Chapter 270 The Best Man in the World 

“I–I… I guess she really has you completely bewitched! 

“Mr. Eric, you’ll regret this sooner or later!” 

Eric let out a cold laugh. 

“My biggest regret is that I ever had an engagement with you.” 

Linda couldn’t believe it–she nearly fainted again from sheer rage. 

Luckily, Gary reacted fast and caught her. 

“Mr. Eric, weren’t those words just now a bit too much?” 

Eric shot back, “Can you tell who your real sister is now?” 

Gary froze at the question. 

Even his grip on Linda loosened slightly. 

He looked toward Alice, suddenly guilty. 

My real sister… 

Maybe… 

“Alice, just now…” 

“Mr. Gary.” 

There was clear impatience in Alice’s tone. 

“Mr. Eric and I are in a hurry. Move aside.” 

Gary’s face went pale instantly. 

Alice wouldn’t even listen to an apology–let alone reconcile. 

She didn’t want to say a single extra word. 

The way she treated him was worse than how she’d treat a stranger. 

He felt like something had stabbed straight into his chest.

It hurt. 

And after that brief pain came a hard–to–describe panic. 

He felt like something had slipped away without him noticing. 

And no matter how he reached, he couldn’t catch it. 

“Alice…” 

Right in front of him, Alice grabbed Eric’s sleeve and turned to leave. 

Thankfully, this was a small plaza with plenty of space. 

Otherwise, they’d have to keep dealing with the disgust. 

Watching her walk away only intensified the panic in Gary’s chest. 

Instinctively, he wanted to chase after her. 

But someone grabbed him. 

Linda’s eyes were red from crying. “Gary, I’m so upset–why are they treating me like this?! 

“I really have nothing now! 

“What am I supposed to do?” 

Seeing her like that, Gary couldn’t help but sigh. 

“You’re emotionally unstable right now. I’ll take you to the hospital first, see a therapist, okay?” 

Linda didn’t refuse. “Mm. I heard Dr. Brown at St. Anne Hospital is really good. I want an appointment with him.” 

“Alright. Let’s go–get in the car.” 

Gary looked again in Alice and Eric’s direction. 

He saw they were already in the car, with zero intention of acknowledging him. 

Gary was silent for a while. 

For a moment, he couldn’t even describe what he was feeling. 

“Gary, let’s go first. The reporters will be out any minute.”

Seeing him keep staring after Alice, Linda hated it so much she could barely breathe. 

But she still had to keep up the innocent act. 

Gary finally snapped back. “Okay.” 

Alice got into the car, and Daniel quickly turned on the heater. 

Daniel had just watched Eric go absolutely ruthless, and he was thrilled. 

Mr. Eric isn’t calm anymore! 

That means he’s truly invested now! 

Alice finally asked what had been bothering her 

“Mr. Eric–what was that back there?” 

Was something being set up? 

Only then did Eric look at her. 

The faint anger on his face hadn’t fully faded. 

“If the Spencers come near you again in the future, don’t hold back.” 

Alice nodded–though the thing was, she’d never held back in the first place. 

If the law allowed murder, she would’ve already ended them–so they’d stop popping up to annoy her. 

So, they wouldn’t keep showing off and getting on her nerves. 

Then, she blinked. “That’s it?” 

Eric finally realized what she meant, and his expression turned slightly awkward. 

“What else would there be?” 

Alice studied him again. 

“Mr. Eric … you’re really not acting like yourself today.” 

Eric’s face was calm, giving nothing away.

Daniel chimed in to help him out.

“Mrs. Nolan, Mr. Eric is always like this with people he cares about. If you didn’t know, that just means you don’t understand him well enough yet!” 

Alice looked at Eric in surprise. 

Eric’s expression didn’t change, but his hands tightened unconsciously. 

“Then, I’m really fortunate.” 

Daniel chuckled. 

“Mrs. Nolan, you should absolutely feel lucky you married Mr. Eric. 

“I’ll bet my life on it–Mr. Eric is the best man in the world. 

“Forget everyone else–I’m a grown man, and I’m jealous of you.” 

Eric was utterly speechless. 

That last line was so unnecessary. 

Alice laughed. 

“What I mean is–I’m glad Mr. Eric and I have a stable doctor–patient relationship.” 

At least for now. 

The future? We’ll see. 

And honestly, with someone like Eric, a doctor–patient relationship was the most stable kind of bond. 

Spouses get divorced. Lovers break up. Families turn on each other. 

But a doctor–patient relationship involves your life–people don’t cut that off so easily. 

Daniel was surprised to hear that. 

That’s not what I meant… 

Eric gave him a deeply meaningful look again. “Focus on driving.”
