Chapter 122

Luke’s voice was humble.“Tell me, and I’ll take care of it.” He’d do anything to appease Alice.

Chloe knelt, pleading. “Alice, don’t blame the butler. He didn’t mean it. I’m adopted; I shouldn’t have used my birthday as the code.”

The butler said, “Miss Chloe, don’t kneel for me. It was all my fault.” Chloe knelt, appearing humble and wronged.

Seeing Chloe’s swollen face, Luke softened.“Chloe, that’s not what I meant. This house is Mom and Dad’s; the code was always Alice’s birthday. No one else had the right to change it.”

Chloe forced a smile. I know. I’m adopted; I had no right. The butler overstepped. I promise it won’t happen again.”

The butler knelt.“Master Two, I’m sorry. I won’t be so presumptuous again! But Miss Chloe is innocent.”

Luke’s tone softened. He looked at Alice.“Alice, they’re apologizing.”

Alice’s gaze was filled with sarcasm. Nothing had changed. Chloe’s tears and apologies were meant to force forgiveness.

Jack said coldly, “Can apologies erase the harm Alice suffered?”

“It’s family…” Luke tried to say, but Jack sped off.

Luke watched the car, sighing. Why couldn’t Alice understand his predicament? It was difficult to be fair to both. Couldn’t they give each other a chance?

A cold glint flashed in Chloe’s eyes after Alice left. She looked pitifully at Luke.“Brother Two, the butler has always taken care of everything. Don’t fire him.”

Luke rubbed his temples.“He can’t be the butler anymore; he’ll be a regular servant. I’m going to Peking; the butler can stay here to help you with your studies!” He felt Chloe had been given enough opportunities; if she failed, it was her fault.
