What Alice said was pretty rude.Â
Most people would have been scared to death hearing that, but Nicollo wasn’t just anyone.Â
He had been through so many power struggles that he was tough as nails.Â
So he wasn’t afraid.Â

“Fine. I won’t ruin your reputation as a miracle doctor,” Nicollo said with a small smile, like he didn’t care about his own body.Â
Alice didn’t say anything else and left the room.Â
The room was booked under her name, but it was now being used by Nicollo–since his condition couldn’t be made public.Â
With Daniel and Eric out of the room, she didn’t mind being alone with Nicollo, but as a patient, he needed rest.Â
After she stepped outside, she didn’t see Eric or Daniel, but she did hear a loud argument nearby.Â
“Who do you think you are? You’re just an adopted daughter. Do you really think the Previns will give you anything?Â
“Sister? Ha! My dear sister, you’re getting what you deserve!”Â
“I had the gum Aiden chewed tested.” It was Stella’s voice.Â
“There were illegal substances in it. Sophie, whatever problem you have, come at me. But if you touch my child, I’ll kill you!”Â
Sophie didn’t sound scared at all. She burst out laughing.Â
“Oh, so you found out? Guess you’re not that stupid. But why didn’t you call the police?”Â
Stella stayed silent.Â
“Because you don’t have enough proof, right? Heh. Coming to scheme against me with no real evidence?Â
Idiot.”Â
Smack!Â
The sound of a slap was so loud it triggered the motion–sensor lights in the hallway.Â
Sophie lost it. “You hit me?!”Â
She screamed, “Believe it or not, I can make your family of three die tomorrow!”Â
“Try me, Sophie,” Stella snapped back. “If you cross the line, I’ll make sure you lose everything!”Â

After the argument ended, Stella walked out from around the corner.Â
When she saw Alice standing not far away, she didn’t look embarrassed at all.Â
She walked over calmly.Â
“Ms. Spencer, I’m sorry,” Stella said..Â
Alice’s tone was calm. “You were in a public area. You didn’t bother me, so no need to apologize.”Â
Stella looked surprised for a second.Â
Then, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.Â
“Today isn’t a good time, but I’d love to grab a drink with you another day, if you’re up for it.”Â
“Sure.” Alice nodded.Â
As soon as Stella left, Sophie came out.Â
Sophie was even more striking in appearance.Â
Her eyes were full of barely hidden scheming.Â
Yet she carried herself with an overbearing air, as if she owned the place.Â
“Who are you?” Sophie asked, looking Alice up and down.Â
“WhoÂ
Suddenly, she remembered seeing Alice online.Â
“Oh, you’re that influencer.”Â
She laughed.Â
“I guess I should call you Mrs. Nolan.”Â
Alice raised her eyebrows slightly.Â
“Ms. Sophie, the second daughter of the Previns.”Â
She stressed the “second daughter.”Â
Sophie’s face immediately darkened.Â
The Previns had two daughters–Stella was adopted, and Sophie was the biological one.Â
That made a big difference.Â
At home, Sophie always acted like she was the only heiress.Â

To keep her happy, her parents had married off Stella to Colton Rowland, a not–so–capable young manÂ

from the Rowlands,Â
Colton used to be a playboy, but he settled down after marriage.Â
The Rowlands were a big, influential family with lots of kids.Â
Colton could get away with being a playboy, but when he tried to do something ambitious, it got in the way of others.Â
Stella’s life had been pretty rough because of it.Â
Colton still wasn’t very accomplished and had little presence at home.Â
Sophie, however, was flashy and unstoppable, drawing everyone’s eyes wherever she went.Â
“Since you’re here in Torenridge, I bet there’s going to be a lot of gossip, Mrs. Nolan.Â
“I was getting bored lately, but I guess I don’t have to worry about that anymore.Â
“There’s an angelic art style appreciation event soon. You must come, Mrs. Nolan.”Â
“I haven’t been in the spotlight much lately. If I stand next to you, maybe I’ll get some free publicity.”Â
Her words clearly put Alice down, making her sound like just a pretty face who attracts attention.Â
.Â
Before Alice could say anything, Sophie’s tone shifted.Â
“Look at me,” she said, smiling suddenly.Â
“Why am I saying this? People like Mr. Eric always plan carefully. Even if he wants to get rid of someone, he’ll make sure everything’s ready.Â
“By theÂ
way,Â
Mr. Eric brought you here. Did he say anything about taking you back?”Â
Sophie guessed that the Rowlands and Nolans might have some cooperation.Â
She wondered if Eric wanted to ask the Rowlands for a favor to help him dump Alice, this problem.Â
In her eyes, Alice, this country girl, had let the Nolan Group milk all the benefits from the Spencers.Â
She was no longer useful.Â
