That was the only way to stay ahead of things and avoid sabotage from others.Â
Her phone gave her real–time notifications about trending news.Â
She knew a bit about Nathan and Maria’s situation. She knew they were coming back.Â
But she didn’t really care.Â
So when Janice brought it up, Alice barely reacted.Â
She just gave a half–hearted “Oh” and moved on.Â
Janice was stunned by her indifference.Â
They are your biological parents!Â

Now that they’re coming back to Chanaea, shouldn’t you go play the doting daughter and ask them to discipline those five unruly sons of theirs?Â
Janice assumed any parents would be desperate to reclaim a daughter like Alice.Â
She’d already made up her mind–if those two did show up, she’d demand they offer Alice the same deal they gave Linda.Â
That fake heiress not only felt no guilt, but she’d even framed Alice.Â
Truly disgusting.Â
But unfortunately, there was never any real evidence to send Linda to jail.Â
Alice reminded her, “If you wait any longer, you’ll miss Chloe.”Â
Janice snapped out of it and hurried off at a jog.Â
Chloe was obviously way more important than the Spencer Couple.Â
At this point, Alice could finally retire in triumph.Â
She was sure Ruby wouldn’t come after her over Michael.Â
Now that the divorce was finalized, Ruby had taken over the departments Oscar used to run inÂ
secret.Â

Alice was still worried that something might go wrong, and everything she’d gained would slip through her fingers.Â

Since his mother wouldn’t up for him, Michael would have no choice but to swallow hisÂ
resentment.Â
Alice was just about to head home when she noticed a familiar figure standing by the corner.Â
It was Scott.Â
“Do you have a minute?”Â
His voice was cautious as he asked.Â
Alice checked her watch.Â
“Yeah, but not long. Just say what you need to say.Â
“If it’s about your parents coming back, forget it.”Â
Scott felt a pang at that.Â
Your parents?Â
Aren’t they your parents, too?Â
Oh, right.Â
From the day Alice was born, she never got a single drop of affection from her real parents.Â
They even targeted her.Â
No wonder she was hurt.Â
Even after Alice was brought back to the Spencer residence, she never got any real family affection.Â
Scott figured Alice must have given up on family a long time ago.Â
“I know you’re upset. But Dad and Mom really didn’t know any of this.Â
“Their jobs were special. They couldn’t reach the outside world, so they had no idea what you went through.Â

“Even Linda–she was practically raised by the five of us.”Â

Over the years, Nathan and Maria sent money to Gary, who was in charge of raising the rest of his brothers.Â
In the beginning, the Spencer brothers were all close. As they got older and started their own lives, they grew apart.Â
But they still respected Gary.Â
Linda was the glue that held the Spencer brothers together.Â
After a while, no one knew if they actually loved Linda for herself or because she represented the Spencers‘ family connection.Â
Then Alice came along.Â
The five brothers talked it over, and none of them thought their blood ties to Alice meant much.Â
Linda had grown up with them, and that meant she was special to all five of them.Â
Even though she wasn’t connected to them by blood, they decided no one else could ever take her place.Â
When they decided to bring Alice home, Linda wanted to leave. They tried everything to get Linda to stay.Â
They even did things to Alice they couldn’t forgive themselves for.Â
Alice rubbed her brow in frustration.Â
“Are you done?”Â
She turned to leave.Â
Scott raised his voice from behind.Â
“I’m not here to talk about Dad and Mom coming back. I just want to thank you.Â
“Thank you for the business deals you helped me land, as well as those investments. “I’m really sorry about everything that happened in the past.”Â
Scott apologized sincerely. He bowed deeply to Alice, not caring that everyone was watching,Â

“You’re way more noble than I am, and you value family more than I ever did.Â
“I was such an idiot before. I couldn’t tell glass from diamonds.Â
“I know even if I say I regret what I’ve done, you probably won’t forgive me.Â
“I don’t expect you to ever see me as your brother again.Â
“But I hope you won’t push me away.Â
“I know I’m selfish, but I still want to protect you as your brother.”Â
All the employees had stopped what they were doing.Â
Nobody saw that coming.Â
Scott was a legend in the racing world, and his reputation had always been solid.Â

Now, though, he was standing there with his pride in the dust, just hoping Alice would look hisÂ
