Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 170

Cold sweat beaded on Chloe’s forehead; her hands trembled so much she could barely hold her phone. She scrambled away from Alice’s seat.

But Luke blocked her path.“Answer

my question. What were you doing?” Chloe trembled, unable to meet Luke’s gaze. She stammered, ‘I…I was trying to help with Sixth Brother’s project. Maple Leaf is his competitor, and I wanted ΤΟ help.” “You can help, but what you did was illegal! And you hurt Alice!”

Luke couldn’t believe Chloe had done this! He thought of Luke’s words from earlier. “[Was that coffee shop surveillance footage real?]”

“Sixth Brother, it wasn’t…”

Luke refused to listen to her expression, grabbing her arm. Go apologize to Alice!”

He might have conflicts with Alice, and even tried to dissuade her from joining the Ballers, but he would never do something like this!

Chloe was terrified, her voice pleading, “Sixth Brother, I was working for Dad. Please don’t tell

anyone.”

If Alice found out, she’d be finished. Alice

incredulous.“You’re saying Dad told you to steal Alice’s data?”

“Yes! Why else would I risk this? It doesn’t benefit me.”

In her panic, Chloe used her father as a shield!

Luke was stunned. He hadn’t expected his father to order Chloe to do this. Knowing his father, he was capable of such a thing, especially given his resentment towards Alice. He’d even talked about destroying Maple Leaf!

Seeing Luke waver, Chloe pressed on.“Second Brother invested half his fortune in this project,– hoping to establish himself in Cloud City. If it fails, it’ll be a huge blow!”

“But you shouldn’t resort to such underhanded tactics! Why not compete fairly? Does Dad really want to destroy Alice?”

Luke still felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint it.

“Sixth Brother, Dad doesn’t want to destroy her. He thinks Alice isn’t cut out for business, especially now that she’s offended the Garcias; her future is uncertain.
