Over the past weeks, they had sent numerous people to gather information, even attempting to bribe members of the renovation crew.

But no one knew where Alice had found her team.

They were tight–lipped to an almost terrifying degree.

Not a single detail had leaked.

Ruby sighed softly. “You’ve grown up. You know how to shoulder things for me now. But we’re still within the contractual period. Everything can still change. Don’t worry too much.”

“Got it!”

Sandy felt reassured the moment Ruby spoke.

It meant Ruby already had a plan in place.

Inside the hospital room, the air was heavy with silence.

Samson carefully took out his symbolic compass, running his fingers over its surface.

“Ms. Spencer, I failed to recognize who I was dealing with before. This is the sect I trained under. If you ever run into anyone from the same circle, just mention my name. They will show you respect.”

Alice didn’t bother softening her response.

“If they’re anything like you, I’d rather never meet any of them at all.”

Samson winced.

Did she always have to be so brutally direct?

Okay, he had judged by appearances when he first met Alice.

That was his mistake.

His mentor had warned him long ago that his attachment to the material world hadn’t been tempered enough. He needed to leave the safety of home and experience life among

ordinary people.

Only now did Samson truly understand what that meant about all souls being equal.

“Ms. Spencer, I’m sorry.”

He apologized again, with genuine sincerity.

Alice pulled out a pen and wrote her phone number on a scrap of paper.

“Since General Fern asked you to assist me, save this number. If something comes up, contact

me.”

Samson wanted to exchange his own contact information, but Alice waved him off.

“Save it. I already have your number.”

Samson quietly put down the pen. He’d almost forgotten. Alice was now Eric’s wife.

After a moment of hesitation, he glanced toward Eric.

“Mr. Eric, I’d like to speak with Ms. Spencer alone for a moment. Would you mind stepping out?”

Eric turned his gaze to Alice.

Her expression was unreadable, betraying no particular emotion.

She checked her watch instead.

“You have two minutes.”

With her consent, Eric gave a slight nod and left the room.

Only then did Samson finally exhale in relief.

He lowered his voice.

“Earlier, I wasn’t going to mention this, but you truly opened my eyes. I’m deeply grateful. So I can’t keep this hidden any longer…”

“Get to the point.” Alice had no patience for preamble.

Samson quickly obliged.

“From what I can tell, your life pattern is … difficult.

“You were separated from your family early on, and that distance was the only reason they prospered. Now that you’ve returned, you’ve seen the consequences.”

The Spencers were once a prominent family, now teetering on the edge of ruin.

Alice responded with a cold, dismissive sound. “If that’s all you can discern, then save your breath.”

There was cause and effect at play here.

The moment the Spencers bol

the whispers of outsiders and abandoned their own

child, they severed their own blessing.

Whatever fortune remained had been worn away by their repeated choice of gain over Whatever fortune remained had b kinship.

The Spencers‘ downfall was self–inflicted.

It had little to do with her.

If anything, she’d merely been a tool in the process.

“That’s not the crucial part,” Samson said, clearly aware of his own limitations. There were things he simply couldn’t perceive.

“What I need to tell you is this: you

forward and Mr. Eric are spiritually opposed. If you press together, your path will be fraught with conflict. It may even become a matter of life and death.”

He paused, his tone grave.

“Ms. Spencer, I urge you to think carefully.”

When he finished, Alice laughed.

Samson instantly bristled. “Why are you laughing? I’m being serious!”

Alice took two steps closer, her smile laced with mockery.

“Oh? Is that so?

“Samson, stop trying to play prophet. You’re too young to be stressing yourself bald.”

With that, she turned and walked out of the room.

Samson stared at her retreating figure, stunned.
