Chapter 293 Make Them Regret It 

Truman scratched the back of his head. “I mean, why not try to push Linda out of the Spencers?” 

Emma was speechless. 

Alice couldn’t make that call. 

All five of her brothers basically couldn’t see her value. 

Instead, they treated that idiot Linda like gold. 

Clayton watched them talking, feeling a twinge of jealousy, and pulled Emma close. 

“Truman, weren’t you supposed to be livestreaming? Why haven’t you started yet?” 

Only then did Truman remember his task and quickly turned on the equipment. 

The voting process went quickly.

With notarization staff and police officers present, everything was quiet, orderly, and smooth. 

Once the last ballot went in, the notary started counting in front of everyone. 

Then the results came. 

“By the townspeople’s vote, the project goes to the Martinezes!” 

Thunderous applause erupted immediately. 

Yvette instinctively pressed a hand to her chest. 

She’d been ready for it, but hearing it was still thrilling. 

She turned to Alice, grinning. “Surprised?” 

Alice shook her head. “You worked well, and you earned everyone’s approval. That’s only natural. 

“But make sure you have the money ready. Everyone is waiting for your deposit. 

“Oh, and technically, I’m one of the recipients. I want my share too. I’ll be waiting.”

Yvette had tried to mock her. 

Instead, Alice stayed completely chill. 

In the end, Yvette was the one feeling embarrassed. 

What rotten luck! 

“Alice, still so cocky, huh? That really surprises me. Enjoy these next few days. 

“Once you get back to Nolan Group, the shareholders won’t go easy on you.” 

This project wasn’t about money. Investors wanted prestige. 

Losing it basically handed Yvette the weapon she wanted. 

Perfect. 

I’d slash it straight at Nolan Group! 

Make Eric regret it! 

Make Alice regret it! 

With that in mind, Yvette straightened up and walked over to the officials and notary. 

Using her status, she completed the handover smoothly. 

She loved the way she looked–confident and shining. 

Then she glanced back at Alice. 

A country girl would always be a country girl. 

Alice was always meant to struggle in the dirt. 

Even if she blossomed sometimes, it wouldn’t last. 

Meanwhile, the livestream brought in so many gifts that Alice’s hands went numb counting them. 

She made a solid amount and felt great. 

“Truman.”

“Huh?” 

“Consider this your bonus. You’ve worked hard on the site surveys.” 

He was stunned. 

It felt like a pie had fallen straight from the sky and knocked him dizzy. 

It felt ridiculously awesome. 

“Ms. Spencer, isn’t that a bit unfair? It wasn’t just me. Ms. Quintana and Mr. Reese-” 

“I’ll give them separate rewards,” Alice cut in, smiling.

“By the way, I still own a house and some land here. Compensation should be around 500,000. 

“Give that to Emma as her bonus.” 

Emma’s eyes widened. 

So this is what it’s like to follow the right boss and suddenly get rich? 

That’s amazing! 

Clayton didn’t lack money, so cash rewards weren’t necessary. 

Alice waved casually. 

“If you do well and bring home a girlfriend soon, I’ll officiate your wedding.” 

Clayton instantly lit up. 

He’d been worried Alice might disapprove. 

The Reeses were rich–way above Emma’s background, practically a different social class. 

But he didn’t care about that. 

Emma was like a bright light in his life. 

At first, he thought he was good enough for her. 

Then he realized Emma was Alice’s student. 

And Alice, an international expert, rarely took students because she was lazy.

Yet Emma had impressed her enough to be accepted. 

That was when Clayton started doubting whether he was good enough. 

He hadn’t expected Alice to notice and even agree to officiate. 

Emma was still a little confused. 

“Wait, Clayton, you don’t have a girlfriend?” 

In her mind, a rich guy like him should have countless girlfriends. 

But yeah, they’d been buried in experiments together. That was exhausting. 

It made sense that he hadn’t had time to date. 

Clayton felt awkward. 

He’d always lived simply and kept his distance. 

What he loved most was academic research. 

Women weren’t that interesting to him. 

Without Emma, he probably would’ve stayed single forever.

“I don’t have one right now, but that could change.” As he spoke, he gave her a meaningful look.
