Compared to someone who is constantly trying to seize all of her authority, the finance department was really not worth mentioning at all.

The tense, swords–drawn atmosphere did not last long.

Ruby smiled.

“You youngsters just like to act on impulse.”

Eric spoke calmly, “Fine. If I fail, I will leave. But if you fail, you won’t just hand over the finance department, you’ll also give up your office.”

The smile on Ruby’s face instantly vanished.

The office might not be valuable in itself, but it was a symbol of status.

If it was gone, it meant she had fallen from the center of power.

Irene looked at her grandson and suddenly felt a bit emotional.

Perhaps all these years, she really had underestimated Eric.

And perhaps she truly had taken the wrong path.

Thinking of this, she could not help but sigh softly and rub her brow.

After that, she hesitated over whether to completely relinquish power.

“Are you scared, Ms. Randall?”

Alice did not get a response and pressed forward step by step.

Today, there had to be a result.

Ruby’s expression was very unpleasant. She wanted to find a way out, but none of the shareholders dared to make a sound. There was no step to take!

At this moment, the silence was deafening.

In the end, Ruby could not step down and could only agree.

“Fine, then let’s sign the contract.

“But I hope this carn–out agreement can remain confidential.

“So the media won’t find out and spread it everywhere.

“Otherwise, outsiders might think Nolan Group has split apart.”

Alice raised her eyebrows.

“You’re worried that once the employees know, they’ll all defect, right?”

Ruby’s face darkened. “If you insist on thinking of me that way, there’s nothing I can do.”

Alice responded with an “Oh.”

That really was a classic scumbag line.

Ruby delivered it with ease.

The signing of the earn–out agreement took place in the afternoon.

After the signing, it was basically time to get off work.

But when the IT department found out that Alice had actually dealt with Ruby, they were all extremely happy.

Although they did not know how she had done it or what had happened, in their hearts, Alice had already been placed on a pedestal.

So they wanted to have a meal to celebrate.

Alice was very generous.

“You all go have fun. Put everything on my tab. But I have something to take care of tonight, so I can’t join you.”

Chloe suddenly smiled mysteriously. “Is it a date with Mr. Eric?”

Janice suddenly realized.

“There have been so many things in the company recently that needed both of you to handle. Now that you finally have some free time, going on a date is perfectly normal, right?”

Chloe even asked gossipingly.

“So, can you start discussing making a baby now?”

Alice rolled her eyes. “Can you think a bit better of me?”

Chloe was very puzzled.

“What do you mean? You don’t want to have a child with Mr. Eric?”

Alice asked back.

“Is a woman’s purpose in life to give birth to children?”

“What I mean is, when two people are deeply in love and emotions get out of control, then there’ll be a product of love.”

Chloe explained very seriously.

“If you don’t want one now, then in a few years, when you’re a bit older, you’ll be at advanced maternal age, and that won’t be good for the child.

“If the child isn’t well, your mood won’t be good, and it’ll really drain you.”

As someone who had been through it, Chloe now regretted every day why she had given birth to a child.

But precisely because she had been through it, she would still advise others to have children earlier.

That way, there would be time to raise the child while also balancing work.

In short, no matter when, women had to place themselves in an unbeatable position.

Of course, she did not say these words.

Because she knew that someone as outstanding as Alice would never be eliminated by society.

Alice did not agree with her view.

“As for having a child, I’ll have one when I feel it’s necessary.

“But a child is never the bond of a relationship between two people.

“If a man truly loves you and truly treats you well, even without a child, the relationship will remain just as loving.
