    Alice watched Ethan p Chloe, sending her spinning. She stumbled, trying to regain her bnce, but everyone recoiled, fearing they''d be hit. Chloended hard on thewn, half her face swelling instantly. Alice clicked her tongue; thankfully, this was an outdoor party. Indoors, Chloe would have cracked her skull. Everyone was shocked. Finn rushed to Ethan."Brother, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill her?"


    "If I could, I would," Ethan seethed. Chloe had ruined everything.


    Alice interjected, "Brother, that''s not right. She''s family. Can''t you take a step back?" Seeing Ethan''s murderous re,


    re, she smirked. That boomerang must have stung.


    Chloe sat up, her cheek numb with pain. She looked at Ethan innocently."Brother, what did I do? Why did you hit me?” This was humiliating in front of all these important people. Ethan pointed at her. "Where were you?”


    "I... I went to the restroom," Chloe stammered, omitting her rendezvous with Garrett Yates in a private room. No one had seen them, right?


    Someone


    scoffed, “It didn''t look like a restroom; more like a private room.


    "Wow, Garrett Yates''s a yer."


    “And the Windham girl''s so easy, getting it on Chloe''s blood ran cold. How did they know? Impossible!


    in a private room.


    room. Cheap!"


    Finn approached, his voice cold.“Chloe, were you forced? I''ll get revenge for you!” He believed Chloe was innocent.


    Chloe


    stuttered, "Fifth


    Chl


    Brother, what''s going on?" She had a bad feeling.


    Alice said, “Someone recorded it, right? Show her what happened."


    Someone yed the video. Chloe froze, a chill running down her spine. How had someone filmed her and Garrett Yates? She was finished.


    Seeing Ethan''s murderous expression, she clung to Finn."Fifth Brother, I... I was forced. That''s why I didn''t say anything."


    "I knew you were forced! Who was that man? I''ll kill him!" Finn was furious.


    Chloe pulled Finn.“Fifth Brother, let''s go." She needed to escape before things got worse. "Garrett Yates, you''re still smoking? Someone says you''re the ''bastard'' who needs killing."


    Garrett Yates, initially enjoying his cigarette, rushed over, seeing Chloe''s swollen face."Chloe, what happened? Who dared hit you? I''ll get them back!" He liked Chloe; she was sweet and charming.


    Chloe trembled at Garrett Yates''s arrival. She was doomed.


    Finn grabbed Garrett Yates''s cor. "You raped Chloe, didn''t you? The Windhams won''t let get away with this!"


    Garrett Yates was bewildered. "I didn''t rape her."


    you


    "Don''t lie!


    lie! Everyone


    it saw


    the on


    screen!"


    Finn punched


    Garrett


    Yates.


    95.7%


    Garrett Yates, not one to back down, kicked Finn''s wheelchair.”You cripple, don''t think you can hit me just because you''re Chloe''s brother!"


    Finn, on the ground, yelled, "Rapist! I''m calling the police!"


    “Go ahead! Chloe is my girlfriend; it''s normal for us to... Garrett Yates was puzzled, why was this on the screen? Who was ying this prank?


    Finn


    retorted, "Impossible!


    Chloe is my girlfriend, we''re


    getting


    married! "What?" Garrett Yates stared,"Aren''t you Chloe''s brother? She''d said she was caring for her disabled brother.


    Garrett Yates turned to Chloe, his voice icy. “Exin yourself. You didn''t even spare your brother?”


    Chloe, speechless, panicked, sweat dripping She was doomed. Who had set her up? Her eyes fell on Alice. She lunged at her.“It was you! It was you!" Only Alice would do this. Alice pushed her away."What did I do? Did I make you date Garrett Yates while nning to marry my brother? Or was I the one who undressed you while you were making out with Garrett Yates in the restroom?"


    Chloe, enraged, screamed, "It was you!"


    Alice smiled coldly."Chloe didn''t tell you she''s engaged to my brother, did she?” “No, but isn''t she your adopted sister?" Garrett Yates was confused.


    "Yes, but


    but Chloe gave up her adoption to marry my brother, Alice stated.


    Garrett Yates, furious, turned to Chloe."Is this true?"


    Finn, hopping towards them, yelled, "Chloe, didn''t you say you had nothing to do with Garrett Yates? That he was the one chasing you?"


    , Chloe, pale, tried to y the victim. But her swollen face ruined her attempt.


    Realizing her lies were exposed, Chloe fainted.


    Alice sneered."Convenient." Chloe would never move; she''d used this trick often. This time it would work perfectly. Except, this wasn''t the Windham residence.


    A middle-aged woman appeared with a bucket of ice, dumping it on Chloe.


    Chloe screamed in pain, waking up. Who was doing this to her?


    Alice saw the woman and knew Chloe was in trouble. Finn and Garrett Yates might fall for Chloe''s act, but not Yates''s mother.


    Finn, hopping to Chloe, blocked her.“Who are you, old woman?”


    "Get out of the way, cripple!” The woman pushed Finn aside, sat on Chloe, and began pping her repeatedly until she was stunned.


    Finn yelled at Ethan,“Brother, stop her! Are you just going to let them kill Chloe?” Ethan''s face was ashen."That''s Garrett Yates''s mother." The Yates were untouchable.


    "So what? You should help! Aren''t we family?"


    Ethan, hearing Finn, almost fainted from anger. He was beyond furious.
