Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Felix blinked at his mother, and his mouth dropped open in shock. “Really? After everything that Chloe has put you through, you’re going to stick up for her? She lied to you about being pregnant, and you’re still on her side? I know that you want to be a grandmother more than anything, and Chloe took that dream and spit it back in your face. She doesn’t care about you. She doesn’t care about anyone.”

Madeline let out a long breath, trying to keep calm. “There are no sides in this scenario,” she said. “The three of us are family. We need to look out for each other. It doesn’t matter the mistakes that we’ve made in the past. What matters is right now.”

The three were silent for a few minutes, then Chloe leaned back on her pillows and groaned. “Please, just give me my phone so I can call Ethan,” she begged her mom. “I know that he will be able to straighten all of this out. I don’t need Felix’s help. I don’t need anything except for my future husband.”

Felix curled his lip in disgust. “Why are you clinging to a man who obviously doesn’t care about you? If he did, he would be here. Just let it go, Chloe.”

“You shut your mouth!” Chloe snapped at her brother.

“Wait a second,” Mrs. Windsor said and held up her hands. “Maybe Ethan discovered that you were faking your pregnancy, and that’s why he joined forces with Olivia. That’s why he came to Luceland to dredge up something that happened five years ago. Maybe he was excited to be a father, and he feels like your lie took that away from him. Because you deceived him, maybe he is planning on ruining your life just like he thinks you ruined his.”

Chloe scoffed at her mother’s theory. “No, Ethan wouldn’t do that to me. He loves me. Even if he discovered that I lied about the pregnancy, he wouldn’t want to take revenge against me.” Then, realization dawned across her face. “I bet that it’s his mother behind all of this! Amelia has always hated me.” She paused as her mind worked furiously, recalling this past week and the time that she spent with Ethan’s mother. “She’s been weirdly nice to me lately. Before, she wasn’t interested in wedding planning at all. But this last week she came with me to go wedding dress shopping and helped me pick out what kind of invitations I wanted to send out. I thought that she was finally accepting me as her future daughter–in–law, but now I know it was because she was trying to get information out of me! One night, she even got me drunk, and I have no idea what I said to the nasty woman.”

Madeline gasped. “Did you tell her about Russell?” she demanded.

continued before his sister could interrupt him. “They legally can’t try you as an adult. You will get a lighter sentence and you won’t be in danger anymore if you’re in jail.”

“No!” Chloe yelled. “I’d rather die than go to jail.” She threw a pillow at her brother, which harmlessly bounced off his chest. “Think of another solution. Now.”

“You know what? I’m sick of being treated like shit. I’m out of here,” Felix said and turned around to leave. “If you won’t take my advice then I’m just wasting my time here.”
