Chapter 291

Alice hadn’t expected her strategy to pay off so quickly. Her decision to return to the Land mansion and force Chloe’s hand had been a stroke of genius.

“Ms. Alice, but the man in the photo isn’t the same as the one before, Mandy said Alice received the photo. The middle–aged man driving the car was not Chloe’s father.

Ethan, already furious, slapped Chloe. This is all your fault! How dare you speak?” He regretted letting Chloe handle the foundation; Alice wouldn’t have taken kickbacks.
