The man couldn’t get up at all.
Seeing this, the others quickly turned and ran to tell Marvin.
Alice frowned, surprised at how fast the guy backed down.
So it’s not the overseas people after all ?

Before she could think more, Marvin showed up at the hospital entrance, his arm in a sling.
“Alice, you think you’re tough? You beat up my men–today, you’re not leaving this hospital alive!”
When Alice spotted Linda in the crowd, she pretty much figured out what happened.
She sneered, “Last night, I thought you just couldn’t use your limbs well.
“But now I see…
She paused for effect.
“Your head’s just as useless.
“Pathetic.”
Her words were sharp and cruel.
Marvin was already furious, and that insult pushed him over the edge.
“How dare you talk to me like that! I’m gonna kill you!
“I showed those guys some respect at the racetrack last night. But today? No way!
“I’ll kill you here, even if that’s the last thing I do!
“What are you all waiting for? Attack! Kill her and I’ll take the blame!”
Though Marvin was injured, the Griffins had sent plenty of guards to watch over him.
At his command, dozens of men immediately closed in on Alice.
There was no way out.
Right then, Linda ran over crying to Marvin’s side.

“Mr. Marvin, didn’t we agree you’ll forgive her as long as she apologizes? Why are you still angry?”
Marvin hated whining women and waved her off.
“Enough! I’ve been generous enough to let her come apologize. Now that she dares to talk back, killing her is mercy!”
He even threatened Linda.
“Keep crying like that and I’ll kill you too.”
Linda stopped crying instantly.
She just sighed softly, as if she was sad she couldn’t do more for Alice.
“Kill her!”
Marvin knew Alice had fighting skills–otherwise, she wouldn’t have broken his arm last night.
But facing so many men, two fists wouldn’t be enough. She would just get beaten down.
He had it all figured out.
When she was nearly broken, he’d personally torture her.
He wanted Alice to feel every kind of pain before she died.
That would satisfy him.
Bam! Bam! Bam!”
The sound of fists hitting flesh was music to Marvin’s ears.
No , wait .
He opened his eyes and saw a man lying beside him.
It was one of his own guards.
In his mind, Alice was covered in blood, begging for mercy. But instead, she stood there calm, face unreadable, fearless.
The remaining guards didn’t dare move–stunned and scared.
This woman is ruthless .

Their comrades fell before they could even get a good look at her moves.
“Mr. Marvin, we…”
The guards quickly regrouped by Marvin,

Mrs. Nolan was way too mild before .
Eric stared at her without blinking.
A breeze lifted a strand of her hair which landed on her forehead, adding a subtle charm.
Daniel finally said to Eric, “I feel that, even at your best, you can’t beat Mrs. Nolan.”
Eric paused before saying, “Shut up if you have nothing nice to say.”
Daníel realized his mistake and quickly covered his mouth.
Eric’s gaze stayed locked on Alice as he spoke.
Her fight reminded him of five years ago overseas.
He’d gone abroad for business, but the country was unstable. The Nolans lost a lot.
At a critical moment, a woman dressed all in black with a black mask helped the

Inside was a statue, dressed like that woman.
He prayed there and bought a rosary bracelet.
Almost without thinking, he touched the beads gently.
A faint woody scent filled his nose.
His mood instantly calmed, even lifted.
But when Daniel saw Eric/touch the rosary bracelet, alarms went off in his head.
Since Eric’s return five years ago, he’d treasured that bracelet.

Before any violent act, he’d always take it off first.
Is he about to remove it today ?
Daniel glanced again at the hospital entrance and the guards still standing there.
Is Mr. Eric planning to wipe them out right here ?
His heart skipped a beat.
No way .
Does he really care this much about Mrs. Nolan ?
But Stanley said before – there’s a Dark Goddess living inside Mr. Eric’s heart .
