Chapter 236
Caleb’s grip on Chloe’s throat tightened. He wanted to kill her.
Caleb opposed Ethan bringing Chloe into the family.
As expected, Chloe became a menace!
Alice’s estrangement from the family was largely due to Chloe’s manipulation.
Chloe’s face turned purple. She couldn’t speak.
The manager in the passenger seat urged Caleb, “Let go! What if you kill her?”
Caleb released Chloe, who then gasped for air. Her throat and lungs were burning with pain. Chloe thought she was going to die.
If murder wasn’t illegal, Caleb would have killed her.
Panicked, Chloe stammered, “Caleb, I was young and foolish. I said the wrong things. Please forgive me.”
“Kneel,” Caleb said coldly.
Glaring at Chloe, he turned on his phone’s video recorder.“Apologize to Alice sincerely, or I’ll make you suffer.”
Chloe knelt, clutching her dress.
She was furious.
If she could contact her father, she would have Caleb killed.
Ethan knew Caleb would resort to violence, yet he still forced Chloe to apologize.
The Welch family’s attitude toward Chloe soured. She needed an escape route.
Chloe assumed that it was time to meet her supposedly deceased father.
Caleb slapped Chloe when she remained silent.“Apologize! Are you deaf?”
Chloe, dizzy from the blow, whimpered as she covered her cheeks, “It was my fault. I lied. Alice, please forgive me. It’s not Caleb’s fault. It’s all my fault. I lied to him.”
Caleb grabbed Chloe’s hair.“I said speak to the camera! Apologize properly!”
Chloe’s scalp was in pain, but she dared not resist. Otherwise, she would be beaten to death.
Chloe had seen Caleb attack Alice. He was merciless.
After Chloe got beaten, Caleb’s anger
subsided.
He then kicked her.“Don’t think you can replace Alice as the heiress of the Welch family. You’re an outsider, a pet we keep.”
Chloe’s eyes darkened as she hung her head.

She would get revenge. She wouldn’t let Caleb get away with this.
Caleb told the driver,“Stop.”
Caleb looked at Chloe with disgust.“Get out. I’ll give you a day to apologize to Alice and earn her forgiveness. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer what she suffered.”
“I know.”
Chloe scrambled out of the car. Caleb threw her high heels out of the window, like discarding trash.
Chloe picked up her expensive shoes.
As she watched Caleb drive away, her resolve hardened.
The Welch family favored Alice. Chloe needed a backup plan.
Chloe dialed the mysterious number. She had planned to replace Alice and live as the heiress of the Welch family, without involving her father.
But now, things were different.
A middle–aged man answered, “My dear daughter, what do you need?”
“Let’s meet. I’ll consider your proposal. We’ll work together to ruin the Welch family.”
Covered with bruises, Chloe was consumed by hatred.
She wanted the Welch family to regret their actions and beg for her forgiveness.
“Good. Let’s meet now. I’m free. Do as I told you to avoid being noticed.”
“You’re overthinking it. No one is following me. The Welch family doesn’t value me. Your death didn’t change their hearts!” Chloe sobbed.
She suffered so much, yet Alice’s departure made her brothers regret their actions.
Resentment welled up inside Chloe.
She had done more than Alice, yet her efforts went unnoticed.
“It’s good you see it now. I told you not to be stubborn, but you chose the Welch family. Now you suffer. We’re family.”
“I know now. I’ll make the Welch family regret this.”
Chloe’s eyes burned with rage. She wouldn’t forgive the Welch family, including Alice.
Alice and Jack returned to the hospital.
She was affected by learning Caleb’s cruelty stemmed from believing she had abandoned him.
It was absurd.
Caleb would rather believe Chloe than her.

Jack looked at Alice.“But I want to make it up to you?
“You haven’t done anything wrong,” Alice said,
Jack was so nice to her.
Looking up at Jack, who was so close to her, Alice said, “Jack, I really like you”
She tiptoed closer.
Jack gently cupped her face as he sighed, “Let me take the lead next time?
He kissed Alice’s forehead tenderly.
Alice hugged Jack, resting her side face on his chest. “Can’t we both take the lead?” the murmured
“I want to give more,” Jack whispered,
“You don’t have to. I’m not greedy.” Alice nuzzled into his chest.
In Alice’s past life, she longed for her brothers‘ love and happiness.
But she got nothing.
This time, Alice would live for herself, finding more happiness than she had ever known.
Jack’s phone rang repeatedly as they hugged.
Blushing, Alice reminded him, “You have calls. Maybe it’s something important.”
Jack reluctantly let go.“I have a meeting. I’ll be back later.”
“Okay.”
Alice watched him leave and touched her flushed face.
She wondered, “Is this what dating feels like?”

She checked her phone on the bed, finding Caleb had sent her a video of Chloe’s forced apology.
Alice smirked sarcastically after watching it.
Caleb and Chloe finally fell out.
The PR team entered.
Elena said, “Ms. Welch, we have been following the Welch family. After Chloe was dismissed from the car, she met someone at a café.”
“Who?”
Elena sent Alice a photo.“We only got a profile shot. He was cautious. Look.”
Alice turned pale at the sight of the picture.
The man looked strikingly like Chloe’s father!
