Up until that moment, Alexander had remained silent, observing the unfolding chaos. However, when he finally chose to break his silence, his words carried a sharp sting that humiliated Emily, and his subsequent utterance served as a chilling proclamation, foretelling the potential destruction he could unleash upon the Johnson family.The impact of Alexander's words was immediate. Without a moment's hesitation, the members of the Johnson family turned on Emily, unleashing a barrage of insults and blame upon her. Their self centered nature knew no bounds as they shamelessly threw her under the bus, devoid of any loyalty or compassion.Deep within his heart, Alexander couldn't help but sneer at the scene playing out before him. Observing Emily's relentless efforts to gain her family's appreciation, only to be denied their support at the slightest misstep, he couldn't help but see her actions as foolish. It was a stark reminder of the opportunities she had missed when she chose to betray

"John posted a tweet on his social media about being bullied and treated badly by the White's Group. He even said that you, the CEO, insulted him personally, so his fans got angry and are attacking us," The secretary informed Arthur, concern evident in her voice.Arthur leaned back in his chair, a wry smile playing on his lips. "Ah, the power of the masses. It's fascinating, I must admit. But does he really think this is enough to topple my White's Group? Offending me may mean nothing. I could simply deal with him individually, but the White's Group is not fully under my control," he mused, his tone tinged with a mixture of amusement and contemplation.As the secretary was about to take her leave, the door to Arthur's office swung open, revealing Alexander accompanied by Isabel. The security guards, though unaware of Alexander's identity, they knew he had a close association with Arthur and thus allowed him to enter without questions.Arthur quickly rose from his seat, a respectful sm

Three days had passed since the incident of John the rising star, and now the scene shifted to the esteemed Forbes Family. Renowned as one of the most influential families in Fairview, their prominent status in the community was a direct result of their abundant wealth and extensive sphere of influence. Ranking fourth among the city's most powerful families, the Forbes family held a position of considerable authority. However, lately, they had begun to perceive a decline in their once-unchallenged power, prompting them to take drastic measures.Thus, the closed-door event was conceived—an exclusive gathering meticulously designed for the elite of Fairview's business landscape, which included individuals like Arthur. The underlying motive behind this highly restricted affair became increasingly apparent: the Forbes family sought to exert control over the attendees, aiming to either assimilate their businesses into their own vast empire or manipulate them as obedient pawns within their

Xavier quickly took a seat next to Alexander, who generously poured him a drink. Despite Xavier's lack of desire to indulge, he found himself with no choice but to accept. Approximately twenty minutes later, Xavier's father, a middle-aged man, entered the room and was taken aback by the sight of the unconscious men in black scattered on the ground. Isabel had incapacitated them to prevent their groans of pain from causing any disturbance.As Xavier's father approached, his eyes fell upon Xavier, who was in the midst of drinking with Alexander. He addressed his son, curiosity and concern evident in his voice, "Xavier, what's happening here?"However, Xavier remained silent, unwilling to speak in the presence of Alexander.Alexander interjected, trying to alleviate the confusion, "Oh, Mr. Forbes, please join us."Although Xavier's father was perplexed, he managed to maintain his composure. He approached them and took a seat as Alexander poured him a drink as well. He glanced at Arthur a

Xavier immediately lowered his head in a respectful bow towards Alexander, expressing his remorse, "I beg your forgiveness, Alexander. My brother's actions were thoughtless and disrespectful."Vincent and Emily stood there in shock, unable to comprehend Xavier's submissive behavior towards Alexander. Vincent questioned his brother, bewildered, "Brother, why are you treating this lowly individual as if he were of noble stature?"Before Vincent could finish his sentence, Xavier swiftly delivered a slap to his face, commanding him sternly, "Apologize to him immediately.""You," Before Vincent could complete his words, another slap followed.However, he realized that something was amiss and reluctantly obeyed his brother's instructions, choosing to comply for the time being, unaware of the details surrounding the situation.Though he was a playboy who didn't take the family business serious, he knew that the family had made serious losses in the business attack against the White's Group r
