Chapter 335 Next Door 

Sophie had to admit that Alice was pretty capable. 

But in the eyes of a big, wealthy family, she was still just a useful ornament. 

Like the racing–cool, but no real value.

“Mrs. Rowland, you look decent. If you can’t go back to Mapleford, come find me. I’ll set you up with a good job.” 

Alice didn’t get mad at the jab. 

She just answered coolly, “Didn’t expect you’d care about me, Ms. Sophie. That’s nice. I’ll tell Mr. Eric later. I’m sure he’ll be so grateful that he’ll come thank you in person.” 

Sophie was still single because she was still obsessed with Eric. 

After Eric became a vegetative patient, she tried thinking about marrying someone else. 

But after countless blind dates, she couldn’t find anyone she liked. 

Luckily, Eric got better. 

But then Alice appeared. 

Now, fate gave her another chance. 

Alice came to Torenridge. 

Perfect. 

She was getting bored with bullying Stella anyway; she might as well “deal” with Alice. 

Sophie could tell Alice’s words were dripping with sarcasm, but she didn’t care. 

“Fine. Make sure you tell him. I’m always waiting for him.” 

With that, she turned to leave. 

Alice didn’t give her the chance to walk away. She grabbed Sophie’s arm. 

Before Sophie could react, Alice slapped her across the face. 

It perfectly matched the slap Stella had given her earlier, except Alice hit way harder. 

Sophie’s face instantly swelled up and burned with pain. 

“How dare you hit me!” 

Alice shot back, “Want me to pick a lucky day first to hit you?”

Sophie tried to strike back, but Alice caught her hand and slapped her again.

“Looks like you never learned the saying ‘loose lips sink ships.‘ I’ll teach you today.” 

Sophie tried to call her bodyguards, but even after getting hit twice, no one appeared. 

She started to panic, looking at Alice in disbelief. 

Just a country bumpkin! 

How does she have people protecting her in the shadows? 

Her heart raced as she yanked her arm away. 

“Just you wait!” 

She threw out a threat and quickly stormed off. 

When Daniel and Eric returned, Sophie was still in the hallway. 

Eric walked over and took her hand, as casual as ever. 

“Did Nicollo kick you 

out?” 

“I saved his life. He wouldn’t dare.” Alice didn’t pull her hand back. 

His hand was warm. 

Warmer than a hand warmer. 

Even though the hotel wasn’t cold. 

“Mrs. Nolan, I saw Linda downstairs earlier,” Daniel said. He wanted to give them some space, but he knew he had to report this. 

He felt like an unwanted third wheel. 

“She wanted to stay on the same floor as you, so she’s staying right next door to Mr. Rowland.” 

Alice was confused. 

Next to Nicollo? 

Suddenly, she was excited to see what Linda had planned. 

Hopefully, Nicollo would really feel her enthusiasm. 

“By the way, didn’t Nicollo’s wife pass away a long time ago?” she asked. 

Daniel quickly answered, “Yes, about 15 years.”

Alice clicked her tongue twice and said nothing else. 

But now that she’d asked, everyone was on alert.

Linda found out where Alice was staying. 

It was mostly so she could watch what Alice was up to lately. 

If she got a head start, maybe she could make a move first. 

She was betting on a chance–if she failed, things would just stay the same. But if she succeeded, she migh get something beyond what she imagined. 

Since Alice and Eric were married, they were definitely sharing a room. 

That meant Linda might still get a chance to get close to Eric. 

Thinking about it made her angry. 

Eric should have been her husband 

Taking him back wasn’t wrong–it was just taking what belonged to her 

That bitch, Alice, doesn’t deserve Eric. 

Lost in her thoughts, she opened her door. 

Before stepping inside, she noticed something and glanced sideways, 

A woman in a short skirt was walking into the room that was supposed to be Alice’s. 

Her outfit was simple, except that the skirt was a little too short. 

Linda frowned. 

Is Eric inside? 

Is Alice out? 

Or maybe someone else was trying to make a move on Eric while they were both inside? 

Ha! Idiot! 

She rolled her eyes. 

If Alice were easy to deal with, she wouldn’t be so unlucky. 

Forget it.

It wasn’t the time to make a move. Better to wait and watch. 

Maybe she’d get to see that woman thrown out. 

But things didn’t go the way she expected.
