Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 271

The butler committed suicide? Alice refused to believe it, heading to the basement where the Windhams were

gathered.

Ethan, standing at the entrance, looked at the hanging butler, his brow furrowed, but a sense of relief washed

Over him. Suicide-all the blwould fall on the butler. Noah, seeing Alice arrive, blocked her view. Don’t look.

You'll have nightmares.” Alice's face was stern.“The butler didn’t commit suicide.” Chloe wouldn't let him; she'd

bought him off. A greedy person like him wouldn't kill himself.

Caleb said, “You mean he was murdered?”

“Impossible,” Ethan immediately refuted. “If it was murder, who did it? Chloe couldn't do it; don’t try to frame

her,”

Alice

smirked.“Couldn’t she have hired someone?” Chloe's backers had acted. Ethan was angry.“She’s an orphan.

Where would she find someone capable of murder? Noah agreed.“Big Brother's right. He probably committed

suicide.”

“Brother, we need to call the police. Someone died. But what excuse should we use?” Ethan pondered.“Say the

butler stole valuable items and embezzled money. Last night, he tried to steal from Alice’s room; we caught him,

and he committed suicide.”

Noah nodded. That works. The butler’s accounts were always problematic, but | ignored it.”

Alice found this laughable. A butler with such poor character had stayed in the Windham family for so long.

Caleb spoke for Alice. “Second Brother, you knew the butler was untrustworthy. Why keep him?” Noah was

uneasy. He’d been with the Windhams for so long. It was difficult to fire him, especially since Chloe was close to

him. Who knew he was capable

was capable of this?-

Chloe rushed in.“Big Brother, did the butler really commit suicide?”

Ethan stopped her.“Yes, don’t go in. It's gruesome.”

Chloe cried, “I can’t believe he killed himself. He deserved it, but it’s still a life.” Luckily, her father had

eliminated that threat. Unfortunately, she couldn't kill Alice yet.

Alice rolled her eyes.“She’s acting again.”

Caleb shoved Chloe into the basement.“Since you're so concerned, take a close look.” Chloe, catching sight of

the butlers face, screamed, paralyzed with fear. Anyone would be terrified seeing a corpse.

Ethan pulled Chloe out. He glared at Caleb. “You're too much.”

“She wanted to pretend to care; she should get a closer look.”

Chloe, pale and trembling, was speechless. She'd never seen a corpse before, especially one killed by her father.

Alice went to the hall. She hadn't expected Chloe's father to act so quickly. She messaged the PR team:[“Check

the security cameras near the house. That person must have been there.] This was the perfect opportunity.

Chapter 271

Ethan said to Alice, “When the police arrive, you and Chloe stick to the story: the butler was stealing, you caught

him, and he killed himself. Understood?”

Chloe nodded obediently.

Alice raised an eyebrow.“I'll tell the truth. Why should | keep quiet?” Seeing Chloe's change of expression, Alice

knew she didn’t want this to get bigger. Alice stared at Chloe.“And I think the butler was murdered.”

“Impossible!” Chloe countered.“He committed suicide out of guilt. No one had a motive. We were all in our

rooms. Who would kill him?”

Ethan disagreed with Alice.“This will damage your reputations.”

“I don’t care; | didn’t sleep with the butler.” Alice’s malice and sarcasm ignited Chloe's fury. If the Windhams*

assets weren't being emptied, she should have killed Alice last night! Remembering her father’s words, she

cried, “Big Brother, | can handle shardship. But we were in the sroom last night. Who will believe Alice

is innocent?”

Caleb snapped, “Chloe, shut up!”

Alice showed her phone. “I have video evidence. Only you slept with the butler.

Chloe gritted her teeth.“People won't believe the evidence.”

Ethan was stressed.“Alice, what do you want?”

“Simple: my parents‘ belongings, and your shares in the entertainment company.” This would remove Ethan's

control.

Ethan gritted his teeth.” Alice, you're taking advantage of the situation, You got me. Those are my only

conditions. Agree, and I'll cooperate with the police.”

“Alice, you're dreaming. | won't agree.”

Alice laughed, looking at Chloe.“See? To Big Brother, profit is everything.” Ethan was silent. Chloe panicked,

grabbing a fruit knife.”Big Brother, if this gets out, how can | live in San Francisco? I'm always mocked for my

background. I'd rather die.” Ethan grabbed the knife.“Chloe, calm down.”

“Big Brother, letdie. | won't burden the family or you.”

Chloe cried, terrified. If the police investigated, she and her father would be ruined. Suicide was necessary to

stop this.

Ethan finally agreed.“Fine, Alice, | agree to your conditions. But your parents’ assets... I'll give them to you once

Sixth and Fourth Brother's matters are resolved.”

“Okay. The entertainment company shares now?”

Ethan said grimly, “My secretary will prepare the contract.”

“No need. Just sign.” Caleb produced a share transfer agreement.

Ethan's face was ashen. He looked at Caleb. “You're really cutting ties? Where would your company be without

me?”

I'll manage on my own.” Caleb wanted control of the company.

Ethan reluctantly signed.“Fine. From today, don’t askfor a cent!”

Chloe said pitifully, “Big Brother, I'm sorry. It's my fault. You lost money prenesting mat

“It's my duty to protect you. You're a victim, unlike someone who's taking advantage Ethan glared at Alice.“Look

at Chloe’s magnanimity, prioritizing the family. Unlike you, pressing your family relentlessly!”
