Chapter 268
A cold voice cut through Chloe’s shock. She turned to see Alice standing in the doorway. Alice walked in slowly. So eager for me to die?”
“Alice, what are you doing here? You misheard. I didn’t say it was you,” Chloe’s forehead beaded with sweat. Wasn’t Alice supposed
to be asleep after drinking the milk?
Alice smirked, knocking Chloe unconscious. She wanted to see what Chloe had planned.
Alice easily carried Chloe to her bedroom, placing her on the bed and turning off the lights. Hiding in the bathroom, she waited.
Time ticked by. The door creaked open, and a man slipped inside–the butler, drunk, clutching a bottle. He crept to the bed, saw the sleeping girl, undressed her, and forced himself on her, groping and kissing her.
The butler’s drunken slurs were vile. Alice smirked. This was Chloe’s plan. Clever, but she needed to play her part. She wondered what Chloe’s reaction would be.
Soon, the room echoed with moans and the butler’s obscenities. Then, the door burst open. Noah stormed in, flipping on the lights, witnessing the scene. He roared, “Butler, what are you doing?!”
The drunken butler, seeing Noah, flinched, then emboldened by the alcohol, shouted, “She… she said I was leaving tomorrow, to come here… she said she had something to tell me.”
“You bastard! How dare you touch her?! I’ll kill you!” Noah’s eyes burned with fury. The butler, pinned to the ground, slurred, “She seduced me… she seduced me… Noah punched him repeatedly, his face bloodied.
Ethan and Caleb arrived, smelling the peculiar scent. Their faces fell.
Caleb grabbed the butler.“Who the hell gave you permission to touch her?!”
The bloodied butler smirked before losing consciousness. Caleb threw him to the ground, kicking him furiously.
Ethan, grim–faced, ordered Luke Luke to close the door, preventing the servants from witnessing the scene.
Noah, eyes red, said, “Brother, I warned you about the butler! You brought him here, and this happened! Are you satisfied?!”
Ethan, guilt–stricken, was speechless.
Caleb held Noah back.“Second Brother, calm down.”
“How can I calm down?! My sister was assaulted!” Noah was furious.“Call the police! Now!”
“No! We can’t!” Ethan refused. “If we call the police, this will spread through San Francisco. What about the family’s reputation?”
Noah punched Ethan.“What about Alice?! She was harmed!”
Ethan said sternly, “I’ll compensate Alice. The butler will pay. But we can’t call the police! No publicity!”
“We can’t do this. Let Chloe come.”
The
bathroom
door opened, and Alice emerged, Everyone
was
stunned.

Noah rushed to her.“Alice, are you okay?”
She shook her head. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Caleh was incredulous. “Then who’s on the bed?”
Ethan felt a bad premonition. He lifted the sheet, revealing Chloe’s face. He recoiled.“It’s Chloe.” Noah was astonished.“What happened?”
Ethan stormed towards Alice. “Did you set this up?”
Alice smirked, walking to the bed and slapping Chloe repeatedly.
Ethan exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
“Wake her up. Ask her yourself.”
He wanted to stop her, but the sheet slipped, revealing more of Chloe. He turned away.“Alice, chough!”
“Not yet.” Caleb and Noah also turned away, exchanging glances, sensing something. Chloe awoke, screaming at Alice.“What did you do?”
She realized she was naked, her body aching. Seeing the disheveled butler, her mind reeled. She stammered, “Why did you do this?!” She’d fallen for Alice’s trap.
Alice’s gaze was icy.“This is your own doing. The butler assaulted you.”
“Alice, I’ll kill you.” Chloe, livid, lunged at Alice, but was slapped away. She was no match for Alice.
Chloe cried, “Big Brother! Alice framed me!”
Alice smirked at her brothers.“Chloe’s
Ethan rubbed his temples.“Chloe, get dressed.”
naked. Brother, try to stay calm.”
–
Chloe, trembling, dressed herself, then clung to Ethan.“Big Brother, call the police!”
Ethan smelled Chloe, showing a hint of disgust.
Alice smirked.“We can’t. It would damage the family’s reputation.”
Chloe
wailed, “Is my suffering less important than the family’s reputation?!” Ethan was speechless. Alice’s words echoed his own earlier statements, perfectly ironic. He hadn’t expected it to be Chloe. This was Alice’s room. He asked Chloe, “How were you in Alice’s room?”
