The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 453

Seraphina now had a head full of white hair, and her face was covered in deep wrinkles.

She looked as though she had suddenly aged into her eighties or nineties.

When she looked at Alice Spencer, her eyes were void of any emotion.

"She truly is blessed."

The "she" she referred to was Eugenia.

After saying this, Stanley stepped forward and knocked her unconscious, preparing to send her back to the Sarratts.

"Wait."

Alice wrote a small note and tucked it into Seraphina's hand.

"Now, you can take her away."

After completing this, she went to see Eugenia.

Her mentor was sitting on the sofa, slowly sipping tea.

"Do you want to ask me how I dealt with her?"

Alice shook her head. "Mentor, as long as you've let out your frustration, you can handle her however you like. I just wanted to ask ... do you want to see Silas?"

"Regarding that, I'll need to discuss it with Julius."

Eugenia fell into a brief silence, likely considering the best way to bring down the entire Sarratts once and for all.

Alice nodded.

If Julius were handling the matter, he would take the diplomatic relations between the two countries into account.

He could even use the Sarratts as a bargaining chip.

In short, it was just as well that she didn't need to involve herself in those complexities.

"Alice."

"Hm?"

Hearing her name, Alice immediately walked over and sat down.

"Have you decided what to do about yourself and Mr. Eric?"

Alice hadn't expected this question.

Her face flushed with a hint of awkwardness.

"Mentor, you probably already know. He and I are just a 'contract couple.'"

Eugenia couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"Do you truly take your mentor for a fool?"

Alice was stumped.

"Just a contract, huh?"

Eugenia felt a wave of wordless exasperation seeing that her disciple still hadn't seen into her own heart.

Her greatest wish in this life was to live well and see her disciple happy.

Now, the former had been achieved.

Thinking back to when she was framed by Seraphina, she had truly thought she was going to die.

She had planned to hide in a small hill town to live out her remaining days.

Then, she met Alice.

A medical prodigy.

After only months of study, Alice had found the antidote in her system.

That was why Eugenia was still here today.

And why she could now plan ahead for Alice.
