“Family?”

Daniel let out a cold laugh.

“The Spencers‘ so–called family ties all come with a price tag. Mrs. Nolan doesn’t need that.

Scott was speechless.

Daniel had planned to just walk away.

But when he saw how truly upset Scott looked, he couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him.

“You probably don’t know yet, but Ms. Randall has taken the company back. Mrs. Nolan’s position is in real danger. If you want to protect her, you’d better start from there.”

With that, he turned and left.

Scott froze for a moment.

After the Global Hotel news hit the trending topics, Nolan Group’s stock price had soared.

Now the company was experiencing unprecedented growth.

So many people were envious of Nolan Group, their envy showing through their every move.

But they didn’t have a creative employee like Alice. All they could do was look on and sigh.

He’d thought Nolan Group would truly value such talent.

Even without the connection to Eric, Alice was a pivotal figure at Nolan Group.

Suddenly, he remembered when he’d arrived just now, Alice’s face had still held traces of

anger.

There was even a hint of exhaustion in her expression.

Is that what’s worrying her?

I’m such an idiot not to notice that.

I swore I’d protect Alice, but I don’t even know what she truly wants.

“Mr. Palmer.”

Scott took a deep breath and forced himself to push all his feelings aside.

He finally spoke, slowly.

“Thank you for telling me this. I really appreciate it.”

Then he hurried off.

Daniel was completely baffled by his gratitude.

What a strange guy.

Soon, Chloe was back at work.

After what happened with Michael, no one dared gossip about her.

Chloe was a tough and resilient woman. After a short adjustment, she had already settled back into her usual work routine.

As for Alice, she promoted everyone she felt deserved it, since she had no idea how much longer she’d be in the IT department.

It wasn’t just about Ruby–given everything Alice now knew, she might need to leave to follow up on her mentor’s situation.

She couldn’t afford to waste time.

Chloe couldn’t manage everything alone.

There were also new promotions in the design department and fashion department.

She needed to make sure that even if she and Eric were gone, things could still run smoothly.

She needed to build a system outsiders couldn’t easily break into.

“Ms. Spencer.”

Janice rushed into her office.

“Someone from the hill town is here.”

“Oh?”

Alice put down her work documents and rubbed her temples.

The hill town project had been on hold, but the archaeological team still needed a lot of workers, so everyone in the village was busy.

The townspeople were so used to poverty that they’d leap at any chance to make money.

Alice wondered what could be so urgent that someone would come see her, even if it meant missing out on pay.

“Did you check their identities?”

Janice shook her head.

“But I sent Truman over to check.”

Truman was now in charge of the projects department, and he was busy.

But once he heard it was about Alice, he dropped everything and went outside.

Right then, Alice’s phone buzzed. It was a message from Truman.

“Ms. Spencer, they’re not actually from the hill town. Their accents are off, but some of their habits and speech patterns are similar.”

He sent a photo right after.

As soon as Alice saw the two people in the photo, her face darkened. She knew who they were.

They looked so much older.

Their hair had turned gray.

The man was stooped now.

The woman’s face was lined with wrinkles.

But Alice recognized them immediately.

All those years, they’d called her names and whipped her with a cane.

And in the end, they’d sold her.

These were her adoptive parents.

They had finally gotten out of prison.

And now they’d come looking for her.

Alice looked at the photo and let out a bitter laugh.
