That statement was like a nuclear bomb. Alice was stunned. This wasn’t right. In her Chloe had married Garrett and become

a wealthy socialite. What changed? Ethan seemed angry.“Lewis, what are you doing? Everyone knows Chloe is our adopted sister. Are you trying to cause gossip?” He’d known Lewis liked Chloe, but he’d assumed that after all these years, he’d moved on.

Chloe remained silent, her head bowed. Lewis was her only hope. Her father hadn’t contacted her, so she needed a backup plan. Luckily, Lewis still liked her.

Lewis said, “Chloe is just our adopted sister; she has no blood relation to the Lands. I’ve liked her for years. If my leg hadn’t been injured, I wouldn’t have waited until now to say this.” Alice found it strange. Chloe, in Alice’s understanding, despised the Lands and wanted to marry into wealth. Why would she agree to be with Lewis now? Unless it was to escape the repercussions of the kickback scandal. The

looked at Chloe in surprise.“Wasn’t she dating that Garrett guy?” Chloe quickly explained, “Garrett and I broke up. He lied to me.” She wouldn’t mention their continued secret relationship.

Ethan remained unconvinced. Alice found the excuse flimsy.

But Lewis looked at Alice.“Alice, Chloe will be your sister–in–law, a member of our family. Yo can’t treat your own family like this.”

Alice clapped her hands.“How dramatic!” She hadn’t expected this move from Chloe.

She wanted to tell Lewis she’d signed a severance agreement with the Lands and didn’t care who Chloe was with. But that was before. She’d returned to the Land family to expose the people behind Chloe. Giving up now would ruin everything.
