Ruby showed no sign of asking for favors.Â
If anything, she sounded condescendingÂ
*You and Eric are on good terms. Eric can help you find a lawyer,” she said calmly. “Mr. Ward is undefeated in cases like this.”Â
She paused, then added, “A settlement is the best option. Janice would get more compensation that way.”Â
The pros and cons were laid out clearly.Â
Her goal was obvious.Â
Alice looked at her quietly.Â
Her face was calm. Too calm.Â
For some reason, it made Ruby uneasy.Â
Ruby was about to say more when Alice finally spoke.Â
“Ms. Randall, I am Janice’s legal counsel. I will take this case all the way.”Â
Ruby froze. She thought she had heard wrong.Â
Alice said she’s Janice’s lawyer?Â
“Y–you’re a lawyer?” Ruby blurted out.Â
To Ruby, it sounded ridiculous.Â
One person mastering computer science and becoming a top–level hacker was already rare.Â
That same person also had outstanding medical skills and could perform complex surgeries with ease.Â
On top of that, she could race cars professionally.Â
Any one of those talents would be impressive enough to earn a special place in a family record.Â
But that still wasn’t all.Â
She was also a lawyer?Â
Doubt flickered in Ruby’s eyes.Â
She didn’t believe it, but she remembered all the miracles Alice had pulled off before.Â
Ruby couldn’t completely dismiss it either.Â
“Ms. Randal,” Alice said evenly, “if there’s nothing else, please leave. Everyone’s time is valuable. Don’t you agree?”Â
Ruby was being dismissed. Anger flashed across her face, but she kept it under control.Â

She didn’t argue.Â
“I’ll wait for your call,” Ruby said coldly. “If Janice decides to settle, even as her lawyer, you should act in your chent’s best intereÂ
She turned and left without waiting for a reply.Â
Outside the hospital, Maxwell was waitingÂ
The job wasn’t done. He couldn’t leave his client behind.Â
When he saw Ruby’s dark expression, Maxwell shrank back instinctively.Â
Ruby got into the car and sat in the back seat. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.Â
Maxwell stayed silent and started driving.Â

After Janice recovered, she apologized to Alice again and again.Â
Online, the controversy around Maria was exploding.Â
Alice was already under intense public scrutiny.Â
If Alice went to court for Janice and openly fought the Nolan Group, it could…Â
“You shouldn’t worry about this,” Alice interrupted. “Just tell me–do you want to pursue this to the end?”Â
Janice nodded. Tears streamed down her face.Â
She understood everything.Â
If she didn’t push this all the way now and make them feel real pain, they would hunt her down again.Â
This time, Alice arrived in time.Â
What about next time?Â
Even though Ruby paid her hundreds of millions of dollars, what use would that money be if she were dead?Â
“Ms. Spencer,” Janice said through tears, “I want to hire you as my lawyer.”Â
She had never seen Alice fight a case in court. But when Alice asked if Janice was willing to trust her, Janice agreed.Â
After Janice signed the authorization papers, Alice gently patted her hand. “Focus on recovering. Leave everything else to me.”Â
After Alice left, Oswald came to visit.Â
He spoke earnestly, as if he truly cared.Â
“I know you think Mrs. Nolan is helping you,” he said. “But have you considered this? She’s only helping because she wants to compete with Ms. Randal. You’re just a pawn. A fuse. Once they’re done using you, your ending will be miserable.”Â
Janice frowned. Her face darkened.Â
Oswald felt encouraged and pressed on.Â
“Honestly, this task isn’t as hard as you think,” he said. “Ms. Randall offered you twenty million dollars. Take that money, move to a small city, and you’ll live like a queen. You can have any life you want. And didn’t you still have a labor dispute with the Nolan Group? Ms. Randall already handled it for you. The person who gave you trouble was fired.”Â
