Chapter 93 Nothing Like Your
Even if a tiger loses some teeth, it’s still a tiger.
Everyone was thinking, so the room fell quiet for a moment.
Eric and Alice walked in and took their seats.
Ruby stood beside Oscar’s wheelchair, her face full of anger.

Irene took a sip of tea and said softly, “Alright, let’s get started on the fashion department problem.”
Cheryl spoke up again.
“We still think the best plan is to pool money together and fix this.”
Everyone else nodded after Cheryl, clearly agreeing.
Irene sighed lightly.
“That’s the easiest solution and not a bad one. But how much money are we talking about, and who pays what? Any ideas?”
Cheryl smiled. “Let’s just go by shares. Our family has only 5%, so…”
Besides Oscar’s family, the others didn’t hold much stock.
So their contributions would be small, naturally.
Alice wasn’t happy.
These people caused the mess but now wanted to squeeze Oscar’s family.
Ruby spoke first. “We should trace it to the source. Whoever started this should
pay most.”
Cheryl frowned.
“Right now, influencers and celebrities are anxious. If we waste time investigating, once they spill this, Nolan Group’s reputation could tank.
“What I mean is …
She hesitated a bit.
“Let’s put up money based on shares first. After we settle this, we can investigate.

“Then whoever’s responsible pays all the losses, okay?”
Ruby didn’t say anything, but her displeasure was clear.
Cheryl’s daughter, Whitney Nolan, said calmly, “There’s another way.”
Cheryl frowned again. “You’re just a kid–don’t talk nonsense.”
Whitney was only 23, fresh out of college, looking innocent.
Even if she messed up, no one would blame her.
Irene smiled slightly. “Whitney, go ahead.”
“I just heard–the popular actor, Boston, is Alice’s brother.”
Everyone looked surprised, clearly unaware.

“Oh, that explains it. Mr. Boston doesn’t want to use the family name, so he uses the stage name, Brandon Knight, in showbiz.”
When they heard “Brandon Knight,” everyone got it.
Brandon had blown up recently.
He was the second lead in a hit web series and went viral online.
Fans even felt sorry for him.
Since Boston rarely went to social events, few knew who he really was.
When “Brandon” got famous, many thought he was a newcomer.
A playful glint showed in Irene’s eyes.
“Keep going.”
“The celebrity we offended this time is in the same agency as Mr. Boston.”
Whitney shyly glanced at Alice.
“If Alice asks Mr. Boston to step in, the other side might give us a few more days.”
No one expected this plan, so everyone looked at Alice hopefully.
Alice glanced at them and scoffed. “You’re trying to guilt–trip me now?”

They were speechless.
Before anyone could answer, Alice cut them off.
“If I’m negotiating, who’s gonna pay me for that?”
Everyone was stunned.
She makes it sound like Eric is broke.

“Oh, and besides a fee for me, there’s Nolan Group’s appearance fee, coordination fee, and travel expenses.”
Alice acted generous.
“I haven’t even counted the fee for all the talking.”
Everyone was silent.
She sure knows how to charge.
And if the money goes to Alice, we’ll probably never see it again.
Whitney, just making a suggestion, suddenly realized things were going badly and went quiet.
Cheryl took the chance.
“Alice, can’t you work a little for your own family’s business?”
Alice smiled faintly.
“I’m nothing like you, Cheryl, giving everything without expecting anything. I put a price on everything I do–I’m not stupid.”
Cheryl’s face turned red from being called out.
Someone couldn’t help but say, “You said you wouldn’t ignore Nolan Group’s bad press, but now you want money? You’re good at this game.”
Alice smiled.
“If you don’t know how the game works, why don’t you go negotiate with that celebrity yourself?”
That person couldn’t give a comeback.
