Alice stood by theptop, her gaze cold and mocking "See? This is the evidence you wanted." For years, she''d been framed by Chloe, never having concrete proof. Her brothers had stopped believing her. This moment of revenge felt sweet.


    Noaly watched the video, especially the part where Chloe sprayed Alice. His mind was reeling, He turned to Chloe, his voice tight.“Chloe, the evidence is right here. What do you have to say? He couldn''t believe Chloe had actually attacked Alice.


    Was


    pale. Impossible!


    Chloe''s face


    Impossible! How did Alice recover She stammered, “Noah, L... I was forced by Max.


    "You


    the footage?


    I still want to lie!" Noah pped her hard."I gave you a chance, but you didn''t tell the truth." She''d only confessed after Alice presented the video, proving she''d lied before.


    Chloe was terrified. She couldn''t lose the Lu brothers'' trust. She fell to her knees. I... I was scared. I couldn''t offend Max! I had to do what she said!"


    “Chloe, I don''t know what to believe anymore!" Noah realized Chloe was deceitful. Were all her usations against Alice lies? Had Alice been falsely used all these years? He felt a crushing weight of guilt. What had his sister endured?


    Chloe begged, “Noah, I was forced! Max is ruthless. She''s being investigated for bullying a girl to death. I was afraid she''d bully me!"


    "You were afraid of Max bullying you, so you let her bully Alice?" Noah yelled."Since you came to live with us, have we ever mistreated you? Alice has everything, and so do you! Why did you do this?"


    Chloe clung to his leg, "I was forced! Please believe me!"


    "Get away from me!" Noah kicked her away."Don''t call me brother. You don''t deserve it!" Alice pped, delighted. This was satisfying. She''d waited a long time for this. Noah felt guilty."Alice, I''m so sorry. I was wrong.


    Alice found his apology ironic. Her tone was cold."I don''t ept your apology."


    "I know you''ve suffered. I don''t ask for forgiveness, only a chance to make amends."


    Jack interrupted coldly, "Alice''s life is ten times better since she left the Windhams. You want her back to suffer? Don''t be ridiculous!"


    "No, if shees back..."


    Alice smiled coldly, handing Noah a USB drive. Enjoy this. I''m going to the police station. I won''t let anyone who hurt me get away with it." Exposing Chloe wasn''t about returning to the Windham family.


    Noah felt the weight of the USB drive. Chloe knelt before Alice, pleading, “Alice, please forgive me! Max forced me!"


    "Do you think I''m stupid? An apology doesn''t erase everything?” Alice looked down at her, enjoying this rare sight of the white lotus kneeling. In her past life, she''d also knelt before them before being cast out.


    "What do you want me to do? Anything, just forgive me!"


    Alice tilted Chloe''s chin. "I''m going to report you to the police. Get ready for jail." She wouldn''t let Chapter


    Chloe off.


    Alice left, leaving Chloe scrambling after Noah. “Noah, I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me! I was forced by Max!"

    “Forgive you? I gave you a chance, but you blew it!" Noah put the USB drive in his pocket. "I''ll show this to Ethan. Everyone needs to know."


    Chloe panicked. Alice had recovered the video, catching her off guard. If the other brothers knew, she was finished. Without her adopted daughter status, she had nothing. She wished Noah would get into a car ident and die, preventing the USB drive from reaching Ethan.


    She rushed after him.“Noah, you said you''d treat me like a sister. I made a mistake! You can''t forgive me? I''m not blood rted!"


    Noah, leaning on his car, was breathless. He stared coldly at Chloe. “Did you only hurt Alice.


    once?"


    Chloe


    hesitated, then


    insisted, "Yes, Max forced me. I''m


    victim too!


    "Chloe, you''re hopeless!" Noah was disappointed and angry. The girl he''d treated like a sister was a viper.


    As he was about to get in the car, he felt dizzy and copsed.


    Chloe approached cautiously. Seeing him unconscious, she smiled. She grabbed the USB drive. But Alice had a copy; if it reached the police, Ethan would know.


    She had to destroy it! She dialed a number. I need your help!”
