“Perhaps, people should be a bit more selfish.” 

Janice understood some of it, but not all. 

Chloe did not continue speaking because her phone rang. 

It was her husband calling. 

“I already said, there’s a dinner gathering today, I can’t go back. 

“You can’t help our child with homework? Is your master’s degree fake? 

“I told you I have my own things to do today. Understand?” 

After saying that, she hung up the phone directly. 

Hearing the argument, Janice walked over and asked, “Chloe, are you okay?” 

“I’m fine. People really should be a bit more selfish. Come on, let’s go have fun.”

Alice went to a hotel near the airport. 

Risa had prepared a room. 

Then two or three assistants were tidying up things nearby. 

“Recently, many people have been watching our company closely. If I don’t leave and go back to take charge, I’m afraid those people won’t be able to handle it.” 

Alice swirled her wine glass helplessly. “That’s fine too. After you go back, give those little brats a good lesson.” 

Risa laughed out loud. “You really have the heart to do that?” 

“Why wouldn’t I? When I rescued them back then, it wasn’t so they could slack off.” 

Alice thought of those years of narrow escapes from death and actually felt a bit nostalgic. 

“To be honest, after settling my mentor’s matters, I want to go back to that place from before.”

Risa laughed again. “You have always been adventurous. You really can’t sit still for even a 

minute. 

“Oh, right, I asked you to come see me off today because there are two things I want to tell. you.” 

“Go ahead.” Alice took another sip of wine. 

Lisa continued. 

“First, with the recent rise of angelic art style, painting has reached a new peak. There is a domestic and international art exhibition, and you have many works in it. They want to invite you to show up.” 

Alice asked about the location. “No time.” 

Risa rolled her eyes at her.. 

“You always use this reason when you need to show your face. Every single time. Can’t you change it up?” 

Alice was amused. “Can’t be bothered to come up with a new one.” 

Risa knew that she had a sense of proportion with these matters, so she did not explain further. 

“Second, it’s about your foster parents. They are about to be released after completing their sentence.” 

Back then, her foster parents trafficked children and sold their own child, and the young Alice had sent them to prison. 

This 

year, 

their sentence was just coming to an end. 

Alice could never forget those two people. 

All the shadows of her childhood were inflicted by them. 

Hunger, beatings… 

All vividly before her eyes. 

“It’s good that they’re coming out.” 

Alice had no feelings for her foster parents. When she thought of tham

“Some things weren’t settled clearly back then. Now that they’re out, they naturally need to be settled properly.” 

Risa nodded. “Have you always suspected that the matter of the real and fake daughters was your foster parents‘ scheme?” 

Alice understood her foster parents very well. “They are greedy for money, but they have self- 

awareness. 

“At that time, the Spencers were already considered a prestigious family in Mapleford. No matter how bold they were, they wouldn’t dare casually touch a Spencer.” 

So in this matter, they were only the executors. The mastermind behind the scenes was someone else. 

Alice fell into deep thought. 

This kind of situation was nothing more than seeking revenge or fighting over interests. 

No matter which one it was, the person should have been familiar with the Spencers or even had quite a bit of interaction with them. 

Over the years, she had also investigated the situation in Mapleford back then. 

Nolan Group was considered a century–old, prestigious family and had always been a leader in Mapleford. 

Then there were the Martinezes, the Browns, the Quintanas, and so on. 

All were suspicious. 

Risa glanced at the time. There was not much time left before boarding. “Although I’ll be abroad, as long as you make one call, I’ll come back immediately.” 

Risa’s expression also turned serious, very solemn. 

Alice knew her intentions and smiled slightly. “When you’re filming your movie, I’ll you.” 

Risa nodded. “It’s a deal.” 

Alice was a bit reluctant to part with her best friend.

“Sigh, after you leave, I’ll definitely miss you every day.”

Risa blinked. “Really? Honestly, if I had a husband like Mr. Eric, I might not even miss you.” 

Alice rolled her eyes. Had she trusted the wrong person after all? 

Lisa left. 

Alice drove back alone. 

There was a traffic accident on the overpass, so she stopped the car and waited. 

There were traffic police ahead maintaining order. 

Suddenly, an elderly man dressed in black stopped a traffic policeman. 

It seemed he was asking for directions. 

After the policeman patiently explained, the elderly man still did not leave. 

In the end, the policeman found a colleague to escort the elderly man away. 

The traffic policeman rode a motorcycle and took the elderly man along the emergency lane, passing right by Alice. 

Alice happened to be looking out the window. 

The elderly man flashed by. 

She felt that this person looked somewhat familiar. 

But for the moment, she could not recall who it was.
