Eric’s expression turned grim.

Then came Alice’s firm voice.

“It’s not that complicated.”

Eric frowned.

It wasn’t until a moment later that he realized she was talking about the full–scale restructuring of Nolan Group.

“You have a solution?”

Alice gave a perfectly polite smile.

Eric’s gaze turned colder.

Alice went on.

“If the Nolan Group’s trouble ends up affecting my business, it’ll be a real headache.

She was the type who hated trouble more than anything.

After years of seclusion in the mountains, she had seen enough of the fickle nature of human

“It won’t affect you.”

Eric’s voice was blunt and cold..

It was almost like… he was angry.

Alice gave him a puzzled look.

His face remained unreadable, betraying no emotion at all.

She pressed her lips together.

Chapter 62 Don’t Push Your Luck

Men really are hard to understand.

Ah, they’re so annoying!

When they arrived at Nolan Tower and got out of the car, they saw people from the Spencer family.

Alice hadn’t paid them much attention at first. It was only when Daniel nudged her that she finally looked over.

Damon and Linda were standing in front of the Nolan Tower, speaking to the reporters.

As Alice got closer, their voices became audible.

“Did you come along with Mr. Hawkin today?”

Halsey was someone with significant influence, so he hardly ever appeared in public.

Once word got out that he’d be coming to Nolan Group for a review, reporters had been waiting since early morning.

Since Halsey was getting older and no longer suited for interviews, his students, Damon and Linda, had stepped in to handle them for him.

Linda smiled.

“Yes, Mr. Hawkin thinks very highly of my brother Damon. He practically takes him everywhere these days.”

A reporter added, “Mr. Damon really is impressive.”

Just then, a reporter standing at the back suddenly shouted,

“Mr. Damon, we heard the department being reviewed today is under your brother–in–law’s management. Are you going to help out?”

Damon lifted his gaze and saw Eric and Alice standing nearby.

His expression turned grim, and the warmth in his tone instantly vanished.

“My mentor takes his academic work very seriously. He would never show favoritism to anyone just because of me.”

He gave a mocking chuckle as he looked at Alice.

“If someone lacks the skill yet still tries to force some half–hearted designs on Mr. Hawkin, he won’t go easy on them, and I certainly wouldn’t let that tarnish his reputation.”

Chapter 62 Don’t Push Your Luck

The reporters began to sense something was off and started glancing behind them.

Sure enough, Alice stood there looking utterly crestfallen.”

They instantly swarmed her.

“Ms. Spencer, after being reunited with your family, is it true you don’t get along with your brothers?”

That question… is beyond ridiculous.

Alice almost laughed out loud.

Damon and Linda’s faces turned even darker.

The reporters pressed on, “Ms. Spencer, can you answer the question?”

Alice slowly turned her gaze back to the reporter who had asked.

“That’s a great question. The answer is written all over their faces.”

Every reporter turned around.

Caught off guard, Damon and Linda hadn’t yet wiped the expressions off their faces.

Their grim expressions and barely concealed disgust were instantly caught on camera.

By the time they realized what had happened, Alice had already slipped away with Eric while the reporters‘ attention was elsewhere.

They wanted to go after Alice and confront her. But in reality, they had no grounds for it.

After all, it was true that they had failed to control their own expressions.

They had no choice but to swallow their frustration.

Some of the reporters began whispering to each other, excitedly scheming to turn it into a scandal piece about the juicy drama of a high–society family feud.

A story like this had to come with pictures.

But Damon acted quickly.
