Chapter 210 The Jaxon Group 

“I’ll spell it out even more clearly. 

“Don’t think that only a man and a woman can get married.” 

Eric finally understood what she meant. 

Ridiculous. 

That was the first word that came to mind once he realized what she was talking about. 

But he still took it seriously. 

Because Irene wasn’t the type who’d come confront him at Nolan Group over some baseless rumor. 

She must’ve gotten her hands on some so–called “evidence“. 

And this evidence had to be something solid–at least from Irene’s perspective. 

Also … 

Irene hardly left the house these days. How could she possibly have gotten her hands on this kind of evidence? 

So the question is, who gave it to her? 

He maintained a neutral expression, trying his best not to let his thoughts show. 

He said mildly, “You’re overthinking it.” 

Irene was seething. 

She stood up and walked to his side. 

“I’m overthinking it? Fine, let’s say it’s just me being old and paranoid. But what about everyone else? 

“You’d better take a look at the news online. 

“Eric, you’re the most accomplished member of the Nolan family. 

“I was hoping that after I’m gone, you’d be the one to take over Nolan Group. 

“You had been in a coma for three years. 

“While you were away, the Nolan Group went through a complete transformation–it’s nothing like it used. to be.” 

“If Alice and Risa are really plotting to take over Nolan Group, do you think it’ll survive intact?” 

IT department.

Alice’s main task today was slacking off. 

After all, the IT department had just landed a huge bonus for their latest success. 

And the department itself wasn’t exactly busy. 

So basically, the whole team was slacking. 

“Ms. Spencer.” 

Janice cautiously stepped into the office. “I just found out that Mrs. Irene is here.” 

Alice wasn’t interested. She was playing Solitaire on her computer. 

It was a game she coded herself. 

She’d designed the algorithm from scratch. 

Its difficulty level could rank in the top five in the world. 

“And?” 

“Word is she only came because Mr. Matt and Mr. Josh are in prison, and she’s run out of options. They say she’s hoping Mr. Nolan will show some mercy.” 

Alice snorted. 

Show some mercy? 

Matt and Josh had been cautious to begin with. There were no fatalities involved. 

Otherwise, they’d be rotting in prison for life. 

Seeing that Alice wasn’t interested in that topic, Janice added, 

“Ms. Spencer, do you remember that guy, Troy?” 

Alice answered, “Of course. What about him?” 

After he left, he joined one of our competitor companies. He’s now a director at Genesis Tech.” 

Alice nodded. “Get to the point.” 

Janice immediately continued. 

“A foreign expert just arrived. His name is Jaxon–no idea what his last name is. 

“This expert’s research focus is robotics and drone technology. 

“Nolan Group’s also involved in that research area, 

“Ms. Randall is currently in contact with him.” 

In reality, Troy hadn’t been doing well after he left. 

Chapter 210 The Jaxon Group 

His job at Genesis Tech was something Ruby had helped him land. 

Ruby was the one who helped him get his job at Genesis Tech. 

“Jaxon?” 

Alice rolled the name around in her mind. 

It sounded familiar. 

But she couldn’t quite place it. 

“Here’s the file.” 

Janice had come specifically to report this, so she had the materials ready. 

That’s when Alice finally recalled. 

Jaxon was a codename. 

Back when she was overseas, her drone company had been hemorrhaging money. 

No one wanted to invest. 

Thankfully, Risa had pulled strings and brought in a group of backers. 

At the time, there’d been a competitor company. 

The company was arrogant to the core, always finding something to criticize her for. 

A lot of people said that company was nothing but trouble. 

So it got nicknamed “Troublejack“.

Later, the people in the company didn’t like the sound of that, so they take the last part of the name and changed it to “Jaxon“. 

Jaxon wasn’t a person. It was a company. 

She closed the file and shut her eyes. 

An old friend had arrived. 

Of course she had to prepare a proper “welcome” for them. 

The next moment, someone knocked on the door. 

Janice rushed over to open it. 

“Mr. Palmer?” 

She blinked. “You’re looking for Ms. Spencer?” 

Daniel nodded. “Is Mrs. Nolan available?”

It was a bit inappropriate to call her that at work, but he just couldn’t shake the habit. 

So he still addressed Alice as “Mrs. Nolan“. 

Alice’s voice came from inside. 

“I’m free. Come in.” 

Janice quickly stepped aside to let him in. 

“You look like you’re in a hurry. Let me guess–Mrs. Irene pulled another stunt?” 

Daniel wiped the sweat from his forehead. 

“Mrs. Nolan, aren’t you worried at all?” 

Alice asked in return, “Worried about what?” 

“You might not know this, but Mrs. Irene’s been suspicious of your relationship with Risa. 

“She’s even launched an investigation into Risa. 

“And now she’s even pulled some strings to get Risa’s work suspended. 

Alice remained calm. “What’s that got to do with me?” 

Daniel froze. 

Isn’t Risa your best friend? 

If your best friend’s career took a hit, shouldn’t you be doing something to help? 

“Mrs. Nolan, you’re not going to help her?” 

Alice pressed the “Start” button, launching a new round of solitaire. 

“Daniel, Risa and I operate in different fields. If she thought I could help, she’d have come to me already.”
