“Mrs. Nolan, what are you doing here?” Sophie saw Alice walk over and thought she was being ridiculous. 

Today’s issue was the Previns‘ own family matter. 

The reason Sophie had chosen to say all this in public was that she knew the media was 

present. 

The media loved writing about scandals inside wealthy families. 

And people loved reading them. 

With an audience, Previn Group’s name recognition would rise. 

And once the name rose, their businesses would follow. 

This method was simple, efficient, and had never failed. 

They’d just lost a huge amount of money at the auction. Of course, she wanted to make it back somehow. 

But now that Alice had stepped in, maybe the gossip would become even more explosive. 

Maybe it would actually help her. 

That was why Sophie deliberately pulled Rosalie along, ready to put on a full show. 

Rosalie naturally understood her daughter’s intention. 

She also wanted to trap Stella and find a way to drag Alice down with her. 

After all, she had already promised that mysterious person. 

As long as Alice was ruined or locked up, her task would be complete, and the Previns would receive a large sum of money. 

They’d also get countless projects. 

After that, forget Nolan Group. Even the whole world would have a place for the Previns. 

But suddenly, Alice spoke calmly.

“When I came to Torenridge, I looked into the Previns out of curiosity.

“That’s when I learned that Ms. Stella was already working part–time back in high school. 

“You might ask, why not elementary school? 

“Because of compulsory education.” 

As soon as she said that, laughter rippled through the crowd. 

But after the laughter faded, shock followed. 

How could anyone from a wealthy family need to work part–time? 

Even as an adopted daughter, Stella’s allowance should’ve been more than enough. 

That should never have happened. 

As if he already knew what everyone was thinking, Eric directly turned on the large screen used earlier for auction displays. 

Very quickly, Stella’s complete record of part–time income from high school appeared on the 

screen. 

The entire venue went silent. 

Rosalie tried to stop it, but she was already too late. 

“The Previns adopted Stella back then because they’d lost a child, and Rosalie’s husband, Freddie, only wanted to comfort her. 

“Later, when Sophie was born, the adopted daughter’s existence got awkward, obviously. 

“I remember Stella also graduated from a top university, didn’t she? So why didn’t she enter her own family’s company but instead got married so early? 

“Whether a child is by birth or adoption, you still have a duty to raise her. 

“And back in high school, she was still a minor. That violates child protection laws, doesn’t it?” 

The murmurs around them were loud, and every word drilled straight into Rosalie’s ears. 

Her anger, 

which hadn’t fully settled, exploded all over again. 

“She did all of this willingly!” Sophie suddenly shouted. “She knew she was adopted and

wouldn’t take our money. What could we do?” 

: 

Rosalie looked at Alice with a dark expression. “What exactly are you trying to say?” 

Alice smiled. 

“You’re quite clever. You know I wouldn’t do this without a reason.” 

“Fine. I won’t beat around the bush. 

“First, Mrs. Previn, you should know that Nolan Group previously established an anti- trafficking division. 

“It specializes in searching for abducted children.” 

Rosalie frowned. 

She still didn’t understand. 

So Alice made it even simpler. 

“When my assistant was organizing those case files, she found something interesting.

“There was a trafficker who, after abducting a child, suddenly had a change of heart. And actually returned the child to a family. 

“Don’t you think that’s almost unheard of?” 

Rosalie’s mind raced, and she had already guessed something. 

“Mrs. Nolan, could you be clearer?” 

Her tone was no longer sharp. It even carried a hint of pleading. 

Alice nodded to Eric, who pulled up the old records. 

The photo on the big screen was of the orphanage where Stella had once lived. 

That was where Previn Group had adopted her. 

She was four years old at the time of adoption. 

But when she first entered the orphanage, she was still a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. 

There was nothing on her that could prove her identity.

The orphanage had no choice but to report it to the police and take her in. 

When Stella was four, the Previns, still grieving the loss of their daughter, came to the orphanage. 

Their original intention was simply to adopt a child for comfort. 

That day, they met the kids.

Even though other children were cute and well–behaved, Rosalie immediately noticed Stella, who was hiding in the corner, quiet and proud. She naturally stood out. 

After being adopted, Stella truly did live well for a while. 

But once the Previns‘ emotions stabilized and their relationship improved, it wasn’t long before Rosalie became pregnant again. 

Stella’s treatment took a sharp turn for the worse. 

Of course, the Previns had considered sending Stella back to the orphanage. 

But in the end, they still cared about their reputation.
