Chapter 4 Divorce Daddy

Seemingly having noticed her anxiety, Zayden looked at Alice and asked, "Did you graduate from Delight High School?"

"No... Not really. I am a dropout," Alice composed herself and replied.

Alice had claimed that she graduated from Delight High School in her resume so that she could make it to the interview stage. She needed this job very much, so she used this method to come for the interview.

The other interviewer was surprised. "You mean that your resume is fake?"

He quickly apologized to Zayden, "Mr. Collins, I am sorry, our background checks..."

Zayden gestured for him to keep quiet. He then looked at Alice and asked sternly, "So, you are trying to get a job solely based on your experience working at Hotel Milan in France? Have you seen the job requirements?"

He tossed her resume and saw through her lies. She then heard Zayden say, "Don't try your schemes here. No company would want a liar like you!"

Alice was about to leave, but after hearing his words, she stopped. She was pissed.

"I have never seen someone as arrogant and cocky as him," she thought to herself.

Alice turned around, walked toward Zayden, and slammed her resume on the table in front of him. The commotion caused all the interviewers to look at her in surprise.

"She is the first one who dared to behave like this in front of Mr. Collins. Is she looking for death?" others thought in their hearts.

Zayden looked at her and asked, "What do you want?"

"Since you think that only a degree can prove a person's abilities, then why not make a bet with me?" Alice smiled and challenged, "What do you think?"

Trevor Davis, bored by the interviews, immediately perked up at Alice's actions. He couldn't help but think, "Wow, this is the first time that someone dared to bet with Zayden with such a challenging attitude. Looks like it's going to be fun."

"Girl, what do you intend to bet?" Trevor asked curiously.

Zayden heard this and looked at Trevor coldly.

Alice took a deep breath, looked directly at Zayden, and said, "I will work at a hotel under the Dream High Group for three months, and I guarantee a monthly profit of at least thirty to thirty-five percent. If I achieve this, then I want to be confirmed for the position. Moreover, my salary has to be tripled, and I want..." She paused and then emphasized her words, "An apology!"

Hearing that, everyone in the room gasped and looked at her in shock.

They all wondered: She only worked at Hotel Milan for a year, and she only created a profit margin of about 10%. What makes her dare to guarantee a profit margin of more than thirty percent?

Zayden pushed the resume aside, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and asked, "What if you fail to do it?"

Alice smiled brightly. "Then I will work for three years at Dream High Group, and I will do anything you say. Do you dare to accept this bet?"

"Accept it! Accept it!" Trevor instigated. "Zayden, don't chicken out!"

Zayden looked at him coldly, and Trevor pursed his lips.

"Go back and wait for further instructions," Zayden said and left.

However, when he walked past her, he paused. His hands subconsciously touched the earrings in his pocket, and his eyes fell on the woman standing next to him. He noticed her delicate features and her alluring fragrance, which began to arouse him. He seemed intrigued by this woman.

"I accept this bet!" he said and then walked away briskly.

Trevor ran after Zayden, but before that, he looked at Alice, winked at her, and said, "Girl, you are something! I hope that you win this bet!"

Hearing this, mixed feelings emerged from the bottom of Alice's heart. She was angry, nervous, anxious, and confused all at once.

But at least she got this job. To her, being employed in this way was much better than being rejected.

When Alice went home, it was already lunchtime. However, she still prepared something for lunch for her daughter. In case she got late, she didn't want her daughter to be hungry.

"Mommy, you are finally back!" As soon as Alice entered the house, Eliana ran over, hugged Alice, and said, "I have memorized all the stories and was waiting for you for lunch. Let's eat together."

"How sweet of you, my baby! Let me cook something more after we eat," Alice kissed her daughter's cheek and said.

After that, she went to the kitchen to cook something. She had only made some sandwiches for Eliana in the morning, and it was not enough for the two of them.

After Alice finished cooking, they had a hearty meal.

Alice looked at her daughter, who was eating happily, and thought about when the doctor told her that she had a baby girl after she regained consciousness. At that time, she had been both shocked and happy. Her daughter was very cute, and she didn't want to give her to that man.

Thus, Alice quickly left the country and broke her ties with the Brown family to protect her daughter.

It was very tough for Alice to raise a child alone while living abroad. But all her hardships were worth it when she saw her daughter smile.

Eliana was a very intelligent and smart girl. She could converse very well. When Eliana was just three years old, she could even brush her teeth. Soon after, she was able to do some housework and take care of herself when she was alone at home.

When they finished their lunch, Eliana suddenly said, "Mommy, let's divorce Daddy!"
