Chapter 50 What Happened to His Judgement Today?

From the very beginning, the fox–masked lady has been treating me as a joke!

Linda bit her lip.

Her mind raced as she tried to figure out if she’d upset anyone recently.

Even before knowing she was the fake heiress, she’d worked hard to make friends with the socialites in Mapleford.

After finding out she’d been switched at birth, she’d been even more careful around Mapleford’s elite.

In the end, she framed Alice and pretended to faint for a while.

I haven’t offended a single person.

If I have to name someone, it has to be the real heiress!

But that doesn’t make sense either.

Even if Eric spoils Alice, he wouldn’t bring her here and undergo capital verification.

If the Nolans caught on, they’d probably go after Eric.

Linda pressed her hand against her chest, trying to calm the growing unease.

It can’t be Alice–it’s impossible!

Otherwise…

She glanced at her five brothers walking ahead.

There’s something off with Gary and Charlie today.

Even though they still dote on me, the warmth doesn’t feel as genuine.

She rubbed her temples.

No, stop!

She pushed the thought away again.

My brothers watched me grow up. They love me no matter what.

I shouldn’t doubt their feelings.

“Hey, guys…

She took a deep breath and gripped the ink tight in her hand. “Wait for me.”

After Alice and Eric left the auction house, they exchanged a look.

Both saw a flicker of curiosity in each other’s eyes.

Alice spoke first.

“Mr. Eric, since we’re just a contract couple, I don’t see the point in digging too deep. What do you think?”

Eric’s face was unreadable.

He seemed completely indifferent.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.”

Eric froze in place.

Alice ignored him and headed straight to the parking lot.

Daniel followed close behind Eric, shivering in the cold.

“Mr. Eric.”

He was trembling,

“How about I look into Mrs. Nolan?”

He wanted to know what she was up to but was too shy to ask directly.

As a runner, his job was to

case his boss’s worries.

Then he noticed the usually cold Eric had a hint of pride in his expression.

“You won’t find anything.”

Daniel almost froze.

+5 Free Come

Even though Eric had been unconscious for years, his contacts at home and abroad were impressive.

Looking into one woman should be easy.

Besides, Alice came from the countryside, living simply with few connections–people like her were the easiest to look into.

Yet Eric claimed Daniel wouldn’t find anything-

For a moment, Daniel wasn’t sure if Eric was losing faith in his network after the coma or just overconfident in Alice.

“Ahem.”

Daniel awkwardly cleared his throat.

“Mr. Eric, don’t worry, I’ll look into it thoroughly!”

Eric was speechless.

He really wanted a new assistant, but it was hard to find one on such short notice.

“When will your brother be back?”

Daniel paused before asking, “Mr. Eric, do you think I’m useless?”

Eric nodded. “You’re pretty self–aware.”

Daniel almost tripped.

My boss doesn’t love me anymore!

The next day.

Just after waking up, Alice heard some news.

Halsey had posted on X that Damon was his favorite student.

This wasn’t said lightly.
