Chapter 266
As Alice reached the door, Ethan followed.
“Alice, stop!”
“Your words don’t hold weight. I have no reason to stay. Alice showed no respect. Ethan’s face tightened.“I must have misheard. I misunderstood about who hit you.” If Alice left, what would happen with Caleb and Luke Luke? He couldn’t bear the responsibility. Alice smirked.“Did you mishear, ог did someone deliberately mislead you?”
Ethan’s voice softened. “Does it matter?”
“It matters! You always glossed over things, but I’m not tolerating it anymore. We need to clarify.” Caleb pulled Chloe forward. He glared at her.“Repeat what you told Big Brother.” Chloe nervously looked at Ethan. “Big Brother, I… I didn’t say Alice hit
Ethan.“Big me.” Ethan felt uneasy. While Chloe hadn’t explicitly blamed Alice, her tone implied it.
He said to Alice, “I misheard. Is that better?”
“Brother, since you misheard, apologize to Alice.” Noah stepped forward. “You assumed Alice was wrong. That’s
your fault. Alice suffered because of our assumptions. Don’t let it happen again.”
Ethan was reluctant. He was the eldest brother; why should he apologize?
Chloe saw Ethan’s hesitation. “Big Brother is Big Brother. It’s my fault. I misled him. I’ll apologize.”
Ethan felt relieved; he’d been prejudiced against Chloe.
As Chloe approached Alice, Alice slapped her. Chloe was stunned.
Alice rubbed her wrist.”Since you apologized, it’s your fault. The slap is for your own good.”
Chloe screamed, “For my good?”
“Yes. Your vague statements cause misunderstandings. I’m helping you. Be grateful.” Alice helped Chloe up, saying sweetly, “Don’t speak vaguely. I don’t want to hit you again.”
Chloe felt a chill run down her spine. This Alice was more intimidating. What was she up to? She looked at Ethan.“Big Brother!”
Ethan coughed.“Alice’s right. She helped you up; she wants to get along Chloe was furious. Alice’s actions showed no sign of reconciliation. But she didn’t dare argue. Alice deliberately wiped her hands on Chloe’s clothes. Chloe’s head swam with rage. Alice was pretending to reconcile to take everything.
They returned to the dining hall. The butler approached.“Sir, shall we serve dinner?”
Alice’s
gaze hardened
upon seeing him. He was in San Francisco.
The butler, noticing her stare, avoided her eyes.
At the table, Chloe went to pull out a chair when Alice sat down. Thank Chloe said angrily, “That’s my seat!”
Is it? I prefer this seat.” Alice refused to move.

Caleb said, “Chloe, Alice’s just returned. Be accommodating.”
Noah added,“Any seat is fine. Chloe, sit here.”
Chloe burst into tears. She used to steal Alice’s seat, and her brothers would defend her. Now, it was her turn.
Ethan remained silent. Chloe reluctantly moved, feeling humiliated.
Alice noticed Chloe’s resentment. Perfect.
The butler served the meal. Alice dropped her chopsticks. “Butler, what’s wrong with the kitchen? This food is awful. Don’t you welcome me back?”
The butler retorted, “Miss Windham, the chef prepared these dishes.”
“I find them inedible.” Alice gaze was sarcastic. “You’re incompetent. We need a new butler.”
Chloe intervened. “But the butler has worked here for over ten years. Everyone’s used to him. Why replace him?”
“He changed the door code and altered Mom and Dad’s belongings. He’s unsuitable.” Alice was firm.“I don’t want to see him.”
Ethan looked to Noah.
Noah said, “If Alice doesn’t like him, let’s replace him. He’s worked here for ten years. He can return home. Brother, what do you think?”
Ethan considered it a trivial matter. Before, he would’ve made Alice yield. But now, angering her meant another conflict.
He nodded.“Fine.”
“Brother, don’t send the butler away!” Chloe panicked.
Ethan was impatient.“Chloe, be reasonable. He’s from our hometown; it’s best for him to return.” “But he’s like family! I don’t want him to leave~” She clung to Ethan, hoping for his sympathy. He pushed her away.“Do as Second Brother says.” It was just a butler.
Noah said to Chloe, “If you can’t bear to part with him, go back to our hometown with him. Chloe fell silent; she didn’t want to go home. Without the butler, she couldn’t manipulate things. The new servants were all fawning over Alice, ignoring her.
Chloe ate little, her face sullen. Alice, however, enjoyed her meal, fueled by Chloe’s misery. After dinner, Ethan said, “Since you’ve reconciled, drop the charges and clarify things publicly.”
“No rush.
rush. Slowly.” Alice wouldn’t blindly obey; Ethan would likely renege. She left the dining room. Ethan put down his chopsticks. “Alice’s temper is getting worse. Chloe, avoid her!”
Chloe ached with anger. She’d deal with Alice tonight. Otherwise, how could she stay?

The readers' comments on the novel: Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness (Alice)
This story is incomplete!!! You get us into the story then you leave us with a cliff hanger. Plus there's so many errors. It is obvious that English is second ( or 3rd) language. Author has mixed up names on several characters. Mixed up he/she , him/her. Made story too long by repetitive sentences. Made it look like the reader wasnt able to retain parts of the story by repeating certain aspects. I know authors do that but this author did it too often. This story lets you see what an eye for an eye would mean to some cultures. Needs MAJOR proof reading. Pro: great family drama. The one emotion you feel the most in this story is anger & discuss. There are a few funny (actually hilarious) parts in there. You want the good guy to win even though he may been at fault for something. You want justice for Alice and you want to see her independent from her brothers totally. I feel the author is on the right track but just needs to clean it up....
Except Alice's and Jack's names, all other names are mixed. And why there is LUKE'S FATHER instead of EATHEN...
I want yo ask that wht Alice's surname is keep on changing from Wolsh to Windham to Lu???? And Andrew to Garett? And Jane's name to Chloe as well...
