Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 194

Alice remembered being at Pear Garden before. Andrew Yates had treated them there.

Jack, unusually flustered, said stiffly, “Yeah, that’s the place we went to before.” Technically, Andrew Yates had

“treated” them.

Alice nodded. “That's why it sounded familiar.”

Chloe giggled.“Don’t pretend. That was a cheap knock-off Pear Garden, not the real one. With

Chloe had seen Alice and a man and decided to investigate. It was Alice and that broke-ass nurse. Good. Alice

was still with him, meaning no chance of snagging Garrett Yates. She was relieved.

Alice’s face was icy.“A meal is hardly worth bragging about. Are you that starved?”

“Why are you so angry? I'm just suggesting your boyfriend treats you better, not to cheap diners. Take him to a

nice restaurant, have sFrench food!”

Chloe was thrilled. Finally, something she could one-up Alice on. Her boyfriend had money. Alice’s boyfriend was

just a poor nurse, forever stuck in poverty!

“Chloe, with your pea brain, you can’t even tell good food from bad,” Alice shot back, grabbing Jack’s arm.“Let’s

go.” No need to listen to Chloe's nagging.

Jack glanced down, unprotesting, and left with Alice.

Chloe, unsatisfied, followed. “Alice, life’s hard when you run away from home, right? If you need money, just ask.”

Alice turned.“You should focus on sleeping your way to the top and keeping that rich boy happy. His mother’s not

a pushover.”

Chloe hadn't stolen Alice’s success or career this taround. What was the white lotus’s strategy

win over Garrett Yates’s difficult mother-in-law? It would be tough.

Chloe stamped her foot in anger. How did Alice know Garrett Yates’s mother disliked her? She'd sent a gift, but it

was returned with a nasty note saying they didn’t accept gifts of unknown origin. The message was clear: they

didn’t want her.

Chloe's face contorted with rage. She “had” to marry into the Yates family, beca socialite, and forever

surpass Alice.

A car horn blared. Garrett Yates pulled up in his sports car. Chloe ran over, flashing a sweet smile. “You're here!”

“Who were you talking to? You took so long.”

“Oh, I ran into Alice and her nurse boyfriend. | thought they broke up, but they're still together. Alice’s pretty

dedicated.” In New York like Washington, she still hadn't dumped that poor excuse for a boyfriend. How stupid.

Garrett Yates glanced down the alley, curious about Alice's boyfriend. What kind of date Alice? He must be blind!

He saw Alice and the tall man beside her. The man’s back looked familiar, but he wasn’t sure. It couldn't be...

Chloe suddenly covered Garrett Yates’s eyes, a touch of jealousy in her voice.“What are you looking at?” Don’t

Garren Yates sighed “Stop it.” But by the the looked up again, Alice and her companion were gone. He must

have been mistaken.

He reassured Chloe. “What was | looking at? Nobody's as pretty as my baby, | was just curious about Alice's

boyfriend.”

“He’s good-looking, but broke. He took her to a cheap diner for their date,” Chloe was happy. “Taketo Pear

Garden! | need pictures for my social media!” But when they arrived, Pear Garden was fully booked.

Garrett Yates was puzzled.“l made a reservation. | used my cousin’s card” “Mr. Yates gave orders not to accept

bookings using his card.”

Garrett Yates’s face fell. He called Andrew Yates.“Cousin, why can’t | use your card?” told you to stay out of

Alice’s business. Did you listen? You even spread the word in legal circles! How dare you?”

Andrew Yates hung up after scolding Garrett Yates. Garrett Yates looked livid.

Chloe approached.“Yan, what's wrong? Can't we eat there?” She’d been looking forward to this, and she’d

bragged to Alice.

Garrett Yates snapped, “It’s all because of you! My cousin found out about your actions in the legal field and

warnedto stay out of it, or Mom will kill me.”

Chloe whispered, “But it was Max who spread the word.”

“My cousin’s not an idiot. He must have heard something.”

Chloe Was curious.“Why do | feel like your cousin is protecting Alice?” too! Maybe there's something going

on between them. The last t| got beaten up in New York, he was the one who cto find me. Otherwise, I'd

have pressed charges.”

Chloe recalled the man at the hospital. She asked tentatively, “The man who cto see you at the hospital...

was your cousin?”

“Yes. That's why | didn’t pursue Alice!”

Chloe's face paled.“But that man seemed close to her nurse boyfriend.” A poor nurse was close to the heir of the

Yates family?

Garrett Yates was confused.“Probably just friends. I'll ask my cousin later. For now, | can’t mess with Alice, or my

cousin will skinalive.”

Chloe could only manage a weak smile. If that man “was” Garrett Yates’s cousin, she’d made a terrible first

impression. Would he tell Garrett Yates’s mother?

Chloe was furious. It was all Alice’s fault! She'd lost her chance to impress the Yates family. Now what?

Alice returned to her dorm and saw a message from Jack: “Did you run out of the ointment?”

She checked-she had.“Where did you get it?” She searched online, but found nothing.

“You can’t buy it over the counter.”

“How much? I'll transfer the money.”

Jack smirked after reading her message.“Talking about, money? So business-like?”

Alice teased, “What else should we talk about?”

His long fingers typed out a reply: “Our feelings.”
