Chapter 247
Alice found Ethan’s words ridiculous.
A lesson for her?
She said coldly, “You could’ve given Chloe other compensation, but you gave her the charity foundation on purpose. It was established by our parents. How could you give it to an outsider?”
“Chloe’s father died trying to save our parents. She has been obedient, and she suffered a lot. She deserves this compensation, Ethan replied.
Alice scoffed, “Are you sure Chloe’s father died trying to save our parents?*
“Of course! I’ve looked into it many times. Alice, I know why you keep doubting. You just don’t want to repay her, do you?”
Ethan enjoyed Alice’s anger.
Alice had been too smug lately, as if she had nothing to care about. She took a heavy toll on the Welch family.
Luke’s investment in his team failed, resulting in massive losses.
If Caleb got banned, he was gonna lose a lot more money.
Ethan had put many efforts into the Welch Group for years, and he would not let it suffer
any loss.
He knew that Alice would care about the foundation.
Alice asked through her gritted teeth, “Did you do so intentionally?”
“Yes. So what? You wanted to cut ties with the Welch family, didn’t you? Then, its assets are none of your concern.”
Ethan was determined to take Alice down a
peg or two.
He continued, “If you continue to fight against us and insist on suing Caleb, I’ll give everything our parents left to Chloe. It’s what we owe her.”
“How dare you!”
Alice was furious.
Was Ethan insane?
Ethan smirked and said, “Then you can wait and see. Since you don’t care about the Welch family’s interests, why should I care about yours? As you have left home, Chloe now becomes the other daughter of our parents. She can inherit everything.”
“Mom and Dad left me those things! You have no right to

Ethan had done the same in her previous life, but this time she would not yield. “They only made a verbal promise and passed away without leaving a will. Even if you sue, it’s useless.”

Alice looked at her phone and trembled with rage.
She had underestimated Ethan’s shamelessness.
He resorted to every trick to force her into submission.
If Chloe had a good life, the person behind her would never come to light.
Alice took a deep breath. She needed a plan.
She would not let Chloe take anything that her parents had given her, nor would she let the culprit get away.
Alice went to class in a rage, her thoughts racing. She needed some time to come up with a good plan.
She needed to consult the lawyer about this matter to see if what Ethan had said was true or not. She could hardly concentrate in.class.
After class, Alice headed straight to the team’s base to seize time to train.
Surprisingly, when she walked in, she saw Max and a beautiful woman in good shape.

Alice recognized the woman, whom she had seen in the hospital after she had been injured in a car accident. The woman seemed to know Andrew.
Max angrily raised her chin at Alice and said, “Julia, she’s here.”
Julia went up to Alice and held out her hand. “Hello again. I’m Max’s elder sister.”
Alice was a little shocked and wondered, “It turns out that she is Max’s elder sister.”
She also reached out her hand and said, “What a coincidence!”
“I heard about the misunderstanding between you and Max. I’m here as I want to have a talk with you. Since you know Andrew, we’re also friends.”
Alice didn’t consider herself friends with Julia.
“My conflict with Max is resolved,” she replied politely.
The Garcia family stopped targeting her, so she didn’t release the video of Max bullying others. They reached a peaceful situation.
But Alice was not that naive. She didn’t believe Julia was here to reconcile.
She knew clearly that the Garcia family didn’t think highly of her.
Julia wore a smile and said, “Max impulsively canceled the sponsorship without telling us. I am here to talk about it. The García family has sponsored you for years, we won’t just cancel it.”
“Thank but we’ve found a new sponsor.”
you,
Just as Alice refused, Max said, “Alice, Julia comes here in person. How dare you be this arrogant!”
Julia stopped her.“Max, watch your language.”
“Julia, you’ve shown her respect. How dare she reject you!” Max said angrily.
Max could hardly control her temper.
Alice looked at Julia and said, “Let’s talk about sponsorship another time.”
Alice didn’t refuse her completely, showing her respect to Julia.
Then, she went to have training.
Julia watched Alice play games and had to admit that she was good at it.
It occurred to Julia that Jack used to be skilled as well. If the car accident hadn’t happened, he probably would still be in the industry.
“Julia, what makes you here suddenly?”
Max had always admired Julia and wanted to be like her.
Julia replied with a meaningful tone, “I’m a little curious about why you had conflicts with her at the start of the semester.”
Had Alice already known Jack’s identity and deliberately targeted Max?
“Julia, she’s extremely arrogant. She looked down on the business school. So I taught her a lesson. I heard she was with the school doctor in high school. They’re still together now. She is a dissolute woman.”
“She dated the school doctor in high school?”
“Yes. You don’t need to be nice to her,” Max said.
Julia was glad to know it.
Jack likely hadn’t revealed his identity to Alice. He was probably wary of her.
Julia decided to tell Amber about it.
Although Amber was just Jack’s stepmother, she cared deeply about him. If Jack was with a girl with a bad reputation, others would think
Amber was not kind to him.
Max whispered, “Julia, John said your engagement to Jack was false. Why didn’t you issue a statement to explain it? I’m being ridiculed because
of it.”
Julia’s smile faded.

She pretended to be calm.“No need to defend myself. I’m going to marry Jack, not John.” “But I saw Jack leaving a bar with a woman. Is he in a relationship with someone else?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Julia hid Alice’s relationship with Jack from Max. She didn’t want Alice to be vigilant in advance.
It dawned on her why the Garcia family had been in trouble lately.
Jack learnt what Max had done to Alice and thus coped with the Garcia family to help Alice vent her anger.
***
Julia felt a sudden chill run down her back. As Jack had not revealed his identity to Alice, he was not serious about her. Julia thought she still had a chance.
She was the one who was worthy of Jack.
After a while, Julia and Max left.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief when seeing them leave. She wondered, “What is the Garcia family planning?”
She received a reply from Billy. The latter told her she needed someone to prove the existence of her parents‘ will, preferably one of her elder brothers.
Alice thought of Noah. He was probably the only one who would help her with that.
She hesitated for a while before calling Noah.
Surprisingly, it was Ethan who answered. He said, “Alice, I didn’t expect you to call Noah. Do you want him to help you? No way!”
