Chapter 309 What She Meant to Ask

“My life was just fine. Mind your own business.

With that, Samson strode out.

But something went wrong right after.

As Samson walked away, he still thought Alice had been spouting nonsense.

He came from a mysticism background himself

He had recently left seclusion because someone was searching for an artwork created using esoteric techniques.

Julius valued talent, and Samson was fiercely loyal to him.

People from his circle had skill but no power.

If they wanted to survive in the real world, they had to find someone influential to rely on.

Before leaving the mountains, his mentor had even done a reading for him.

Everything pointed to a smooth and stable path.

And yet, what had Alice said earlier?

Some kind of violent mishap?

If he hadn’t still been keeping up appearances, he would’ve laughed outright at the time.

He had also taken a look at Alice himself.

From his perspective, she didn’t look particularly fortunate.

Her life path looked rough, with little family support.

Simply put, she could only rely on herself for everything.

If she worked hard, she might still carve out a decent future.

If not…

Thinking that far, he let out a mocking chuckle.

Why was he overthinking it?

It was pointless anyway.

“Honk, honk, honk!”

A car suddenly sped past him, brushing right by his clothes.

He snapped back to his

Only then did he realize he had

ndered into the middle of the road.

He quickly stepped back,

yed with himself for zoning out like that.

“Stop him! Catch the thief!”

Someone who looked like a pickpocket ran past him from behind.

With a mindset of not meddling in other people’s fate, Samson ignored it.

But the thief, panicking as he was chased, tossed whatever he was holding without thinking.

Bang!

It felt like a hammer had fallen from the sky and slammed straight into Samson.

Instinctively, he reached up and touched his forehead.

Blood smeared across his fingertips.

“Someone help! He collapsed!”

The news eventually reached Alice.

She had just been about to head home when she heard.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

“He fainted at the sight of blood?”

That part she really hadn’t seen coming.

No wonder Eugenia always said she still had a lot to learn.

Still, Samson’s overall luck was genuinely good. He wouldn’t face many real hardships in this lifetime.

Eric walked over and naturally stopped beside her.

After everything they had rough on the ship, their relationship seemed to have grown

closer without either of them noticing.

Even though the car was parked not far away, neither of them made a move to get in.

Their walking pace was painfully slow, almost like snails.

“What if the bomb were still there today?” Alice suddenly asked.

Eric turned his head to look at her.

His gaze was serious, his tone solemn.

“Didn’t you trust me?”

Daniel, walking beside them, was completely speechless.

Mr. Eric’s emotional intelligence was truly beyond saving.

Mrs. Nolan had clearly just wanted to hear something about sticking together through life and death.

Was that really so hard?

Ugh. Being an assistant to people in love was exhausting.

If he could, Daniel would’ve gladly spoken for Eric.

Sure enough, Alice’s expression darkened, as heavy as storm clouds.

So she’d been overthinking it.

No wonder people always said dying for love was just an old legend.

Of course, she had probably read too much into it.

Eric was likely the type to devote himself entirely to his work.

She nodded. “Your professional ability speaks for itself. Of course I trust you.”

Eric felt instantly at ease.

He got into the car with her and then asked, “Who are you planning to have take over Chloe’s position?”

Although Chloe was no longer in physical danger, the psychological impact was severe.

She wouldn’t be able to keep up with work for a while.

The company wasn’t heartless, though. Chloe’s position would be held for her, and her salary

would continue.

Since Chloe handled a key role in the IT department, someone had to step in temporarily.
