As Alexander and his son, Charlie, reached safety outside the warehouse, Charlie began to cry uncontrollably, his small frame shaking in his father’s arms. “Dad... I was so scared,” he sobbed, his voice trembling.Before Alexander could respond, the sound of footsteps caught his attention. Kate and Elena rushed toward them, their faces filled with panic. Elena’s eyes immediately locked onto her son.“Charlie!” she cried, her voice breaking as she dropped to her knees in front of him. She pulled him from Alexander’s arms, holding him tightly against her chest. “Oh, my baby. You’re okay. You’re safe now,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face.Charlie clung to his mother, still trembling. “Mom, they were going to hurt me...”“I know, sweetheart, I know,” Elena murmured, stroking his hair. “But you’re safe now, I promise.”Alexander stood nearby, watching the emotional reunion, his face filled with guilt and relief. After a few moments, he placed a hand on Elena’s shoulder. “Elena

The Harrington family was consumed by tension and uncertainty, grappling with the shocking revelation of Alexander's true identity. They knew they had to act swiftly or risk facing the consequences of Alexander's wrath, which could lead to the downfall of their company and their financial ruin.Tracy, alone in her room, was deep in thought, trying to come up with a plan. She couldn't bear the thought of her family going poor, and her mind raced with ideas. She thought of seeking help from a wealthy and influential person, someone who could potentially save their company from Alexander's clutches.She picked up her phone and began searching the internet for a suitable candidate. After scrolling through various profiles, she stumbled upon one that caught her attention: "Michael Shawn, President of the M.S. Group." She learned that he had recently arrived in the state a few months ago but hadn't yet made an appearance at the company. His whereabouts were unknown, and Tracy's curiosity w

The presentation was unable to take place, as the audience rejected Elena or anyone from the Valking family. Elena’s face turned pale as she stood frozen in shock, her breath catching in her throat. Alexander was being humiliated, just like always. The crowd’s laughter echoed around the hall as people hurled food at him mercilessly."What is this imbecile still doing here!""Get him out now!" they all shouted, their faces twisted in disgust as they kept throwing food at him. Elena's heart pounded. Without thinking, she rushed forward and immediately pulled Alexander to his feet, shielding him with her body. Her voice trembled as she whispered, "Let's go, babe, let's go." They both hurried out of the hall, their footsteps quick and shaky, making their way to the car. As they reached the safety of the vehicle, Elena’s hands trembled while she fumbled to put it in gear. Tears stung her eyes, but she fought them back, trying to stay composed for Alexander's sake.Inside the car, food

The news of the arrival of the Vortex Empire to New York immediately caused havoc throughout the city, and every news channel was streaming it. Even in the room of the Valking Grandhouse, their eyes were glued to the TV as the newscaster reported the event.Alexander and Elena stood up, as Elena didn’t have the right to sit at the basic level unless given permission.After the news finished, Mr. Harington sighed, rubbing his temple in frustration. “That’s huge news. Even now, the market is shifting. We have to be on the safer side, and that means getting involved with the Vortex Company. Now that they're new here, they’ll offer opportunities for companies to invest in them. You all know what profits could come from that,” he said, a hint of urgency in his tone.They all nodded, though some glanced at each other nervously.“So, we have to become one of their investors, which will be very difficult. I want someone from this family who is bold, smart, and intelligent enough to secure t

Elena gently held Alexander’s hand and whispered, her voice trembling, “You don’t have to do this. I’m okay like this. You can’t face the Quinn family... you don’t know anything about them. They kill like it’s nothing!"Alexander put on a wry smile, squeezing her hand reassuringly. “It’s okay, babe. Just have faith in me, and I’ll do it.”Jackson burst into laughter, his booming voice filling the room. “Faith in you? Do you even have faith in yourself? This isn’t some fairy tale, you idiot. This is real life! You can’t confront the Quinn family. They’ll squash you.”Maya added coldly, “He must have a death wish. Seriously, this is pathetic.”Mr. Harington, observing the exchange with a smug look, nodded. The debt had been a thorn in his side for years, but he never expected anyone to dare challenge the Quinns. “Alright. If you can collect that debt from the Quinn family, then Elena will be elevated to the notable level. Both of you will."Alexander nodded firmly, determination etched
