Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 296

Alice hadn’t expected to run into them at the elevator. The atmosphere became tense; everyone’s expressions were complex.

Julia Garcia was surprised; she hadn’t expected to be caught so quickly. It would have been fine if it were just her and Mrs. Wilson, as they knew who Alice was, but Mrs. Chen was different. This was bad

Mrs. Chen was shocked. She saw Alice and Jack holding hands and sensed their relationship. With the failed engagement between the Tremaines and Mos, and rumors of Jack having a girlfriend, Mrs. Chen was curious but hadn’t investigated, fearing Jack. She never expected it to be the Land heiress!

Mrs. Chen looked at Jack, now she understood why Garrett had called; it was Jack’s doing. Mrs. Chen started to speak to Jack, but Mrs. Wilson interrupted. “You were going for a facial, right? We’re running out of time, let’s go.” Mrs. Wilson seemed flustered; she rushed towards the elevator.

Mrs. Chen looked at Julia Garcia.“That girl is no match for Julia.*

“I know, but it’s complicated.” Mrs. Wilson looked at Julia Garcia with guilt.“I wanted you to be my daughter–in–law, but no one can change Jack’s mind. You’re not young anymore; consider dating other eligible men.” She knew Jack didn’t like Julia Garcia.

“Auntie Wilson, did I do something wrong?” Julia Garcia panicked; without Mrs. Wilson’s support, she and Jack had no chance.
