Chapter 111

Alice intently watched Luke’s expression shift from hopeful anticipation to hesitant uncertainty after she laid out her condition. A cold smile played on her lips; this was expected. This level of sincerity didn’t warrant her staying.

Luke remained speechless, grappling with the impossible choice.

Luke stepped forward.“Alice, that’s too harsh. We owe you, but it’s not Chloe’s fault.”

Alice’s smile widened; this was precisely her intention–to expose their hypocrisy.

Chloe, gritting her teeth, said, “Brother Two, Brother Six, I can leave. It’s fine. Growing up in the Wind family has been enough for me. If Alice returns, I’ll move out.” Ethan immediately objected.“No! What would people think of the Windhams? Your father saved. Alice’s life, even dying in that car accident trying to save my parents. We can’t abandon you!” Taking Chloe in was a repayment of that debt.

Chloe lowered her eyes, feeling a strange unease. She’d always believed her father was dead, but recently she’d contacted a man who, though unseen, sounded remarkably like him! If her father wasn’t dead, who died in the accident? Why had he disappeared for so long? What secrets were hidden in that crash? She’d questioned the mysterious man, but he’d only asked for money!

She dared not reveal these suspicions, fearing the loss of her privileged life. This secret suffocated her. Ethan’s mention of her father fueled her anxiety.

Alice said quietly, “If that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say.”
