Chapter 235
Alice looked at Blake, her eyes filled with scorn“Don’t bother explaining, I regret washing, years it almost cost me my life.” She regretted her past devotion to her brothers, they didn’t deserve it Blake looked devastated, as if slapped across the face. He stammered, “L. 1 misunderstood. I thought you abandoned me, so 1 bullied you for years. It was all because of that awful woman, Chloe…”
“Was it only because of her? Did you ever trust me?” Alice’s gaze was steady. If they’d trusted her, they wouldn’t have believed Chloe, an outsider. But they’d all fallen for Chloe’s lies. Such siblings weren’t worth having
Blake panicked, “No, I know you’re angry, but I’ll make Chloe apologize? He was torn between shame and anger. He’d never been so humiliated, his voice trembled.
He slapped Chloe, his voice icy.”I told you what would happen if you lied again. You’re incredibly bold, deceiving me for so long!” He wanted to kill her.
Chloe’s face swelled; she looked at Ethan for help.“Brother, save me! I was scared and made a mistake. But I did go back to save Four!” She was terrified, Blake was a madman. Ethan pulled Chloe to his side, scolding Blake.”What are you doing? Chloe was young then, it’s understandable that she made a mistake”
“Brother, you’re protecting her?” Blake was furious.
Ethan’s voice was uneasy. “I forgot to tell you that Alice saved
you. Blame me if you must.” He hadn’t realized forgetting such a small detail would result in years of resentment. Blake’s eyes were red with anger.“Brother, is that just a small thing to you? Because of that misunderstanding, he’d targeted Alice, even attacking her! He hated her! Now he learned it was all a lie; Alice hadn’t abandoned him–she’d saved him! What about everything he’d done? He’d become a laughingstock!
Blake couldn’t look at Alice, overwhelmed with guilt. Ethan looked at Chloe uneasily. “You’re also- at fault. Why didn’t you tell the truth?”
Chloe apologized profusely.“I’m sorry, Brother, Four. It’s my fault. I was scared and new to the family; I didn’t dare speak up.”
“Four, Chloe apologized. Don’t hold a grudge. Don’t hurt her; it’ll make things worse for you.” Blake was dejected.“This all happened because of that misunderstanding.” He wouldn’t have targeted Alice or attacked her otherwise.
Blake looked at Alice.“I’ll confess. I’m sorry. I’ll take responsibility.”
Alice remained silent. She hadn’t expected this sudden change in Blake’s attitude. In her previous life, she’d died without knowing the truth. Chloe, that venomous flower, had manipulated
everyone.
Alice said, “Tell the police who showed you that video, who instigated you to attack me. Don’t let them get away.”
Blake sighed.“I know.”
Chloe’s face paled.“Four, I didn’t show you any video. The police checked; nothing was on my phone.” Even if Blake knew, without proof, she was safe. It was Blake’s hatred for Alice that had brought this about.

He left with Alice, refusing to let her be manipulated,
Blake’s anger peaked, seeing Alice leave; it was all Chloe’s fault.
Ethan said to Blake, “I’ll go to the station. You stay here.”
Blake’s tone was calm.“Okay, but I need to talk to Chloe.”
“No, Brother, I’ll come too,” Chloe pleaded, terrified of being left alone with Blake.- Ethan hesitated.“Chloe, you were at fault. Apologize to Four.” Ignoring her pleas, Ethan left for the station.
Ethan’s lawyer said, “Sir, Chloe clearly lied. Why are you protecting her? Why is the young lady suffering?”
“I don’t need your advice,” Ethan snapped. He knew Chloe had lied and deserved punishment, but he couldn’t let Blake’s career be destroyed. Alice, as the Windham family’s eldest daughter, could afford to suffer a bit.
