Chapter 1173: Chapter 614: Extra Story: She Came to Settle Accounts with Him 2_2

Night.

Alice Robinson sat by the window in her pajamas.

The night scene in Germany was completely different from that of Paris.

If Paris’s nightscape was like a passionate tango, then Germany’s was the serene Swan Lake. Two countries, two feelings. Paris was known for romance, while Germany was known for tranquility.

Yet, in such a quiet country, Alice’s heart was anything but calm.

For some reason, throughout the day, her mind kept wandering to that person.

She shouldn’t have thought of him, but once he stepped into her world, he disrupted the rhythm of her life.

Fortunately, over the past year or so, she had become much clearer-headed than before, and she would never allow that person to disrupt her life again.

Her life had already begun anew.

Thinking of this, Alice picked up her phone and called Claud Laurence.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t get through to Claud Laurence.

At that moment, Claud Laurence was in a meeting in the United Arab Emirates.

Thinking of Claud Laurence’s selfless protection and the warm smile he always had for her, Alice couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart and sent him a text message.

"I’ve handled the matters in Germany and will be back in Paris tomorrow. You don’t have to worry... Also, I miss you."

She could imagine Claud Laurence’s joy upon receiving this message, and she couldn’t help but smile inwardly.

This was the life she wanted, and she absolutely couldn’t repeat past mistakes.

Claud Laurence was the luckiest encounter of her life, and she would definitely cherish it.

At dawn, after packing her luggage, Alice left the hotel.

Andie and others were already waiting outside the hotel for her. Thanks to the relaxation from the day before, their faces no longer displayed the discouragement of yesterday and were full of vigor.

Looking at her spirited employees, Alice knew they were actually feeling downhearted. After all, they had put in days and nights of effort on the promotional planning to secure the beer festival sponsorship. The fact that she failed to lead her subordinates to win the sponsorship was disappointing, but they all acted carefree to avoid adding pressure on her.

Alice didn’t point this out and smiled along with them. "Though our trip to Germany had its regrets, this journey let me see the employees fighting alongside me... I won’t blame myself or feel down; I’m proud to have you, such outstanding employees."

The employees were deeply moved, hurriedly helping Alice with her luggage and opening the car door for her.

Though Alice used words to motivate her employees, deep down she still regretted not securing the German beer festival sponsorship. After all, it was indeed the best opportunity to promote "Tench" globally...

Regardless, Alice maintained a positive mindset as she got into the car.

Just as everyone was trying hard to conceal their inner disappointment, a black car suddenly stopped in front of them.

As Alice was about to get in her car, she paused seeing the person stepping out of the black car.

It was Rodney.

Alice’s expression turned cold, showing no friendliness at all.

Rodney’s despicable behavior last night made Alice want to punch him right then and there, but she had to consider her reputation, and she was afraid the situation might drag out issues with Chester Robinson. She didn’t want any unexpected complications.

Alice noticed Rodney’s face was bruised in several places, seemingly having been beaten up last night.

"Miss Robinson..." Rodney stepped forward to speak to Alice.

Alice couldn’t discern Rodney’s intentions and looked at him coldly.

Rodney chuckled, "Miss Robinson, where are you planning to go?"

Alice sneered, "Are you here to watch me fail, Mr. Rodney? Yes, I’m about to return to Germany, but even if ’Tench’ didn’t get the beer festival sponsorship, it will still shine globally in the future."

Rodney quickly waved his hand, "Miss Robinson, you misunderstood. I’m not here to see you fail; I just happened to come to stop you from returning to Germany... Didn’t you see the news this morning?"

"What?"

Rodney said, "An hour ago, I announced to the public that ’Tench’ would be the wine sponsor for our Munich beer festival. So now, we are partners."

Rodney’s words shocked everyone present.

Andie and several colleagues exchanged glances in disbelief.

Rodney handed the contract to Alice, saying, "Miss Robinson, I think you wouldn’t want to miss such a great promotional opportunity, would you? Once you sign this contract, ’Tench’ will officially be the beer festival sponsor."

Alice stood there in a daze, unable to comprehend the situation.

Wh... what?

"Tench" got the sponsorship?

Worried Alice wouldn’t believe it, Rodney handed the contract to a lawyer by his side, "This is the lawyer I brought to serve as a witness. He can guarantee the contract I’ve drafted is genuine and valid, Miss Robinson, please sign the contract!"

Andie, utterly confused, leaned in close to Alice and asked skeptically, "Miss Robinson, why would Rodney suddenly have such a change of heart? Yesterday he seemed smug about us ’Tench’ not getting the sponsorship, didn’t he?"

At that moment, the lawyer spoke up for Rodney, "Miss Robinson, I am an attorney from XX law firm, and I can vouch for the validity of this contract."

"Miss Robinson, if you’re willing, let’s find a place to discuss our cooperation for the beer festival thoroughly..."

Seeing Rodney’s earnestness and the lawyer’s serious expression, everyone finally believed everything was real.

Alice hesitated on the spot for a long time, unable to make a decision.

An hour later.

Under the lawyer’s witness in a high-end café, Alice eventually signed the sponsorship contract with Rodney.

As soon as she signed the contract, Rodney left swiftly as if escaping, and everyone found it inexplicable.

Alice, however, was very calm, her lips curved into a smile.

Andie, seeing Alice’s composed demeanor, couldn’t help but ask excitedly, "Miss Robinson, how did Rodney have such a major change of heart?"

"Someone must have been helping our Miss Robinson behind the scenes!"

"Yes, Miss Robinson, the person who could make Rodney flee like a drowned rat must be General Laurence, right?"

Andie suddenly slapped her forehead, "How did we not think of that? It must have been General Laurence helping Miss Robinson solve the problem behind her back. General Laurence is truly amazing!"

Alice blushed shyly.

She knew it was Claud; without Claud, Rodney wouldn’t have changed his mind.

Claud must have realized the difficulties she faced during her trip to Germany and secretly resolved the issues for her.
