Chapter 245 Cleared Out

Chapter 245 Cleared Out

Within minutes, the courtyard emptied of cameras and microphones.

Silence returned.

Irene stared at Alice like she wanted to burn her alive. “Are you satisfied now?”

She couldn’t understand it. Yvette had always been proud, yet today she had humbled herself for a man She had gone so far as to ask Alice to step aside.

And now, all of it was ruined–because of Alice.

If she could get away with it, Irene would’ve strangled her.

Alice smiled faintly. “Very satisfied. Why? Feeling bitter?”

Irene’s face tightened. “You’re nothing but a peasant. What makes you think you belong in the Nolans? You should leave before you embarrass yourself any further.”

Alice shrugged without concern.

“I don’t want to be here either. The air stinks.

“But I didn’t just show up to enjoy the drama. I came to settle something with you, Irene. So no, I’m not leaving yet.”

Irene’s voice cracked with anger.

“What do you want now?”

Alice’s tone didn’t change. “I’m talking about the mess online. All those rumors about me and Risa. You know exactly how they started. Probably better than anyone.”

Irene’s eyelids twitched. The guilt on her face was too fast to hide.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, really?” Alice smiled a little.

“That’s fine. I like tracking IP addresses. Once I find the source, I’ll be happy to show the internet what really happened.”

She spoke without raising her voice: She didn’t need to. “And I’m sure you’re okay with that, right, Irene?”

Irene’s whole body tensed.

This wasn’t a warning.

It was a promise.

She clenched her fists and drew in a shaky breath.”

Then Alice added, just as calmly, “But if you apologize live, I won’t make a fuss.”

Irene’s skin turned pale.

There was no way out of it anymore.

Alice could see right away that Irene wasn’t planning to apologize.

So she turned, walked over to the table, and picked up a laptop.

She held it in her arms, then smiled.

“I haven’t had a reason to use my skills in a while,” she said casually. “Let’s see if I’m still sharp.

Irene froze. Her eyes darted toward Eric, silently asking for help.

But Eric didn’t even glance at her.

He looked at Alice and said, “Then get started.”

Alice’s smile grew. “You sound like you’ve got a personal grudge. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’ve been waiting for this.”

Eric spoke without emotion.

“Maybe I have.”

Irene’s chest tightened.

Her shoulders trembled. She could barely stay in her seat.

No one had seen this coming.

“Alice!” Irene snapped, her voice shaking.

“Fine. I’ll apologize.”

Alice paused and looked at her..

“But only if you let Matt and Josh’s guys go,” Irene added quickly.

Alice stayed calm.

Her voice was light.

“Irene, that’s where you got it wrong, I didn’t come here because forgiveness is the only option.

“It’s just the easiest one.”

Irene’s face darkened.

After a few seconds of silent struggle, she sighed in defeat.

“Fine. I’ll do it.”

She pulled

out her phone and opened her social media account. She started a livestream.

Though she couldn’t get Matt and Josh out, what choice did she have? She was backed to a corner

Her only move was to deal with the matter first.

She didn’t expect much traffic.

Her followers weren’t many.

But as soon as the feed went live, people started pouring in.

Within seconds, 10,000 viewers had joined.

“Hi, everyone. I’m Irene Nolan.”

Before she could even finish the sentence, the number shot past 100,000.

She clenched her jaw. She knew Alice was behind the sudden spike.

The traffic was too fast to be natural. But there was nothing she could do about it now.
