Chapter 290 past life , That statement was like a nuclear bomb .
Alice was stunned .
This wasnt right .
In her Chloe had married Garrett and become a wealthy socialite .
What changed ? Ethan seemed angry .
Lewis , what are you doing ? Everyone knows Chloe is our adopted sister .
Are you trying to cause gossip ? Hed known Lewis liked Chloe , but hed assumed that after all these years , hed moved on .
Chloe remained silent , her head bowed .
Lewis was her only hope .
Her father hadnt contacted her , so she needed a backup plan .
Luckily , Lewis still liked her .
Lewis said , Chloe is just our adopted sister ; she has no blood relation to the Lands .
Ive liked her for years .
If my leg hadnt been injured , I wouldnt have waited until now to say this .
Alice found it strange .
Chloe , in Alices understanding , despised the Lands and wanted to marry into wealth .
Why would she agree to be with Lewis now ? Unless it was to escape the repercussions of the kickback scandal .
The The white white lotus was truly desperate .
Ethan was hesitant .
This isnt appropriate .
Its perfectly appropriate .
Chloe and I love each other .
Ethan looked at Chloe in surprise .
Wasnt she dating that Garrett guy ? Chloe quickly explained , Garrett and I broke up .
He lied to me .
She wouldnt mention their continued secret relationship .
Ethan remained unconvinced .
Alice found the excuse flimsy .
But Lewis looked at Alice .
Alice , Chloe will be your sister in law , a member of our family .
Yo cant treat your own family like this .
Alice clapped her hands .
How dramatic ! She hadnt expected this move from Chloe .
She wanted to tell Lewis shed signed a severance agreement with the Lands and didnt care who Chloe was with .
But that was before .
Shed returned to the Land family to expose the people behind Chloe .
Giving up now would ruin everything .
Alice said impassively , What does it matter to me ? Shes not marrying me .
Alice , if you drop the charges , well forget about you making the amputation decision .
Lewiss tone was arrogant .
Chloe , with reddened eyes , choked back tears .
Fifth brother , I cant let you suffer like this .
Since I made the mistake , I should take the punishment .
No , Chloe , I wont let you go to jail .

Ill protect you .
Believe me .
Lewis held Chloes hand , looking deeply affectionate .
He turned to Alice .
What do you say ? Alice was speechless ; she hadnt expected Lewis to like Chloe .
But Lawrence spoke .
Fifth brother , I dont understand .
What does your amputation have to do with Alice ? Big brother didnt want to take responsibility , so he didnt answer Alices calls , forcing her to sign for the amputation .
Lawrences words were another bomb .
Alice exclaimed , Is that true ? It explained why Ethan hadnt answered the phone during the emergency .
What was more important than his brothers life ? Its true .
Second brother told me personally .
Alice looked at Ethan with sarcasm .
That look enraged him ; he threw a glass at Lawrence .
What 82.6 % Chades 20 hansense are you talking about ? When did I do that ? Alice sneered .
Then lets call Second brother and ask .
She called Nathan , but it went to voicemail , though she was almost certain Lawrence was telling the truth .
Lawrence , indignant , looked at Ethan Big brother , am I wrong ? Ethan , guilty , stammered , You misheard me .
I regretted not answering Alices call , leading to your fifth brothers amputation .
Alice asked , What if you had answered ? Ethan hesitated .
I would have considered it carefully .
What if not amputating would have killed him ? Ethan was speechless ; the only option was amputation to save his life , but he couldnt say that .
He finally retorted , Who knows what would have happened ? Right , who knows ? But you all blame me ! Is that fair ? Alice exclaimed .
Ill make the foundation hold Chloe accountable .
Well see if shes invincible ! Alice went upstairs .
The hall fell silent .
Lawrence said sarcastically , Big brother , you disappoint me .
Ill contact Second brother to clarify the truth and prevent Alice from taking the blame .
Youre out of line ! Who gave you permission to talk to me like that ? Ethan was flustered ; everyone was siding with Alice ! The past was the past ; did the truth matter ? After Lawrence left , only three remained .
Lewis approached Ethan .
Big brother , Chloe and I are together .
Will you just watch her get arrested ? Ethan looked at Chloe .
Did she really agree to be with you and marry you ? He felt guilty about Lewiss disability .
Hed always indulged Lewis , but he never expected him to like Chloe .
Lewis said happily , Chloe agreed , so I rushed back .
What if shes lying ? Ethan wasnt stupid .
He felt Chloe had changed , becoming more cunning and ambitious .
That wasnt the problem ; it was using her family to escape punishment that disgusted him .
Lewis immediately held Chloes hand .
Chloe isnt that kind of person .
Chloe lowered her head .
Big brother , I only realized how good Fifth brother is to me after going through so much .
I truly know I was wrong .
Please help me .
She knew Ethan could find a solution , appease the Chens , but he was too proud to do so for her .
So , shed brought Lewis back .
Ethan rubbed his temples .
Let me think .
He left .
After Ethan left , Chloe pulled her hand back and forced a smile .
Fifth brother , rest .
Ill make you something to eat .
Chloe , after leaving Lewis , repeatedly washed her hands in the kitchen .
She didnt want to marry a cripple .
She was just using Lewis .
She contacted her father , but his phone was off .
Her father better solve this .
The next day , Alice was awakened by a call .
Mandy apologized .
Sorry to bother you so early .
The supplier has problems .
18:30 82.6 % Chapter 200 Did he die ? Alice instinctively thought this .
No , but the supplier exposed kickback scandals with various foundations .
Hes been arrested .
And we saw the car from the 4S store again , and we got a picture of the driver .
Send me the picture .
Alices heart pounded .
