Chapter 420 No Chance to Win 

Alice said nothing. 

No one could tell if she was willing. 

Kennard felt a little disappointed, but he didn’t dare say more. 

He simply grabbed Adrian and left. 

The other doctors saw the situation. There was no reason to stay. They quickly left in a hurry. 

Oswald couldn’t keep his pride anymore. He didn’t even bother with Maxwell and left with his team. 

Maxwell watched his plan fall apart. A cold look flashed in his eyes. 

“Mr. Eric, you should know—” 

Eric lifted his hand and cut him off.

At the same time, Alice tossed Maxwell a sheet of paper. “Mr. Ward,” she said calmly, “Breaking the law while knowing it’s illegal makes the punishment worse.” 

Maxwell didn’t take her seriously at first. 

Sure, she had Eric wrapped around her finger. But eventually, she was still a bumpkin from a backwater town. 

What could she possibly know about the law? 

But the moment he read the paper, his blood ran cold. 

It listed, one by one, the ways he had made money over the years by abusing legal loopholes. 

Normally, these cases only mattered if someone filed a complaint. 

And Maxwell was good at talking. Many victims didn’t even realize they had been cheated. 

How did Alice find out? 

Did Eric tell her? 

No matter how they found out, it was deadly for him. 

“Mrs. Nolan, I-” 

“You don’t need to explain,” Alice said flatly. “I hope Mr. Ward would follow the law. The rest is the job of the police and the district attorney. It has nothing to do with me.” 

Her words were blunt. 

They also made one thing very clear. This case had already been sent to internal investigators and the prosecutor’s office. 

Right now, Maxwell should worry about saving his own skin.

If he could settle things with the victims, there might still be a way out. 

But if not… 

Cold sweat soaked through his shirt. 

He left at once. 

Ruby was waiting outside. She planned to go in after Maxwell finished talking. 

Good cop, bad cop is a classic trick. That usually worked. 

Janice would have no choice but to give in. 

But Maxwell came out drenched in sweat. 

It was obvious. He had failed. 

“Mr. Ward, what happened?” Ruby asked, panic rising in her chest. 

Over the years, Maxwell had handled everything for her. Fast. Clean. No mistakes. 

But today, he stayed inside the hospital for a long time. And now he looked like someone had crushed him. 

It made no sense. 

Ruby also worried something had gone wrong. 

That was Sandy. 

She could not let anything happen to her daughter. 

“Mr. Eric and his wife were both there,” Maxwell said briefly. “I was kicked out.” 

Ruby’s face darkened. 

She knew Janice was close to Alice. 

And in the livestream earlier, it was Alice who had saved Janice when she was close to death. 

A life–saving favor. Plus everything from before. 

Right now, Janice would only listen to Alice. 

Ruby clenched her fists. 

She didn’t get into the car. She told Maxwell to leave first. 

Before he went, Maxwell spoke seriously. 

“Ms. Randall, I suggest you leave. Think this through again. If you see Janice now, you have no chance.” 

Ruby nodded.

She never planned to see Janice. Her real target was Alice.

An hour later, Alice walked out of the hospital room. 

She had also done a counseling session for Janice. Alice was mentally and physically exhausted. 

Daniel had been sent off to handle something else. Eric volunteered to buy her milk tea. 

They could have ordered delivery, but Eric seemed to enjoy doing things just for her. 

Alice let him go. 

She didn’t expect to see Ruby in the nearby waiting area. 

“I know you probably don’t want to see me,” Ruby said. “But I still want to ask. What do you want? The tech department? The fashion department? Or finance?” 

Alice looked at her and asked back, “If I ask for it, will you give it to me?” 

Ruby closed her eyes. She felt like cutting off her arm to survive. 

“If you make Janice let Sandy go,” she said slowly, “I’ll give it to you.” 

Alice suddenly laughed. 

The sarcasm on her face was impossible to miss. 

Ruby frowned. 

“What are you laughing at?” 

Alice pointed at her and spoke coldly. 

“Your daughter is priceless. She can’t suffer even a little. Even when she does something wrong, her mother steps in to protect her. Yes, Sandy is very lucky. What about Janice?” 

Ruby froze. She finally realized she had been played and humiliated. 

Still, she hadn’t climbed to her position by being stupid. No matter how mad she was, she didn’t show it. 

After forcing the anger down, her voice stayed gentle. 

“You can name your conditions.” 

She let out a cold laugh. 

“Start high, negotiate low. That’s how business works. That’s how deals work. Besides-”
