Chapter 108
Seeing Chloe’s pitiful expression, Ethan relented. He turned to the investigators and said, “I know Chlow. She wouldn’t cheat. Besides, she got bad grades. She didn’t have to cheat”
Chloe was somewhat unhappy because of his words. She thought she got bad grades because of their gaming tournament, but she still expressed gratitude, “Ethan, thank you for believing me?
The lead investigator seemed to have gotten used to it.“Sorry, we have to follow the procedure. Viesse cooperate with us.” Why were they so eager to investigate Alice but so resistant to investigating Chloe? The rumors should be true. The Welch family favored the adopted daughter and disliked their biological daughter.
Ethan put on a long face.“No, you can’t just investigate anyone as you wish. We have a lawyer?
“Mr. Welch, obstructing the investigation will be considered in our evaluation. Are you trying to hide something?
“Why would I hide anything? Chloe is sensitive. Your investigation might traumatize her.”
The investigator deliberately said, “But you weren’t so hesitant when we investigated Alice Welch, were you? Your favoritism is so obvious.”
Alice directly confronted Ethan, “Yeah, they can investigate me for cheating. Why can’t Chloe be investigated? People with bad grades could cheat too. What if she only got zeroes without cheating?”
Alice’s gaze was cold and sharp, full of sarcasm.
Alice retorted to him. Ethan’s expression was somewhat strange.“I believe Chloe is a good girl. Unlike Alice, who’d always competed with Chloe for attention. Ethan didn’t feel surprised if Alice did such a thing
Alice sneered. She thought, “Yes, in previous life, Ethan had believed Chloe, too.”
Noah looked at Ethan.“Ethan, I also believe in Chloe. To avoid suspicion, we’d better cooperate with the
investigation.”
Chloe was panicking, but she thought they might not have any evidence. She’d cheated for years without getting caught. Even when caught once, someone had taken the blame.
Thinking of this, Chloe said pitifully, “Ethan, it’s okay if I suffer this. I can do anything, as long as they don’t smear the Welch family’s reputation.”
Hearing this, Ethan was furious. He insisted on saying to the investigators again, “How can you investigate someone just because you want? Do
evidence?” you have any
“We do. The exam hall has security cameras.”
Alice felt a thrill as they mentioned the security cameras. Alice just tried to report it, but she actually succeeded. Chloe cheated and still got such bad grades. That was amazing.
Chloe was shocked. Her face immediately became pale. Her hands trembled. Had she been caught on camera? She thought to herself, “Impossible! It can’t be!”
Ethan didn’t believe them.“Show me the video.”
The investigator showed a video on his phone.“It’s very clear. She exchanged notes with the girl in front of her.”
Alice wore a faint smile as she saw the video.“The video is quite clear.” The camera captured Chloe’s cheating clearly. Alice wondered how Chloe could deny this solid evidence and how the Welch family would react. Alice wanted to know what this would be going on.
Chloe was terrified. She fell to the floor. She thought it was impossible. She’d been so careful to avoid the cameras! How could this be? Chloe didn’t know what she should do. If the Welch family hated her, her future would be ruined.

After watching the video, Ethan was shocked and looked at Chloe.“What’s going on? Chloe, what did you do?” He couldn’t believe she’d done this. He’d defended her just now. But with this video, Ethan thought it was humiliating!
Chloe lowered her head and didn’t dare to answer. What should she do? If she couldn’t explain, she was finished! Chloe didn’t want to be kicked out of the Welch family! She couldn’t lose her privileged status as the daughter of the Welch family!
Alice deliberately raised her voice, “Chloe cheated! Isn’t it obvious? Ethan, are you blind? She cheated! Do you know what that means? Should I explain it to you in detail?”
Ethan’s face turned gloomy. He regretted what he had done just now.
Chloe stepped back with a pale face. The word “cheating” was like a knife piercing into her heart. It should have been Alice being humiliated. Why had it been reversed? This wasn’t right!
Ethan also felt embarrassed. He had always believed Chloe, and now this video was slapping him in the face.
The investigator said sarcastically, “Is the evidence clear enough? So we came here to ask her. We need Chloe to explain the situation.”
Ethan knew he was wrong and didn’t say anything. This was humiliating.
However, no matter how the investigator questioned, Chloe remained silent. She didn’t dare to answer. She was afraid she would be doomed after she answered these questions.
Alice shouted, “Chloe, do you think silence will solve everything for you? The evidence is clear. The school will find out the truth and tell every student. Based on the school rules, you’ll be expelled!”
“Shut up!” Chloe covered her head and screamed. She hadn’t expected to fail. She shouldn’t have reported Alice cheating. Then, no one would have investigated her own actions.
Suddenly, Chloe thought of something. She stared at Alice.“Did you report me?” Chloe believed only Alice would do
this.
Alice smirked, “What are you talking about? Why would I report you?” Of course, Alice wouldn’t admit it.
Chloe cried out as

Ethan looked at Alice.“Alice, tell the truth. Did you do this? Why would you be so cruel to your own family?”
Alice sneered, “Cruel? I didn’t force Chloe to cheat.”
Chloe looked down guiltily. She thought, “I need a solution to go through this. I can use the Welch family’s compassion toward me. After all, my father has saved Alice’s life. The Welch family should be grateful!
