“That’s enough!” Irene cut Alice off sharply.

Alice just shrugged, looking relaxed. “I’m just telling it like it is. If you don’t like it, that’s on you.”
Irene clenched her jaw, trying to sound firm.
“Alice, when you got married, you asked for wedding gifts. That’s a Nolan tradition.
“I’ve shown you plenty of respect.
“If you don’t want to give back to the Nolans, fine. But acting like every little thing is a favor? That’s cold.”
Alice was surprised. “You’re very good at emotional blackmail.”
Irene didn’t reply.
Alice continued, “You gave me that gift just to turn me into your workhorse? Then why not skip the wife part and just hire more servants?
“And you gave the weddings gifts freely–I never forced you. So, Irene, is it possible that you never really wanted to be kind to me?”
Irene was left speechless, stung by the words.
Whitney spoke up quietly, “It’s just talking to your own brother, right:
not that hard.”
Alice smiled.
“You’re so sweet. I’m guessing you’re the kind who would die for everyone. Boo–hoo.”
Whitney had not faced the harsh world, and those words hit her hard. She turned and ran off crying.
Irene sighed deeply, frustrated./
“So what do you want, then?”
Alice’s expression suddenly got serious.
“Since the fashion department was handed to us by Jimmy, and since you’re still here, that means it’s still your responsibility.

“If it’s yours, you can put in the money and the effort to save it–we won’t stop you.”
She said what a lot were thinking but afraid to say.
No one argued after that.
Irene almost exploded with anger.

Alice, still uncertain, asked, “Irene, since you went to all this trouble to call us here, you must really care about Nolan Group. Someone who cared wouldn’t refuse to put up money, right?”
Another hit!
Irene was stuck with no comeback. Her chest rose and fell with inexplicable anger–until, unable to contain it any longer, darkness overtook her.
“Help! Mrs. Irene fainted!”
“Call a doctor!”
“Someone call 911!”
The old mansion burst into chaos.
Alice glanced at Eric.
“Did I go too far just now?”
Eric thought a moment, then said seriously, “Not quite. Keep going.”
Alice looked at him, speechless. He really doesn’t care about the Nolans at all, huh?
She then said, “I’m tired.”
-If I’d known these people were so weak, I wouldn’t have come.
What a waste of time.
Daniel hurried back after hearing about Irene passing out.
So Sandy was let back in.
Sandy was a wreck, crying hard and full of fear.
When she saw Ruby, she threw herself into her arms, sobbing nonstop.
Ruby couldn’t deal with Irene now and had Matt’s family go to the hospital with Irene while

she stayed behind to comfort her daughter.
Ruby thought, Even though I backed Eric and Alice earlier on the fashion department issue, that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven them!
Now, they dared to hurt Sandy!
I’ll make them pay!
Seeing Sandy so broken, Alice looked at Daniel and asked, “What did you do?”
Daniel looked innocent. “I just let her play with the snake for a bit.
Alice froze.
No wonder Sandy looks so out of it.
Daniel was full of righteous pride.
“It’s so hard to get a chance to teach her a lesson–someone’s always protecting her.
“They wanted us to fight Mrs. Ruby so they could profit from the fashion department problems, which is why they didn’t stop it earlier.
“So I took the chance to make sure she remembers me forever.”
Alice chuckled. Making sure she remembers him, huh? That’s interesting.
“Your hobbies are something else,” she said with a sigh.
Daniel chuckled. “Compared to you, I’m a beginner.”
Alice almost facepalmed herself. That doesn’t sound like a compliment.
On the way back, they hit traffic.
Daniel sighed. “Looks like they’re filming ahead. We can’t get through for now.”
He planned to take a detour, but Alice spotted a nearby café.
“Park the car somewhere. I’m grabbing coffee.”
Eric followed her out.
“Are vou paying for me?” she turned to him and asked.

Eric smiled teasingly.
“You always ask for money. That shows how broke you are. I can’t let you eat for free.
He put extra emphasis on the last few words.
Alice remembered teasing him carlier.
She coughed lightly.
“Since you’re paying, I won’t hold back.”
Eric’s smile grew wider.
