Chapter 333 Business Trip 

Linda’s eyes flicked, and she immediately pulled out her phone to take their picture. 

After they left, she deliberately asked for Alice’s room number. 

Inside Alice’s room. 

Nicollo was lying on the bed. 

Eric, Alice, and Daniel were all standing by the bed. 

Alice had a bit of sweat on her forehead as she packed away her needles.

She said calmly, “Your condition is still mild, but your body’s already weak. If you don’t take care of yourself from now on, even a miracle worker couldn’t save you.” 

Nicollo looked embarrassed. 

If it weren’t for all the problems the Rowlands were dealing with, he definitely wouldn’t keep pushing himself. 

He couldn’t fully follow the doctor’s advice, but he still thanked her. 

“I didn’t expect you both to come to Torenridge. I thought I’d have to wait a year or more, with all the stuff going on in Mapleford.” 

Alice was actually pretty annoyed. 

Coming Here was Oscar’s idea. 

The day before, after dealing with Ruby’s mess, Oscar sent them to a villa next to the old mansion. 

It was Oscar’s private place. 

No one usually stayed there, but someone still cleaned it, so it was quiet and tidy. 

Oscar sat in the room, watching them, and explained the business trip. 

Alice and Eric were smart. 

They knew Oscar had a reason for doing this. 

They just waited. 

Sure enough, Oscar brought up Nicollo’s situation. 

For years, Nicollo had been handling overseas operations. 

He and Oscar were like real brothers and always had each other’s backs.

But now, Nicollo was seriously ill and could no longer handle affairs abroad.

Oscar knew he needed to train Eric, but he didn’t want Nicollo to suffer, so he asked Alice to check on him. 

The excuse was that Torenridge was holding the Heritage Painting Exhibition soon, and he wanted to buy some paintings. 

Of course, many people guessed Oscar wanted to personally deal with some overseas powers. 

After all, a lot of big bosses abroad were originally from Drakoria. 

They’d gone abroad back in greatgrandfather’s day and got foreign citizenship. 

But they still care about their hometown. 

They valued cultural treasures from Drakoria, so many attended these events to reconnect with their 

roots. 

Using this as a chance to strike deals with foreigners could help the group go international. 

That was a big temptation. 

Alice got tired of all the roundabout talk and directly asked, “What exactly do you want? Just say it clearly so it’s easier for everyone.” 

Oscar was surprised she saw right through him. 

After a second, he laughed. 

“All of Nicollo’s overseas businesses are actually mine. 

“The most important one is a topsecret algorithm studio. 

“It’s filled with experts who handle top–secret data. 

“But…” 

Oscar sighed. 

“Recently, every one of those experts has run into trouble, either dead or seriously injured. 

“Even Nicollo has been diagnosed with a severe illness. I need your medical skills to go there and find out who’s behind this.” 

Alice got it immediately. 

“Alright. What’s in it for me?” 

Oscar couldn’t help but laugh. 

His daughter–in–law was fearless and talented.

He promised her that once the problem was solved, everything would belong to her and Eric 

At first, Alice refused; she only asked for the studio. 

The stuff in that lab was highly classified, so Oscar couldn’t just hand it over to anyone. 

But seeing how sharp Alice was, he felt reassured. 

So he agreed. 

That was basically the payment for treating Nicollo. 

When Nicollo thanked her, Alice didn’t really care. 

After all, she didn’t care about words of gratitude. 

But Daniel, standing nearby, was shocked.

He had thought Eric and Alice were just here for business deals with the Rowlands or to find something. 

He never expected it to be for medical treatment. 

Of course, as an assistant, Daniel always looked at the bigger picture. 

He could tell this wasn’t just about a simple collaboration; there was something deeper going on. 

It looked like they’d be staying in Torenridge a bit longer this time. 

“Mr. Eric,” a bodyguard knocked on the door. 

Daniel immediately stepped out. 

Soon after, he came back and whispered something in Eric’s ear. 

Eric’s expression darkened a bit, and he walked out. 

Alice noticed the change, but since Daniel hadn’t involved her, she figured it wasn’t her business. 

She turned back to Nicollo. 

“I know you probably can’t follow the doctor’s orders. But someone asked me to help this time, so if you really have to deal with something, give me a heads–up. I’ll keep you breathing.”
