Hence, there has to be more to her relationship with that person. In that case, could that person be the one that
Irvin mentioned? The one who has been with her, supporting her, and protecting her for the past seven years.
“If such a person truly exists, could it be that Alice has gone to look for him now?” Irvin had decided to speak his
mind today, even if it meant he would risk getting severely injured by Ethan.
Ethan’s eyes flickered faintly. Then, he whisked out his phone and started calling Alice. In truth, he did call Alice
when he saw no sign of her after he came out of Charles’ lounge. Unfortunately, Alice’s line was busy at that time.
Now that he called her again, Alice’s line remained busy. Still, Ethan refused to give up and continuously made
several calls but received the same prompt.
“Judging from how Alice is on the phone for so long, there is a chance she’s talking to that person.” Irvin constantly
probed Ethan’s reaction at the cost of his safety today.
In reality, Alice was currently on the phone with the head nurse of the nursing home. She desperately needed to
obtain Charles’ blood sample, and at the same time, she also needed to find out Charles’ condition over the years.
She would only be able to carry out her plan after having the full picture of the situation.
The nursing home was originally under the Glenn Group.
Although Elijah had snatched the company from her nose seven years ago, that didn’t mean everyone in Glenn
Group would obey his order.
Even though Alice didn’t take any action against Elijah in the past seven years, she still had eyes and ears in Glenn
Group’s headquarters and many businesses under it.
The head nurse worked efficiently. Shortly afterward, she sent over the blood sample that Alice asked for.
After she hung up the phone, she realized that her phone died immediately after. That’s strange. I recalled that I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad charged my phone last night. Was my phone not charging?
For that reason, the prompt finally changed from ‘the number you have dialed is currently busy’ to ‘the number you
have dialed is out of service’ when Ethan called Alice again.
“No way. Is Alice turning off her phone because she doesn’t want to answer your call?” Irvin didn’t say these words
for the sake of provoking Ethan. Rather, it was an instinctive blurt. Hence, Irvin wanted to give himself several slaps
so badly as soon as those words escaped his lips. I am trying to trigger Ethan, but that doesn’t mean I want to give
him an earth-shattering blow. Now that I’ve said those words to him, will he actually beat the hell out of me?
When Irvin thought of that, he cautiously looked at Ethan and discovered that Ethan had decided to ignore him.
Even so, the look on Ethan’s face still spooked him.
Ethan was currently making a call. However, it shouldn’t be calling Alice as it instantly went through.
“Find out where Alice has gone to.” Ethan’s facial expression was indeed glacial that it could make one’s blood run
cold. However, it wasn’t because he believed the nonsense Irvin blurted. Instead, he was worried that something
happened to Alice. Could it be that she was actually pretending to be strong? Or could it be that she actually still
cared about the things the Woland Family did to her? Will she truly drown in sorrow because of this? According to
Irvin, all women are actually vulnerable, even if they don’t show it. In that case, will she be hiding away and crying
secretly?
At this moment, Alice, whom Ethan thought might be hiding away and crying secretly, was taking the blood sample
to Howell Corp.
“Are you going to do another DNA test? Whose DNA test is it this time?” Lydia took the blood sample that Alice
handed over and asked thoughtlessly.
“Old Mr. Woland and mine,” Alice replied casually without any emotion.
Lydia’s movements stiffened a little. She swiftly looked at Alice, and a rare tint of seriousness painted on her face as
she inquired, “What’s going on? What happened?”
As Alice’s friend, Lydia surely knew everything about her. Therefore, she knew Alice would never take Charles’
blood sample for a DNA test if something hadn’t happened.
“Perhaps because they think that I have no worth for them. That’s why they want to send me to prison and kill me,”
Alice was calm and collected, and her tone was flat when she talked about that particular matter. It was as though
she was talking about someone else’s affair instead of her own. After a brief pause, she added, “This time, it’s Old
Mr. Woland who was the mastermind.”
“F*ck! What a monster! No, he is simply worse than a monster,” Lydia cursed after failing to suppress her anger.
“The members of the Woland Family are all a piece of sh*t!
“Darling, I don’t find the necessity for you to do this DNA test. Those pieces of sh*t worse than a monster are
absolutely not related to you. They are definitely not your kin.”
Regardless, Alice still needed the result from this DNA test if she wanted to carry out her next plan. Therefore, she
said, “I still have to make one last confirmation.” Actually, Alice already knew the answer through Charles’ reaction
earlier in the banquet. But since she had always been meticulous in handling her affairs, she figured there was no
harm in carrying out this final verification step.
“All right. I will have someone run the test and ensure the result is out as soon as possible.” After a moment of
reconsideration, Lydia also concluded that Alice should indeed carry out the final step of verification because only
after the result was confirmed that Alice could do whatever she needed to do without any worries.
Lydia handed over the blood sample to her assistant and even specifically gave a few instructions.
“Darling, let’s ask Cecilia out and have a drink.” Lydia immediately took Alice’s arm after she finished arranging the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmatter.
“What’s the matter? You think I will drown myself in sorrow?” Alice smiled in amusement. “Do you honestly think
those pieces of sh*t are worth my tears?”
Truthfully, when Alice found out that Lucas might not be Charles’ biological son and that she might not be related to
the Woland Family, she bore no other emotions except for feeling unfairness and sadness on Lucas’ behalf.
“Of course, I know they are not worth your tears. I just feel that we haven’t gotten together in a long while. Since I
happen to be free today, let’s get a drink and have some fun.” Lydia was relieved as she could tell that Alice really
didn’t take this matter to heart.
Then, Lydia called Cecilia, asking her to meet them at Royale.
By the time Caleb retrieved information about Alice, she was already at Royale with Lydia and Cecilia.
“Mr. Knight, Young Madam Knight had first taken Old Mr. Woland’s blood sample to Howell Corp for a DNA test, and
she is now at Royale with others,” Caleb immediately reported to Ethan after he was ascertained with the
information he retrieved.
“Who is with her in Royale?” Ethan’s eyes flickered faintly, and he suddenly remembered the incident where Alice
praised the person on the other end of the phone for being the best while on the phone in the hotel.
“Lydia Howell from Howell Corp, and Cecilia Hall, the eldest heiress of Hall Electronics. They are Young Madam
Knight’s best friends.” Caleb truthfully reported the information he obtained without knowing what was currently in
Ethan’s mind.
Not even Ethan himself realized that he had breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Caleb’s words.
Nonetheless, Ethan headed to Royale the moment he ended the call.
