Chapter 278

Mrs. Wilson’s words carried significant weight. Ethan’s face turned ashen; the Windhams couldn’t afford to offend the Wilsons, let alone the Yates family Everyone watched, silent, aware of the Wilsons‘ influence.

Chloe, close to tears, whimpered, “Big Brother, I didn’t know she was Mrs. Wilson. Alice could have told me!” If Alice had warned her, she wouldn’t have offended Mrs. Wilson.

Ethan looked at Alice. “Why didn’t you say anything?” This wouldn’t have happened. Alice sneered. “You’re questioning me?” She’d only learned Mrs. Wilson’s identity–John Wilson’s mother. The Windhams hadn’t changed..
