Noah frowned.“Chloe, stop making these decisions.”
“Second Brother, | know. | made medicinal congee for you. Do you feel better? Chloe mentioned the congee to
show off.

Noah was furious. He threw the bowl at Chloe.“Get out! Don’t cback! Chloe was startled.”Second Brother,
did | do something wrong?”
“Get out! Don’t makesay it again!” Noah was red-faced with anger. Chloe left resentfully, giving Alice a
triumphant look.
Alice looked at the broken bowl, saying sarcastically, “Chloe made it sound like you were dying.
You look fine.”
Noah looked embarrassed. “Alice, | didn’t think Chloe's congee was that good. Ask Sarah.” “Yes, Chloe kept
sending it; the boss barely touched it,” Sarah added quickly.
Alice pointed at the floor.“It doesn’t look untouched.” She exposed Noah's lie. She didn’t care about their
favoritism towards Chloe, but their attempts to hide it were ridiculous.
Noah's expression was priceless-like someone caught cheating.
Sarah quickly maid, “Ma. Alice, you're the only sister in the boss’s heart. Chloe's efforts can’t compare to yours.”
“I don’t care. I'm here to talk,” Alice replied, asking Sarah to stand guard outside, suspecting Chloe might be

something big. Mom and Dad said it was yours. They didn’t give it to you earlier because you were a minor. Now
you're an adult, and you can claim your inheritance.”
Alice felt relieved.
“I disagree,” Ethan said, bursting into the room, his face grim. Chloe stood outside, hesitant to
enter.
Ethan said angrily, “Alice, you have one choice: drop the charges. I'll overlook your actions and give you your
inheritance.”
“Brother, you can’t do that! It's Alice's!” Noah protested.
Ethan scoffed.“Don’t forget, if not for me, Mom and Dad would have left Alice only debts. | have the right to

said sweetly, “Brother,
maybe | shouldn't
take the
foundation...”
“It's yours, keep it,” Ethan said, glaring at Alice. “You claimed you didn’t care. Why are you here? Don’t you feel
ashamed?”
Alice retorted, “I'm reclaiming my inheritance. You should be ashamed, not me.” Ethan's reason was invalid.
Ethan raged, “Alice, you're incorrigible! You ruined the Windham family; you don’t deserve. anything!”
Noah shouted, “Brother, why are you being so cruel? Six and Four were wrong; it has nothing to do with Alice!”
“I know Six and Four were wrong,” Ethan said, tugging at his tie. “But | asked them to apologize, and Alice
wouldn't yield. That's why I'm angry!
Alice scoffed.“Hurting someone is easily forgiven with an apology?”
“What else? They can compensate you later. Just support the Windham family. This small concession... do you
even deserve to be a Lu?”
“You're right. | don’t want to be a Lu,” Alice said, leaving the room. Blake stopped her.
“Alice, drop the charges, and I'll testify for you and help you get your inheritance.”
