The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307 Alice Sets Her Terms

How could this be fate? The real problem was the boss behind Sun.

If they hadn’t created that kind of gambling software, Magnus never would’ve sunk deeper and deeper into it.

He wouldn’t have gambled away his entire fortune.

And he definitely wouldn’t have ended up trafficking people.

In the end, he lost the warm, loving home he once cherished.

“I want to turn them in.”

He suddenly spoke up.

That was exactly what Alice wanted to hear.

She didn’t like forcing confessions.

Chloe had miscarried.

She sat in the ambulance for a long time, barely able to process it.

Honestly, she hadn’t even realized she was pregnant.

There had been too much going on lately, too many things to worry about. Her period being irregular had seemed normal under the circumstances.

She’d really been careless.

She knew Magnus wasn’t going to end well.

The only comfort was that she was still alive and that more than a hundred girls had been rescued.

They were alive too.

Still, one thing bothered her. Why had Magnus targeted Alice when he didn’t even know her?

It wasn’t until Alice spoke with Magnus privately that everything finally made sense.

Sun had somehow stolen Eugenia’s luck.

Chapter 307 Alice Sets Her Terms

That was why Sun had been sailing smoothly all these years.

Even though Eugenia lost her fortune and was pushed aside by her family, she still managed to survive quietly on her own.

That alone showed just how extraordinary she would’ve been if her luck hadn’t been taken.

Over the years, Sun used that almost unnatural streak of luck to amass massive wealth.

By now, she was a regular presence around powerful figures overseas.

What she hadn’t expected was for Alice to become her enemy.

It started when Alice first joined Nolan Group and developed that firewall.

Even though the technology was patented, Nolan Group still sold it commercially.

Many companies adopted it, and it was even used on mobile devices.

That made Sun’s research completely unusable.

Her systems simply couldn’t break through that firewall.

Later on, at an international tech conference, Alice publicly humiliated several countries.

She also exposed someone who had been illegally using software that was already banned worldwide, causing another global uproar.

To reassure the public, a new wave of technological reform swept across the international community.

Sun’s business, which had already been declining, was cut off at the knees overnight.

That pushed Sun into a rage.

She decided Alice had to die.

As long as Alice was gone, Sun could develop new code and continue dominating the mobile device market.

But recently, overseas issues had kept her from coming into the country.

So Magnus became a tool to test the waters.

As for the passenger ship, there was never anything connected to Sun’s organization on board.

Chapter 307 Alice Sets Her Terms

Everything had been cleaned out before Magnus ever got involved,

No matter how thoroughly they searched, they wouldn’t have found a thing.

Alice suddenly tilted her head back and looked at the birds flying across the sky.

“Looks like Sun is coming into the country,” she said quietly,

As she was getting off the ship, Alice received a phone call.

The call was encrypted.

She already knew who it was.

She walked back onto the deck before answering

“General Fern.”

A hearty laugh came through the line.

“You really are a clever girl. How did you know it was me?”

Alice didn’t bother with small talk.

“The armed police showing up–was that your call?”

Julius paused for a moment. “Calling you sharp really isn’t an exaggeration. Fine. Since you already know, have you decided whether you want to work with me?”

Alice looked into the distance.

The ocean shimmered under the sunlight, scattered with broken reflections.

Endless.

“Benefits,” she said simply.

Julius fell silent.

Most people would go their entire lives without ever seeing him, let alone having him reach out to propose cooperation.

As long as they worked together, anything Alice did would come with a layer of protection.
