The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370 Just in Time

Davy’s words make sense; they couldn’t drag this out.

From the time a case is accepted to the day it finally goes to trial, it takes at least six months.

And even if they won for sure, there would still be an enforcement period afterward.

If Nolan Group refused to comply on time, the court would have to step in and force enforcement, which would take even longer.

When you added it all up, almost a full year would be wasted.

“Janice, you can’t make decisions for everyone,” Davy said calmly. “But you can make decisions for yourself, right?

་་

“Considering you used to be fairly modest, I’ll give you a chance.

“Sign this, and we’ll pretend none of this ever happened.

“But if you stay stubborn, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Davy’s face darkened.

He knew it very well.

Even if Janice filed a lawsuit, during the long legal process, he had plenty of ways to pressure her into withdrawing the case.

By then, she would have nothing left and would have wasted a huge amount of time.

So yes, he was willing to show a bit of mercy, but only if she knew how to take it.

Janice clenched her teeth and walked back to the desk.

The agreement lay right there.

She recognized every word on the page, but reading it felt like a knife twisting in her chest.

Her hand trembled as she picked up the pen.

Tears fell heavily, splashing onto the paper.

“Wait.”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Janice felt her whole spirit jolt awake.

She dropped the pen and turned toward the door.

It really was Alice.

She stood there quietly, a cold curve at the corner of her lips. Her presence was sharp and intimidating, like a warning to stay away.

Janice sniffed hard.

The tight knot in her chest, nearly suffocating by moments of pressure, finally began to loosen.

She felt unbearably wronged.

“Ms. Spencer…

Her voice was thick with tears.

Alice lifted a hand and motioned for her to come over.

Janice hurried to her side.

Davy stood there, stunned.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected Alice to show up.

“Mrs. Nolan,” he said after a brief pause, quickly regaining his composure, “why didn’t you let us know in advance that you were coming?”

Though Alice’s status was high, HR was still under Ruby’s control.

Alice could scold him, sure, but she couldn’t fire him.

So what did he have to fear?

Davy didn’t think this was a big deal at all.

The smile on his face was mere politeness, hollow and fake.

“If I’d known carlier, I could’ve prepared some tea for you.”

He stepped closer and stood in front of Alice.

“But it’s not too late now. What kind of tea do you like, Mrs Nolan?”

Alice walked forward slowly and looked him up and down.

“You really are thick–skinned,” she said.

Davy blinked. “Huh?”

Alice gave a cold laugh. “Where did you even pick up that kind of shameless nerve?”

Davy froze.

“Mrs. Nolan, you really know how to joke,” he said stiffly.

Alice nodded. “If we’re talking about jokes, I’m not even close to your level.”

Davy stared at her. “What?”

“You dared to treat labor law like a joke,” Alice said coolly. “I truly can’t compete with that.”

The moment his words fell, several people suddenly pushed their way in from behind.

They were holding cameras. Before anyone inside could react, the agreement on the table was already being filmed.

“Who are you people? What are you doing? Get out! Get out!”

Davy panicked.

Only then did he realize Alice had already planned everything before she showed up.

She stood there talking to him for so long to buy time.

Or maybe she simply found him annoying and wanted to humiliate him a little more.

“I’m a reporter from Mapleford Daily,” someone said. “Manager, may I ask, was this agreement your personal decision, or was it ordered by Nolan Group’s leadership?”

There was no way to answer that.

Davy immediately shouted for security and called over other HR staff, trying to force the reporters out.

“I’m not accepting interviews. Get out!”
