Eleanor’s lips curved into a small smile, the weight in her heart finally lifting. Alexander had managed to prove himself, just once. Seeing Eleanor smile, Alexander smiled too. As long as Eleanor was happy, so was he. Laurie glared at Alexander, feeling her face burn with embarrassment. The words and actions she had just done seemed to turn into slaps, landing squarely on her face. This wretched, poor loser made her lose face in front of everyone! If she ever got the chance again, she swore she’d crush him underfoot! Tommy hung his head, his body shr

Right now, Phineas felt as though he was being boiled alive by the presence of Chairman Phillips. If this torment continued any longer, he feared he might cough up blood. His spine, once upright, had bent into a full bow, his pride completely crushed. All that was left of Phineas was humility.Bent over like a shrimp, Phineas said with deep reverence: “I didn’t realize Chairman Phillips needed the room, and we misunderstood earlier. If we had known, we would have given it up right away. Please forgive us, Chairman Phillips. It would be our great honor to vacate the room for you."At that moment, Phineas had thrown away all his dignity and pride. As long as he could leave the room unharmed, he didn’t care about anything else.“Hmph.”Remington stood with his hands behind his back, belly protruding, exuding arrogance as he let out a long, dissatisfied huff.Seeing Remington’s displeasure, Phineas panicked immediately.Bowen, standing to the side, had a menacing look in his eyes, like a

After reaching this conclusion, they all immediately felt that Remington was just a man of high moral character.

If one of them had been the first to stand up and speak frankly, they'd be the one in the spotlight now, instead of letting this useless Alexander steal all the glory!"Chairman Phillips is truly a good man. Who would've thought that not only is he reasonable, but he also knows right from wrong? We really misjudged him before.""That's right. People often say it's easy to meet the King of Hell, but it's the little demons who are hard to deal with. That Bowen guy is the real problem. If we had just reasoned with Chairman Phillips, things wouldn't have gotten so tense.""Some people just happen to succeed out of sheer luck. Don't think that doing this makes you any more respectable.

Although Rodger was furious, seeing how eagerly Alexander was eating, he could only swallow his anger.Boris had already laid out the feast, and it couldn’t be sent back now. Not eating would only embarrass Boris, so whether or not there was something off about this meal, they had to eat: “Eat up, eat up. Since Director Vega sent it over, let's enjoy it. A famous person like Director Vega wouldn’t poison us. Afterward, Alexander can stay behind to handle the remaining formalities. After all, it’s all a gift for him."Rodger washed his hands of any responsibility, placing it all on Alexander. Whatever happened, it would be Alexander who would suffer. Seeing how Alexander devoured the food, the others, with their stomachs growling, also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.Phineas was the fastest eater, channeling his anger into his appetite. He thought: 'If I don’t eat this free meal, it would be a waste. Face is already lost, so I might as well eat more to make up for it, bu
