Chapter 125
Alice retorted defiantly, “The ones begging for forgiveness will be you.” She was confident their Al project would succeed.
Ethan’s face was grim. Fine, he wouldn’t hold back.
The elevator doors closed. Alice said to the manager, “Don’t worry. Investment is competitive. Wilson Corp’s business isn’t personal. If our product is good enough, they’ll invest.” Even without Wilson Corp, there were many companies in Peking
The manager said, “Right, let’s go to the private room. Don’t keep them waiting” They arrived at the room; soon, Wilson Corp’s investment team arrived a middle–aged man in a suit, looking like a seasoned business executive.
He said, “I have to leave soon. The Wilson heir is coming upstairs; I need to toast him.” The heir was influential, few had the opportunity to meet him.
The manager introduced Alice. Mr. Davis, this is our lead developer; she’s very talented.”
He looked at Alice. “You’re young.
The valedictorian, right? Starting university soon? Let me toast you!”
Alice held up her glass.“I don’t drink. My family is strict.”
“Next time then.” He put down his glass and left.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Alice explained, “I really don’t drink.”
“I know, but you can’t act like a kid in business.”
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.
“Ma’am, the floor is closed. No unauthorized access.”
“Let go! I’m meeting the Wilson heir.”
She was blocked. She saw a group of guards forming a line as the elevator doors opened. Impressive. A top family’s 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. “Mr. Wilson, I’m from Maple Leaf…”
The guards covered her mouth and pushed her to the stairs.“Stop causing trouble.” She sighed; meeting the heir, wouldn’t be easy.
She called Gator.“Maple Leaf’s investment might be gone.”
“Why? The heir wouldn’t pass up Maple Leaf; he practically put the project in Alice recounted her encounter with Ethan.“I saw the Wilson heir.”
“What?! You saw him?!”
your hands.”

“Yes, but he’s hard to approach. His bodyguards stopped me.”
“Gator, can you help me meet him?” His family was wealthy; he’d have connections. She didn’t want to lose to Ethan and Luke.
“Easy. I’ll contact him.”
“Okay.”
She stood up, ready to leave.
“Alice, you were hiding on the stairs! The Wilson heir’s guards stopped you, right?” Chloe had.
heard her voice.
Alice rolled her eyes.“None of your business!”
“Alice, why compete with me? You left home because you have more fans and better grades. That’s nothing in Peking! Without the Winds, you’re nothing.”
Alice laughed coldly.“Oh, should I tell Brother I want to return?”
Chloe’s face froze; she didn’t want Alice back.
Chloe said awkwardly, “Brother disowned you. You can’t return.”
“I’m the biological daughter. You’re adopted. You cheated and failed the exam; you’re a terrible gamer. What do you have to compete with me? Peking wouldn’t like trash like you!” Chloe, furious, lunged at Alice. “You bitch!”
Alice easily dodged her. Chloe lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs with a scream!
Alice looked down at her.“Goodbye. Or rather, see you never!”
“Alice, you hurt her!” Ethan appeared, enraged.
Alice said coldly, “I didn’t.”
Ethan told his secretary, “Call the police!”
“Don’t you dare!”
Jack approached.
A familiar voice. Jack approached.
Alice
exclaimed, “When did you arrive?”
He was stern, then softened as he reached her.“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” She walked to him.“Let’s go.”
“Stop!” Ethan glared. If you leave, you’ll be a fugitive!” He would teach Alice a lesson!
