Alice picked up the gloves next
to her and was ready to get her phone.
Chloe frantically pressed the flush button, determined to prevent Alice from picking up phone.

Alice, however, burst into laughter, then stood up and slapped the gloves onto Chloe’s face. Chloe screamed, stepped back, and quickly rushed to wash her face.
Alice turned around and glanced at Ethan and Noah outside. “Did you see that? She’s always used this old–fashioned phone to contact her deceased father.”
“No, I didn’t.”
Chloe quickly explained.
Ethan stared at Chloe and said, “If you have nothing to hide, why were you so desperate to flush the phone down the toilet?”
Chloe stammered in response, “I… I was just scared.”
Noah’s eyes were filled with doubt.“Do you think we’d believe that?”
Chloe turned to Ethan and said, “Ethan, you should trust me, right? I’ve done so much for the Welch family, but Alice hasn’t done anything!”
Ethan looked at Chloe coldly and replied, “I don’t know anymore whether what you’re saying is true or false.”

and he saw
it very clearly.
Just now, Chloe’s face had changed completely, and he had seen it very clearly. Chloe’s face turned pale.“Ethan, my father has been dead for so many years. Didn’t you personally confirm it back then? Just because of a word from Alice, you doubt me?” “I didn’t believe it at first, but now, why should I believe you?”
The photo given by Alice clearly showed the middle–aged man was the driver. Ethan definitely wouldn’t make a mistake.
If Chloe’s father were still alive, was the car accident an accident back then? Ethan’s heart felt as if it were being fried in oil. He wanted to uncover the truth, but at this moment, he was also afraid of what he might find.
Because he realized that the truth might be something he couldn’t bear to face. Chloe was trapped in the bathroom with no way out. She looked at the Welch family in front of her and suddenly burst into laughter.
Ethan was somewhat annoyed and said, “What are you laughing at?”
“Do
you
have any
evidence for what you’re saying?” Chloe retorted.“I was just an orphan back then. I didn’t know anything. If you suspect my father is alive, then go ahead and find him before making any accusations.”

Chloe thought that if her father had been able to hide for so many years without any problems, he would not be easily found.
Chloe calmed down, realizing that as long as she didn’t admit anything, the Welch family had not way to prove her wrong.
Chloe looked at Ethan and said, “It was you who brought me back to the Welch family, not met insisting on staying. In my memory, I was an orphan, and my father had already passed away.” Ethan was so angry that he felt a pain in his chest.“Chloe, is this really what you think? I rescued you from the slums and raised you like a rich girl since you were little. Don’t you have any gratitude at all?”
“I am grateful,” Chloe replied, “but I’ve been so good to you all these years, always trying to please you and doing so much. I don’t owe you anything, especially considering that if my father hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have become an orphan in the first place.”
Chloe looked at Ethan again and said, “If it weren’t for my father driving you all in that car accident, he wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t have become an orphan. I’ve been living with the Welch family for so many years, always being cautious, and afraid of making mistakes and being kicked out. Do you think this kind of life is good?”
“Chloe, you’re heartless!”
Ethan had never felt this angry before. The real wolf in sheep’s clothing was Chloe. He never expected that she would think this way.
He didn’t expect that Chloe would think this way.
Alice, watching the scene unfold from the side, clicked her tongue and said, “This is quite the show.”
She had been waiting for this day for a long time and finally saw the moment when the goody–two–shoes stopped pretending and completely broke ties with the Welch family Alice looked up at Ethan, whose face had turned as pale as a sheet, with a strong hint of mockery in her eyes.
Provoked, Ethan stared at Chloe and said, “Until this money is recovered, you must stay at home and not go anywhere. You are not allowed to make phone calls or contact anyone outside.”
Regardless of whether Chloe’s father is alive or not, the money must be retrieved first. Ethan now regrets trusting Chloe.
Chloe was
a little angry.“Why should my freedom be restricted? This is illegal.” “You cannot leave until the matter is thoroughly investigated. Now, I have the final say,” Ethan said firmly.
He was very dominant.“Chloe, if this money goes missing, I will make
Chloe was suddenly scared.
She quickly looked outside and said, “Finn, where is Finn?”
Chloe knew that things had gone from bad to worse.

The original plan was to have the wedding today. She had finished packing everything and was supposed to disappear afterward.
All the plans had been disrupted by that despicable person, Alice.

Chloe felt a little anxious and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Ethan’s trouser leg. “Ethan, what I said just now was all out of anger. I was just upset by everything that Alice did.”
“Do you think I’d still believe a word you say? Do you think everyone else is a fool?” Ethan kicked Chloe away and then turned to the servants outside. “Lock her up in the basement for me. Don’t let her leave, and don’t give her a phone.”
Chloe was dragged away.
She had been calling out Finn’s name, but Finn never appeared.
Alice felt that most likely it was what Chloe had just said that had greatly affected Finn.
After all, Finn did spoil Chloe quite a bit.
Alice looked at Ethan and said, “You couldn’t retrieve your money. Did you think it was in the hands of the PZ Company’s leader?”
Ethan’s face turned pale. “Since you already knew all of this, why didn’t you say anything? Are you happy watching us being fooled?”

situation.
Although he was angry with Chloe’s behavior, he was also dissatisfied with Alice. If Alice had spoken up earlier, there wouldn’t be the “Yeah, Alice, you knew that Chloe’s father didn’t die, so why didn’t you discuss it with the family? The current situation is very unfavorable for Ethan’s company.”
Noah didn’t expect that Alice had already known everything but chose not to say anything. Did she not trust her family this much?
Alice burst into laughter and said, “Didn’t I say it? Do you all have amnesia? Last night in our parents‘ room, didn’t I already mention it?”
Noah was suddenly stunned. He did have heard it before but they all didn’t fully believe what Alice said.
Ethan questioned confidently, “But if you had shown me the photo back then, I would have believed it.”
“At that time, even if I had taken out the photo, you would have only said they were fake, and Chloe wouldn’t admit it either,” Alice replied.
She washed her hands and then walked out of the bathroom, saying, “Only when Chloe moved you all truly believe!” that money today and it was traced to Chloe’s father’s account did Ethan fell silent immediately. Yes, he hadn’t believed what Alice said last night.
Who could have imagined that it was true? Over the years, he had been unable to find
any
evidence of this.
Noah turned to Alice and asked, “Have you caught Chloe’s father over there now?” Alice responded with a hint of sarcasm, “You’re asking now? But why should I tell you?” She then looked at Ethan.“You even gave up our parents‘ room you’re qualified to beg for this answer?”

Ethan was forced to take a step back, unable to find any words to defend himself for a long time. “That was because Ethan didn’t know about all this. If he had known, how could he have lef

Ethan nodded quickly. “That’s right, I didn’t know.”
If he had known earlier, he would not have let Chloe use his parents‘ room. Alice’s lips curled into a cold smile.“Well, I didn’t know either.”
“Alice, stop pretending. You knew. And that money is crucial for the Welch Group!”
Alice turned around and looked at Ethan, saying, “Do you still remember how clues to threaten me before?”
Ethan’s face twisted into an unnatural expression.

Alice’s tone was particularly sarcastic as she said, “Did you ever think there would be a day like this?”
“What do you want then?”
Alice casually replied, “Then apologize to me by kneeling, just like how you used to treat me in the past. Otherwise, you will never be able to make up for the loss of our parents in your entire life!”
