After the incident where the illegitimate child showed up at the wedding, Bruce no longer had complete trust in Thomas. So, Bruce didn’t allow Thomas to handle most of the matters related to Woland Group. However, Bruce barely managed to get anything done on his own after working his fingers to the bone for two days.

After taking over Woland Group, he didn’t manage to find a single issue that Alice had planted within the company. He didn’t even realize the obvious issues that were present in the company’s finances.

Meanwhile, Elijah was also hesitant to mess with Alice after what happened with the video. Alice found herself with too much free time on hand. Woland Group no longer belonged to her, and she was just an unemployed person, so she figured that she would do what unemployed people did. She headed out on a shopping spree, and she had strolled around until nearly 6.00PM when someone stopped her in her tracks.

“Our boss would like to meet you, Miss Woland.” Even though Caleb was there to give her orders, he was still polite in his approach.

Alice had met Liam in the past, but she had never met Caleb. It had been seven years since that night, and Alice never even considered how that night might have been related to anything. Alice merely stared at Caleb when he popped out of nowhere to block her way.

This guy is clearly a capable man. I’m sure he doesn’t work for Elijah—Elijah wouldn’t have failed to kill me for the past seven years if he could find someone as impressive as this, Alice thought. Could he be from the Yeager Family? Thomas can barely deal with his own issues, and Bruce is probably celebrating his victory now. Furthermore, the Yeagers have always preferred to sneak up on others, so it doesn’t seem like their style to invite me to meet them in such a direct manner.

“If you’re worried, you may contact one of your friends or even the police, Miss Woland.” Caleb offered her some options in order to lower her guard.

Ethan was waiting for Alice at home, and Caleb knew he had to bring her back. Alice no longer felt worried upon hearing Caleb’s words, and she figured that she had no reason to deny the other person’s invitation after hearing their suggestions. “Let’s go,” she uttered.
