Huglan finally spoke, “Okay.”Â
But his eyes stayed locked on his phone.Â
At last, it rang.Â
He picked up right away.Â
The voice on the other end sounded neither male nor female. It was clearly using a voice changer.Â
“Hello,” Huglan said with a forced smile, his tone overly polite.Â

The mysterious person snorted. “You messed up. I’ll give you one last chance to fix it. Fail again, and I’ll send your whole family of three to hell.”Â
That “family of three” obviously included Linda.Â
Huglan chuckled nervously. “Just tell me what to do. I’ll do it.”Â
The caller said, “The Rowlands, the richest family in Torenridge, own a national treasure–a famous landscape painting. Before you became a trafficker, you were a famous thief. Stealing one painting shouldn’t be too hard, right?”Â
Huglan shuddered. “But I’m old now, and I haven’t-”Â
“Alice is going there to get that painting. You can steal it from her. You must succeed. No failure.”Â
Huglan froze.Â
He didn’t expect to deal with Alice again.Â
Meanwhile, everyone was gossiping about Alice’s business trip.Â
Ruby had already returned and was taking back control bit by bit.Â
All the secret helpers Irene left behind had been cleared out.Â
If Alice and Eric left now, it would be like handing the company over.Â
That would be a bad move.Â
Because of the Global Hotel incident, Alice’s status in the company had risen a lot.Â
The shareholders saw how hard she worked and appreciated that she didn’t hold a grudge against Ruby.Â
They saw her as a calm, kind–hearted person and treated her much better than before.Â
If she stayed and played her cards right, she could have made things very difficult for Ruby.Â
But if Alice left, she’d be giving Ruby the opening.Â
By the time she comes back, she might not be able to walk into the office anymore.Â

Janice was worried sick.Â
Chloe, who had been super quiet at the office ever since her husband’s incident, actually spoke up for once.Â
“If Ms. Spencer is leaving, she must have her own plan.”Â
Janice gritted her teeth.Â
“You don’t get it! The adoptive parents are still making trouble, and her real parents are about to come back.Â
“If Ms. Spencer leaves, who knows what kind of stories they’ll make up about her?”Â
Chloe nodded. “If you can think of all this, Ms. Spencer can too.”Â
Janice froze for a moment.Â
So Alice knew all this and was still leaving.Â
That meant the business trip to Torenridge was really important.Â

Spencers‘ residence.Â
Damon was busy packing his bags.Â
Linda insisted on going with him.Â
“Damon, you know everyone is saying mean things about me online right now. I can’t stand being in Mapleford anymore. Can you take me to Torenridge with you?”Â
Damon stopped packing. “I’m going to Torenridge to visit the Rowlands. I’m trying to make a comeback.”Â
He wasn’t in the mood to take Linda on a vacation.Â
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his sister.Â
It was just that survival came first.Â
Linda spoke carefully, “Actually, Mom and Dad will be back soon…”Â
“I know,” Damon said. He knew his parents could help with some problems.Â
But they weren’t omnipotent.Â
He would be gone for a week.Â
He would probably return around the same time they did.Â
If the Rowlands were willing to help, he could make a comeback. With his parents‘ extra support, he could be famous again.Â
Even going overseas would be better than staying here and being a nobody.Â
If the Rowlands refused to help, he’d just head back and wait at the airport to welcome his parents.Â

He could at least earn some goodwill first.Â
But bringing Linda along would make everything complicated.Â
Linda watched his face and guessed what he was thinking.Â
“The Rowlands you mentioned… the Rowland Group?”Â
Damon nodded.Â
That company might not be as big as Nolan Group, but in Torenridge, right next to Mapleford, it had been growing fast.Â
In just a few years, it had expanded quickly.Â
It was even starting to look like it could surpass Nolan Group.Â
Of course, that was partly because Eric had been in a coma for three years.Â
The Rowlands also worked in many fields. One of them was art, and they held their own art exhibitions.Â
In three days, an art exhibition would be held in Torenridge.Â
Experts and scholars from all over the world were coming. It was a perfect chance to get attention.Â
If he succeeded, he’d be the pride of the Spencers again, and he’d rub it in Alice’s face!Â
“Damon, did you forget? My high school classmate, Jennifer Rowland. Her uncle is now the CEO of the Rowland Group.”Â
Damon froze for a moment. Then he remembered the girl.Â
Back in high school, Linda had a close friend.Â
Jennifer’s family was well–off, so she attended a private elite school.Â
But in their senior year, Jennifer transferred schools.Â
Her whole family relocated their business out of Mapleford.Â
They settled in Torenridge.Â
