Alexander casually took out his phone, sent a message to Eleanor, and then headed to the spa.Today, he needed to quickly check on the shop he had inadvertently purchased to see how it was running.Back with Eleanor, while she was listening to Peyton talk, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Alexander, and the content was simple: "Eleanor, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the partnership with the Welsh Max Group for you. The contract will be delivered soon. As for Peyton, don’t trust him too much."Alexander handling it?Eleanor frowned, glancing out the window, feeling somewhat skeptical.She then laughed at herself, thinking, What could Alexander possibly handle? He's probably just trying to comfort me.Moreover, how could the contract with the Welsh Max Group be delivered so quickly?Of course, Peyton, sitting beside her, noticed the scene. He glanced at the message content and sneered: “Is that a message from Alexander? Let me see what he says. Oh, he claims he can ha

Eleanor hesitated for a moment, lost in thought, before reluctantly agreeing: “Uh, okay."She was anxious but found it hard to express, especially since they were already there.There was no other choice; she had to go along with it.Alexander stood behind her, noticing her hesitation, and shook his head with a faint smile. He softly said: “Let's go inside. Don’t worry, when it’s time to pay, I’ll take care of it."Eleanor turned around, her face full of doubt, staring intently at Alexander as she whispered: “You’ll take care of it? How? This is Iron Lions; it’ll cost at least hundreds of thousands!"She also felt frustrated with herself for not clarifying earlier. Now, they were about to spend a huge amount of money.But what frustrated Eleanor even more was Alexander.Even now, he was in the mood to joke with her.Couldn't he see how anxious she was?"Do you trust me?"Alexander suddenly took hold of Eleanor's soft, delicate hand. The warmth of his palm calmed her anxious heart.Ele

“Eleanor, I can…”Alexander barely started to explain, but his mother-in-law’s loud voice cut him off.Valeria’s face was flushed with anger, her finger nearly poking Alexander’s nose as she scolded: “What can you do? You worthless piece of trash! You’ve embarrassed us all! Either sit there quietly and wait for dinner, or get out! You’re just an in-law living off the Marshall family, a freeloader—what right do you have to make decisions here? Are you the one paying for the upgrade?”Valeria’s harsh words, laced with disdain, struck at Alexander’s pride. She truly looked down on him, seeing him as nothing more than a poor, powerless man.Alexander clenched his fists, his face darkening with a cold resolve. Everyone saw him as worthless, but little did they know…He was the Young Master of the Dragon Sect, the future Dragon Master!With a single word, he could buy not just a room upgrade but the entire restaurant!Peyton, sitting nearby, couldn’t hide his mocking grin. Alexander was tru

Eleanor sighed and ordered a few dishes, also helping to pick some for Alexander.Before long, a team of specially trained servers dressed in formal attire began to bring in the dishes one by one.These were the imperial dishes of Iron Lions!A dozen servers lined up, each holding trays covered with stainless steel lids, containing delicious and tempting dishes, as they entered the private room in an orderly manner.As the lids were lifted, a mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making everyone swallow in anticipation.Valeria was extremely excited, repeatedly praising: “Peyton, we’re so lucky to have you. I really don’t know how to thank you enough."Then she glanced disdainfully at Alexander, sitting quietly, and scolded: “Look at someone else here, utterly useless. He’ll probably never be able to take us to a place like this in his lifetime. Eleanor, you should stay close to someone as outstanding as Peyton, got it?"Eleanor softly acknowledged her mother and smiled faintly.Alexan

Instead, it was Laurie who was holding her cheek, stunned for a long moment before reacting, and then furiously yelling at Boris: “You dare hit me? You hit me over some penniless loser?"Boris’s eyes were icy as he shouted: “If you step into our restaurant, you're a guest of mine. I don’t care who you are—if you cause trouble here, I won’t let it slide! Guards, throw them out!"Immediately, several security guards rushed over, grabbed the shouting Laurie, and escorted her out.The other wealthy young people quickly followed her out.Laurie got up from the ground, her backside aching from the fall.She stood up and cursed until her voice was hoarse: “Boris, you’re done for! I’m the third daughter of the Marshall family! A small-time manager like you dares to do this to me? I’ll have people tear down your shabby restaurant!"After yelling, Laurie tried to charge forward again, but the patrons at a nearby table held her back.The handsome young man from earlier pulled Laurie aside and sh
