Right at this moment, Alice’s voice could be heard from the live stream. “The Woland Group is my dowry. I’ll bring it with me when I marry Bruce at 25 years old.”

“Seems like you’re very deeply and madly in love with Mr. Yeager, Miss Woland.”

Alice replied, “Yes, I am.” She lowered her eyes a little to conceal her emotions. At this moment, she’d say even the most disgusting words in order to survive, save the Woland Group, rescue her brother, and avenge her parents!

Hearing this from the live stream, Caleb subconsciously turned to look at Ethan. At once, he noticed that the latter’s eyes seemed a bit darker and frostier than usual.

A clamor instantly erupted in the ward, with those from the Woland Family wishing they could eat Alice alive at this very moment. One of them barked, “What an ingrate! Your parents have just passed away, but all you think about is to get married and hand on a silver platter the business that your father has worked so hard to set up!”

“You good-for-nothing idiot!”

“She’s right! Who are you to give the company to someone else? It’s my son’s company!”

Alice merely sat weeping on her sickbed. She wept bitterly, not because of these people’s insults but for the sake of her parents. At this moment, this made her appear weak and cowardly in the eyes of outsiders, as if she wasn’t good at anything except crying.

Soon after that, the Yeagers hurried to the ward and chased the Wolands away. Bruce comforted Alice in a gentle voice, while Thomas acted like a benign elder.

At twelve midnight, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Ethan appeared in the room.
