After listening to what Thomas Fisher said, Alice Turner suddenly burst out laughing on the phone, "Haha... Young Master Dalton! You really are adorable. Can’t tell the truth from lies? You’re so easy to fool, I seriously doubt your intelligence."

She laughed until tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, and her expression was extremely sorrowful. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see her true situation over the phone.

"You naughty girl! You tricked me again."

Thomas couldn’t see Alice’s true state at the moment. Hearing her laugh, he believed that, just as she said, she had been teasing him, and his tense nerves relaxed all at once.

"Alice! In front of you, my intelligence drops to zero automatically, so you have to be responsible for me." Knowing she was just joking with him, he felt entirely relieved, not angry at being questioned about his intelligence, not even a bit dissatisfied.

"I’m at home now, won’t listen to your chatter, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. Goodbye." After saying this, Alice decisively hung up the phone before Thomas could react on the other end.

The moment she hung up the phone, she could no longer control her tears, which gushed from her eyes like a breached dam.

Since he couldn’t see Alice on the other end of the phone, Thomas had no idea of her actual situation at that moment, and from her recent words, he didn’t sense anything amiss.

She suddenly hung up, and he genuinely thought it was because she was at home, and speaking in front of family wasn’t as casual and free.

Unaware of the truth, Thomas didn’t call Alice back. Knowing she was at home, he turned his car around and left the company where she was, heading straight for the hospital where Benjamin Shaw was staying.

Thomas would never have dreamed that Alice made a significant decision today, catching him completely off guard.

No! It wasn’t just him; no one who knew her expected it.

Concealing it from everyone, Alice handed in her resignation to her company boss. Seeing the resignation in front of them, her boss was utterly shocked, but she remained calm, decisively leaving the company under the stunned and puzzled gazes of her boss and colleagues.

After leaving the company, Alice drove to the Military District Compound to visit her most beloved sister, Lily Turner.

"Sister! You’re really a rare guest, come in and sit." Seeing Alice suddenly appear at home, Lily was both surprised and delighted, stepping forward to pull her sister towards the living room.

Seeing her sister so happy, Alice couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth, "I got off work early today and had nothing to do, so I came to see you."

What’s really going on, only she knows best in her heart.

"You’re always welcome, but why did you bring so many things? We have everything at home." Lily glanced at the things Auntie Li had set aside and turned back to pull her sister to sit down on the sofa.

"Hello, Grandpa!"

After sitting down, Alice immediately greeted Callix Linton, who was seated nearby.

"Hello, little girl!" Callix responded with a kind smile and then turned his gaze to Lily, "Lily, take good care of your sister. I’m going out for a walk."

With that, he got up and walked around the coffee table in front of him, striding out of the living room.

Lily and Alice both realized that Callix was intentionally giving them space as sisters. After the old man had walked away, they slowly withdrew their gaze.
