The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350 You Win Some, You Lose Some

Venom’s pupils shook.

He’d always known Eric and Alice were together.

He used to comfort himself, telling himself maybe Alice was just playing along.

Maybe one day, she’d simply walk away from Nolan Group.

Because he knew Alice would never be trapped in one place forever.

But what he hadn’t expected was for her to openly acknowledge Eric like this.

She said he was her husband.

The moment he heard the word “husband,” it felt like his chest was being crushed.

Every cell in his body felt like it was being sliced open with a knife.

“Mr. Venom, are you upset?”

Eric didn’t get a reply, yet the corner of his lips still curved upward.

His tone sounded gentle, but his words were ruthless.

“Do you feel like you’re losing money because there’s no interest?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll have the company calculate it using the highest market rate.”

That sentence cut straight to the heart.

The hostility in Venom’s eyes almost turned solid.

But he didn’t want to show that side of himself in front of Alice.

So even though his anger was boiling inside, he still forced himself to look calm.

“Mr. Eric, you’re too kind.”

His voice sounded normal, even warm.

To an outsider, the three of them looked strangely close, perhaps close enough to sit at the same table for a meal.

Alice immediately pulled Eric down to sit.

She felt irritated.

Then she looked at Venom and said, “We’re done here. Please don’t stand here and block the way. You’re affecting the auction.”

Venom took the hit but didn’t give up.

A gentle smile stayed on his face.

“You’re right. I’ll leave now.”

He didn’t need to sit next to Alice.

As long as he could protect her and keep her from getting hurt, that was enough.

So he walked back to his seat, looking almost cheerful.

The people around them stared with puzzled glances.

We were expecting some dramatic love triangle. And this is it?

They’re so chill. Where’s the drama?

Still, the auctioneer was good at keeping things lively, and the next items were brought out.

A few scattered bids followed, and the atmosphere slowly returned to normal.

Sophie finally found her chance.

She handed the painting to Gracie.

“Ms. Lawrence, I bought this for you. Please accept it.”

Gracie didn’t hesitate and took the painting.

“Thank you.”

Sophie smiled brightly.

“No problem, Ms. Lawrence.”

But inside, her heart was bleeding.

Gracie had given her a project.

But at most, that project would only bring in 400 million.

She’d basically lost ten million on top of that.

Then she thought it over again.

If Gracie could give her one project, she could give her a second.

So she stopped feeling bad about the money.

After all, you win some, you lose some.

The auction went smoothly and soon came to an end. Next came the dinner party.

During this time, everyone was free to move around.

They could talk business or step outside for some air. Sophie had finally secured Gracie, but the loss of 400 million still weighed on her. She went outside with Rosalie to get some air.

Rosalie sighed.

“Don’t stay angry over the money. You have to look forward.”

Sophie felt miserable.

“The company doesn’t have much cash left to move around, Mom. This is all Stella’s fault.

“She had that painting and should’ve given it to you.

“But instead, she didn’t care about your kindness at all and donated it right there.

“Mom, 400 million. If she’d given it to you earlier, why would we have had to spend so much?”

Rosalie’s eyes filled with resentment.

“That ungrateful girl.”

Sophie looked up and happened to see Alice and Stella coming around the corner.

She sneered.
