    Alice stared at the two of them."It''s a good deal, you know? Kneeling down is worth millions.” Finn shouted in anger, “Alice, are you dreaming?"


    "No, you two are the ones dreaming."


    Alice sneered, her lips curling coldly."Talking


    lips curling coldly."Talking like that, you''re


    you''re really na?ve."


    Without another word, Alice turned and went straight to the restaurant, uninterested in dealing with them.


    Chloe looked at Alice''s retreating figure, feeling frustrated. She turned to Finn, her voice choked, "You should talk to Ethan and get him to transfer the shares to Alice. She won''t lose out."


    I''ll talk to him. Don''t worry. I''ll fix this for you.”


    Chloe lowered her voice even further, “Just make sure you write


    "Don''t worry. If I promise you something, I''ll make sure I deliver."


    my name on it."


    Finn replied confidently. His shares were worth far more than the vi.


    Just then, Ethan walked down the stairs, talking on the phone."Make sure to line up all the ads. We need to keep hyping up our products to have better leverage when we talk to the investors."


    He hung up the call and noticed Chloe''s pitiful expression, which irritated him a little.


    He nced at her and said, “Is your face okay? Go to the hospital for a beauty treatment. Your chin can''t have any issues, or it''ll affect your on-screen image."


    Chloe blinked


    quickly."Ethan,


    everything''s


    good with thepany, right?"


    “Yeah, we won''t be issuing the giarism statement anymore. As for the project, you need tomunicate with them well. We''re about to start production."


    “I know, Ethan. The factory''s ready, as soon as the moneyes in, they can start anytime. All the materials are prepped."


    Chloe felt a surge of excitement. Once Ethan wired the money, her n would be half aplished.


    Ethan nodded. “You need to keep an eye on the factory. If anythinges up, report to ne immediately. Don''t let me down.”


    “Don''t worry, Ethan. I won''t disappoint you.”


    Finn said, "Ethan, Chloe and I are getting married soon. She''ll be part of the Welch family, and she''s totally dedicated to it. There won''t be any issues.”


    Ethan rubbed his temples."Alright, then."


    They had finally passed this hurdle.


    Finn chimed in, “Ethan, since Chloe helped a lot this time, don''t you think she deserves a reward?"


    Ethan went straight to the restaurant."Spit it out."


    Finn followed him and said, “This vi was supposed to be our wedding home, but you gave it to Alice. I''m thinking of using my shares as coteral to get Alice to sell it to me."


    "No way!"

    Ethan rejected him outright.

    The shares couldn''t be given to Alice. If shebined them with the shares held by Noah, Luke, and Caleb, she would be thergest shareholder of the Welch Group.


    Wouldn''t that make Ethan a joke?


    He''d already experienced this once with the entertainmentpany issue, and he wouldn''t let it happen again.


    Finn looked frustrated. "Ethan, tell Alice I''m willing to pay to buy the vi from her."


    Alice, sitting at a table, eating, nced up."It''s 8.5 million dors short. I won''t sell for anything less."


    “800,000 dors was the original price. Alice, you''re heartless, asking for 8.5 million dors. Don''t you think that''s a bit much?”


    Ethan rubbed his temples. “Finn, why don''t you write Alice an IOU?"


    "No."


    Alice immediately refused."Why would I write an IOU to buy a house? I might as well write Ethan one for 17 million dors, and you can hand over all thepany''s shares to me."


    Ethan was silenced.


    Finn, frustrated with Alice, turned to Ethan.“Ethan, can you lend me some money?” “Thepany needs the funds right now. Where am I going to get that much for you? Once the project''s done, I''ll buy you a vi as


    a wedding gift, how about that?" Finn was satisfied. "Let''s go to the new house. We don''t need this old one." "But I like this house!" Chloe whined, irritated.


    Once the Al project was over, she nned to cut ties with the Welch family. By then, when they were facing bankruptcy, where would they get the money to buy her a vi? Finn, starting to lose his patience, snapped, "Chloe, I promised I''d get you the same value house with your name on it. I can''t exactly beg Alice, can I?" Chloe kept quiet, realizing Finn was getting upset.

    After Alice finished her meal, she stood up and looked at Chloe and Finn.“I''m going to the property transfer office now. This vi''s mine from today."

    Finn retorted sarcastically, “It''s just an “Well, you two better find another ce to live. I''m not nning on living with you.” Alice said that, turning and walking away.


    Finn was fuming."Ethan, look at how arrogant Alice is. Aren''t you going to do anything about it?" "The Welch family is relying on Alice now, including you. You better not offend her. Otherwise, when the family goes bankrupt, you''ll end up a pauper."


    Finn didn''t respond, just snorted in disdain.“Alice will be dumped soon enough." He would make sure to teach her a lesson then.


    Meanwhile, Chloe was calcting her future.

    After leaving the Welch family vi, Alice went straight to the property transaction center to handle the transfer and organize her assets.


    The freshly issued property deed in her hand, her mood lifted immensely. In her past life, she was kicked out and left to roam the streets. This time, though, she owned the house, and the ones being kicked out should be the Welch family members, not her. In a good mood, Alice returned to school.


    But when she entered the ssroom, something felt off. The students were looking at her strangely.


    Alice leaned over to Lana, whispering, "What''s going on? Do I have something on my face?"


    Lana handed her phone to Alice, showing a message from Mary."I just got this. Someone''s spreading rumors about you."


    Alice took the phone and saw the photo of her getting out of Jack''s carst night, along with her holding a bag from a luxury brand.


    The post imed:"Sugar Daddy Sends Harvard Freshman to School, Sshes Luxury Goods." The post was getting a lot of attention, with people specting about the man in the car and wondering if Alice was being
