Chapter 265
Alice watched silently as Chloe’s face turned sullen.
Chloe said pitifully, “Caleb, I’m part of the Welch family, too.”
“You don’t belong here!”
Caleb rolled up the window, refusing to waste another word.
Alice walked over and glanced at Chloe.“You think your tricks will work forever? Unless you act that way your whole life. Too bad, you failed.”
Chloe’s expression darkened.
Chloe regretted not listening to her father and maintaining her pretense around Caleb.
But Caleb’s punches had been brutal. Caleb had been facing the stigma and the lawsuit from Alice.
Chloe thought he was finished, so she dropped the act. She never imagined Caleb and Alice would team up.
Alice got in the car, and it drove away, leaving Chloe alone.
Chloe stomped and fumed, “Once Dad and I drain the Welch family, I’ll make them pay!”
In the car, Alice looked at Chloe who was left on the roadside.“Aren’t you worried about her tattling?”
Chloe was a master at tattling.
Caleb hesitated.“Only Ethan is on her side. We all know what Chloe is.”
“Yeah. The boomerang hurts when it hits you. I get it,” Alice said sarcastically.
Then she kept silent.
Caleb hesitated.“The company… How will you handle it?”
“You can handle it. I don’t have time for the time being.”
Caleb was relieved. Alice was targeting Chloe, not him.
They arrived at the villa.
Alice hadn’t seen the house before. She lived in New York in her
past
life.
Alice got out of the car and saw the servants lining up.
Chloe arrived in the taxi and got out of the car in anger. She rushed past Alice to enter the villa.
“Welcome home!”
Chloe enjoyed the attention and smirked.
But it didn’t last. Chloe found her hair grabbed and pulled hard.

Caleb grabbed her hair and yanked her back.
Chloe cried out in pain.“Caleb, what are you doing?”
“Chloe, be clear of your place! This dinner is for Alice. Who do you think you are? How can you walk in front of her?”
Caleb pushed Chloe to the ground.
Chloe was publicly humiliated. Noticing the servants‘ smirks, Chloe said in a loud voice, “But I’m a Welch heiress! Why can’t I go first?”
She had been the only heiress in the family.
She was used to being the center of attention, but Alice’s return changed everything.
Caleb scoffed.“The Welches treated you equally, but your true intentions are clear. You don’t deserve our kindness.”
Remembering Chloe’s drastic change after taking over the company from Ethan, Caleb realized his past kindness to Chloe had been a mistake.
Chloe was too guilty to reply.
Chloe regretted not maintaining her act.
Caleb turned to look at Alice.“Let’s do this again.”
Alice observed everything and looked at Chloe.“Wanna replace me? You’re not qualified.”
Alice purposely provoked Chloe and walked into the villa.
“Welcome home, Ms. Alice!”
All the servants welcomed her in a loud voice.
Noah and Luke stood at the entrance with flowers.
Chloe watched, her eyes red with jealousy. It should have been hers. Why did Alice take it all?
The Welches were ingrates. Chloe’s kindness meant nothing compared to Alice’s blood relation to them.
Chloe demanded, “Help me! Are you
They ignored her, rushing inside.
Chloe limped in after them.
blind?”
Alice examined the villa.“The decoration is similar to that of the house in New York.”
Noah said, “Mom and Dad designed it. We kept it as is. Nothing has been changed.”
Alice felt a wave of nostalgia.
Noticing Chloe enter, she asked, “Where’s my room?”
Noah replied, “Upstairs. It’s ready.”

“Oh, someone will be homeless?”
Alice looked at Chloe and said in faked sympathy, “Unfortunately, this house was bought by Mom and Dad. The best room belongs to me.”
Chloe retorted in anger, ‘Ethan bought me an apartment as compensation.”
Ethan had indeed been kind to Chloe.
Seeing Chloe’s boast, Noah said, ‘Since Ethan bought you an apartment, you can move out of the house.”
Chloe’s face paled. She didn’t know what to say.
Caleb nodded. We’re not family. Living together isn’t appropriate.”
Chloe burst into tears, but no one comforted her.
Noah, Caleb, and Luke surrounded Alice. They all ignored Chloe.
Alice strolled upstairs and provocatively glanced at Chloe.
This was just the beginning.
In her bedroom, Alice felt a sense of irony.
She had never been in this room before. Chloe had occupied it.
Dinner time arrived.
Ethan returned home, and Chloe rushed out to greet him. Only Ethan was still kind to her in this family.
Noticing a scratch on Chloe’s arm, Ethan’s face darkened. “What happened?”
Chloe stammered, “Alice was angry because I accidentally walked ahead of her. Ethan, don’t blame her. She’s back. I didn’t want a conflict with her.”
“She’s outrageous! Does she think she can do whatever she wants?”
Ethan stormed into the hall.
Chloe smirked. As long as Ethan was on her side, she was safe.
Alice sat on the sofa and saw Ethan’s anger. Chloe must have complained about her.
Ethan said, “Alice, you’re causing trouble. Why did you hurt Chloe?”
Alice held a sarcastic expression and said nothing.
Caleb stood up, grabbed Chloe’s hair, and pushed her to the ground.
Chloe screamed.“Ethan!”
Ethan stared at Caleb. What are you doing?”
“Ethan, I’m showing you how Chloe got hurt. It was me, not Alice!” Ethan managed to say, “You shouldn’t have done that!

Alice laughed. It was amusing.
Ethan got enraged and looked at Alice.“Alice, how do you dare to laugh? This is all your fault!”
Alice slammed her cup down and said in an upset voice, “This family doesn’t welcome me. I’ll leave. The reconciliation is off.”
She left the villa.
Caleb said, “Ethan, if Luke and I go to jail, it’s because of you. You drove Alice away.”
Ethan got furious and went after Alice.
