-Chapter 314
Alice could see Big Brother was displeased with Chloe. After all, Chloe had offended the Parker family’s young miss by stealing her dress. Alice hadn’t expected Chloe to hand over such a perfect opportunity, and for Mary to witness it all. She’d worried Mary would be bullied, but she was unexpectedly strong.
Ethan finally managed to say, “We’ll terminate the adoption soon. Chloe will have nothing to do with the Windham family.”
“But you haven’t terminated it yet! If this gets out, it’ll embarrass the Parker family too. People might think Chloe is involved with all of you brothers.” Mary said bluntly. Her status and position meant she wouldn’t tolerate being bullied by a white lotus.
Ethan gritted his teeth. “I’ll handle it.”
Chloe burst into tears.“Big Brother, I’ve said before that I’m an adult now. I can move out to avoid gossip.”
Mary scoffed.“Your legs are your own. Who’s going to stop you from leaving?” Chloe was silenced, bowing her head and crying pitifully.
Finn was heartbroken, muttering curses.“A future sister–in–law who hasn’t even married into the family has no right to act so high and mighty.”
“Don’t call me sister–in–law. I don’t want anything to do with people like you.” Mary left the room.
Ethan’s face changed. He glared at Chloe and Finn.“I’ll settle the score with you when I get back!” He chased after Mary.
Alice worried about Mary, but after seeing Mary’s reassuring look, she sat back down. The servers arrived with the food.
Alice, hungry after watching the drama, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Pear , Orchard’s food was indeed excellent.
After Ethan and Mary left, Chloe stopped crying. She worried, “Fifth Brother, what do we do? Miss Parker is definitely angry. We can’t afford to offend the Parker family.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Big Brother. If he hadn’t shirked his responsibility, my leg wouldn’t have been amputated. He owes me.” Finn was defiant. “Besides, that cripple Parker family’s young miss is lucky to marry my excellent brother. Who else would want her?”
Chloe thought that made sense.
Alice laughed, her eyes mocking. Don’t you know Big Brother is the Parker family’s (son–in–law who moves into the wife’s family home)?”
“What son–in–law? Impossible!
immediately. It was unthinkabg Brother would never be a son–in–law,” Finn denied it
Chloe was also surprised.“How do you know?”
During Fourth Brother’s incident, I held a press conference, but the Parker family squashed it. Big Brother admitted it himself then.” Alice didn’t mention Wilson Garcia. Thinking of Wilson Garcia made her think of Jack, and she was surprised they were brothers. She should have noticed their unusual relationship.
Luke was also shocked.“A son–in–law? Bi how could he accept such humiliation?
Brother agreed to that?” His brother was strong–willed;
Alice smirked.“The Windham family is nothing compared to the Parker family. What choice did he have?”
Finn was indignant.“But Miss Parker is a cripple! What gives her the right?
“You’re also disabled! You’re even worse off than Miss Parker,” Alice hated Finn calling Mary a cripple.
This angered Finn.“What did you say? Say it again!”
Alice put down her chopsticks.“I said you’re a disabled person in a wheelchair, so what right do you have to call someone else a cripple?”
“Alice, you ungrateful bitch! You’re siding with an outsider against me, you…” Seeing Finn approach, Alice overturned the table. The food spilled onto Finn. A whole steamed fish landed on his legs.
Finn’s eyes were

red with anger.“Alice, you think you’ve grown up and become strong, so I can’t
Alice kicked over Finn’s wheelchair. He fell into the mess, looking pathetic. She looked down at him.“Don’t think I won’t touch you just because you’re disabled.”
“Alice, you’ve done this to me. Don’t you think I’ll ever forgive you? Finn was furious; he hadn’t expected Alice to actually hit him.
Alice raised an eyebrow.“I wouldn’t mind.” She didn’t care about the Windham family anymore. Finn finally got up, but he couldn’t stand steadily on one leg, so he looked at Chloe.
Chloe didn’t want to go near him. She was embarrassed. But Ethan already disliked her, and if she didn’t hold onto Finn, how would she maintain her position in the Windham family?
Chloe reluctantly went over and handed him a napkin. Fifth Brother, wipe yourself.”
Alice looked at Finn.“You better figure out how to deal with the Parker family. If you offend them, the Windham family will go bankrupt in minutes. Forget about your engagement; even your daily life will be difficult.”
Finn yelled, “It’s all your fault!”
Alice retorted, “I didn’t steal the dress.”
A server walked in. “Who’s paying?”
Alice smirked, pointing at Finn.“He is. Someone wanted to celebrate their engagement. “I’ll pay.” Finn patted himself down, then said awkwardly, “I forgot my wallet and credit card.”
Chloe was embarrassed. “What do we do?”
“I thought Big Brother would be here, we could put it on his tab.” Finn hadn’t expected Big Brother to leave without paying. “You know my brother, Ethan, right? Put it on his account.
Sorry, we don’t do accounts.” The server went to Finn.“Cash
Finn’s face turned red. He looked at Luke.“Sixth Brother, lend me some money. I’ll pay you back.”
or
card?”
Luke said calmly, “Chloe caused my team to disband, and I owe a huge debt. To avoid jail, I have to compensate Maple Leaf Company. Where would I get the money?”
Finn was angry.“Then use your credit card.”

“My credit card is maxed out. Since you and Chloe are engaged, let her pay.” Luke wouldn’t pay a
Cent.
Finn was angry. He looked at Alice.“Then you pay. You ate the most.”
Alice smiled.“Then ask me nicely.”
