So Sandy avoided Jimmy and went straight to see Irene.

After hearing what she had to say, Irene looked surprised. “Are you serious?”

Sandy nodded.

“Grandma, think about it. Ever since Alice married into our family, things have been off.

“How does she know so much? And how does she always manage

slip out of trouble?

“Besides, everything about what happened with Uncle Matt and Uncle Josh reeks of something deeper.

“Eric was completely swamped with the fashion department back then. If no one was helping her, how could she have stayed so calm while in police custody?”

The paperwork on Matt and Josh’s trial was already in motion.

On the surface, neither of them appeared to be linked to any deaths.

Most likely, they would just be held in detention for a while before being released.

Upon hearing the news, Irene had practically bolted upright in her sickbed.

The family doctor had just left Irene’s room a moment ago, and Sandy had alr share the gossip.

“But Alice and Risa are both women … ”

In Irene’s mind, heterosexual marriages made far more sense.

The idea of Alice and Risa being romantically involved just didn’t sit right with her.

Sandy pulled up some videos and commentary she had already prepared and showed them to Irene.

“Grandmother, this is something we can’t afford to ignore.

“Think about it–if she really does have something going on with Risa, they might team up and snatch the Nolan family’s assets from us.

“Risa has a lot of power overseas. If she loses it, Eric might not be able to hold her off.”

A cold gleam flashed in Irene’s eyes

As the elder of the family, she used to hope for the best for each of her children and grandchildren.

But now, a clear bias was growing in her heart.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t treat them all fairly-

“Does your mother know about this?”

Sandy shook her head.

“I’m not even sure myself. That’s why I came to talk to you first.

“You know what my mother’s like. She has zero tolerance for this sort of thing.

“If she finds out about this, she’ll probably blow it up, and then the entire Nolan family will become a joke!

Irene nodded.

She reached out and took Sandy’s hand.

“Good girl. You’ve always been sensible.”

Sandy didn’t feel the least bit happy about being praised.

“So, Grandmother, how do we handle this?

“If our suspicions are true, it’ll be a full–blown scandal.

Irene waved her hand dismissively.

“Like you said, this isn’t something to be taken lightly. I’ll have a proper talk with Eric.”

If Alice really did marry in with the intent to join forces with Risa and sm

the Nolan family’s assets.

Then she would drag Alice down to hell with her, even if it cost her the last of her strength.

When Alice got back to the villa, the first thing she did was to catch up on sleep.

And of course, she claimed the big bed again,

Eric had work to do.

So she didn’t even need to try–she slipped into the most peaceful nap imaginable.

By the time Eric finished his call with the police and returned, he found her already fast asleep.

She must’ve been in an especially good mood, because her sleeping posture was completely unrestrained.

The blanket had been kicked right onto the floor.

Eric sighed in resignation.

But it seemed like she might have dreamed something unsettling, because she suddenly grabbed his hand.

“You said you’d come back.”

Alice mumbled the words in her sleep.

Eric leaned closer, not quite catching it.

“Hmm? What did you say?”

Alice turned her face away, sound asleep again.

Eric realized she’d just been sleep–talking.

But since they started living together, this was the first time he’d ever heard Alice talk in her sleep.

She may appear fierce and dominant in the outside world, but once she was home…

She would turn into something soft and gentle, like a quiet little lamb.

When she slept, she would curl up in bed like a tiny shrimp.

He couldn’t help but smile.

But he quickly realized that his thoughts were a little out of line.

He got up at once.

His eyes drifted to the small bed by the door, and he couldn’t help feeling a little exasperated.
