Chapter 325

Alice was stunned by his statement and lowered her head. Jack noticed her change. "What's wrong?"

"You're right. Who would dare offend someone with your status?" Alice smiled.

Seeing her smile, Jack felt a chill. He was always at fault in this situation. He pinched her check. "Stop smiling."

Before Alice could dodge, the door opened, revealing Andrew Yates. He took a step back. I'll come back later."

Jack's lips thinned."Don't you know how to knock?"

I'm going back to my office. Why would I knock?” Andrew Yates was confused. Alice turned and ran; it was too awkward.

Jack's expression was grim."I locked the door."

"The lock broke a 'couple of days ago."

"...Remember to fix it."

Jack picked up Alice's documents. She was talented.

Andrew Yates leaned in.“I heard you publicly denied your engagement to Julia at Pear Orchard last night and defended Little Lemon." Gossip spread fast. Everyone knew Jack was protecting at streamer who'd used his signature move, the twelve-hit combo. People speculated they were. together.

Jack's expression was calm. “What else could I do? Last night was a good opportunity to explain.” He hadn't expected Julia to be there and her attitude had annoyed him, so he'd clarified things. “That's true. You told Julia to clarify it herself, but she didn't listen. You had to do it yourself; you can't blame anyone." Andrew Yates thought Julia was too stubborn. It was just a rumor. Andrew Yates said, "Julia's mother will replace out soon. She's your mother's friend; she'll probably cause trouble for Alice.” Julia's mother wasn't easy to deal with.

Jack's eyes were icy."She won't dare, unless she wants the Garcia family to go bankrupt.” “The Garcia family has been declining. Your mother gave them a long-term order to keep them. afloat. If you stop it, they might go bankrupt.” Andrew Yates knew the Garcia family's situation. This was why they were trying to marry their daughter into the Wilson family." Jack finished the documents and gave them to Andrew Yates."I'm going to the exchange." "Right. Now Little Lemon knows your identity, so you don't need to hide. But her brother, Ethan, thinks you're a gold digger, right? He'll be shocked when he replaces out the truth.” Andrew Yates was looking forward to it.

Jack's tone turned cold when he mentioned the Windham family."He thinks the Parker family will protect him?"

“Let's give Little Lemon's brother a taste of what's coming. Time for payback. The two men exchanged a look, understanding each other..

After the meeting, Alice prepared for the exchange. Jack's car pulled up.“Get in.”

Alice hesitated."I said I'd go with the team leader."

Andrew Yates got into the team leader's car. I need to talk to him. Little Lemon, get in that car." He looked at Jack. "That's all I can do for you, buddy."

Alice got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat. Jack sat in the back, looking at her."Afraid I'l eat you?" "You're the boss, and I'm an employee. The passenger seat is appropriate." Alice felt the atmosphere change. The driver was nervous; the boss was being so considerate.

Jack said, "I looked at your report. The technical issue needs testing and modification; it will take time."

"I know. I'll work on it and finish within a month. Alice already had a plan.

They arrived at the exchange. Jack took a call, his voice tense.“Grandma? I'll be right there.”

Alice, about to get out, looked back. She remembered Jack saying Julia had answered the phone because his grandmother was in the hospital.

Jack looked anxious. "I need to go to the hospital. The exchange is arranged; just go and speak.”

"Go ahead. I'll handle things here." Alice saw how much he cared about the old woman.

She watched his car leave and saw Chloe and Finn, looking smug.

Chloe said, “Alice, good news! Big Brother invested in Second Brother's Al project. It's doing well. But not for you."

"Not worried.” Alice was calm.“You stole our data. Competitors like you are nothing."

Finn said, “Big Brother has Parker family investment and partnered with PZ, a famous overseas company. Your small company can't compete. Leave before Maple Leaf goes bankrupt." Alice was surprised."PZ?" She'd heard of that notorious scam company in her past life. They'd scammed many companies in Washington, with losses in the billions. They'd approached the ‘Windham family, but Big Brother refused; they didn't need foreign investment. Ethan partnered

with them? Was he suicidal?

Finn said smugly, "Chloe introduced them."

Chloe looked expectant. After this project, she'd drain Windham Corporation's funds and never have to please Finn again. She wanted to make Alice suffer.

Alice laughed.“Chloe, you introduced a scam company to Big Brother? What will happen when he replaces out?” Chloe's face changed. Alice knew? Impossible.
