She became dumbstruck at his words. Brother-in-law? Was this a joke? How was this even possible? Oh, or maybe she just heard something different…. Yeah, maybe.Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Alex holding her purse. She frowned, why the heck was he still holding it?Alex, who was holding the purse, checked the tag and saw that it was a Louis Vuitton purse worth close to 4000$. But that didn't concern him at all.His hands went into his pocket and brought out a lighter, swirling it in his hands. "Do you know what a lighter does, Vivian?"Knowing what he was planning, her eyes rounded into balls. "No! Don't!" She couldn't lose her 4000$ purse she paid through the nose for!But within a second, Alex ignited the lighter and placed it dangerously close to the purse."Alex! Don't dare! Alex, Alex!!!" Vivian kept screaming, but Alex had already set the purse on fire, throwing it far away."Shittt!!! My LV purse!!!" She clenched her fists, hurrying to put out the fire, but Alex pla
Bullets and more bullets kept flying into his car's windscreen and windows, and Alex bent his head to prevent penetration. What was the meaning of this? Who'd sent them? After a long while, the bullets got exhausted and they stopped shooting. However, they heard no sound from Alex's car. The leader, with a frown, walked to the car to check if Alex was still alive.He peered through the window but could not see anything. So, he knocked on the window, but still no response. His lips suddenly widened into a hearty grin. "Haha! Boss, it looks like he's dead already!" He shouted into the airpod.The other men also began to grin and laugh, revelling in their success.However, a thick voice responded over the airpod. "Confirm again and bring him to me." "Okay, boss," the leader said and tried to open the car door but it wasn't opening. He forced it open with all his might but it still wasn't opening. So, he decided the only way in was to punch through the car window with his fists.With all
Alex arrived at the estate manager's company, parking his car in the lot. He came down and saw a bold inscription of De Silva real estate atop the building. He smoothened his suit and began to walk into the company when suddenly, he felt water being splashed at him."What the...!" He sidestepped and turned to where the water came from. There, he saw an old man watering some plants by the entrance. The old man threw a glance at Alex and looked away, not bothering to apologize for splashing water. Alex couldn't believe it and scoffed. He decided to just ignore him and continued walking.However, the old man looked at Alex's expensive suit and watch and sneered. "Young people these days really think they can afford anything. It's all flash and no cash!" "Sorry?" Alex furrowed, taking a step back while looking at the old man.The old man flared his nostrils, eyeing Alex. "What? You think I'm wrong? You want to come beat me up?" He shook his head and turned away. "Hmm, these 21st centur
"Hold it, was that a prank call?" Marcus shouted, as the other agents nodded in agreement. "Alex, give it up already and stop fooling yourself. We won't take this lightly with you. Enough is enough!" Suddenly, a wealthy middle-aged man with two bodyguards dressed in suits entered the building. He wore a Rolex wristwatch and was none other than James, the owner of the company. Everyone in the company began to bow their heads in respect as James looked around, like he was searching for someone. Everybody began to greet him loudly, even Marcus left his position and bowed his head. But James paid no attention, still scanning the place. When his eyes landed on his target, "The Great Master!" James boomed loudly, bowing his head in reverence."Huh?!!" Gasps and murmurs of "Goodness!!" and "oh my!" rippled through the watching employees.Pens and paper dropped from petrified fingers. Mouths gaped open in astonishment as stunned workers gawked at the unexpected sight of their boss bowing
The goons cracked their necks and knuckles, ready to give Alex a good beating. He seemed to be a spoilt rich kid who knew nothing about fighting or living on the streets.So, the one that was holding the girl hurriedly charged at him and threw a punch at his nose. Alex stumbled back a bit, but just merely wiped the blood off his nose.The girl gasped in tremor, and quickly searched herself for her handkerchief. She started wiping off the blood stains from Alex's nose. "Sir, sir, you need to leave now! The goons might hurt you!" The lady exclaimed, still wiping the blood off.Seeing her display of affection for Alex made the goon start to snicker loudly in mockery. "Hey, are you kidding me right now? Does this look like a tender moment to you? Come here, you whore!"They began to drag her roughly, taking her away. They laughed, "Haha, you're so funny, you were really asking a spoilt kid to help...."The words hung in the goon's mouth as he suddenly felt himself being thrown to the grou
He never noticed she was the one right before him. He felt that the only person Argent would send was Vivian and was only focused on giving Vivian the worst treatment of her life. Harley's surprised gaze traveled down Alex, surprised tht he was the president.She inched closer to him to clear her curiosity, asking innocently. "Alex, are you the president of this company?" She then gasped, "And you allowed me disrespect you last night?" Caught off guard, Alex found himself at a loss for words. He observed the shock on Harley's face, running his hands through his hair in confusion. His mind suddenly clicked. He swiftly turned his attention to Barney, signaling him to say something.Understanding what Alex meant, Barney nodded in understanding. Barney suddenly released a wide smile and gestured towards a seat, "Please take a seat. He is my assistant." He said.Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like giving Barney a kiss at that moment. He didn't want to risk revealing his identit
"Huh?" Barney raised one of his brows. "No, I was just saying, not like I have any idea who it is. But Master, I think you should be very careful henceforth," he added."Of course, and it will be starting today. Rockson, arrange for six of the guards to follow me!" Alex said. "Yes boss!" Rockson responded and left to carry out his orders.Alex left for the penthouse and changed into a casual fit to go and see Harley. He also took a car that was not too catchy but still pricey to avoid drawing too much attention. The enemy might be watching his move, right?Harley had texted him that the place there were to meet was Upwest restaurant.After he arrived at the restaurant, he surveyed the interior of the building. While the layout and design were similar to that of Hypernova Restaurant, the one owned by Edmundo, Upwest lacked Hypernova's style and space.He told the guards with him to wait outside till he was through then entered inside, and checked everywhere to see where Harley was. Af
Vivian looked up at Alex with burning fury in her eyes. Her hands itched to give him a slap that instant, but she controlled herself. What the hell did he think he was???She looked around, and luckily for her, only a few people recorded. But hold on, can't these Texas people do without recording embarrassing scenes????Lord, she hated embarrassment! Even though her legs were hurting badly, she stood up and expected Alex to give her an apology. After all, Alex was a guy who never liked to hurt a woman. But Alex stood there, not even giving her a look. To him, he was only protecting Harley from her dubious step sister. She then shifted her gaze to Harley, who was overwhelmed with everything happening. When she noticed how Alex had made her embrace him, she withdrew herself quickly. "Wow, it all makes sense to me now. You bunch of idiots, especially you, Alex. You dare to push me, huh? Just to save your sugar mommy, right?" Vivian bellowed with deep rage burning within her, while Al
