Marry A Hidden Billionaire By Rosalind Stevenson

Chapter 331

Alice’s heart raced as Daniel’s sudden question caught her off guard, triggering a bout of coughing that reverberated through her. She managed to catch her breath enough to respond, “That’s not exactly connected, you know.

Ugh!

Why did it seem like Daniel was hatching something devious?

Lately, this guy had a talent for setting traps she stumbled into without warning.

It was like he’d enrolled in a crash course on the art of conversation.

“Alright, I’ll hold off until there’s a clearer link before I ask, okay?” Daniel suggested.

“Huh?” Alice blinked, confused by his mention of linking things.

“Alice, don’t bail on me… Without you, our little ones and I will lead bad lives.” Daniel’s voice softened, carrying a touch of SOITOW.

Alice blinked again. Whenever he referred to their little ones, her determination wavered.

“Alice, divorce isn’t on the table. Our kids will always have you,” Daniel seemed to have unearthed Alice’s vulnerability. using their children as leverage.

“I never said I was filing for divorce right now… And don’t forget, during the whole Clark family debacle, I promised not to divorce you,” she retorted.

“I already told you. Alan and I need to go grab that advertising gig!” Alice hung up the phone hastily.

Daniel was unleashing tactic after tactic, and she genuinely feared she’d stumble into one before she even realized it.

Meanwhile, inside the car, William watched his big bro wrap up the call, a faint grin tugging at his lips. Playfully, he leaned over and poked.

“Daniel, let’s get real… Are you sneaking around, taking lessons on how to deal with Alice?”

Otherwise, how in the world did Daniel master all these moves?

Daniel didn’t dodge this time, raising an eyebrow. “You caught on, huh?”

William’s mouth twitched; he could even practically see Daniel’s lightbulb moment. Seriously, wasn’t it obvious?

“Daniel, am I still your favorite sibling?” William quipped.

“What do you think?”

“Well, since I’m still your top pick, shouldn’t you have clued me in on this outside coaching? Come on, spill the beans-who’s mentoring you in expanding your playbook so rapidly?”

William was convinced the Kaur family elders weren’t behind this.

Because they were always trying to dodge interactions with Daniel.

Daniel lifted his gaze, casting a sidelong glance at his cheeky brother, and intoned with a deep voice, “My brother-in-law.”

“Johnny?” William blinked rapidly, mulling it over for a moment. Suddenly, he leveled a serious look at Daniel. “Daniel, did you provide funds and business support for his tactics squad?”

Daniel answered, “If he needed it, I couldn’t say no.”

William’s eyes lit up, and he burst into laughter. “I knew it. You’ve been learning the ropes from Johnny. A on’t forget, Johnny used to be a male escort, so he’s a master at charming the ladies.

“So, Johnny’s been giving you lessons, helping you finesse your lines and charm my sister-in-law, right?”

Daniel replied, “He taught me just a portion of it.

The rest he pieced together on his own, and he wasn’t half bad at it. He’d already got the hang of what Johnny had shared.

And he could totally feel his wife’s aversion to him had taken a dip.

Meanwhile, Alice was waiting anxiously for Brian’s meeting to wrap up.

Inside Brian’s office, Alice and Alan lingered nearby as a young, attractive secretary brought them coffee.

As soon as the secretary spotted Alice, she froze momentarily, clearly taken aback by her presence,

Sure, they often rubbed elbows with stunning female celebrities, but they’d never encountered anyone as stunning as

Chapter 331 Alice.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

Once the secretary left, she couldn’t resist sparking a conversation with others in the company.

“I bet Mr. Miller’s going to spotlight Alice this time. She’s stunningly beautiful and a perfect fit for the Blue Enchantress theme!”

“I saw Alice too, and my word, she’s a knockout. Where did they find such a stunning celeb?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Whoever thought Lena’s celeb could nab the Blue Enchantress project? Yeah right, like that’s ever going to happen!” Lena already had her reservations about Alice and Alan, and now hearing they might secure the Blue Enchantress project only soured her mood further.

As for the company’s staff, they took jabs at her and her celebrity. Naturally, her spirits plummeted.

“Miss Clark, I won’t accept this!” Lena clenched her teeth, turning to Sabrina.

In reality, Sabrina was in a bad mood as well. But she understood all too well that no matter how unwilling she was, there was no way around it. She couldn’t stir up trouble with Brian.

“Hold on. I can’t cause a scene with Brian, but Lena’s team is fair game,” she thought.

With that in mind, a wicked glint appeared in Sabrina’s eyes as she said to Lena, “Take your artist, Cindera Winsor, over there. I’ve got your back, and you can raise a ruckus.”

“With you on our side, I feel better about it.”

Meanwhile, Alice sipped her coffee as Brian continued to gaze at her.

At that moment, Brian’s phone displayed a threatening message.

After reading it, he found it both amusing. Yet, as he observed Alice, he couldn’t deny that he was growing fond of the determination in her eyes.

Alice carried herself well, and he had no objections to her whatsoever.

He might even say that looking at her gave him a unique sense of comfort.

She was like a younger sister.

“Alice, how about you take on this ad… but there’s a twist-you’ll need to do a staged kiss with the male model we’ve got. Any concerns?” Brian asked.

Considering Sabrina’s mention of Alice’s marriage with Daniel, Brian guessed that Daniel probably wouldn’t be thrilled. about his woman engaging in kissing scenes.

Alice glanced at Alan and shook her head, responding, “I’m fine with it.”

It was just a staged kiss, not too intimate. She could handle it.

So, Brian went ahead and organized the contract.

Just as Alice was about to sign the contract, Lena walked in with her troublesome artist, Cindera, in tow, accompanied by Sabrina.

Cindera had heard that she had no shot at the Blue Enchantress ad and was feeling deeply disappointed.

The moment she spotted Alice, her mood soured. Pointing at her, she exclaimed, “Alice, you shameless schemer! How could you steal my chance away? I won’t stand for it!”

Alice looked at Cindera, shaking her head in disbelief. This woman was truly a piece of work.

Alice came here to discuss an advertising project, yet this woman acted like Alice had committed grand then.

“Do I really have to fight for a project I want?” Alice thought.

“Shut up! Who gave you permission to make a scene here?” Brian’s expression darkened as he sternly interrupted Cindera.

Cindera now wore a face full of resentment, wiping away tears pitifully as she looked at Brian. “Mr. Miller, you said I could give it a try.”

Brian’s gaze darkened, his tone turning icy. “I said you could try, but did you succeed?”

At this point, Lena turned her cold gaze toward Alice and declared, “Alice, you’ve hurt my celeb’s feelings, but I can let it go. As long as you don’t take the Blue Enchantress ad, we can still be friends.

“If there’s a suitable project, we can collaborate. I’ll make it easy for you.”
