Chapter 366: Chapter 380

< Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Mary Alice could see the smug satisfaction in Chloe’s eyes, her expression radiating with self–congratulation.

Chloe noticed and gleamed with satisfaction as she deliberately tightened her face, trying to look displeased.

Chloe’s joy only grew as she said, “Alice, we’re family, after all. If you come back to help the family, I’ll speak to Ethan for you. I’ll even let you have this position.” Anyway, the Welch Group would be reduced to nothing at that time.

Even if Alice came back, it would be with nothing but debts, no gain to speak of. Just the thought of Alice’s downfall the next day filled Chloe with a deep sense of satisfaction. Aviana and Haley were there too, and they’d witnessed everything. Then the Wilson family would hear of Alice’s disgrace.

Chloe thought, “Would Jack still want Alice by then?”

Alice could feel the calculating malice in Chloe’s eyes, a cruelty that was hard to suppress.

Alice kept playing her part, storming into the hall with a scowl, fuming. She glanced at the wedding candies and fruit platters on the table, then, without a second thought, shoved them to the floor.

Noah rushed over, concern written all over his face.“Alice, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Alice muttered, “Just that my house has been made a mess, and it’s putting me in a bad mood.”

Alice’s dissatisfaction was clear.

Chloe, still giddy from her wedding preparations, sauntered out and smiled at Alice. “Don’t worry. After the wedding, I’ll make sure everything gets back to normal.”

Alice huffed in response, not bothering to acknowledge her.

Chloe, with a skip in her step, walked away humming her little tune.

Noah, seeing Chloe’s smug look, gently tried to console Alice.“Don’t let it bother you, Chloe’s just overly excited about her wedding. She doesn’t mean anything by it.”

Alice lowered her voice.“Have you asked Ethan yet? Did he say anything?”

Noah shook his head.“Ethan’s keeping tight–lipped. It’s like he knew you’d ask.” Despite claiming she didn’t care, Alice couldn’t help but wonder if Ethan had been lying.

Every clue and detail mattered now.

Noah, in a lowered voice, said, “Alice, did you uncover something? I want to know what happened parents, too. Was there something more behind their to Our Alice met Noah’s gaze, her eyes dark, her expression unreadable.

deaths?”

She stared at him for a long moment before curling her lips into a bitter smile. “Of course there’s more. Otherwise, why would Ethan and I even be investigating?”

“But you must have found something, right?”

< Chapter 380 Mary After hearing Ethan and Luke’s words, Noah pieced together that Alice must have uncovered something important.

He had watched Alice grow up and knew the kind of person she was.

She might hate the Welch family now, but she would never lie about their parents‘ deaths. This meant she had discovered something.

Alice smirked coldly, “Yeah, but I’m not telling you, at least not right now.” She would wait until she caught the person responsible, then she’d reveal everything to her brothers.

That moment would be explosive.

Noah, feeling a little desperate, said, “Alice, more people means more ways to investigate. I want to help.”

“You don’t even know what Ethan’s found out. How can you help?” Alice said sarcastically, offering him no sympathy.

Noah hesitated and then asked, “What if I find something from Ethan and trade it with you?” “That depends on what Ethan’s found,” Alice replied coolly.

She didn’t commit, standing up and heading back to her room.

Noah watched her retreating figure, a sense of defeat sinking in. Alice had matured far beyond the person she used to be.

He muttered under his breath, “How did the Welch family end up like this?”

He just couldn’t understand.

Couldn’t they all just live in peace?

Suddenly, a loud scream from the second floor shattered the silence.“Alice, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?”

Alice, holding a bunch of things in her hands, threw them out the window, including the precious jewelry.

Chloe, horrified, shouted, “Alice, do you have any idea how expensive those are? You’re paying for this.”

Alice slapped Chloe hard, her voice cold and cutting as she said, “This was my parents‘ room. For years, no one dared touch it. How dare you turn it into a wedding suite?”

Alice could feel the rage rising in her chest as if she might just kill Chloe.

She had gone upstairs earlier, only to spot a maid leaving the room. It struck her as odd–Ethan wouldn’t approve of this.

But when she opened the door, she saw the red decorations and the wedding dress.

Just the sight of it made Alice’s fury explode. She felt an overwhelming urge to destroy it all.

Alice grabbed scissors and began to cut the wedding dress into tatters. Chloe, eyes red with anger, shouted, “That’s my wedding dress. It’s haute couture. Can you even afford to pay for this?”

Alice shoved Chloe aside, grabbing the dress and tossing it down the stairs.

After all this time, Alice had grown stronger–physically and mentally.

Noah rushed in at the noise and saw the wreckage. He shouted, “Enough! Are you trying to tear this place apart?”

Chloe, both furious and heartbroken, cried, “Noah, you saw what she did. Alice threw my things away and ruined my wedding dress.”

These were all carefully chosen luxury items, her pride and joy.

Though the marriage wouldn’t last long, those jewels and luxury goods were still hers.

Noah looked at Alice and said, “I know why you’re upset, but maybe you should try asking why this is happening. Tomorrow’s the wedding, with So many guests coming...”

Alice scoffed.“Oh, so you know why I’m angry now? Then you all must be blind. Have you forgotten whose room this was?”

Noah hesitated and replied, “I talked to Ethan about it. He said people can’t come back from the dead. This room was just temporarily allocated to Chloe for the wedding. There’s no other room big enough.”

It turned out that Ethan had agreed to this because the boss of PZ Company was coming.

And because of that, a lot of important people were expected to attend, so the wedding couldn’t be too modest. That was why the room had been temporarily given to Chloe.

Chloe, still tearfully playing the victim, said, “It’s only temporary. I’ll move out after the wedding tomorrow.”

In reality, Chloe had no intention of moving out, but she had to say this to pin the blame on Alice.

Alice threw things at Chloe, her voice low but filled with fury, “Say one more word, and I’ll have you thrown out right now! The wedding won’t happen.”

Chloe, hiding behind Noah, whined, “Noah, help me.”

Noah stepped forward, blocking Alice’s path and telling Chloe, “Go on, I’ll handle this.”

Chloe, furious but powerless, stormed out, determined to tell Ethan about what had just happened.

When everyone had left, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Alice sank to the floor, her face a picture of despair.“You’ve gone too far. You always blame me for our parents‘ deaths, but have you ever truly cared for them?”

Finn was just a lovesick fool, obsessed with Chloe.

Ethan cared only about his own gain.

Noah, the peacekeeper, thought the decoration in this room meant nothing. Only Alice felt as though her heart had been stabbed with a dagger, the pain unbearable. Noah, seeing the anguish on Alice’s face, remained silent for remained silent for a long time. Finally, he murmured, “It’s my fault. I couldn’t stop Ethan. I never thought you’d be this upset.”

Alice didn’t reply, sitting there lost in thought.

< Chapter 380 Noah, unsure of what to say, stayed by her side.

Suddenly, the door slammed open.

Menu Ethan stormed in, his eyes blazing.“Alice, do you really think that just because you’ve attached yourself to the Wilson family, you do whatever you can want at home?”

“Ethan, Alice’s anger is because of what happened to our parents. That’s why she’s so upset.” Ethan scoffed, “She’s the one who killed our parents, and she still has the nerve to be angry?” Alice stood up, her voice soft but chilling. “I had a dream last night. I remembered what happened the day of the accident, and I remembered who saved me.”

She turned her toward Chloe, her gaze eyes fierce.
