“So that means the people from the Martinez family won’t be able to return to Maplef anytime soon?” 

Truman nodded. 

“By the time they finish cooperating with the investigation, the Switchback project will be underway. 

“Even if Yvette has great abilities, it won’t matter anymore.” 

For safety reasons, Eric drove everyone back to their place first before taking Alice home 

“If you’re tired, just turn on the massage mode.” 

Alice nodded, leaned back against the seat, and closed her eyes to rest. 

The car moved very slowly. 

The scenery outside drifted by little by little. 

It felt like ancient times, when carts moved slowly, and a whole life… 

Eric slowly looked away. 

Alice was not actually asleep. 

“We didn’t see Daniel today. What did you send him to do?” 

Eric’s lips curved into a smile. 

“You really can’t miss anything.” 

Alice looked out the window. With the holidays coming, the streets were full of festive lights. 

Many people were shopping, and everything looked lively and prosperous. 

“I’m guessing you sent him to investigate those archaeology team members, right?” 

Alice began sorting through their information in her mind.

Thinking about it, she had met one of them before.

Back when an ancient tomb was discovered near Brinet Hill, she had been curious and wanted to take a look. 

By accident, she cracked several mechanisms and greatly sped up the archaeology team’s work. 

The team leader had sincerely asked her to stay. 

But she still had many things to handle overseas, and many people support their families.

So she naturally refused. 

At that time, she wasn’t even making money yet, but she had already become familiar to many archaeologists, which was really troublesome. 

The only upside was that those people were quite innovative. She later invited them to work with the Nolan Group on a Global Theme Hotel. 

The project was already finished and just waiting for inspection. 

Once the preview designs were released, they could be posted on social media. 

After that would come official promotion. 

By the end of the year, guests could move in directly. 

So after Eric reminded her, she started pushing the progress again. 

She added, “Those people are fine. They’re nationally recognized experts who receive government funding. There’s no way they would fake anything.” 

Eric shook his head. “I’m just curious. It seemed like they recognized you.” 

Alice was shocked. 

That sentence felt like a bomb. 

She even started to wonder if Eric had learned how to read minds. 

“Mr. Eric, aren’t you overthinking it?” 

One of Eric’s best traits was that he knew how to go along with others.

He nodded. “Lately, because of the snake venom, I’ve felt like I’m in a constant haze. It’s very strange.” 

Seeing how serious he looked, Alice took it seriously too. 

“No problem. When we get back, I’ll continue detox treatment for you.” 

Eric smiled. “Sounds good.” 

After getting the news, Ruby, who was at the Nolans‘ residence, was furious. 

But because her public image was that of a gentle and elegant woman, she couldn’t just smash things as she did at the company. 

When Oscar returned after taking his medicine and saw how angry she was, he couldn’t help but smile. 

“I haven’t seen you like this in years. Looks like that person really is capable.” 

This made him curious, and he wanted to meet that person himself. 

“You know very well that Alice is pushing step by step, yet you’re still helping her!” 

Oscar was actually surprised. 

It seemed Alice was even more impressive than he had imagined. 

He started thinking about whether he should pass those overseas matters to Alice. 

Although his health had improved after being bedridden for so many years, it was impossible for him to fully recover. 

So overseas affairs had been delayed all this time. 

While remote work was possible, some things still needed on–site handling to truly have authority. 

“Oscar, what are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about divorcing me?” 

Ruby let out a cold laugh when she saw him deep in thought. 

“You’re really heartless. When the Nolan Group needed me back then, why didn’t you talk about divorce?”

Oscar frowned in displeasure after his thoughts were interrupted. 

“Ruby, you should know why I’m not divorcing you right now.” 

Ruby sneered. “How would I know? Don’t tell me it’s for the kids?” 

The kids were already grown and could take care of themselves. 

Michael could now stand on his own as well. 

Now you remember your duty as a father? 

You want to give the kids a complete family? 

Don’t you think that excuse is far too forced?

Ruby believed Oscar had feelings but was hiding them well, unwilling to admit he didn’t want a divorce. 

But Oscar shook his head. 

His expression was calm, as if Ruby’s words could not anger him at all. 

“When you married me back then, you were indeed decent, and I did think about living a good life with you. 

“But during the time I was seriously ill, you teamed up with that person, successfully took control of the Nolan Group, and even extended your reach into many other businesses.”
