Chapter 287
Alice’s aggressive act shocked everyone in the office. Ethan's expression was awkward when he saw the sanitary
napkins.“What are you doing with these? Aren’t you ashamed?” “What's shameful about sanitary napkins? You
men buy condoms; | don’t see you being
ashamed!”
Ethan's face reddened.“Don’t be unreasonable. Let's talk at home. Can’t you see I'm in a meeting?” Several
executives were present.
One executive said, “Boss, no offense, but we're discussing a project, and sanitary napkins are...bad luck.”
Another chimed in, “In our hometown, menstruation is considered unlucky. Women can’t go to temples or
ancestral halls. It’s bad for the family’s fortune.”
“Boss, your sister is too reckless. Why would you bring sanitary napkins out like this?”
Ethan was furious. He pointed at Alice.“Get out! And take that garbage with you!”
Alice picked up a napkin.“Your mothers, wives, female relatives...have they never used these? Never seen
them?”
“But no one brings sanitary napkins out in the open!”
“Yes, it's something women use privately. It's considered bad luck to show them to others.”
Alice opened a napkin and stuck it on the executive's mouth.“You're done. Your life is over.”
The executive yelled, “You bitch! You...”
The other two executives pulled him back.“Don’t curse! She's the Land heiress.”
Alice looked at them.”Oh, | almost forgot about you two.” She stuck one on each of them. They were terrified, as
if the napkins were skind of filth.

Alice said coldly, “Don’t forget, the place where menstruation comes from is where born. If you say menstruation
is dirty, then you're just as dirty, because you cfrom the splace.”

The three executives dared not retort.
Ethan rubbed his temples.“Get
out.” Family matters should be kept private..
Alice, slightly appeased by their hasty retreat, turned to Ethan. The office was littered with sanitary
napkins.“What do you want?”
“Chloe caused the problem with the napkins. You need to make her solve it.”
“What's wrong with the napkins?”
“They're expired. Chloe handled the supplies. What's the problem?” Alice wanted to know what was in Chloe's
brain! Who was so stupid and greedy?
Ethan checked the expiration dates. They were indeed expired. He sighed. “I'll talk to her. I'll replace the
supplies; I'll pay for it. Is that okay?”
“Oh, you think that’s all?” Alice knew Ethan would cover for Chloe.“l was invited to Julia Garcia's charity event.
Our foundation's supplies are expired. What do you think people will think of the Land family?”

“What?” Ethan's expression changed. Replacing the supplies was one thing, but this was different
Alice knew her brother cared about the Land family’s reputation and interests.
“We need to explain this. Otherwise, it'll spread, and even the Chen family will know, Chloe caused this mess;
you clean it up.”
Ethan's face darkened,
The secretary knocked.“Boss, Ms. Quinn is here.”
“Good. Let her in.” Ethan's face was grim. This was a huge embarrassment. Alice watched Chloe enter, her eyes

Chloe saw the napkins and shrunk back.“Big brother, letexplain about the expired napkins.” “Explain what?
How could you buy expired goods and embarrass us at Julia Garcia's event?” “Big brother, | went to investigate. |
was cheated. | didn’t know they were selling expired napkins.” Alice pressed, “You're lying. | saw how much you
paid for the napkins-more than usual for this brand. They wouldn't send expired ones unless you took a
kickback. They'd do it for profit.” “I didn’t take a kickback,” Chloe denied.”Big brother, this was my first time
handling this. | lacked experience and was tricked by the supplier. I'm a woman, too! | wouldn't buy expired
sanitary napkins.” She looked aggrieved.
Ethan's face was still grim.“But you were responsible. You should have been more careful. Now we're the
laughingstock. What do you suggest?”
“Big brother, I'll explain to Miss Garcia.”

Alice sneered.“Do think that will work? Our foundation is disqualified from the event, and we'll be the

Chloe, lowering her head, mumbled, “But it wasn’t intentional.” The supplier had promised

too.
Alice said to Ethan, “I heard the Chen family does charity work frequently because of Miss Chen. This will give
them a bad impression.”
That was Ethan's biggest concern.
He said irritably,“I’ll handle it.”
“Since Chloe is incapable, she shouldn't manage the funds anymore.”
Ethan immediately agreed.“You'll take over.”

“Big brother, | want to tell you something!” Chloe looked at Alice.” Julia Garcia's event was at the club. Alice got
a membership card and froze ten million. | suspect she used the charity funds.” She didn’t believe Alice had ten
million cash. Alice was probably trying to cover it up.
Ethan looked at Alice.“Really? Doesn't it require an endorsement?”
“Mrs. Wilson endorsed me.”
Ethan didn’t expect Mrs. Wilson to be so kind to Alice.
Chloe was resentful.”Big brother, we're talking about the ten million. If it’s the charity funds, they're frozen.”

Alice said directly, “That ten million is my own money”
“Where did you get it?”
Alice looked at Ethan.“You gavemoney before. And my own earnings add up to rougly fox
amount.”
Ethan remembered the deal he made with Alice. Alice was in charge of the company’s firewa system, but he
hadn't told the family,
He vaguely nodded. “I see. Explain to Mrs. Wilson,”
“I will.”
Alice received a call from the director. She put it on speakerphone.“Tellwhat you found out?
“Ms. Alice, Chloe took a kickback from the supplier. The supplier sent expired napkins. We have the evidence.
Should we call the police?”
Alice looked at Ethan and Chloe.“Yes, call the police!*
“No!” Chloe's legs went weak. She snatched the phone.
