Chapter 295
Alice was taken aback by Julia Garcia’s words.
She smiled.“Miss Garcia, I know who my boyfriend is.” Jack’s character didn’t need anyone’s judgment.
Julia Garcia hesitated, wanting to reveal the truth but stopping herself. She couldn’t simply tell Alice his identity; it wouldn’t be fair. Any woman finding out her boyfriend was the Tremaine heir would be ecstatic, making it harder for Alice to let go–not the outcome Julia Garcia wanted.
Alice watched Julia Garcia’s changing expression. “What are
expression. “What are you trying to say?” “Nothing. I was meddling.” Julia Garcia’s eyes held malice. Since the foundation incident hadn’t hurt Alice, she needed another approach.
They exited the elevator and headed in the same direction, stopping at the same private room. Julia Garcia looked surprised.“You’re here too?*
“Yes, what a coincidence. Are you here to see Mrs. Chen too?”
“Yes.”
Julia Garcia entered; Alice followed, seeing Ethan and a distinguished woman–Mrs.
Chen–seated. Lewis and Chloe were probably still outside.
Julia Garcia went to Mrs. Chen; Alice remained where she was.
Ethan approached Alice.“Go say hello.”
Alice whispered, “What does Mrs. Chen want?”
Nothing. She wants to meet you. Just offer a toast. Look at Miss Garcia.” Ethan sighed. “You’re so strong at home, but you’re timid here?”
Alice felt uncomfortable with his fawning
his fawning attitude. Her eyes were sarcastic.
Ethan realized something and fell silent.
Mrs. Chen looked at Alice.“This is Ms. Alice. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Alice raised her glass.“Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Chen.”
“I didn’t expect Ms. Alice and Garrett to be so close. He hasn’t mentioned it.” Mrs. Chen sounded probing. Garrett had called, asking her to help Alice and not interfere. He wasn’t usually so helpful. Did he like Alice?
Alice replied calmly,“Garrett and I are friends.” She said nothing more to avoid involving Jack.
Mrs. Chen was unhappy; Alice hadn’t revealed anything.
Julia Garcia sensed the tension.“Mrs. Chen, Ms. Alice is straightforward, as Mrs. Wilson said.”
“Mrs. Wilson knows Ms. Alice?”
“Yes, she endorsed Ms. Alice’s club membership. Mrs. Wilson likes Ms. Alice. But at the club, she was tricked by the supplier and expelled from our charity. Now that the supplier’s scandal is out, we realized Ms. Alice was innocent.”
Mrs. Chen was surprised that Mrs. Wilson had interceded. Because of Mrs. Wilson, she didn’t trouble Alice.
Mrs. Chen looked at Ethan.“Your sister is resourceful. So many people are helping her. Why did

you invite me to dinner?”
Ethan was embarrassed. “Mrs. Chen, my sister is young and doesn’t understand…” “Since Mrs. Wilson is involved, I should greet her. Enjoy your meal.” Mrs. Chen left with Julia
Garcia.
Only Ethan and Alice remained.
Ethan stared at Alice, incredulous.“I didn’t expect your relationship with Garrett to be so close. Mrs. Wilson even sent Miss Garcia to intercede. He realized he’d underestimated his sister.
Alice was calm.“If you’re done, I’ll leave.” She didn’t want to explain.
“Alice, wait!” Ethan was anxious but softened.”Alice, we’re family. No one will blame the Lands. Why are you targeting Chloe?”
Alice’s eyes turned cold.“The conditions for not pursuing charges against Chloe are clear.” Ethan had to admit in front of Lewis that he’d avoided responsibility for the amputation by not answering the phone.
“Alice, must you humiliate me? I’m your brother! Do I need to apologize to my brother?” Ethan was proud, especially in front of his siblings. Admitting it would ruin his authority. Jack burst in, pushing Ethan aside.“You avoided responsibility, blaming Alice for years. carried that burden. How shameless are you?”
Jack’s words were sharp.
She
Ethan mumbled, “You’re an outsider. You can’t interfere in our family matters.”
“He’s not an outsider;“you” are,” Alice said, defending Jack.
Ethan raged,“Alice, don’t think your connections change your status. If you weren’t the Land heiress, Garrett or Mrs. Wilson wouldn’t care about you.” Alice was getting too arrogant.
Jack said coldly, “Even if you tried, they wouldn’t care about you.”
Ethan’s face turned red.
Alice held Jack’s hand.“Lewis’s problem is solved. But I’ll still pursue the foundation matter.” She wouldn’t let Chloe off easily. Bringing Lewis back wouldn’t change the outcome.
Ethan broke down.“Alice, must you humiliate me?”
Jack threw a glass.“When you made Alice, a child, decide on the amputation, did you think about your reputation? You’re shameless!”
Alice said, “I carried that burden for years; now it’s your turn.” She had to get even. Ethan always favored Chloe; now she was forcing him to do something he didn’t
Alice left with Jack. She leaned on him.“Why did you come? Weren’t you worried?”
“Yes, I was worried you’d be bullied.” After calling Garrett, Jack had come looking for Alice; Mrs. Chen had already left.
“No one bullied me. Mrs. Chen only said a few things.”
The elevator opened, and Alice saw three women: Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Chen, and Julia Garcia.

Comments
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...
