That mistress had actually come to Mapleford–and had really made it to the conference

room.

She had come face–to–face with his legal wife.

The entire room instantly fell into dead silence.

Moments ago, they had been so arrogant when insulting Alice; now they were just as cowardly

Alex turned to look at Alice.

How’s that even possible?

Ruby had always been the project department’s top authority, and he had reported directly t her.

How could Alice possibly have traced the entire sequence of events so clearly?

And even prepared everything in advance?

If that were true, then it was downright terrifying.

“You dared to keep a second family behind my back–looks like you’ve really grown wings!

“Divorce! I’m divorcing you!”

“No, honey, listen to me, let me explain-”

“That slut and her kid are already at my doorstep, and you still want to explain? Explain h many years you slept with her, or how much money you spent on her?”

A loud argument immediately erupted outside.

Just from the voices, it was obvious–it was Bradley’s… two families.

The people in the project department were completely stunned.

When they looked back at Alice, they suddenly understood what she had meant earlier b missed the best window.”

Their expressions changed drastically.

Sounds of scuffling came from outside–probably the wife hitting Bradley, the mistress fighting back, and Bradley apologizing in between.

The noise was chaotic and grating.

“Janice, close the door.”

Alice’s expression remained icy as she pulled over a chair and sat down unhurriedly.

Janice closed the project department door, cutting off the noise outside.

Alice leaned lazily against the back of the chair, her cool gaze sv

The pressure radiating from her felt like a sudden hurricane, lea breathe.

Inside the office, no one dared to speak.

“I’ll ask one more time–who’s taking charge of the hill town project?”

No one responded.

Although Alex had guessed she had planned everything, he still felt unwilling to accept it.

“Mrs. Nolan, you know how difficult the hill town project is. If you don’t offer some kind of guarantee, who’d want to be the sucker?”

Alice let out a cold laugh and shot back, “So, that’s why you took project funds to gamble?”

Alex’s smile froze.

Alice tapped open a video on her phone and projected it directly onto the large screen besid them.

The footage showed Alex hosting a gambling session inside a hotel.

The practiced motions, the excited shouts–it clearly wasn’t his first time.

Alex’s face turned a sickly shade of purple.

“How do you have… have this?”

He had always been extremely careful, terrified of being caught.

Organizing gambling rings could land him in prison–he had taken every precaution.

“Because I was the one who reported it.”

Alice smiled faintly, using the gentlest tone to deliver the cruelest words.

Alex’s mouth went agape.

The next second, the door opened.

Police officers stood at the entrance.

After confirming the people inside the room, they walked straight over to Alex.

Alex was shocked beyond words.

In less than half an hour, the two leaders of the project department we

One for a moral scandal, the other for a legal offense.

The rest of the people were so frightened they didn’t even know what to say.

Some even wanted to run.

They felt that saying anything in front of Alice might expose their own hidden schemes.

Alice swept her gaze over them again.

“For the third time–who’s in charge of the hill town project?”

Everyone was terrified now.

They didn’t even know whether they should step forward.

In the end, a young man who had only been interning for three months raised his hand.

He had just finished graduate school and joined Nolan Group, barely having completed one full construction workflow under his mentor.

In plain terms, he was still green.

“Ms. Spencer, I’d like to give it a try.”

Alice looked toward him.

He looked about 24 or 25, wearing thin gold–rimmed glasses, roughly six feet tall, and weighing just over a hundred pounds.

Skinny as a beanpole.

His clothes hung loosely on him.

They also looked worn–some edges were already fraying.

“Alright. It’s you. Starting today, you’ll replace Alex. Get ready–this afternoon, you’re coming with me to the hill town.”

Truman Harvey froze.

Then, he pinched the back of his hand.

It hurt!

This isn’t a dream!

He’d gone from intern to project lead in one breath?

“Ms. Ms. Spencer, I–I mean, I just—”

…

Alice’s voice was cool and firm.

“I never keep people who lack confidence.”

Truman instantly straightened his back. “I will complete the task perfectly.”

Alice casually tossed him a USB drive.

“I was in a bad mood earlier and planned to settle a few people’s accounts all at once.

“But you showed up at just the right moment, and suddenly it didn’t feel that interesting anymore.

“What’s on that drive contains certain people’s secrets. I’ll leave it with you–if being a project manager ever makes you unhappy, feel free to use what’s inside.”

With that, she turned and left–clean, decisive, without looking back.
