The scar-faced man flattered: “Young Master, you really know how to have fun. Should I pour you another drink?"“Of course, fill it up.” Scarface grabbed the bottle and topped off Rafael’s glass.“Eleanor, last time I asked you out, but you refused. Now, I’m asking if you’ll obediently drink with me. Will you comply? If not, your trash of a husband will suffer greatly. Think it over and answer me.”"Young Master Silva, it's all my fault. Take it out on me, but don't make things hard for Eleanor!" Alexander’s eyes were bloodshot as he growled at Rafael in rage.Rafael hurled the glass toward Alexander, the liquid spraying through the air and splashing across his face.The glass missed its mark, shattering into pieces beside Alexander.“Did I give you permission to speak? You worthless leech, how dare you raise your voice at me? Who gave you that courage?”“It seems just having you kneel isn’t enough. You still don’t understand my power, so I’ll have to show you.”Scarface raised an eye

Meanwhile, at the Golden Harbor International Hospital. Rafael lay on the hospital bed, his limbs immobilized by surgery. He faced a long recovery, possibly months. Due to significant blood loss, Rafael was also at risk of complications, but surviving was already a blessing. “How’s the boy doing, doctor?” Liam Silva stood at the doorway, his face dark with concern. “Thanks to the timely arrival, we managed to save his life. However, the extensive blood loss and limb injuries might leave lasting effects. He shouldn’t engage in heavy a

Joshua, however, felt increasingly irritated. All he wanted was to stay on Alexander’s good side, but these foolish second-generation heirs were making matters worse. If Alexander became angry, not even the highest status Joshua could attain would be enough to appease him."Who started all this?" Joshua asked coldly, his voice simmering with anger.Phineas, oblivious to the danger, quickly nodded and said: “It was me! I was the one who caught him and questioned him."Smack!Joshua slapped Phineas across the face so hard that he spun on the spot, stunned. Holding his cheek, Phineas looked at Joshua in disbelief.Nash and Pablo, equally confused, wondered why Joshua had struck Phineas."Did you two also get involved?" Joshua asked ominously.Their blood ran cold. Though they didn’t know why, they could sense that they were in serious trouble."It was all Phineas! He led us into it. We never wanted to get involved.” they stammered in unison."Yes, we even tried to stop him! We believe it

After winning the auction for the jade necklace with a vibrant green hue, Alexander returned home, his heart filled with excitement and joy.As soon as he walked through the door, he heard lively voices coming from the living room. It seemed there were guests at home.Alexander walked into the living room and saw a middle-aged woman sitting next to Valeria, bearing a strong resemblance to her.“Aren’t you going to come over and say hello? What are you standing there like a piece of wood for? This is Eleanor’s second aunt, you should call her Auntie,” Valeria snapped angrily, glaring at Alexander.Valeria’s family from Golden Harbor was a small but respectable clan. Back in the day, old Mr. Jones had used his influence to build the Jones family, and now they were considered a third-tier family in Golden Harbor.In Valeria’s generation, the Jones family had two sons and two daughters. Valeria was the youngest, with an older brother, an older sister, and another brother. The guest today

Selah walked up to the entrance of the Jones family’s house and laughed: “Second Young Master Lucas Jones of elder uncle’s house, Steve Jones from third uncle’s house, and Reese Jones from third uncle’s family—why don’t I see Elder Young Master Vernon Jones of elder uncle’s house? Don’t tell me he’s playing the role of the heir again!”Sammy Rhodes standing beside Selah, chuckled and said: “We juniors should head over there too. Shouldn’t we help with greeting some guests as well?”It was Mr. Jones’s seventieth birthday celebration, and relatives, friends, and many guests from near and far were arriving to pay their respects. As Mr. Jones’s grandchildren, it was only right for them to help receive the guests.However, since Selah and Eleanor were granddaughters from the maternal side, they weren’t strictly required to greet guests. Selah, aware that Lucas and Steve both looked down on Alexander, seemed eager to witness someone mock him.“Eleanor, why don’t we go together? It’s our gra
