The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392 What’s Hidden in the Wall

Alice finally sat down and opened her email.

Inside was a cooperation agreement the Becks had reached with Ruby.

The Becks worked in water–related industries.

Ruby wanted a share of the profits, so she planned to trade Nolan Group stock in exchange.

Both sides had made their intentions very clear

Fletcher’s expression darkened.

“Ms. Spencer, there’s nothing wrong with me working with Ms. Randall, right?”

The contract had already been reviewed by a lawyer. There were no problems.

He truly didn’t understand what Alice was trying to do.

“So I can only guess,” Fletcher said slowly, “that as the younger generation, you’re here on behalf of Ms. Randall to check our sincerity?”

Alice answered simply.

“End this partnership.”

Fletcher froze, then laughed in anger.

“End it?

“Ms. Spencer, are you the one who’s lost your mind, or is it me?

“Why would I end it? This deal benefits both sides.

“And if you’re saying that, you should at least give me a reason.”

Alice stood up and looked at him seriously.

“Because I’m leaving Nolan Group. I also don’t see eye to eye with Ruby. What do you think?”

Fletcher kept his polite smile.

“Ms. Spencer, you’re joking. You’re family. Your relationship should be very close.

“If I work with Ms. Randall, isn’t that the same as working with you?

Even if it wasn’t, Eric wasn’t someone to underestimate. He would still take a large share.

Fletcher didn’t want to offend them now. There could be more chances to work together later.

“If you work with Ruby,” Alice said calmly, “you’re standing against the two of us. Have you thought about the consequences?”

Fletcher grew anxious.

“Ms. Spencer, I’ve already said this is a win–win deal. If you deliberately destroy it, you’ll be breaking the law!

“And if Ms. Randall sent you here to test me, then tell her this–my family values our reputation. If she backs out, I can cancel the contract at any time.”

He clearly had no intention of giving in to Alice or Eric.

At least he still cared about his reputation.

Alice didn’t want that reputation tied to Ruby.

She stood up and walked toward the living room wall.

“Mr. Beck, this wall is nice.”

Fletcher looked over.

A decorative painting hung there.

It wasn’t expensive, about 200,000 dollars when he bought it.

For ordinary people, that was a lot of money.

That painting meant nothing at all for them.

It was no different from an ordinary family tossing away a couple of dollars.

No one would care,

So, logically, the painting should have meant nothing to Alice either.

The fact that she stopped to admire it was surprising and almost flattering.

Fletcher stood up and walked over to the painting.

“I don’t really understand art,” he said. “I just thought it looked nice.”

Alice smiled.

“How could you not understand?” she said. “You understand it very well.”

Fletcher froze.

That remark was sharp, so sharp that he didn’t know how to respond.

Alice pointed at the treasures that covered the mountains in the painting.

“Look at the hidden meaning,” she said. “And you still say you don’t understand? You understand money very well, Mr. Beck.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have hidden something so important behind this painting.”

Fletcher was shaken, but he quickly forced himself to stay calm.

“Ms. Spencer, you must be joking,” he said. “There’s nothing behind this painting. Just a wall.”

“Yes,” Alice replied gently. “A hollow wall. One that holds many things. Mr. Beck, didn’t you know?”

Her voice was soft; she never raised her tone.

But her words slammed hard into his chest.

Fletcher clenched his fists.
