Chapter 279
Alice watched Chloe being dismissed by Mrs. Yates, a smirk playing on her lips. Did Chloe think playing the victim would work on these wealthy women?
Ethan told Chloe, “Help take photos.” She’d offended Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Yates, it was best to keep her away.
Feeling resentful, Chloe realized she wasn’t truly accepted. If it were Alice, things would be different. She was increasingly bitter. Seeing Ethan stand beside Alice, she wanted to smash her camera. He was clearly supporting Alice. She’d planned the event; she should be the star, but Alice had taken it all.
Noah threatened her.“Chloe be smart. If you offend the Wilsons and implicate the family, Pig Brother will kick you out.”
Chloe, seething, took photos.
After the group photo, the auction ended. Many people surrounded Mrs. Wikon. Alice noticed Mrs. Wilson’s discomfort.“Mrs. Wilson, let’s go to the rest area.” “Thank you.” Mrs. Wilson appreciated Alice’s help.
Alice brought Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Yates to the rest area, providing Mrs. Yates with her favorite desserts. The Windhams followed.
Mrs. Yates, tasting the dessert, looked at Alice.“The real Windham heiress is more sensible than the adopted one.”
Chloe’s face darkened.
Ethan apologized.“Our apologies for Chloe’s shortcomings.”
Mrs. Wilson said coldly, “Apologize to Alice. You treated her badly.”
Chloe looked at Mrs. Yates; it wasn’t her fault.
Mrs. Yates quickly explained to Mrs. Wilson, “I was testing them. I didn’t mean to bully Miss Windham. I’ve never seen such a family.” She needed to distance herself, seeing Mrs. Wilson’s favoritism towards Alice.
Ethan stopped Chloe from arguing. “Chloe, you were wrong. Apologize to Alice. He couldn’t offend Mrs. Wilson.
Chloe was reluctant.
Mrs. Wilson threw the dessert on the floor.“Same conditions: Pick it up and eat it, and we’re done.”
Chloe’s eyes welled up. Why were they targeting her?
Mrs. Yates sneered. “The Chens must not know the Windhams‘ character. This is embarrassing.” Mrs. Wilson added, “The Chens‘ choice of son–in–law is questionable. Where’s Mrs. Chen? Is she ashamed and didn’t come?”
Ethan’s face changed; Mrs. Chen wasn’t there.
Ethan whispered to Chloe,“Chloe, I know you’re obedient. I’ll compensate you.” He couldn’t offend the Chens.

Chloe, seeing Ethan’s expression, picked up the dessert, trembling, the are a small bit, like it was poison.
She looked at Alice, crying “Is this better?”
Alice sneered.“Don’t do this again. You reap what you sow. Chloe had forced Alice to eat from the floor; now, the boomerang, had hit her.
Mrs. Wilson said to Alice, “As long as you’re okay. I knew you were a good girl when we me Ethan was surprised.“Alice, did you know Mrs. Wilson before? Why was she so protective of Alice?
Alice said, “I met Mrs. Wilson
the hospital after Caleb bear
up.” Mrs. Wilson said, “Yes, Alice helped me at the hospital. She looked at Ethan. Treat Alice fairly. I like her. I would’ve come if I knew she was being mistreated.”
Alice was surprised by Mrs. Wilson’s support. Ethan said politely, Mrs. Wilson, Alice is my only sister. We’ve reconciled, right, Alice?”
Alice thanked Mrs. Wilson for attending

Alice’s phone before leaving Mrs. Wilson added her Mrs. Yates looked at Alice, sensing something unusual about Mrs. Wilson’s favoritism After they left, someone peeked in and called Jackson. Brother, Mom’s gone.” “I saw.” Jackson had just learned from Wilson Mo about Mrs. Wilson attending a charity auction. It was Alice’s auction. He rushed there but hesitated to approach Alice; he didn’t know if Mrs. Wilson had told her the truth.
He asked, “Was she bullied?”
“Yes. Mrs. Yates was awful, forcing Big Sister to eat from the floor. I was going to yell at her, but Mom intervened. “John Wilson recounted the event.“Mom’s a fighter; I didn’t get a chance.” Jackson frowned; Mrs. Wilson had defended Alice.
“Brother,

“Chloe, I know you suffered. What compensation do you want?” Ethan couldn’t blame Mrs.
Yates.
Chloe said, “Big Brother, I planned this event. Let me handle the donations. I want to improve Mrs. Yates’s impression of me.” She’d lost face, but not the money–over ten million! Noah objected.“No. It’s inappropriate.”
“Why not? It’s fine.” Ethan looked at Alice.“Chloe suffered; let her handle this.” Alice said coldly, “Get lost!”
