Daniel didn’t say anything. He felt pretty wronged.Â
Sigh–when is Mrs. Nolan going to finally get it?Â
Or maybe she already did … and just refused to admit it.Â
He was seriously exhausted.Â

When would he finally see them make it official and welcome a little Nolan into the world?Â
It was driving him insane.Â
After they returned to the villa, Alice ran a healing bath and made Eric soak for a full hour.Â
Then, she went to the study and started readingÂ
At the Spencers‘ residence.Â
A heavy gloom hung over the place.Â
Linda–the instigator of it all–was still hospitalized and hadn’t come home.Â
According to Andy, her mental state was dangerous and required inpatient care.Â
Gary felt sorry for her, so of course, he let Linda stay.Â
He even thoughtfully hired a caregiver to look after her.Â
After that, he went home himself, trying to figure out how to deal with the crisis in front of them.Â
All five of them had returned.Â
Boston was the last to arrive.Â
He was a celebrity, and with the Spencer family in trouble, things weren’t going well for himÂ
either.Â
This time, he took a long detour just to avoid the reporters.Â
But online, dirt about him was everywhere.Â

If they couldn’t find something to draw public attention away right now, he wasn’t far from getting blacklisted.Â
Things were spiraling into something they couldn’t even measure, and right now, they were helpless.Â
“Boston, you’re the ‘fresh new face‘ right now, so your influence is bigger. Why don’t you go live? The five of us can clarify things online.”Â
Boston understood better than anyone how vicious online backlash could be.Â
“Can you actually explain it clearly?Â
“Was the partnership with James made up out of thin air?”Â
If Spencer Group dared claim it was fake, the police investigation would slap them in the face with proof.Â
He normally didn’t smoke at home.Â
But Boston was so irritated, he lit one anyway and took a few hard drags.Â
“The only way is to get the one person who stayed out of all this–Alice–to step in.Â
“She’s part of this family. If she’s willing, she can single–handedly pull our stock back up.”Â
That was his suggestion–and the only option.Â
The others fell silent.Â
Except Scott.Â
“I told you a long time ago–you’d regret it.”Â
He gave a cold snort.Â
Recently, he’d been gradually building his own race team. Next, he’d be competing overseas.Â
And lately, there was an art exhibition in Drakoria–an opportunity to showcase cultures from both home and abroad.Â
This time, they’d even invited his team to do a racing exhibition.Â
The funding was significant.Â

He accepted.Â
But he still asked around.Â
The venue for the exhibition was all under the Nolan Group.Â
He could only laugh bitterly at the time.Â

Even though Alice was disappointed in all of them, in the end, she was still willing to leave them an opening.Â
Unfortunately, they didn’t understand.Â
And they never would.Â
Charlie was irritated. Before, it was because he’d listened to Scott that his view of Alice had started to shift.Â
If it had kept going like that, things might’ve gotten better and better.Â
But!Â
Then, James showed up and completely overturned his thinking.Â
And because of Linda’s tearful complaints, he’d taken the wrong path.Â
So the moment it came up, he felt suffocated withÂ
“You’re just a hindsight genius.”Â
Scott sneered. “Didn’t I warn you before?”Â
Gary related to that more than anyone.Â
Back at the chess tournament, he’d taken so many detours, thinking he’d shine.Â
Who would’ve thought all the spotlight would end up on Alice alone?Â
He became the backdrop–and had no choice but to be the backdrop.Â
Watching those big shots treat Alice with such respect, his chest had twisted in pain.Â
But because he was her brother, he ultimately didn’t lower himself to say anything to her.Â
Right then, Damon sighed.Â
“Even if she really has skills, her character is terrible. Even if we beg, it won’t matter.Â

“Why are you all staring at me?”Â
Damon spread his hands. “I already told her about my mentor before. She refused.”Â
“She even said my mentor deserved it.Â

“That was someone I schemed and fought so hard to apprentice under. She ruined my entire life–and now she has the nerve to blame me.Â
“And you think she’s going to help us out of this mess?”Â
He sneered and glanced at the others.Â
“I’m telling you–don’t humiliate yourselves.”Â
Scott didn’t want to hear any more. He turned and went upstairs.Â
Boston’s mind was a mess, too. He didn’t want to talk either, so he went upstairs to rest.Â
Damon’s words left Gary and Charlie tangled up inside.Â
As brothers–and as men with some standing–they really couldn’t bring themselves to grovel.Â
Suddenly, Charlie’s phone rang.Â
“You’ve gotÂ
the wrong number.”Â
He was irritated and hung up instantly.Â
But the call came again. This time, he didn’t hang up–he listened carefully to what the other person had to say.Â
