Chapter 250 A Battle

The Global Hotel scandal had already dragged down the company’s name and hit their stock hard.

The shareholders were furious.

This time, they didn’t even bother with subtlety.

The board meeting was set up right across from the tech department, in full view.

As soon as the news dropped, sweat trickled down Janice’s temples.

“Director, they’re coming for us. No doubt about it.”

Chloe was pacing nearby, her nerves stretched tight.

“I worked all night, pulling data from the past three years. If they spot even one error, we’re toast.”

Alice glanced at both of them, puzzled.

“You two didn’t sleep?”

Janice and Chloe exchanged a look. Their eyes were ringed with heavy shadows. For a second, they both cracked a tired smile.

Alice shook her head, half amused. “Didn’t think you’d be this loyal to the job.”

These days, most folks just tolerated work.

Chloe took a closer look at Alice and suddenly froze.

“Wait… You already have a plan, don’t you?”

Alice gave a calm smile.

“Not yet. I’m still waiting on updates.”

Chloe stared at her like she’d grown another head.

“You’re not even sure yet? And you’re still this calm?”

Janice groaned and grabbed his laptop.

“Director, the meeting’s starting. They’re asking for you.”

Alice picked up her folder, stood straight, and nodded.

“I’ll head over. You two focus on your

It’s really not as bad as it seems.”

Chloe and Janice glanced at each other again.

They didn’t buy it. Not one bit.

To them, this felt like a disaster.

Inside the boardroom, the tension was already thick.

Alice stepped in to hear the shouting.

Unlike the usual empty chatter, today’s fight had weight.

They were arguing over how to keep the hotel from sinking.

The girl’s suicide couldn’t be brushed aside anymore.

Public outrage had hit full blast.

“We need to auction the place. Get back whatever we can.”

“It’s a lost cause. Better off turning it into something else.”

“Maybe a school. Or an office complex.”

“Sure, but who’s going to pay for it?”

“Exactly. No company has the cash to gamble on a money pit.”

“So what now? Just let it sit there and rot?”

In the midst of the debate, Alice found a seat and sat quietly.

The debate went on, and no one even bothered to acknowledge her presence.

Eric was already in the room.

Technically, he still held control of the hotel.

And to her surprise, Irene had shown up too.

Ruby stood beside her, steadying her as they walked in.

They looked calm, even peaceful.

Alice watched them and figured things with Michael must be going well.

Otherwise, Ruby wouldn’t be wasting her time here.

“Now that everyone’s here, let’s get started,” someone said.
