Chapter 269
Chloe screamed,“Alice drugged and brought me here!”
Alice smirked.“No. We were discussing the plan. It got late, and you fell asleep.”
“You’re lying! You drugged me and brought me here. You knew what would happen; you wanted
frame me!” Chloe wanted to kill Alice.
Alice countered, “How do you know what I knew? Do you have proof?”
“Of course! The hallway cameras…”
Cameras? Chloe remembered disabling the security cameras to erase her presence. She had no proof Alice had brought her here. What now?
Because

Alice’s eyes were cold. “You’re talking about security cameras, right? Go check. Why aren’t continuing?
you know the butler disabled them. No evidence.” “I… I didn’t know. You disabled them! Chloe was flustered and evasive. Ethan was overwhelmed.“What really happened?”
Alice picked up the milk glass. “The milk was drugged. Anyone who drinks it falls asleep. Chloe and I discussed the plan; she asked me not to lock my door, and the drunk butler came in.”
Chloe immediately explained, “I didn’t know! You fired the butler; he resented you and did this.” She had a prepared excuse.
Alice nodded. “You’re probably right. Who knew you’d fall asleep in my room? I went to the bathroom, and this happened.”
That’s not true!” Chloe denied it; she hadn’t been asleep.
Alice pressed, “Are you saying I knew the butler would assault me and deliberately brought you here to be assaulted?”
Chloe wouldn’t say that. She cried, “Big Brother, I was in my room. Alice brought me here!” Alice looked at Ethan.“Chloe fell asleep in my room; she’s mistaken.” With no security footage, Chloe’s claims were unsubstantiated.
Chloe sobbed, “Big Brother, believe me!”
Alice smirked at Ethan.“You still only believe Chloe, right? I can’t stay here.”
Ethan was flustered. Alice’s temper was volatile; he dared not provoke her:
Noah said, “Let’s question the butler when he wakes up. Maybe he doesn’t even know who was on
the bed.”
Caleb agreed.“It’s Alice’s room. It was clearly aimed at her.”
Chloe’s heart sank. If the butler spoke, she’d be exposed.
“Lock the butler in the basement. I’ll question him tomorrow.”
Caleb objected.“No need to wait. Let’s confront him now. No chance for anyone to make excuses. He’d been burned by Chloe before and wanted Ethan to see her true nature.
leb dragged the butler to the bathroom and splashed cold water on him. Chloe looked worried; she needed a plan to prevent the butler from exposing her.

Alice noticed her nervousness and smirked. She wanted to see Chloe’s defense The butler awoke, screaming. Caleb dragged him out.“Who told you to do this?” Before the butler could speak, Chloe attacked him.“You bastard! Who told you to do this to me?! I’ll kill you!”
The stunned butler, seeing Chloe’s disheveled state, said, “It’s you?” He’d expected Alice. This was Alice’s room. What happened?
Chloe, sobbing, had bruises on her neck. The butler gulped, realizing he’d been with Chloe. He felt strangely pleased.
Chloe slapped him.“Who told you to do this? Who ruined me?!”
The butler looked at Alice.“It

Alice laughed. “Impressive. Your acting is terrible in dramas, but excellent here!” Chloe was still trying to blame her.
Chloe, sobbing, looked at Ethan.“Big Brother, this is the truth. Don’t favor Alice because she’s your sister. I’m the victim!”
Ethan sighed, looking at Alice.“Why did you do this?”
Before Alice could answer, Noah defended her.“Brother, I believe Alice is innocent.” Caleb agreed.“The butler clearly targeted Alice.”
The butler added, “Miss Windham seduced me. I didn’t know it was Miss Chloe.” He’d sleep with Chloe, so he’d protect her.
Chloe cried, “Big Brother, I’m calling the police!”
Ethan hesitated.“We can’t.”
Chloe was shocked. He wasn’t calling the police?
Ethan coughed. “This would damage your reputation. Mrs. Yates wouldn’t approve.” Chloe felt fear and anger. “Big Brother, Alice did this! She must pay!” She’d been assaulted by that old man!
Ethan said to Alice, “We can’t call the police, but you’ll pay. Give Chloe the charity foundation. No one mentions this again!”
Alice laughed. “I’m the victim!”
Noah said, “Brother, the butler and Chloe planned this. Chloe reaped what she sowed.” Ethan’s eyelids twitched.“But the butler said Alice ordered him. Alice, prove you’re a victim.”
“I have proof.” Alice took her phone.“I recorded everything.”
Chloe’s face paled. Did the butler say anything?
