Chapter 285
Chloe's words were a clear implication.
Alice's lips curled into a cold smile. So you're saying | embezzled the foundation’s funds?” “No, | just wanted to
remind you. Funds shouldn't be moved around carelessly. It could affect the Land family’s reputation, wouldn't
you agree?”
Chloe put on an innocent look, waving her hands.“Alice, if you're angry, just forget | said anything.”
Alice clicked her tongue. “Forget you said anything? You said everything! And you're pretending again?”
“Alice, I'm doing this for your own good.” Chloe’s eyes welled up. She looked at Mrs. Wilson. “Your were at the
auction. You know how much was raised.”
Mrs. Wilson nodded.“Of course, but what does that have to do with Alice's asset verification?”
Chloe hadn't expected Mrs. Wilson to defend Alice so strongly. Didn't she suspect this bitch at all?
Julia Garcia looked at Alice. “Asset verification usually freezes the funds for a few days.” This was to prevent
people from borrowing money for verification, getting a membership card, and then transferring the money.
Before Alice could answer, Chloe started crying.“Alice, the foundation needs funds for the event. The money
can’t be frozen.” This implied that Alice’s funds were the charity donations. Julia Garcia had a plan but showed
no emotion.“Ms. Alice, is a few days’ freeze a problem Alice answered, “No problem. The money wasn’t charity
donations. It was from her livestream. and her share of the Al project profits. The project would soon go public,
and her share would only increase.
Chloe grabbed Alice's hand.“Alice, don’t keep making mistakes. Everyone here is familiar. Just admit it, and no
one will laugh.”
Alice pushed Chloe away.“Are you crazy? The money isn’t from charity. I'm not that greedy.”
“Alice, it's cto this.

expensive this dress is?”
Alice clapped her hands. I'm saving you.”
“Saving me?”
“Yes. You were acting like you were possessed. Are you clear-headed now?” Alice’s eyes were mocking. “Let me
say it one last time. The money isn’t from charity. If you have hearing problems, go to the hospital and check
your brain, too.”
Chloe was furious. “How can you have ten million in cash? If it’s not the charity money, what is it?
“Do | need to explain that to you?” Alice ignored her.
Julia Garcia hadn't expected Alice to be so assertive, especially in front of Mrs. Wilson. She

calmly said, Since Ms. Alice says it’s not charity money, it probably isn’t. Don’t make false accusations without
evidence.’
Chloe didn’t have any evidence. She couldn't see the account balance, but she could check tomorrow at the
foundation. She wouldn't let Alice off easily.
Julia Garcia knew Chloe was useless, seeing her silence.
The manager handed Alice her card.“Ms. Alice, welcto the club.”
“Thank you.” Alice took the card and looked at Mrs. Wilson. “Thank you for your endorsement.” Besides status, a
sponsor was needed for membership.
Mrs. Wilson smiled.“It’s nothing. Let's go; I'll show you around.”
Julia Garcia said, “Auntie Wilson, you should return Ms. Alice to me. We have a planning meeting.”
“Oh, right. I almost forgot. I'll clisten too.”
“I'd appreciate that.”
Julia Garcia linked arms with Mrs. Wilson, discussing various matters with ease. Alice felt like an extra, as Mrs.
Wilson and Julia Garcia were practically mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
They arrived at a banquet hall. Someone approached Julia Garcia.“Weren’t you picking someone up? Who is so
important that you had to personally pick them up?”

Alice’s expression cooled.”l don’t think charity events need luxury decorations. It’s wasteful.” Max fumed.“Are
you saying my sister wastes money?”
“Max, what are you saying? Ms. Alice didn’t mean that, and her ideas weren't wrong.” Julia Garcia was irritated.
Her sister was so clumsy; didn’t she see Mrs. Wilson was there? This would drag her into the mess!
Mrs. Wilson spoke up for Alice.”l think being frugal with charity events is right. Spending much on appearances is
better spent directly helping those in need.” Alice was touched.
Julia Garcia quickly recovered.”Ms. Alice, | want to apologize. Our past events were extravagant. We'll learn from
you and make adjustments.”
Mrs. Wilson nodded approvingly.“Julia, that’s the right attitude.”

over and saw various brands of napkins. Someone picked one up and exclaimed, “Whose idea was this? They're
all expired!”
Alice recognized the brand; it was the one their foundation had bought. Had Chloe tampered with it?
