Chapter 288

Alice watched Chloe’s anxious expression.“Give me the phone.”

“No, we can’t call the police.” Chloe turned to Ethan, pleading, “Big brother, I don’t understand these things. The supplier said kickbacks were normal, but I didn’t expect expired goods.”

Ethan slapped Chloe.“You disappoint me! You took kickbacks? When has the Land family ever wronged you?” He was furious. How could he face Alice now?

Even after the slap, Chloe cried, “Big brother, I was momentarily blinded by greed and tricked by the supplier. I’m truly sorry.”

“Now you’re sorry? When you took the kickbacks, did you think about the consequences?” Ethan was exasperated.“Chloe, you’re increasingly troublesome.”

“Big brother, I truly know I was wrong. Please help me this once.” Chloe hadn’t expected the supplier to send expired napkins. She hadn’t anticipated Alice’s swift action; she hadn’t had time to destroy the evidence.

Ethan pushed Chloe away.“Alice is in charge of the foundation now. You should be asking her, not me.” He couldn’t control the situation anymore; Alice had the evidence.

Alice looked at Chloe, her tone cold.“Give me the phone.”

Chloe gritted her teeth.“Alice, please forgive me. We grew up together. If I get in trouble, it’ll ruin my reputation. I’ll give you the funds; I won’t touch them anymore.”

“No!” Alice snatched her phone back. She would get the funds back, but she needed to continue pressuring Chloe.

Chloe looked at Ethan.“Big brother, I’m not your real daughter, am I? That’s why one mistake is unforgivable?”

Ethan was taken aback.“Chloe, what do you mean?”

Chloe ran out of the office, crying. Ethan, angry, tugged at his tie. Chloe had dared to say him?

Alice scoffed.“Well, then I’ll call the police.”
