?”

“I think you’re the one who’s not thinking straight. I’m not taking sides. The house belongs to whoever owns it. That’s the rule.”

Noah felt disappointed looking at Finn. He hadn’t changed one bit–still selfish and self–centered.

At that moment, Chloe finally appeared, seeing Finn couldn’t handle things, and walked over slowly.

< Chapter 377 Mer Standing next to Finn, Chloe said, looking distressed, “Noah, the redecoration is for the Welch family’s benefit. The Al project investment has been successful, and there are people wanting to collaborate with Ethan. We thought we could use my wedding to invite everyone over and build some connections.”

Noah raised an eyebrow. “Has Ethan sent the money already?”

“The first payment has already been made.”

Chloe felt a bit pleased, knowing her plan was nearing success.

But Noah was still suspicious.“Chloe, I heard that PZ Company was introduced to Ethan by you. When did you meet them?”

Chloe grew awkward.“Noah, it was a coincidence. I’m a business school student, and I attended some networking events where I happened to meet them.”

“Given your background, why would such a large international company approach you instead of directly reaching out to Ethan?”

Noah asked.

His instinct told him that something wasn’t right. That was why he had hurried back. He was worried about what Chloe might be pulling.

Chloe, flustered, explained, “Noah, they were looking to partner with Ethan. I was just a connector. They’re interested in the potential of the Welch Group.”

But Noah still wasn’t convinced.

bridge, a Chloe, fighting back tears, said, “Noah, I know you don’t trust me, but I’m part of the Welch family too. Of course, I want the business to thrive.”

Finn quickly added, “Noah, if anyone should be questioned, it’s Alice. She’s part of the Welch family, but she’s going behind our backs to help other companies take down the family.”

Noah rubbed his temples. “I’m just asking questions, trying to understand what’s going on The AI project of the Welch Group lacked any real competitive edge.

Noah had been the one who initially planned the project, and although Ethan had taken over, Noah knew the truth.

Alice, overhearing Chloe, realized that the first payment had indeed been sent.

She casually placed her Hermes bag next to her and, with an air of superiority, said, “Change the curtains back. Or you can all leave!”

At this point, she wasn’t going to back down.

Chloe, with tears in her eyes, said, “Alice, I know you don’t like the décor, but this is my wedding.

I...”

“Get out too!” Alice shouted.

Chloe burst into tears, and Finn, in a rush, wheeled himself over.“Alice, did you know the boss of PZ Company is coming too?”

Alice froze for a moment.

Finally, the one person she hadn’t been able to find any trace of–the mysterious boss of PZ Company–might finally be within reach.
