Nydia collapsed to the floor at once.Â
She seemed to pass out.Â
:Â
The police officer froze. “Did you just knock someone out right in front of me?”Â

Alice looked at him calmly. “Take her to the lounge and let her rest. She should sleep for about two hours.”Â
The officer was stunned.Â
He finally realized Alice was helping Nydia.Â
After all, Nydia had not slept for seven days and seven nights.Â
Her body had reached its limit.Â
“Thank you, Ms. Spencer,” he said.Â
He bent down and lifted Nydia into his arms.Â
Inside, he let out a quiet sigh.Â
Nydia had taken three years to heal from her last heartbreak.Â
She had finally moved on and found someone who truly cared about her.Â
They were about to get married.Â
Then the Jamie incident happened.Â
From now on, that shadow would likely follow her every day.Â
Just whenÂ
youÂ
think things are finally better, trouble comes again.Â
Alice knew nothing about their tangled love and grudges.Â
She only felt a deep sadness when she saw the “body” on the table, roughly stitched together.Â
1/4 It seemed like a peaceful and stable society, but someone was always paying the price behindÂ

the scenes.Â
She bowed deeply to Jamie before stepping forward.Â
Once again, she carefully separated the body piece by piece, slowly examining everything.Â
Eric was taken to the records room.Â
He had become the head of the Nolan Group not only because he was Oscar’s son, but also because he was truly capable.Â
“Mr. Eric, I know about the Huglan case,” Lonnie Young, the deputy police chief, said with a wide smile, personally inviting him to sit down.Â
“You and Ms. Spencer acted in self–defense. You’re the victims here.”Â
Eric already guessed what was coming.Â
He raised his eyes and said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”Â
Lonnie gave an awkward smile and pointed to the piles of files stacked nearby.Â
“We need your help to sort and analyze the data in these records,” he said.Â
“I know you’re good at this, Mr. Eric. I was hoping you could help.”Â
Earlier, Eric had seen Alice taken away and assumed they were being questioned separately.Â
He hadn’t expected this.Â
It seemed like Alice was being fully put to use as well.Â
He walked over and sat down, flipping open a file at random.Â
His brow immediately furrowed.Â
“These documents involve classified information. I can’t review them.”Â
Lonnie rushed over. “Mr. Eric, please help us. These are exactly what Ms. Spencer is looking for. If you help, it’ll make things much easier for her.Â
Eric fell silent at this.Â

Did he really look that easy to fool?Â

Seeing Eric’s calm but uncooperative expression, Lonnie sighed helplessly. He had no choiceÂ
but to pull up the surveillance feed from the autopsy room.Â
On screen, Alice was working steadily and carefully, completely focused.Â
Eric watched for a long moment, then shot Lonnic a cold look.Â
Lonnie knew this move was unfair, but Julius had already arranged everything.Â
He had no choice but to follow orders and take Eric’s anger.Â
Thankfully, Eric understood priorities.Â
When he saw how serious Alice was, he finally calmed down and began helping with the analysis.Â
Lonnie let out a breath of relief.Â
It seemed like Julius was right. Alice was Eric’s weak point.Â
When a person has a weak spot, they can become vulnerable, but they can also become far stronger.Â
Lonnie left the office. The officers waiting outside looked uneasy.Â
“Many people are offering bail for Ms. Spencer,” one said.Â
Lonnie waved his hand. “Follow the same protocol. Escort them away and tell them we won’t let their goodwill go to waste.”Â
The officer looked troubled. “But the one who shows up this time isn’t easy to send away.”Â
Alice had no idea who was trying to get her out.Â
All her attention was on Jamie.Â
She only wanted to finish the work as quickly as possible and then rest.Â
Her body was strong, but even she couldn’t keep going like this forever.Â
Those at the estate had no idea what they were missing.Â

They were too busy calculating their gains.Â

Ruby sat in her room, sipping tea, while Sandy sighed beside her.Â

“Mom, something feels off,” Sandy said. “Eric and Alice are both extremely sharp. There’s no way they’d get taken in so easily.Â
“I heard many people went there to help. Stella just moved here, but even she showed up.”Â
Ruby didn’t seem concerned.Â
“It’s nothing serious. Even for an ordinary person, the worst would be a few days of detention.”Â
Eric wasn’t an ordinary man; the police would let him go.Â
Things were different in his case; if Eric were held for several days, people outside would start questioning his ability.Â
If he couldn’t even get over a minor fight, his reputation would suffer.Â
Those who once wanted to work with him would think twice.Â
Of course, if Eric walked out freely, it wouldn’t affect her at all.Â
So, Ruby chose to sit back and watch.Â
Over at Irene’s place, both Matt and Josh had arrived.Â
Matt gently massaged Irene’s shoulders.Â
“Mom,” he said quietly, “Eric still hasn’t come out.”Â
