Chapter 234 Chloes face was ashen ; she couldnt answer .
She trembled , I … I didnt say anything .
Dont frame me ! If Blake found out , she was finished .
Seeing Chloes obvious fear , Alice guessed what had happened .
I remember when you were almost killed by those thugs in the alley , Alice said to Blake .
Alice , you remember ! Dont you feel guilty ? Blake demanded .
Why should I feel guilty ? I ran to get help , and I bumped into Chloe .
The thugs caught up , threatening us to reveal your location .
Blakes face hardened .
Alice , you told them where I was , didnt you? Chloe told them , not me .
If I hadnt stopped Chloe from revealing your location and led them in the opposite direction , youd be dead .
Alice remembered ; after that incident , Blakes attitude .
toward her had soured , while he became increasingly protective of Chloe .
Shed assumed Chloe had stolen another brother , never understanding the reason .
Blake looked at Chloe .
Is that true ? Brother , its not like that .
Alice was scared and wanted to tell them where you were ; I stopped her .
I secretly found you and took you to the hospital , Chloe said , her face pale .
She couldnt admit the truth .
No one would believe Alice after all these years .
Blake fell silent .
Jack looked at Chloe .
You say Alice gave away Blakes location .
Why didnt the thugs go there , but you did ? Chloe stammered , I tricked the thugs away .
How ? What was Alice doing ? Jack pressed .
Chloes voice was shaky .
I … I dont remember .
Alice was scared and ran away , saying she didnt know Four , claiming I was his real sister .
Alice scoffed .
Chloe , you still lie so easily .
Im not lying .
You cant remember what you did , but you remember what Alice did .
Alice stared at Chloe .
You cant say anything because I led the thugs away .
You cant reveal that ! Revealing that would expose her .
Chloes nostrils flared with cold sweat .
No , I really dont remember .
Four , please believe me .
Blake looked at Chloe , then at Alice .
Theres no proof .
Why should I believe you ? Youre trying to destroy me now ; how can I believe you didnt abandon me then ? He still didnt believe Alice had saved him .
Alices tone was cold .

Chloes story has no proof either , yet you believed her .
It wasnt about proof ; it was about trust .
Blake looked at Alice , his expression grim .
You say you led the thugs away .
How did you escape ? They were dangerous ; how could a girl like you get away ? Alices expression turned somber .
After a pause , she said , It wasnt a good memory .
Jack took her hand .
If you dont want to .
to talk about it , you dont have 17:39 66.7 % Chapter 234 Alice nodded .
Right .
Its pointless anyway .
I regret what I did .
I should have just left Her sarcastic tone infuriated Blake .
you there .
Alice , youre saying this because you cant explain what happened , right ? Blake challenged .
Chloe added fuel to the fire .
Alice , Four couldnt fight those thugs ; how did you , a girl , escape ? It doesnt make sense .
I was caught .
They threatened me , demanding I call someone to pay for my release , Alice said , looking at Blake .
I didnt call you .
I called another Windham family member .
Blakes lips tightened .
Who ? Second Brother ? Chloe chimed in , Second Brother always favors Alice .
Shed deny anything related to Noah .
Alice looked at Chloe with a smirk .
Sadly , youre youre wrong .
I called Ethan .
Chloes blood drained .
What now ? Ethan arrived , getting out of his car .
Alice , are you finally regretful ? Did you want to call me ? Alice turned to Ethan .
I have a question .
I havent carried this burden for years for nothing .
What is it ? Remember when Four almost died in that alley ? Ethan nodded .
Yes .
You led the thugs away , giving Four a chance to escape .
You were caught and threatened to call for your release .
I was out of town when I called you ; I came and rescued you .
Silence fell .
Chloe trembled , taking several steps back .
She had to run .
Alice turned to Blake .
Did you hear that ? You didnt believe me or Second Brother .
But you must believe Ethan .
Blake was stunned .
This was impossible .
He looked at Chloe , who was hiding in the corner , and roared , You b **** , come here ! Explain this ! Chloe tried to flee but was caught .
She sobbed , Four , I … I didnt know Alice led them away .
Why did you lie ? Blake grabbed her hair , his eyes bloodshot .
Why had she deceived him ? Hed been kept in the dark for years ! Chloe cried out in pain .
Four , I … I was just speculating .
Alice didnt tell you this then .
Why is she only saying it now ? Blake looked at Alice .
Why didnt you tell me then ? Alice looked at Ethan sarcastically .
Because Mr.
Windham said he would tell you .
Ethan looked uneasy .
I must have forgotten .
Theyre siblings ; Chloe saved Four , so I didnt think it mattered .
Brother , you ruined me ! Blakes voice was choked with emotion .
Because of this misunderstanding , hed been cruel to Alice , using Chloe to torment her .
And it was all a lie ! Chloe had lied to him for years .
Blake looked at Alice , his lips trembling .
I … I didnt know you saved me .
Could she forgive him ? This chapter reveals the truth behind the childhood incident , highlighting Chloes deception and the misunderstanding that fueled Blakes animosity towards Alice .
The Americanized setting and colloquial language remain consistently applied .
