All the Nolans were left speechless by her comment.Â
Before Alice could fire back, Oscar set down his utensils and said, “No.”Â
Yvette was caught off guard by his answer.Â

She had long since stopped paying attention to this man who’d been in a coma for eight years.Â
So when Oscar suddenly spoke up, she was completely startled.Â
“I have an announcement to make today.”Â
Oscar straightened up.Â
“Ruby and I are getting a divorce.”Â
The words hit like a thunderclap.Â
Everyone was stunned.Â
He’s almost 60 years old and wants a divorce?Â
Sure, the Nolans are wealthy and have their pick of women, but this is just reckless.Â
On top of that, getting a divorce now could seriously damage Nolan Group’s reputation!Â
Just then, Alice spoke up.Â
“That’s your choice. I support you.”Â
She was the first to voice her opinion.Â
Everyone else felt like she was out of line. After all, none of the elders had spoken yet.Â
Irene’s face darkened immediately.Â
“Alice, since when do you get a say in the elders‘ marriage?”Â
Alice was the only one still calmly eating at the table.Â
She finished her food at her own pace. Only then did she respond, unhurriedly.Â

“Mrs. Irene, you’re an elder, sure, but does that really mean anything? You can’t even bring yourself to agree or disagree, so you have to pick on me to feel seen? That’s just sad.”Â
Irene slapped the table in fury, nearly giving herself a heart attack.Â
“Alice, you’re getting more out of line by the day. Do you even respect your elders?”Â
Alice set her utensils down, still unhurried.Â
“Mrs. Irene, I thought after I called you out last time, you’d stop with the drama.Â
“Yet here you are, pretending nothing ever happened, still trying to disgust everyone just to boost yourself.Â
“If you haven’t had enough, I can recommend you to a theater troupe.Â
“Don’t waste your acting talent here.”Â
Irene clutched her chest, gasping for breath, and promptly fainted.Â
The family doctor rushed in and took her away.Â
The dining room instantly fell quiet.Â
Anyone who had wanted to mock Alice now shrank back in their chairs.Â
Only Yvette couldn’t help but speak up.Â
“Ms. Spencer, what’s the point of this? You’re only going to upset Ruby.”Â
Alice looked her way and fired back without missing a beat.Â
“Exactly. I love making others uncomfortable. If they weren’t upset, they’d just find ways toÂ
life miserable.”Â

Yvette was left speechless.Â
This woman really does say whatever’s on her mind. She has no filter.Â
Michael snorted.Â
“You’re still holding a grudge about us snatching your project last time.”Â
Alice laughed out loud.Â

“So did you manage to snatch it?”Â
Not only did they fail, but they nearly lost all of Ruby’s savings in the process,Â
Michael’s face turned even darker.Â

Ruby didn’t want the conversation to get any more off track. She shut it down quickly. “I don’t agree.”Â
Oscar answered calmly, “The only reason you disagree is because you don’t think you’re getting enough out of it.Â
“We’ve been married a long time. I wouldn’t leave you with nothing.Â
“Even after the divorce, you’ll still be the CEO of Nolan Group.”Â
Ruby sneered.Â
CEO?Â
With the departments splintered, what’s the point of me being the CEO now?Â
Eric was relentless in targeting her.Â
Even though the earn–out agreement might eliminate Alice, her main opponent was still the Nolans.Â
She hadn’t even figured out a counter, and now she was facing a divorce.Â
“Whether you agree or not, I’m announcing the divorce tomorrow.”Â
Oscar wouldn’t back down.Â
Ruby sneered. “You think I’ll just go along with it?”Â
Oscar nodded. “You will. Why don’t you check your phone?”Â
Ruby frowned.Â
She knew Oscar too well.Â
His eight years in a coma had made her complacent.Â
She didn’t agree to divorce because she wanted the overseas assets.Â

Still, she tapped open her phone as told.Â
The number one trending topic was about the Nolan Group.Â
It was the interior design for the Global Hotel. It was already leaked online!Â

The design team had taken advantage of the recent ancient tomb craze and transformed the first floor into a tomb, where guests could explore and even experience what it was like to live in an ancient eternal resting place.Â
Netizens were losing it.Â
They joked that this was literally the hotel “to die for.” They even said that a night in there may even cure insomnia, because they might be too scared by the design and get knocked out instantly.Â
People were determined to stay there.Â
Rooms sold out instantly as soon as the photos dropped.Â
Each Global Hotel room was designed around an adventure theme, inspired by a popular novel, movie, or video game.Â
It was like an escape room or live–action murder mystery.Â
There were even secret passages and trap mechanisms–pressing an ordinary button on the wall might make it slide away to reveal a hidden chamber.Â
There were cave themes, polar themes, a heaven theme, and a hell theme–almost every trending theme was covered.Â
The rooms were available in ancient tomb themes, polar themes, heaven themes, and hell themes–almost every trending idea was covered.Â
