Chapter 125 Alice retorted defiantly, âThe ones begging for forgiveness will be you.â She was confident their Al project would succeed.
Ethanâs face was grim. Fine, he wouldnât hold back.
The elevator doors closed. Alice said to the manager, âDonât worry. Investment is competitive. Wilson Corpâs business isnât personal. If our product is good enough, theyâll invest.â Even without Wilson Corp, there were many companies in Peking The manager said, âRight, letâs go to the private room. Donât keep them waitingâ They arrived at the room; soon, Wilson Corpâs investment team arrived a middleâaged man in a suit, looking like a seasoned business executive.
He said, âI have to leave soon. The Wilson heir is coming upstairs; I need to toast him.â The heir was influential, few had the opportunity to meet him.
The manager introduced Alice. Mr. Davis, this is our lead developer; sheâs very talented.â
He looked at Alice. âYouâre young.
The valedictorian, right? Starting university soon? Let me toast you!â
Alice held up her glass.âI donât drink. My family is strict.â
âNext time then.â He put down his glass and left.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Alice explained, âI really donât drink.â
âI know, but you canât act like a kid in business.â
Alice felt uncomfortable and excused herself to the restroom.
She looked upstairs, hearing that the Wilson heir was there. If she could talk to him, she might secure the investment.
She saw security guards at the elevator; she quietly took the stairs. But guards stopped her.
âMaâam, the floor is closed. No unauthorized access.â
âLet go! Iâm meeting the Wilson heir.â
She was blocked. She saw a group of guards forming a line as the elevator doors opened. Impressive. A top familyâs heir!
Tiptoeing, she tried to see the heir but was blocked by the guards. She saw a tall man in a dark suit, his sleeves rolled up, his fingers long and elegant. His features were obscured in the light..
Alice jumped up and waved. âMr. Wilson, Iâm from Maple Leaf...â
The guards covered her mouth and pushed her to the stairs.âStop causing trouble.â She sighed; meeting the heir, wouldnât be easy.
She called Gator.âMaple Leafâs investment might be gone.â
âWhy? The heir wouldnât pass up Maple Leaf; he practically put the project in Alice recounted her encounter with Ethan.âI saw the Wilson heir.â
âWhat?! You saw him?!â
your hands.â
Chapter 125 âYes, but heâs hard to approach. His bodyguards stopped me.â
âGator, can you help me meet him?â His family was wealthy; heâd have connections. She didnât want to lose to Ethan and Luke.
âEasy. Iâll contact him.â
âOkay.â
She stood up, ready to leave.
âAlice, you were hiding on the stairs! The Wilson heirâs guards stopped you, right?â Chloe had.
heard her voice.
Alice rolled her eyes.âNone of your business!â
âAlice, why compete with me? You left home because you have more fans and better grades. Thatâs nothing in Peking! Without the Winds, youâre nothing.â
Alice laughed coldly.âOh, should I tell Brother I want to return?â
Chloeâs face froze; she didnât want Alice back.
Chloe said awkwardly, âBrother disowned you. You canât return.â
âIâm the biological daughter. Youâre adopted. You cheated and failed the exam; youâre a terrible gamer. What do you have to compete with me? Peking wouldnât like trash like you!â Chloe, furious, lunged at Alice. âYou bitch!â
Alice easily dodged her. Chloe lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs with a scream!
Alice looked down at her.âGoodbye. Or rather, see you never!â
âAlice, you hurt her!â Ethan appeared, enraged.
Alice said coldly, âI didnât.â
Ethan told his secretary, âCall the police!â
âDonât you dare!â
Jack approached.
A familiar voice. Jack approached.
Alice exclaimed, âWhen did you arrive?â
He was stern, then softened as he reached her.âAre you alright?â
âIâm fine.â She walked to him.âLetâs go.â
âStop!â Ethan glared. If you leave, youâll be a fugitive!â He would teach Alice a lesson!
