Alice had spent so many years in the monastery, and except for her mentor, she truly believed there were no purely good people in the world.

So even though the Spencers treated her with endless contempt, even forcing her into a fake marriage, she felt hurt but not broken.
But seeing Emma now, she suddenly remembered what her mentor had told her.
In this messy world, there’s always a sincere heart to be found.
She couldn’t help but gently pat Emma’s shoulder.
“I have the antidote.”
Emma was stunned to the point of speechlessness.
Alice chuckled softly at her shocked face.
“When I was overseas handling a case, I accidentally upset some people. They came after me, which I expected.
“But I never imagined it would drag you into this mess.”
Emma quickly shook her head. “No, no, I’m happy to take the hit for you.”
Alice waved her off.
“We’re all equals. Even if I saved you, don’t ever think less of yourself.”
Emma seemed to half–get it.
Alice went on.
“I’ve got a lab abroad researching exactly the antidote you need.
“Recently, I bought some land from Jack to keep the research going here at home.
“Are you interested?”
Emma’s eyes
lit
up immediately.
Of course–it’s the antidote I need!
“Absolutely. But … can I really do it?”

Alice smiled.
“What was your graduate research about?”
Emma blushed a bit. “Biomedical science.”
Alice nodded. “Perfect. Want to be
my
PhD student?”
Emma was speechless.
“P–PhD?”
It wasn’t doubt about getting in–she was just surprised at Alice’s status.
If what Ms. Spencer says is true, she’s at least a postdoc.
Then …
“I’ll take you home first. The antidote can wait.”
Emma still felt dizzy but held onto what mattered.
She grabbed Alice’s hand eagerly.
“Ms. Spencer, I’m in. I really want to be your PhD student.”
Alice chuckled softly. “Good.”

“Mr. Marvin, why are you out? The doctor said you should rest.”
Marvin snapped at her, “Your sister broke my arm. I don’t need your fake kindness. Beat it!”
Linda didn’t get angry.
She spoke calmly, “Things change fast at the racetrack. I can’t excuse what happened.”

She sighed.
“But I admit, Alice was tash this time. Til make sure she apologizes to you.
“But first, Mr. Marvin, you need to take care of yourself.”
Marvin narrowed his eyes. “You really can get Alice to apologize?”
“Why would I lie to you?‘ she replied.
Suddenly, one of Marvin’s men pointed at someone walking down the hall.
“Look, isn’t that Alice?”
Everyone turned to the hallway entrance.
It was Alice.
She was helping a girl whose face was hidden, so no one could see clearly.
They talked and laughed like close friends.

The man gave a thumbs–up. “Ms. Linda, you nailed it. You said Alice would apologize, and she actually came.”
Then he left.
“She’s probably lost. Mr. Marvin, I’m bringing her to you!”
Marvin looked amused. “Good.”
If Alice is here to apologize, I already have a thousand tortures planned for that bitch.
He glanced at his cast.
He wanted Alice to feel a thousand times worse pain!
Meanwhile, Linda clenched her fists as cold sweat broke on her forehead.
How could there be such a coincidence?
I just said that earlier as a tactic to get close to Marvin.
There’s no way Alice would apologize.
When Alice gets here, I’ll be humiliated.

But…
She thought again.
If Alice stands her ground, refusing to back down, that will just make Marvin angrier.
Maybe I can even gain from the fight.
She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and decided to take the risk.
Just after Alice helped Emma into a cab, someone stepped in front of her.
At first, she thought it was those overseas thugs, so she didn’t hold back.
The man got close, but suddenly Alice grabbed and flipped him over.
“Ah!”
He hit the ground hard, feeling like his bones might break.
