Alice sat in the hall, asking Davis to make her coffee.
She smelled it and rejected it.“Make a new cup.”
Davis, seething but constrained, returned with a fresh cup.
When Alice reached for it, it was too hot. She spilled it on him.“Are you trying to scald me?”
Davis‘ eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly apologized, “Sorry, Ms. Alice. I didn’t mean to.”
Alice smirked. She’d done it on purpose.
Chloe approached.“Alice, Davis is old. Just have a servant make the coffee.”
“Isn’t he a servant? If you feel so bad for him, make the coffee yourself.”
“Alice, you’re clearly making things difficult for me.”
Chloe was speechless. She wouldn’t do it herself.
Alice sneered, “Yes, I don’t like him. I did it on purpose. Got a problem? Keep it to yourself!”
She wouldn’t tolerate anything or anyone that displeased her.
Chloe looked at Ethan, but he ignored her. She was furious. Shouldn’t he be supporting her?
Caleb mocked Chloe, “Want to be a good person? Just do his job.”
Chloe fell silent.
Alice said, “The charity auction is coming up, right? How’s the planning?”
Chloe reluctantly replied, “This weekend.”
‘Give me the plan. I need to review it for any necessary changes.”
It’s starting this weekend. There’s no time for changes.”
Alice smirked. I’m the boss. I decide. If you don’t want to be responsible, just quit!”
Chloe looked to Ethan for help.
Alice said, “The foundation is mine. I decide.”
Ethan coughed ‘Chloe, don’t get involved. It’s troublesome.”
No. I’ll see it through.”
She wouldn’t let the opportunity slip.
Seeing Chloe’s determination, Alice sneered to herself, “How greedy.
“She wants to steal the charity funds!”
Alice returned to her room.
She received a message from Jack: “Is the show over?”

Alice:“Almost. Dealing with an inconsiderate person makes life better.”
Alice started a video call.“Look, this is my parents‘ room.”
Jack saw the pink walls and childlike decorations.
His gaze deepened.“You were the apple of their eye.”
“Of course.”
She could feel their love.
After they chatted for a while, Chloe’s voice came from outside. “I’ve brought the plan.”
Alice said to Jack, “I’ll hang up.”
Opening the door, she received the documents.“It’s the document you need.”
“Did you write this?”
“Yes, all of it. Ethan approved it.”
“I see many problems. Changes are needed. I’ll tell you what to do. It must be done tonight!”
Chloe gritted her teeth.“Okay.”
Alice pointed out many problems, finally slamming the document onto Chloe’s face.“Fix it. Tonight!”
“Okay. Don’t lock your door. I’ll come back when it’s done.”
“Fine, get out.”
Alice watched her go, thoughtful.
Chloe’s face was grim when she went back to her room.

Davis entered with milk.“Ms. Black, we can’t wait. We need to act. Otherwise, things will
worse.”
“I know!”
Looking at the document, she said, “I have an idea. I don’t know if you’ll do it.”
“Just say it.”

“You’re being sent home tomorrow. Get revenge tonight. Alice is expecting me. She won’t lock her door.”
Her voice was venomous.“Pretend to be drunk and enter her room. Do whatever you want.”
Davis‘
eyes lit up, but he hesitated.“I heard Ms. Alice is skilled in martial arts.”
“I know. Have a servant send her the drugged milk. I’ll check if she drinks it when I deliver the revised plan. She can’t fight back.”
Chloe gloated. Alice would be ruined.
Davis hesitated.“I’ll go to prison. What will I do after losing my job?”

*I’ll give you money. Just say you were drunk. Ethan won’t send you to prison. He’ll just fire you.”
Chloe looked excitedly at him. “It’s a win–win cooperation. You’ve been single for so long. She’s a wealthy heiress. You won’t regret it.”
“You’re right.”
Davis rubbed his hands excitedly. “Ms. Black, I’ve always liked you.”
“I see you as an elder.”
Chloe’s eyes flashed with disgust, but she remained pleasant. You said we were equals in the Welch family, and you’d always support me. Still true?”
“Of course. I won’t change like the Welch family. I’ll always protect you.”
Davis grabbed her hand.
Chloe felt disgusted by his grey hair.
She’d once feared being dismissed and had deliberately fostered his infatuation. He’d helped her a lot.
Chloe withdrew her hand.“Have a drink and get ready. I’ll ring for you.”
“Okay.”
Davis kissed her hand and left.
Chloe immediately washed her hands. Once she ruined Alice, she’d never have to see Davis again. Tonight, Alice would be doomed.
Chloe sent the document to the assistant, scolding him, then felt relieved.
Hours later, she knocked on Alice’s door with the revised document.
It wasn’t locked, and Chloe went in.
Alice was gaming. When she saw Chloe, she said slowly, “Wait till I finish.”
Chloe looked at the empty milk glass.
It was perfect.
Alice yawned, seemingly tired.“I’ll check it later. Get out.”
“Okay.”
Chloe, triumphant, rushed out to call Davis.
She said excitedly,“Alice’s finished!”
“Are you so sure?”
