Everyone only knew that Alice valued Stella and had reached some kind of partnership with her, and they were all very envious. 

They had no idea what was really going on. 

After the dinner party, Alice planned to return to the hotel. 

Nicollo still needed needle therapy. 

She just didn’t expect to run into Damon at the hotel entrance. 

Damon was staying at this hotel anyway, so it was normal for them to run into each other. 

Alice had no intention of interacting with this so–called brother at all, so she treated him like a stranger and didn’t even want to give him a glance. 

But Damon blocked her path. 

“Something you need?” 

A hint of impatience showed up in Alice’s eyes. 

Her needle therapy sessions depended on timing and conditions, and if she missed the window, the results wouldn’t be as good. 

“If you’ve got something to say, make it quick. I’m busy.” 

In the past, Damon would’ve thought she was just putting on airs and didn’t know what she was talking about. 

But now he knew very well that she was genuinely busy. 

Still, no matter what, he was her biological brother. 

“I’m your brother. You can’t even spare a little time for me?” 

Alice rolled her eyes. 

Now he suddenly remembers he’s my brother? 

I’ve always felt like I’m an orphan with nobody. 

“Get to the point, okay?” 

Damon felt ignored. 

As the older brother, being brushed off like this was infuriating. 

But today, he was the one asking for help, so he couldn’t act high and mighty like before.

He took a deep breath and forced down his anger. 

“Today, I’m here to apologize.” 

Alice frowned. “Seen. Ignored.” 

Damon froze. 

He hadn’t even finished yet. 

“Wait.” 

He could only stop her again. 

He knew that trying to appeal to emotion and reason wasn’t going to work. 

He had to talk terms. 

“I want the painting you have. Eugenia’s.” 

Alice sneered. 

That’s bold. He’s not asking for it. He’s basically robbing me. 

She looked at him like he was an idiot.

“I can’t seem to ever take you seriously. Everything you say is nonsense, and it’s disgusting to hear.” 

Damon was humiliated again. 

But his tolerance was better than at the start. 

“I know you’ve always felt I didn’t like you or care much about you 

“I also know you’ve always been jealous of Linda and thought she should step aside, that all the love should’ve been yours. 

“But Linda grew up with the rest of us. Some bonds just can’t be compared. 

“That doesn’t mean the Spencers don’t accept you. 

“Name your price. Give me the painting, and I’ll help you with the Spencers. 

“You also know Mom and Dad are coming back. 

“They just want the family together. You don’t want to make them sad, do you?” 

Alice’s gaze turned cold. 

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone beg using a tone like they’re handing out charity.”

That made Damon feel awkward. 

Back then, he couldn’t stand a country girl at all, let alone accept one as a sister. 

If it weren’t for Linda’s marriage, he wouldn’t have gone into the mountains to bring her back. 

Even now, he still felt Alice wasn’t fit for polite society. 

But she had Eric backing her now. 

The Spencers had no choice but to give some ground. 

“I’m giving you a chance to fit into the Spencers.” 

Damon’s tone was stiff. 

“If Mom and Dad come back and find out what you’ve done, they won’t let it go. 

“If no one helps plead your case, do you really think you can hold onto the title of Mrs. Nolan? 

“I know you’re close with Stella. 

“She knows Aurelia. Getting a painting shouldn’t be hard. 

“If you give the painting to Mom and Dad, they might drop the matter. 

Alice almost laughed from anger. 

She finally understood what Damon was after. 

He wanted Eugenia’s work as a way to make a comeback. 

He could use Aurelia’s painting as a ladder to climb higher. 

What a schemer. 

With works from Eugenia and Aurelia, he might actually achieve fame and success. 

But why should I help someone who constantly looks down on me? 

“You’ve talked so much. Must be exhausting, huh.” 

She smiled coldly. 

“Go get some good rest. 

“Don’t wear yourself out, or your dear parents might worry.” 

Every word dripped with sarcasm. 

“Oh, and about those two paintings you mentioned.”

Damon was already furious, and when she brought that up again, his fists clenched instinctively. 

Alice burst out laughing. “You should sleep more. Anything’s possible in your dreams.” 

Damon was so angry his lungs felt like they were about to explode. 

He immediately stepped forward to teach Alice a lesson. 

Daniel, standing not far away, reacted fast and rushed over to stop Damon.
