Truman caught the USB drive, feeling like it was even more dazzling and weighty than three pounds of gold.Â
The others in the project department stared at the USB drive in his hand, each wearing a different expression.Â
Truman held it like a priceless treasure, his face practically glowing with joy.Â
Not long after Alice left the project department, she heard an argument coming from the corridor nearby.Â
As soon as she walked over, she saw Bradley coming out.Â
His face was bruised, and his gray shirt had been torn to shreds.Â
He looked utterly disheveled.Â
The moment he saw Alice, the earlier insolence was gone from his face.Â
All that remained was thick wariness and caution.Â
Alice only shot him a mocking look, then turned and walked away.Â
But Janice deliberately stopped.Â
“Mr. Jordan, I heard the money you spent on your mistress all went through the company’s public accounts. I wonder which lawsuit comes first–your wife’s, or the company’s?”Â
Bradley nearly choked on his own rage.Â
“Ms. Thornton.”Â
Bradley was furious, but he forced himself to suppressÂ
- it.Â
“If I hadn’t offended Mrs. Nolan just now … would I have-”Â
Janice scoffed coldly. “I thought you already knew something that basic, Mr. Jordan. That’s why you were deliberately looking for trouble.”Â
Bradley had no words for her.Â

If he’d known Alice had this kind of leverage, would he have dared?Â
He was already losing his mind.Â

His legal wife was his college classmate–there were feelings, and they had a daughter together.Â
The mistress was supposed to be just for fun, but she had given him a son.Â
He couldn’t bear to let either side go.Â
But he couldn’t keep both, either.Â
What a complete mess.Â
He couldn’t help thinking–if he had been respectful to Alice from the start and thrown his lot in with her, would he have avoided all this trouble?Â
He watched Janice walk away.Â
In frustration, he slapped himself a few times.Â
But soon, he called Ruby.Â
Unfortunately, after hearing what had happened to him, Ruby hung upÂ
She didn’t want to deal with it at all.Â
immediately.Â
Only now did he realize–Ruby had abandoned him, and he had also offended Alice.Â
From here on out, he wouldn’t be able to survive.Â
He clenched his fists.Â
No. Even a cornered dog will bite–why shouldn’t he gamble on one last move?Â
Janice had to jog to keep up with Alice’s pace.Â
Only after they entered the IT department did she finally breathe easier.Â
Then, she followed Alice into her office.Â
“Ms. Spencer, that was terrifying just now.”Â
In that moment, she had genuinely worried the whole project department might start throwing punches.Â

Even if they called the police, a scandal that big would definitely trigger questions from the board.Â
Alice started organizing documents, acting as if the project department incident didn’t matterÂ
at all.Â
Janice was truly curious.Â
“Ms. Spencer, did you really investigate everything in advance–and then deliberately stall him when he tried to cause trouble?”Â
Alice’s hands paused slightly.Â
A faint smile lifted the corner of her lips.Â
“No.”Â
Janice was flabbergasted.Â
So… is everything just a coincidence?Â
Then, Ms. Spencer is terrifyingly capable.Â
She’s practically a goddess!Â
Alice explained calmly.Â
“Mr. Eric prepared it, just in case.”Â
Janice was once again blown away.Â
Ugh–public affection, right in her face.Â
She was stuffed.Â
Still, she couldn’t help being curious.Â
“Ms. Spencer, if no one had stepped up, would you have kept exposing their dirt?”Â
Alice shook her head. “No.”Â
Janice’s face went blank–her brain felt like it was overheating.Â
“I’d take all of them to the hill town.”Â

Janice didn’t know what to say.Â
Alice was seriously decisive.Â
She’d be shocked for a hundred years.Â

“But now someone’s willing to go. As for the rest–should they go back to their original positions?”Â
Alice smiled. “How could that be possible?”Â
Janice blinked. “Then… were they all fired?”Â
Honestly, even if they hadn’t said much, every sentence had been humiliating.Â
Sending them to the police station for a few days would’ve been getting off easy.Â
Hearing the question, Alice’s smile only deepened.Â
“No. They’ll be kept in the office as clerks.”Â
Janice’s eyes widened.Â
Those project department guys all loved running around construction sites.Â
They only came to the office on Mondays for meetings.Â
They were used to that loose, freewheeling lifestyle.Â
If they were forced to sit in the office doing clerical work, they’d probably go insane.Â
And most of them were under rigid contracts–they couldn’t just quit.Â
So, they’d have no choice but to stay and do clerical work.Â
Just imagining them complaining and groaning all day made Janice feel ridiculously satisfied.Â
Alice finished sorting the materials and told her to scan them.Â
“While I’m away on this business trip, if anything comes up, call me directly.”Â
Janice immediately took the documents. “Guaranteed completion of the mission!”Â

After work that afternoon.Â
Eric was waiting right outside the IT department entrance.Â

As everyone walked out, they saw him leaning against the railing, looking gentle and relaxed.Â
He wore a black suit, one hand resting on the railing, and beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips curved slightly.Â
He was so handsome it was almost offensive.Â
When Alice stepped out, that was the first thing she saw–an absolute heart–stoppÂ
