Chapter 238
Blake’s grip on Chloe’s hair tightened; he showed no mercy. Chloe’s tears streamed down her face. “I was injured yesterday. If I’d gone to Alice, reporters would’ve twisted things, so I waited. until my injuries improved.”
“You’re lying! You could’ve gone to the hospital discreetly. You didn’t want to go; you wanted to drive a wedge between. ΠΕ and Alice, didn’t you?” Blake raged, slapping her. Chloe, nearly knocked off her feet, stumbled towards Noah, pleading, “Second Brother, I’m truly sorry. I’ll apologize to Alice and seek her forgiveness.”
Blake, relentless, pulled Chloe back and kicked her. Noah, seeing Chloe helpless on the floor, intervened.“Four, stop! Do you to kill her?”
want
Blake, his face bandaged, glared at her.“She deserves it! If this bitch hadn’t lied and manipulated me, we wouldn’t be here!” He’d been up for days, unable to sleep. He’d been so wrong about Alice, and the humiliation was crushing.
Chloe subtly showed her injuries to Noah. Noah frowned.“Four, aren’t you at fault too? You didn’t trust Alice.”
“Second Brother, if you thought Alice abandoned you, wouldn’t you be angry too?” Blake wouldn’t admit fault; he’d been deceived by Chloe..
Blake glared at Chloe.“Apologize now! Or I’ll kill you!” He was furious; she’d wrecked his relationship with Alice.
Chloe nodded frantically.“I will. I’ll apologize to Alice immediately.”
“Not only apologize, but earn her forgiveness. Even if she makes you kneel and lick her shoes, you do it!”
Chloe mumbled, “I’ll try. But I brought you food. I made it myself, especially for Second Brother. Your stomach isn’t good; I made medicinal congee.”
Chloe, picking herself up, cautiously offered the congee to Noah.“Second Brother, I heard your stomach isn’t good. I asked the maid about how Alice made it and experimented until I got it right. Try it.”
Noah hesitated but,

Chloe asked nervously, “How is it?”
Noah’s tone remained cold. “It’s okay, but not as good as Alice’s.”
“Second Brother, I know it’s not as good, but I wanted to do something to make up for it,” Chloe said, wincing in pain.
Noah softened slightly. “Apologize sincerely to Alice. Don’t use your old tricks. We’ll hate you, you’ll lose your place in the Windham family.”
and
I know, Second Brother. It’s all my fault; it’s not Four’s. Chloe took full responsibility. Blake’s mood improved.“Good. You’re a driver’s daughter living like a Lu heiress. The Windhams don’t owe you anything. One more trick, and you’re out!”
Chloe lowered her head,
but her eyes were dark. She wouldn’t leave easily. Limping out, she feigned weakness and collapsed before Ethan. Ethan rushed over. “What

happened? You’re hurt badly!”
Chloe weakly shook her head. “I’m fine. I need to apologize to Alice, explain everything, and get her to forgive Four.” She then pretended to faint. She wouldn’t apologize. Ethan had the doctor take Chloe away, then confronted Blake. “You went too far! She has a broken rib!”
“Stop pretending. Didn’t you send Chloe with me yesterday? Don’t lie; I didn’t intend to hurt her!” Ethan looked uneasy. “But

“Four, you feel sorry for Alice now, but she doesn’t feel sorry for you. Focus on the live stream.
incident.”
Blake stated, “Chloe needs to apologize to Alice; then she’ll drop the charges.” He was also a victim, deceived by Chloe.
Ethan scoffed. “Solve it yourself. I can’t help.”
In the next room, Chloe woke up, realizing she had a broken rib. She texted someone: “I’m almost dead. Why continue this act?*
*The more injured you are, the more sympathy you’ll get from your brothers. Money is key. Once we ruin the Windham family, you won’t have to depend on them anymore.” Chloe recalled meeting her father yesterday; he was alive. She’d asked about the accident; he’d said he had an appointment and a friend had driven. But she suspected he was lying. The Windhams had always said her father was the driver; when was he replaced? She didn’t she just wanted her father’s help.

Chloe gritted her teeth; once the Windhams were ruined, she would exact her revenge. Chloe was dragged from bed by Blake.“Sleep? Go apologize to Alice.”
Chloe was forcibly taken away. Alice received a message from Blake: “I brought Chloe to apologize. Let’s talk.”
Normally, she wouldn’t meet the Windhams. But now, things were different. Alice went to the underground parking garage; Blake was careful to avoid the media. She saw him dragging Chloe out of the car. Chloe was injured, her face bruised. Alice smirked.“Chloe, you should know your place. You’re just a driver’s daughter. What makes you think you can compare to me?” Pushing the white lotus to her limit would expose the person behind it all.
Chloe glared at Alice, burning with rage..
