Sophie was the first to react. She stomped her foot in anger. “Mom, Dad, you heard her. She did this on purpose to humiliate me. I…” 

“Enough!” 

Rosalie clenched her fists at once. 

She looked at Stella with a cold, sharp look. 

But after a moment, she gave in. 

“Stella, I was wrong before. Sophie didn’t mean to cause trouble today. Please forgive her.” 

Her words made everyone there gasp. 

They were all people with status. 

They might not respect the Previns, but they still cared about appearances. 

Even if the Nolan Group was powerful, could they really push the Previns this far? 

Still, the Previns gave in. 

The Previns, who used to boss others around in business, now looked weak and helpless. 

Was Mr. Eric really that frightening? 

With that thought, everyone looked toward Eric. 

To be fair, Eric did have influence in the past. 

But three years ago, he fell into a coma, and the Nolan Group was taken over by Ruby. 

Now he was awake, yes, but all his power had been taken away. 

He was like a tiger with no fangs. 

So what were the Previns truly afraid of? 

Just then, Rosalie scolded the still–pouting Sophie and made her apologize to Stella. 

Stella gave a light “Mm,” treating it as accepting the apology. 

Rosalie immediately turned and gave Eric a flattering smile. 

“Mr. Eric, are you satisfied now?” 

Eric looked toward Alice.

Chapter 340 A Total Humiliation 

Alice glanced at her watch. “The exhibition is about to start. Let’s go back.” 

Sophie snorted coldly and turned away. 

Today had been a total humiliation. 

She didn’t even know how she could face her old friends anymore. 

Emery hurried after her and whispered, “This is weird. Your mom always spoils you. Why was she like that today?” 

Sophie was burning with anger. “How would I know? She’s acting totally different. I’m so mad.” 

She slammed her hand hard against the wall beside her. 

Only then did her anger ease a bit. 

Emery leaned on the wall and thought for a while. “I think your parents might owe Mr. Eric something.” 

But as she said it, she felt it wasn’t that simple. 

Emery’s parents cared a lot about pride and status. 

If Eric were just the future head of the Nolans, Sophie’s parents wouldn’t act this humbly. 

After all, she had seen them talk politely with Ruby before. 

They treated each other like equals. 

So the way they behaved toward Eric now could only mean there’s something else. 

She said, “Listen to your parents. Don’t cause trouble. 

“Wait until this event is finished. Then we’ll look into it and decide what to do.” 

Sophie took a few deep breaths before she could calm herself down. 

“For now, this is all we can do. But I won’t forget today’s shame. One day, I’ll make Alice pay for it!” 

Since they couldn’t figure it out, the two of them left together. 

Alice was also curious. 

She had heard plenty about Sophie’s parents‘ bad tempor. 

For them to act this low today, Eric must be holding something important against them. 

“Mr. Eric, you really made a scene today.” 

It wasn’t just the Previns. Other families who saw this would now be extremely cautious of the Nolan Group.

They would grow curious about Eric and start looking into him. 

By now, everyone had dispersed. Even Nicollo had left. 

Stella and Colton quickly followed after him. 

Soon, only the couple, Eric and Alice, remained. 

Eric lowered his eyes. 

Alice’s eyes gleamed, and there was a playful hint in her smile. 

But hidden under that smile was a hint of happiness. 

It must be because Sophie had been punished, which made her pleased. 

Without meaning to, his lips curved slightly. 

He even raised his hand and gently tapped Alice on the nose. 

Alice was startled. 

His fingers felt slightly rough. 

The light touch on the tip of her nose sent a tingly, fluttering sensation through her. 

Her heart skipped a beat. 

For a moment, she suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady. 

She quickly stepped back half a step. 

Eric was momentarily surprised by her reaction. 

He pulled his hand away, looking a bit awkward. 

“It’s nothing. Three years ago, Sophie’s parents went overseas with me, and I saved their lives.” 

Alice instinctively touched the tip of her nose. 

Maybe there was something on it earlier.

After all, a calm and restrained man like Eric probably wasn’t just trying to make contact with her. 

Sigh. Maintaining this doctor–patient relationship has been really tough lately. 

Her thoughts kept drifting to places they shouldn’t go. 

She raised her hand and pressed her forehead, forcing all those messy thoughts away. 

Then she said, “Just saving their lives shouldn’t be enough to make those ungrateful people act like this.”

Eric noticed how tired she looked and, without thinking, reached out to massage her temples.
