"What do you think you’re doing?! I’m Arthur Washington! I can shut down the Marshall family’s business in minutes. If you don’t want to be out on the streets with your wife and kids, you’d better kneel and beg for my forgiveness right now!" Arthur yelled, trying to intimidate Alexander and make him back off.But none of this fazed Alexander. A single phone call from him could have Arthur kneeling in minutes.However, what Alexander wanted now was to vent his anger, to thoroughly beat Arthur down and avenge Eleanor."I warned you yesterday, but it seems you didn’t take my words seriously.""Take your threats and shove them! You think a worthless freeloader like you can scare me? I, Arthur Washington, am not easily frightened. You... you better not come any closer. Someone, stop him!" Arthur shouted in panic, hiding behind Presidents Lopez, Jake, and Reynolds, using them as human shields.Chairman Lopez, Chairman Jake, and Chairman Reynolds were all extremely anxious, but at this moment

On the way back, Rodger drove in frustration, his mood utterly deflated.Valeria felt a fire simmering inside her.She glanced at Alexander, who was sitting in the back, through the rearview mirror, and that fire flared up intensely.“Useless trash, what were you thinking fighting with Chairman Washington? Even if you went to rescue Eleanor, you didn’t need to hit him! You could’ve just walked in and taken her away. What was all that showing off for? Do you really think you’re someone important?”“Mom, don’t speak to him like that.” Eleanor defended him, a little indignant.“You be quiet.” Valeria scolded her before continuing to berate Alexander: “Was your brain kicked by a donkey? You think fighting will make people notice you? Do you think being able to fight means you're not useless? Fighting without thinking is just a sign of stupidity!”“If you hadn’t hit Chairman Washington, would our family have been blacklisted? If we weren’t blacklisted, would we have been humiliated in fron

Ten minutes had passed.Arthur, furious, shouted: “You moron! You said it’s time. Make us bankrupt! Go on! Do it!”“Chairman Washington, don’t bother with this idiot. How could he possibly bankrupt us? If he could, he wouldn’t be leeching off the Marshall family like a servant. Look at him, pretending to be someone important. He’s asking to be beaten!” Chairman Lopez said, flattering Arthur.After Alexander declared that the time had come, he lifted his foot off Arthur, eager to see their reaction when they learned their impending doom.Chairman Jake took out a tissue, wiping the blood from Arthur’s face. Coldly, he said: “Chairman Washington, I think we should call for backup. Tonight's events need a proper resolution. This arrogant fool needs to be taught a lesson, and we should break all his limbs.”“Just his limbs? That's not enough! We should make sure he can't ever get up again. Then that woman Eleanor will be yours, Chairman Washington. Young widows are the best... Damn it, who

Alexander took a cab home, and as soon as he walked through the door, he was met with Valeria’s scolding:"Why are you back, you worthless piece of trash? Didn't I tell you to just die out there? Why didn't you? It's all your fault, bringing disaster upon us! You shamelessly spoke nonsense in front of the old man—I was embarrassed for you. You good-for-nothing, you’re only good at talking, you can’t do anything right, you’re just a piece of garbage!""What if President Washington and the others don’t give us a way out? If the family business goes bankrupt—why don’t you think before you speak or act! You’re going to be the death of me!"Eleanor heard the shouting and quickly came out of her room.When she reached the living room and saw Valeria sitting on the sofa, she hurried over to Alexander, pulling him by the hand: "Come with me to our room.""Eleanor, why are you holding onto that guy? As long as he stays, disaster will follow. He's caused such a huge mess this time; why haven’t y

“Cough.” Arthur awkwardly cleared his throat and bowed his head, saying: “Miss Eleanor, are you satisfied with our apology? “There’s nothing unsatisfactory. You can leave now.” Eleanor held her head in her hands, too angry to say more. All she could think about were the words of Laurie and Tommy echoing in her mind.Arthur was overjoyed: “All the wrongs I’ve done before, I will correct. From now on, all our business dealings will follow Miss Eleanor's direction. If you need anything, just say the word. We won’t trouble you any longer, we’ll take our leave now.”Arthur and his group left, their departure leaving the Marshall family utterly stunned. The situation had resolved just like that, while they had been worried sick for so long. The thoughts running through Mr. Marshall's and the others’ minds were the same, and they all breathed a collective sigh of relief.“Eleanor, do you really have a connection with that big shot Reynolds?” Mr. Marshall asked.“No, I don’t even know who th
