Chapter 274
Alice’s eyes turned icy at Ethan’s words.
She wouldn’t tolerate that kind of disrespect towards Jack.
She looked at Ethan. “I’ll say this one last time. Jack is the man I love?
“You’re too young to know what love is! You’re in Washington, with the Welches backing You’l marry a wealthy heir, not a poor school doctor!”
Ethan was angry that Alice hadn’t broken up with Jack.
Alice scoffed. “Who I marry is none of your business.”
“It is! You’re my sister. Your marrying a poor man will embarrass met
Ethan had plans for his sisters.
Staying in Washington meant marrying into wealth. It was beneficial to the Welch family, Chloe timidly spoke, “Alice, Ethan’s thinking of your future. Marrying a poor man is no good” Though Chloe wanted Alice to marry a poor man, saying so would only make Alice defiant Alice’s voice was sharp.“Should I be like you, fawning over Garrett, sleeping with him, only to be rejected and insulted by Mrs. Yates?”
Chloe’s face paled.“What are you talking about? Garrett and I are innocent.”
“Only a fool would believe that. Garrett’s been bragging about sleeping with you and taking your virginity.”
Ethan, enraged, slapped Chloe.“How can you do that?”
Chloe was shocked by his sudden change of attitude.
Ethan, furious, demanded, “Chloe, speak!”
Chloe stammered, “Ethan, Garrett tricked me.”
“I told
you, date if you want, but don’t sleep around! Did you ignore me?”
Alice added fuel to the fire.“Chloe, everyone knows you chased Garrett, throwing yourself at him.”
Chloe burst into tears.“Ethan, I’ll get back together with Garrett.”
Alice sneered, “Mrs. Yates has two bodyguards following Garrett, preventing you from approaching him. Their attitude is clear.”
Ethan looked at Chloe, disappointed.“How can I plan your future?”
Chloe glared at Alice.“At least I tried. But Alice, as the heiress, prefers a poor school doctor.”
“You both cause trouble.”
Ethan rubbed his temples.“Chloe, forget Garrett. His family’s too high–class. I’ll find

suitable match. You’ll be well provided for.”
Chloe was resentful. She didn’t want a poor husband, but she dared not object.
Ethan turned to Alice.“Break up with that… gold digger.”
“Jack isn’t a gold digger. And I’m wealthy. I don’t need a wealthy marriage. Ethan, I’m not as reckless as you!”
She alluded to Ethan being the Parker family’s matrilocal son–in–law.
Ethan exploded.“Alice, say that again!”
Mer
“I’m not you. I won’t sacrifice myself for a marriage. Being a kept man isn’t easy, is it? That’s why you don’t tell the family!”
Ethan thought she dared not speak. He was wrong.
Ethan’s eyes were red with anger. “I did all this for the family, so you’d be comfortable. Was I wrong?”
“The Welches don’t lack anything now. It’s your ambition.”
Alice saw through Ethan’s scheme to marry into the Parker family.
Alice went upstairs.
Ethan raged in the hall, humiliated by Alice’s words.
Chloe said, “Ethan, don’t be angry…”
“Get out! You’re all causing trouble!”
Ethan scolded Chloe and stormed off.
Chloe was stunned by his outburst.
Caleb smirked.“Ethan’s pride is paramount. Being exposed, his pride is hurt.”
Noah agreed. They knew about Ethan’s engagement with the Parker family but hadn’t mentioned it for Ethan’s sake.
Chloe, clutching her face, said pitifully, “Noah, Alice’s been with that gold digger for a while. What if he manipulates her?”
Noah’s expression darkened. He would stop it.
Caleb countered, “At least Alice has money. You had nothing and chased after Garrett. You’re a gold digger.”
After that, Caleb left.
Chloe, furious, looked at Noah for help. But Noah said, “Caleb is right. Be more self–respecting The Yates family is not for someone of your background.”
Chloe’s eyes were red with anger. But Noah, Caleb, and Luke all left.
No one spoke for her or cared about her.

Her father was right. She wasn’t family. They only cared for Alice
Chloe wouldn’t be polite anymore.
The next day, Alice woke early.
Only Noah was there. “They’ve left for the auction. I wave for you”
Hearing this, Alice went to have breakfast.
Noah hesitated.“Is that man so good?”
“When you
all treated me badly, he was the only one there. And he’s not a gold &gger?
Noah hesitated.“Let me see him sometime.”
“No need. Your opinions don’t matter.”
Alice didn’t consider herself a Welch. They weren’t her brothers.
Noah, seeing her displeasure, said nothing.
Alice went to the auction after breakfast. She saw Chloe decked in designer clothes and expensive nails, bossing employees around.
Alice approached.“Chloe, are you crazy? Didn’t I tell you to change the venue?”
“There is no time. And I think it looks good.”
Chloe smirked.“Alice, you don’t know it. Let me handle it.”
Alice yanked Chloe’s fur coat to the ground.
Chloe was distraught.“What are you doing? It’s expensive!”
“This is a charity auction, not a fashion show! You look like a wannabe influencer. What will people think?”
Noah said sternly, “Chloe, change your clothes. Follow Alice’s instructions.”
“Noah, I’m in charge!”
Noah looked at the manager.“Get Chloe out! Follow Alice’s instructions. She’s in charge.”
“Who dares touch her?”
Ethan arrived with his people, glaring at Alice.“I know you dislike Chloe. You want to kick her out. But you’re going too far. I’m still alive!”
