The reason people called Alice a miracle doctor was because she took her patients seriously–more deeply than anyone else.
And the medication that brought Eric back from the brink? That was her own recent research.
He wasn’t just a patient; he was part of her experiment.
In other words, Eric’s medical data might directly affect the timeline of her entire drug development.
She was furious because of this
But Daniel wouldn’t stop running his mouth, and her anger had mostly faded by the time he was done talking.
She wasn’t heartless, after all.
She understood–people rarely got to live life on their own terms.
Once we get back, take a soak in the healing bath. I’ll detox you tonight,” she said.
Eric nodded. “Okay.”
Daniel sighed and started the car.
This house had the tensest doctor–patient relationship he’d ever seen–and somehow, he was the glue holding it together.
When they arrived home, Irene was already waiting by the front door.
“You’ve taken control of the fashion department,‘ she said coldly. “Now it’s time to let him go, don’t you think?”
Alice didn’t even bother to fake politeness.
“Breaking the law comes with consequences. Jail time isn’t something Eric or I made up, it’s a matter of federal law.”
Irene didn’t care for the lecture.
“Eric. I know you’re upset with me. But when you got sick and couldn’t even move from that bed, what was I supposed to do
watch the company crash and burn?”
She sighed. “Even if you hate me, I can understand that. But what did your uncles ever do wrong! If you go after them, don’t you think people will start looking down on our family?”
Eric’s voice was flat.
“I don’t care what they think.”
That made Irene laugh bitterly.
“Of course, you don’t. You don’t care whether I live or die. You don’t care about our family reputation either. So what am 1 supposed to do!”
She suddenly stepped in front of the door and pointed at the wall.
“Maybe I should just die right here. Let’s see if that gets your attention!”
And before anyone could react, she slammed herself into the wall.
She thought they would stop her, but no one moved to stop her–not this time. Irene slammed into the wall, hard
Blood streamed down her forehead as she collapsed to the ground, her face pale as chalk.

She looked like she might actually die.
Alice just stood there, watching, completely unmoved.
Ene’s expression was as dark as thunderclouds.
“Mr. Eric Hemy said gently, stepping forward with a sigh.
“Earlier today. Mrs. Irene said that if you refused to let this go, she’d host her funeral.”
Alice let out a sh
a short, cold laugh.
“Sounds good to me
Henry grew a little awkward.
Shirley came over next, standing between them.
I know there’s resentment on both sides, but if the family really starts to fall apart, you can bet outsiders will take full advantage of the chaos” she said seriously.
In the end, you’re still family. You need to stick together and look out for each other. A little power struggle is one thing, but rearing the whole foundation apart? That’s something the family fortune might not survive
he was earnest and respectful. But oddly enough, someone as loyal as her didn’t help up the bleeding Irene at once.
That seemed strange.
Alice’s lips carved into a smile
“Shirley”
“I just have one question When Mrs Irene said she’d host her funeral, did she mean like an official one with a service and
asket,ght here on the spot?”
yone was shocked
A silence fell over everyon
Even en forgot to scream
She stared at Abce, wide–eyed, in disbelief
Did she really say th
It was cold. Unbelievably cold.
Heartless
By the time trene came to her senses..
“Y–Youre cursing me to die” she shouted
trembing with rage
The truth was, she hadn’t been eating well at the hospital. Her body was weak and frail
Now after all this drama, she looked completely exhausted
But that rage gave her a focker of color in her cheeks
Alor laughed freely

“Well? Are you dying or not? If you’re not, then move. You might not mind it, but I find it a little annoying”
Irene was tongue–tied.
Before she could explode again, Alice pulled out her phone and pointed the camera straight at her.
“Livestream’s up. Go on, everyone’s waiting”
Shirley and Henry exchanged a glance. Neither knew what to say.
And nobody dared go up against Alice–not unless they wanted to ger shredded.
Still, it didn’t sit right to watch Irene so alone, so cornered.
In the end, Shirley was the braver of the two.
She said gently, “Ma’am, maybe let’s not make a public scene out of this?”
Alice smiled sweetly. “What do you mean? Everyone watching the livestream says this is better than reality TV. You’re the only one calling it a scene.”
She paused, then smiled wider.
And your opinion doesn’t count,”
Shirley couldn’t argue with her.
Henry gave a dry cough..
“Ma’am, at the end of the day, you’re family”
Before Alice could fire at him, he quickly turned to Eric.
“Mr. Eric, maybe you’d like to weigh in?”
Eric glanced at him, then pulled out his phone with a cold expression. “The stream has plenty of viewers. I don’t need to join
