The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Suicide Secret Exposed

“Boss, Mrs. Nolan, you wanted to see me?”

Donovan wiped his sweat, looking a bit confused.

Eric moved a chair from nearby over to Alice, and she sat down naturally.

Seeing this, Donovan was shocked.

Did Boss really have no pride in front of his wife?

What kind of shocking news was this?

He looked at Alice with even more respect.

“Mrs. Nolan, what can I do for you?”

His tone was extremely flattering.

Alice’s voice was very calm and light.

“Mr. Tate, I know you’re in a tough spot right now, and I won’t make things harder for you.”

Hearing this, Donovan’s heart softened.

His previous boss had been Ruby.

Over the years, he had worked diligently. Even if he hadn’t achieved great things, he had put in the hard work.

Ruby was strict with her subordinates.

That was actually a good thing.

But because of it, he often got punished for not meeting targets.

It was only this year that business had picked up, allowing him to work properly and even get promoted to

manager.

But he hadn’t been manager for long before the hotel was handed over to Eric.

To outsiders, he seemed like one of Ruby’s loyal core team members.

If Eric took over the hotel, the first person he’d deal with would be him.

Now he understood why the previous managers had all left.

He had thought it was due to a bad market, and they had job–hopped.

He hadn’t realized they knew in advance that the hotel was being handed back.

So they planned to follow Ruby to other places.

He had no choice.

After all, he had already mentally prepared himself to pack up and leave.

“How much do you know about this hotel?”

Donovan immediately started listing the hotel’s room count, including the suites, premium rooms with views, executive rooms, and more.

He even listed the banquet halls that could host large events.

In short, he knew it all like the back of his hand.

“The fourth floor.”

After hearing what he said, Alice found that it basically matched the hotel’s setup.

So she didn’t point out any errors.

She directly stated her purpose.

Donovan was stunned for a moment.

Then, realizing something, his face turned pale.

For a while, he really didn’t dare to speak.

Alice could see he was flustered, so she didn’t rush to pressure him and continued.

“Mr. Tate, hotels are places where people stay, and they might create a bond and connection for us.”

“We always have to look forward, right?”

“Sometimes, coming clean leads to leniency. It’s a lot more comfortable than being stubborn and facing the consequences.”

“At your age, you must have a wife and kids at home, right?”

Donovan nodded.

“How’s your kid doing in school? Have you thought about their future?”

“Are they aiming for Harvard or Stanford?”

“Oh, that’s a bit far off. So, what school will your child go to for first grade?”

Cold sweat broke out on Donovan’s face again.

He hadn’t expected Alice to know so much.

“Mrs. Nolan, I–I… ”

She stopped asking questions and waited for him to speak.

After a long pause, Donovan finally took a deep breath and slowly said, “A few months ago, a girl stayed on the fourth floor.”

“The girl–I don’t know what happened–but she tried to take her own life in the room.

“She had already slit her wrists, but luckily our staff found her in time, and now she’s in the hospital getting

treatment.”

“This incident was covered up by Ms. Randall.”

“The girl is out of immediate danger now.”

“But she seems to have severe depression, so she could attempt it again and succeed at any time.”

Donovan’s face was pale.

He was on the verge of tears.

“Mrs. Nolan, if this girl suddenly dies, won’t our hotel be held responsible?”
