“My ancestors are really good to me. They’ve been dead for so many years, and they can still give mic a job!” 

The archaeology team did not say anything, but when they thought about it, Emma’s way of understanding it did not seem wrong. 

Clayton laughed out loud. “I didn’t expect this to be so casy.” 

Truman had noticed the burial site before, but he did not expect it to alert the archaeology team. 

Now that the pressure was gone, he felt relieved, but also felt his knowledge was still not deep enough and needed more study. 

But then… 

“Ms. Spencer, even though this place can’t be developed, the switchback project won’t be put on hold, too, right?” 

The Martinez Group still had a chance. 

Compared to the hill town project, switchback was smaller, but it could be tied to the archaeological site, making it easier to promote. 

If it was done well, it could still make some profit, at least enough to avoid a total loss. 

Alice smiled slightly. “Why don’t you ask Clayton?” 

Clayton looked a little embarrassed. 

“As soon as the news went online, my dad went to see the owner of Martinez Group. 

“And he got the road using the lowest possible cost.” 

Emma was speechless. 

That was truly ruthless. 

She had just seen the cold and unethical side of big capital. 

But she did not dare say it out loud. 

And if the same thing happened to their own side, it would actually feel great. 

“Ms. Spencer, you didn’t know this was going to happen today a long time ago, did you?” 

That would be almost magical. 

“And how did you know there was an ancient burial site here?

“Do you study this kind of thing too?” 

Emma thought the same. 

Alice seemed to be good at 

thing. 

She felt a little guilty and touched the back of her neck. 

“It was just a coincidence.” 

Truman had noticed the issue 

reading, and he had also take, ck then because he had studied a bit of symbolic systems and pattern 

archaeology classes in college.. 

Even then, he only suspected it and did not dare to be sure, because he was afraid of delaying the Nolan Group’s project. 

That was why he rushed back earlier, hoping Alice could bring in professionals to judge it. 

Now, after hearing Emma say this, he found it a bit hard to believe. 

He admired Alice, but he was still rational. 

Alice was outstanding, but she could not possibly know everything. 

He was confused, but said nothing. 

Yvette and Linda came out next, and it looked like the talks had not gone 

When Michael came out, his face looked terrible. He had probably argued. 

Someone. 

The person in charge of the negotiation, however, looked calm, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he had not just finished a negotiation but had enjoyed a nice meal. 

That man had strong mental composure. 

Linda glanced over and then actually walked toward them. 

“Alice.” 

Her tone was calmer than before, as if she was no longer holding a grudge. 

Then she looked at Eric. 

“Eric.” 

Saying that name seemed to cost her all her pride. She was unwilling, yet helpless. 

Eric’s voice was cold. 

“You shouldn’t address us like that. Please show some respect.”

Linda’s body trembled slightly, then she forced a bitter smile.

Hadn’t she already accepted his cold betrayal and the cruelty of fate back during the chess tournament? 

Yet she still held onto hope, thinking that so many years together would not be forgotten so easily. 

She was wrong. 

“Okay.” 

She sniffed, her face full of grievance, but no one pitied her. 

She stopped pretending. 

“There’s been some misunderstanding between Alice and me. I want to talk to her alone.” 

Alice replied calmly, “First, I have nothing to do with you. Second, do you really think I have time to chat with you?” 

Linda bit her lip, hatred burning in her heart. 

But she still needed Alice’s cooperation, so she swallowed her anger. 

“Alice, I really have something urgent to discuss with you. If you don’t listen, you might regret it.” 

Alice smiled. 

“Where do you plan to take me to talk? That cliff across the way? 

“If I’m not mistaken, five bodyguards are hiding over there. 

“Other than pushing someone off the cliff, what reason could they have to be there?” 

Linda was shocked. 

This was arranged in secret. How did she know? 

“Linda, you’re not the only smart person in this world. I suggest you behave yourself.” 

With that, Alice grabbed Eric’s wrist and walked toward the car nearby. 

The others hurried to follow. 

Linda stood there, her face turning even darker. 

She had been mocked. 

How could a country girl like Alice have such an ability? 

It is all because of Mr. Eric!

Just wait! 

Linda believed that sooner or later, she would steal Eric back and leave Alice homeless. 

By then, she refused to believe Alice could still act so proudly.
