GoodReadChapter 243
Alice almost laughed at Blake's words. The Lu brothers‘ apologies were all the same.
“How do | explain this to Mom and Dad at the graveside? That's none of your concern,” she replied coldly. She
wondered if her parents had been furious when Chloe replaced her as the Lu heiress in her past life. Perhaps
their blessings had given her a second chance. “Alice, | explained the misunderstanding. | punished Chloe. You
saw her injuries. What more do you want? Blake said, remembering Chloe's long sleeves and pants; she was
hiding her wounds.
Alice’s tone was sarcastic. “Is that enough to compensate for my years of suffering? That's too easy for Chloe.”
“How do you want revenge I'll do it,” Blake said.
“That depends on your sincerity,” Alice replied, hanging up. She wanted to see how far Blake would go.
After her previous hacking attempt, she couldn't access Chloe's phone easily. Chloe would use a different phone.
She needed to find another way. She should have saved Chloe's conversation with her father. But the virtual
number made it easy for Chloe to deny everything. She needed to push Chloe to the brink.
Chloe most feared losing her privileged life in the Windham family.

He called Chloe.“Second Brother needs you to deliver congee.” A glint of malice flickered in his eyes; he would
give Alice an expression. It was all Chloe's fault.

“Chloe, tell Alice the truth. Expose

With Gavin, Blake wouldn't dare hit her.
Gavin hesitated.“My mother has guards watching me. | can only meet you at school; | need to report my
whereabouts to her.”
Chloe stopped crying, annoyed at this mama's boy.
“Chloe, if you're in danger, call me.”
Chloe brightened.“Will you save me?”
I'll call the police.”
Chloe gritted her teeth; she didn’t need his help.
She contacted her father; the number was disconnected. He always used disposable numbers. She called Ethan
for help; he was her only hope.
Chloe went to Noah's room, subtly revealing her injuries. Noah frowned. More injuries?”

not
Noah was disappointed. “Youre lying.” He remembered the bar surveillance video; Chloe had lied even when
he'd seen the evidence. He believed Blake; Chloe had deleted the video.
Blake was surprised.“Second Brother, you believe me?”
“Yes. Chloe did this before. Lack of evidence doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Alice’s our sister; you wouldn't
attack her without reason.”
“But Brother doesn’t believe me. Chloe is terrible! She ruined our relationship with Alice.” Blake grabbed Chloe's
hair. “Since I'm disfigured, you should be too; suffer what I'm suffering.” “No! | can’t be disfigured!” Chloe
screamed, begging Noah for help.
Noah hesitated.”Disfigurement isn’t fatal.”

her.
Blake held a knife to Chloe's face.“A little cut here.”
“No! Four, I'll do anything! Don’t disfigure me!”
“Stop! Four, are you insane?!”
Ethan arrived, pushing Blake away.“Are you crazy? If this gets out, you'll suffer too! Isn't there. enough chaos
already?”
“Brother, it’s Chloe's fault!”
Chloe, clinging to Ethan, sobbed.“Brother, it's my fault. Don’t blFour.” “Chloe, you don’t owe the Windhams
anything. Your father died saving our parents; we owe you.”
Chloe said tearfully, “I grew up here; | consider you family. | won't do anything.” Ethan felt relieved; Chloe was
obedient and sensible. He looked at Blake. “You made Chloe. apologize. Did Alice forgive you?”
Blake's face fell.“No.”
“I told
you Alice is heartless. Get ahead of this; make sure she never recovers!” Since Alice was ruthless, he would be
too.
