Chapter 259
Alice watched Chloe's face, feeling a surge of satisfaction. Chloe clearly didn’t want Alice back in the family,
especially now that Caleb, Noah, and Luke Luke were supporting her. It was exactly the effect she wanted.
Ethan looked uncomfortable when Chloe questioned him.
Noah jumped in. “Brother, you always wanted a close-knit family. We've had our conflicts, but Alice's willing to
reconcile. Sixth and Fourth Brother are fine. Let's all compromise.”
Chloe was unconvinced. “Second Brother, Alice suddenly agreed to reconcile. What's she up to?” She wouldn't
let Alice return and steal her place.
Noah sneered. “Alice’s our sister, the Windham heiress. Reconciliation is normal. The Windhams are her family.”
Caleb pointed at Chloe.“What right does a chauffeur’s daughter have to question this? You think if Alice doesn’t
through Chlo,back, you'll replace her as the Windham heiress? Dream on.” He saw right
Chloe burst into tears, turning to Ethan.“Big Brother, | never wanted to replace Alice. | just wondered why, after
hating the Windhams, she'd suddenly reconcile. No other reason.”
Ethan rebuked Caleb.“Chloe’s father died saving Mom and Dad. She's been treated like an heiress. She doesn’t
need to compete with Alice.”
“Brother, the Windhams have done enough for Chloe. Wasn't the car accident related to her father? He owe the
Windhams nothing!”
After Caleb spoke, Alice’s expression changed. “What do you mean? Did Caleb know something?
Chloe was terrified.“Fourth Brother, what are you saying? My father died in the accident. What does he have to
do with it?” She feared Caleb knew her father was alive.
Alice approached Caleb.“What really happened in that car accident?”
Caleb continued, “If Chloe's father hadn't been careless, there wouldn't have been an accident. He wasn't
blameless.”
Alice’s heart sank; it wasn’t the answer she wanted. Chloe, relieved it wasn’t about her father being alive, said

to do with him?”
“But the accident report shows your father didn’t brake, and he was speeding. A normal person would brake, but
he didn't!”
Chloe was speechless; she didn’t know the details of the accident. She'd asked her father, but he'd remained
silent.
She cried, “Maybe he was scared and didn’t react. But he’s dead. Is it appropriate to talk about. someone who's
been gone for years?”
“It’s not appropriate,” Ethan agreed.”| investigated the accident; it was the other driver's fault. Chloe's father
wasn't involved!”
“Brother, but you said the lack of braking was suspicious.”
1 did, but there might be other reasons, like being scared. Chloe's father is dead. It's pointless to pursue this.”
Ethan had investigated; the other driver was at fault.

Alice interjected. “What if the car's brakes were faulty?” If Chloe’s father was alive, he might have tampered with
them.
Chloe immediately retorted, “Impossible. My father would have checked. If the brakes were tampered with, it's
not his fault; he’s dead.”
Alice smirked. “That was just a guess. Why are you so defensive?”
Chloe, clinging to Ethan, said pitifully, “Big Brother, | know I'm unwelcome, especially after Alice left because of
me, and my brothers resent me. But | won't back down about my father. He died saving Uncle and Aunt.” This
would evoke Ethan's guilt.
Ethan softened, comforting Chloe.”Chloe, don’t worry. | won't let you suffer. “I know, but I'm worried Alice won't

brought up the brothers’ resentment Noah interrupted. “That's in the past. We're siblings. There's no such thing
as holding grudges. Chloe, stop bringing this up; you're stirring up trouble.”
Chloe said, “Second Brother, that’s not my intention.”
“Good. Since Alice's returning, Chloe, you should pack up and move out of her room in the San Francisco
mansion.”
Chloe's face turned green. She stammered, looking at Ethan.”Big Brother, didn’t you say that room was mine? |
never had my own room. You said it was mine.”
Ethan coughed.“The
mansion has many rooms. Alice can choose another.”
Alice smirked.“Mom and Dad bought that mansion. They said the biggest, best room was mine, She wouldn't
give an inch.
Alice looked at Chloe.”Even if you choose a room, it'll be an unoccupied one. My room is mine. No one can
change that.”
Ethan frowned.“Alice, what's the
difference? First come, first served.
“I was first, but I didn’t live there, SO it becyours? Have sshame!”
Chloe burst into tears. Ethan defended her.“Alice, you're making a mess of things right after returning.”
Caleb said, “Brother, it's your
your
fault,
making Chloe live in Alice’s room.

Luke Luke said, “Brother, you're the troublemaker.”
Noah said, “Brother, Mom and Dad left that room for Alice. You have no right to give it to Chloe.”
Alice crossed her arms.“Mr. Windham, did you hear? It's your fault!”
“Humph, you can’t call the shots in the Windham family!”
“But our four shares combined exceed yours. Whether you remain CEO is still up in the air.”
Ethan's face turned pale.
Chloe stepped forward.“Alice, you...
Alice yanked the necklace from Chloe's neck. “This is my mother’s necklace. You don’t deserve it.” She’d noticed
it earlier and almost forgot.
A red Daniel appeared on Chloe's neck. “Big Brother gave it to me.”

“He had no right to give away my things.”
Ethan said, “Alice, you're so petty!”
Alice smiled, adjusting Ethan's tie. He froze,
