Alice was lost in thought when she suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Robert Hudson, a senior figure in the company and a close friend of her father who had passed away."Excellent performance, Alice," Robert smiled, his eyes shining with approval and a hint of concern. "Your father would be proud of you."Alice smiled back, "Thank you, Robert uncle. I was just doing my best."Robert walked over to her and whispered, "Be careful, child. Your performance today was excellent, but it will also make some people uneasy. William and Richard won't give up their control of the company easily."Alice nodded, her expression becoming serious. "I know. But I have to do it for my father and the company."Robert patted her shoulder, "I'll do whatever I can to support you. But you'll need more allies. Remember, in the business world, information is power."Just then, Alice's assistant rushed in. "Sorry to interrupt, Miss Alice. The finance department jus

Alice sat in her father's study, surrounded by files and ledgers. The sunlight streaming through the half-open blinds on the window cast shadows on the floor, creating a pattern of light and darkness. The room was filled with a faint smell of leather and old books, reminding her of the days when her father taught her to read. The room had always been a sacred place for her father, and even after his death, Alice rarely entered it. But now, in search of the truth, she had to break this taboo.Her fingers gently caressed a thick ledger, which she had found in her father's safe. The safe was hidden in a secret compartment behind the bookshelf, and Alice might never have discovered it if she had not accidentally bumped into the mechanism. Her heart raced as she opened the safe, not knowing what secrets it would reveal.Opening the yellowed pages, she saw a string of numbers and company names. Alice frowned, the transfer records were complex and suspicious, involving several companies name
The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 11：Meeting in the Coffee Shop
The coffee shop is located on the outskirts of the city, far from the noisy commercial district. It's a gloomy afternoon with dark clouds, as if foretelling an impending storm. The coffee shop is filled with the rich aroma of coffee, mixed with the scent of freshly baked desserts, creating a cozy yet mysterious atmosphere. Alicia is sitting in a corner, choosing a seat with a clear view of the entrance. She has applied light makeup today and is wearing a plain gray sweater and jeans, trying not to draw attention. Her fingers unconsciously caress the coffee cup in front of her, and her gaze occasionally glances at the glass door of the coffee shop. There are only a few customers in the coffee shop, some of whom are concentrating on their laptops, while others are speaking in low voices. Alicia tries to look like she is just waiting for a regular friend, but her heart is raging within her. Just as Alicia began to doubt whether George would show up, the door of the coffee shop was pus

Alicia closed her eyes, as if she could also feel the oppressive atmosphere of that morning. Her father's voice, the one that had always been so confident and powerful in her memory, suddenly seemed distant and vague."Your father's voice sounded urgent," George continued. "He said he had remembered some important things and wanted me to come see him immediately. I still remember the sound of his breathing being a bit hurried and the background noise of searching for papers."George paused for a moment, taking a sip of the already cold coffee. The bitter taste made him frown. "I told him I would go right away. But just as I was about to leave the house, I received a call from the traffic control center. They said... said your father's car had crashed on the winding mountain road."Alicia felt dizzy, and she struggled to control her emotions, but she still felt tears welling up in her eyes."I immediately rushed to the scene," George's voice became even lower, "and it was the most horr
The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 13: Goodbye
"Damn!" Alicia muttered, as the key wouldn't fit into the lock several times. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Finally, the key was inserted into the correct position.The moment the engine roared to life, Alisha let out a sigh of relief. She slammed on the gas pedal, and the car shot out of the parking lot like an arrow. The tires screeched against the ground, and the car swayed slightly. In the rearview mirror, she saw the man had run onto the road and was already dialing his phone.Alicia's heart was still racing at an alarming rate, but she forced herself to concentrate on the road. Following the route she remembered, she began driving towards the suburbs of the city. The city was bathed in the glow of nighttime lights, and the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets was gradually decreasing. Neon lights cast colorful shadows on the car windows, and Alisha felt as if she were in a surreal dream.About twenty minutes later, Alicia noticed that a black SUV ha

Alice felt a rush of panic surge through her, and she instinctively reached for the USB stick hidden in her underwear. The tiny device felt like a thousand pounds of weight at that moment. "But George, I can't just leave you like this! We don't know what's on that USB stick yet."George reached out and gently placed a hand on Alice's shoulder. His eyes were firm and gentle. "Listen, your father trusts you, and so do I. You're much stronger than you think. Now, you have to believe in yourself. The secret on that USB stick, only you can unlock it."Alice took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew George was right, but the pain of parting still tore her heart apart."Okay," she finally said, her voice slightly trembling.Just then, a distant barking sound broke the silence of the night. George and Alice both instinctively looked up."They're coming," George whispered. "We have to go."The two quickly got up and moved through the dark forest in silence. The moonlight fil

The elevator doors opened, and Alicia walked towards her office. Her colleagues greeted her as usual, discussing their weekend plans and the latest office gossip. Alicia mechanically responded, trying to appear as normal as possible.Alicia sat at her desk, mechanically scrolling through her emails, but her thoughts had drifted elsewhere. The office was filled with the scent of coffee and the sound of keyboards, and her colleagues' busy figures darted in her peripheral vision, but none of it could hold her attention. Her entire focus was on the tiny USB stick hidden deep in her pocket, the secret container that held her darkest secret.The secret on the USB stick felt like a ticking time bomb that could explode her life at any moment. Alicia could feel its presence, as if it had come alive and was restlessly jumping in her pocket.

Alicia Stewart stood at the floor-to-ceiling window in her apartment, gazing out over the city's nightscape. Her reflection was mirrored on the glass, her long blonde hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, accentuating her fair skin and delicate features. She was wearing a simple white silk robe, holding a glass of red wine, and her eyes sparkled with thoughtful light.There were still two weeks to go until the launch of the new product, and Alicia's mind was already forming a vague outline of a plan. She knew that the event was not only crucial to the company's future, but also a golden opportunity for her to get closer to the Black family.She took a sip of her wine and recalled the meeting earlier that day at the company. James from the marketing department had proposed a bold idea: "We should invite Alexander Black, the young head of the Black family, to the launch event. This will give our new product huge exposure."Alicia had merely nodded and smiled, but inside she was surp
