Chapter 203
Alice watched them coldly.
“Mr. Ethan Welch, did you hear that? I don’t owe you anything. The allowance and gifts mostly went to Chise 1 &ado’s get a single thing”
“But I bought you that antique golden crown! It is my first pot of money!”
“Yes, but it was compensated to Chloe. It was a gift of apology.”
Ethan was stumped. He remembered that.
He tried to refute her.
But he couldn’t recall any other substantial gifts.
Ethan was speechless.
Alice said sarcastically, “So, Mr. Ethan Welch, what’s your offer?
He couldn’t morally blackmail her anymore.
He said gruffly, “How much do you want?
“Whatever you think it’s worth. They are probably your competitors or enemies. You can profit greatly from it.”
Alice looked at Ethan.
Ethan finally said, “One million dollars.”
“Two million dollars.”
“Alice, don’t push it! It’s not worth two million!”
Alice said lightly, “Then don’t buy it.”
She tossed the USB drive into the trash. It was useless to her.
Ethan saw Alice throw it as if it was trash.
Ethan thought, “We’re still negotiating. Why did she throw it away?”
Ethan was furious. He conceded, “Two million dollars.”
“Transfer now. Cash for goods.”
Alice was equally decisive. She thought the USB drive was useful to annoy Ethan and earn some money.
Ethan was unhappy.
Ethan reluctantly told his secretary, “Transfer the money!”
The secretary suggested, “Boss, maybe we should ask Ms. Alice to fix the system. We can’t solve it.”
“Did I ask for your opinion?”
Ethan’s pride wouldn’t let him beg Alice.
Noah tried to persuade him.“Ethan, you don’t trust outsiders. You said they would steal the company’s date. Ask Alice for help. She’s family.”
“Cut it out! I am not! Don’t ask me! I don’t want to take the blame!”
She didn’t want to be suspected if problems arose.
Alice directly refused.

Ethan told Noah, “You hear that? She doesn’t want to. Stop bothering her.”
Noah looked at Alice expectantly.
Alice remained cold.“I won’t.”
Noah was persistent. “We’ll pay you salary. Any salary you want.”
Alice was exasperated. Mr. Noah Welch, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me?”
Noah’s secretary stopped him.“Mr. Noah, don’t force her.”
Noah glanced at Mike. He wanted Alice to maintain contact with the family.
Mike sighed.“Sir, we can find someone. Didn’t Mr. Ethan hire a master hacker?”
Ethan snorted. “Yes, I did. The system will be fixed soon. There are plenty of experts. Money solves problems.”
Hearing his words, Alice had a hunch.
She thought, “Could this be a coincidence?
‘It is probably my imagination. The black market is huge. The order couldn’t be from the Welch Group.”
She checked her phone. Two million dollars had arrived.
She leaned back, nudging the trash can.“Take it.”
She wouldn’t pick it up.
Ethan was furious.“Alice, you want me to pick it up from the trash?”
“You need it, so pick it up.”
“Is this your attitude? That cost me two million dollars!”
Alice’s face turned cold.“Then don’t pick it up. I’ll refund you.”
“You!”
Ethan was livid.
Alice was unyielding.
Noah bent down, retrieving the USB drive from the trash.
Mike tried to stop him.“Sir, let me do it.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not dirty.”
Noah wiped it with a tissue. He looked at Alice, convinced she still cared about the Welch family.
Or she wouldn’t have kept these data.
The two million dollars was fair compensation.
Noah said quietly, “Alice, I heard you and Andrew are close. But do you know who he is?”
Alice didn’t like his gaze.
She frowned. “I only found it out recently. It’s none of your business.”

Ethan said, “Alice, you’re from the Welch family. You were raised wealthily. But you chose to be a mistress! Do you have any respect for Mom and Dad?”
Alice’s face turned icy.
She stared at Ethan.“Say that again!”

Nods exdaimed, Fahan, stop i**
His pale face was flushed with excitement. He looked like he might faint.
Vahan stopped.
Noah turned around and coughed.
Worried, Mike came over and offered him medicine.“Take it.”
“No need. I won’t die.”
Nosh endured physical discomfort and looked at Alice, hoping for concern.
She remained expressionless.
Noah felt dejected“Alice, we heard about you and Andrew’s relationship. We’re worried you’ll get hurt. The Yates family are incredibly wealthy.”
Even the Welch family couldn’t match it.
Alice scoffed.“You’re worried I’ll be a mistress and shame the Welch family, right?”
Erhan said coldly, “Exactly,”
I cut ties with the Welch family. I don’t need your permission.”
“Alice, have some shame! Do you think this is glorious? A few shares from a small company! And you chose to be a mistress!*
A loud bang let out. The door flew open.
Jack entered, his face cold. Staring at Ethan, he said, “Say that again.”
Ethan stared at Jack, his face changing.
Ethan thought, “Could he be…?”
