Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 291

Alice hadn't expected her strategy to pay off so quickly. Her decision to return to the Land mansion and force

Chloe's hand had been a stroke of genius.

“Ms. Alice, but the man in the photo isn’t the sas the one before, Mandy said Alice received the photo. The

middle-aged man driving the car was not Chloe’s father. But since it was another car from the 4S store, it meant

Chloe's father had sconnection to this man She was closer than ever to the truth.

murmured, “Keep digging.” She was cautious within the Land mansion. “Ms. Alice, the supplier's kickback

scandal has implicated many foundations, including Miss Garcia's. The Chen family is trying to suppress the

news, but the damage is substantial

understand.”

After the call, Alice felt this wasn’t accidental; someone had orchestrated it to divert attention from the expired

napkins. Everyone was busy damage-controlling; no one would focus on the Land family’s expired goods.

Had Ethan done it? But the Chens were involved; wasn't he afraid of angering them? Alice went downstairs and

overheard Ethan shouting, “Lewis, are you insane? You implicated so many families! Can the Lands afford to

offend them?”

“Big brother, this is a perfect solution to the Land family’s problems. No one will laugh at the expired napkins

anymore; everyone's hands are dirty.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Ethan was furious.

Chloe stood beside Lewis.“Big brother, don’t be angry. Fifth brother did this for me. He's new to Washington and

made a mistake.” She was relieved; she couldn't reach her father, but Lewis had solved the problem. Ethan was

the Chens’ son-in-law; they probably wouldn't care. Ethan, already furious, slapped Chloe. This is all your fault!

How dare you speak?” He regretted letting Chloe handle the foundation; Alice wouldn't have taken kickbacks.

Alice descended the stairs, seeing Chloe being slapped. She knew Ethan hadn't done it; the Chens were

involved.

Lewis comforted Chloe, who hid in his arms and cried. She couldn't defend herself; the evidence irrefutable. It

was all Alice's fault for participating in the charity event. “Big brother, why did you hit her? Don’t you remember

Chloe's father saved our parents? The Lands owe her a life!”

Ethan was speechless. He'd used that excuse against Alice, but it felt wrong coming from Lewis. He couldn't

argue; he was angry and frustrated.

Ethan tugged at his tie, noticing Alice. He yelled, “Alice, you're enjoying this! You caused this!”

“What did | do? Did | take kickbacks and buy expired napkins? Did | expose the supplier's kickbacks?”

Alice’s sharp words left Ethan speechless. She hadn’t done any of that; Chloe had!

Ethan’s mind cleared.

Lewis retorted, “Alice, stop pretending. Those practices are common in foundations. You're just using this to

target Chloe.”

Alice found it laughable.“Chloe broke the law.”

“Is this something to make a big fuss about? She’s your future sister-in-law! | won't allow hurt her!”

Alice laughed; arguing with someone unreasonable was pointless.

Alice said, “Save those words for the police.”

you to

Lewis sneered.“Alice, you can’t threaten Chloe. The supplier confessed; he replaced the napkins himself. Chloe

only took a small kickback; it's not a big deal.”

Alice gritted her teeth. He was right, but she wouldn't let Chloe win.“That’s irrelevant. The police will

investigate.”

Alice left. Chloe glared at her back; she'd find a way to kill this bitch. But for now, she needed to protect herself.

Chloe cried to Lewis, “Fifth brother, it’s all my fault. | made you and Big brother fight.”

“Chloe, you're my fiancée. I'll always be good to you. Big brother will understand.” Lewis looked at Ethan; his leg

was lost because Ethan hadn't answered the phone, forcing Alice to sign the amputation consent. Both Alice and

Ethan owed him.

Ethan snorted and left. He hadn't realized how stupid and wicked Chloe was. He'd wanted to use her to control

Alice, but she was a problem.

Ethan saw Alice walking on the street. He rolled down his window.“Where are you going?”

Alice, lost in thought, looked at him coldly.“To school, obviously.”

“Get in. I'll drive you.”

No, I'll take a taxi.” Alice refused; she didn’t want to see the Land family.

Ethan, angry, softened.”Chloe was wrong. | won't let her handle the foundation again.”

Alice remained impassive.

Ethan pleaded, “Lewis is different after losing his leg. He finally found someone. Please don’t pursue charges

against Chloe.”

Alice’s eyes were sarcastic; he was still pleading for Chloe.

“Instead of talking to me, get her a good lawyer!”

Alice hailed a taxi.

Ethan said, “If you drop the charges, I'll convince the Mos to let the Land foundation join the charity event again.

It'll benefit Mom and Dad's foundation.”

Alice paused.

Ethan pressed, “It's a good deal, right? You can’t do it alone.”

Alice faced Ethan, her eyes cold.”Okay, but | have a condition.”

“What?”

“You're protecting Lewis because of guilt over the amputation, right?” Alice’s voice was icy.“Admit to Lewis that

you intentionally didn’t answer the phone because you didn’t want to take responsibility for the amputation, and

I'll agree to your proposal.”

Ethan's face contorted with rage.
