*****A middle-aged man and an elderly man were observed sitting uneasily in an office, with an obvious eagerness written all over their faces at the moment.The middle-aged man was spotted fidgeting with himself, while the old man's face was fully crimson."Remember what I told you before. You are to kneel down to thank Miss Rebbeca for her favor upon our family as soon as she enters. You hear?""Yes, Father."When the middle-aged guy heard his father's command, he responded with enthusiasm.Someone who doesn't hear well would believe that what his father told him to do was something of which he should be proud. well—at least, that's how he feels."I can't wait for the day our family succeeds in signing this collaboration since it will immediately raise our level and make us a first-rated family."The elderly man's breathing quickened as he said these words to himself while his son hastily nodded his head."Father, I'm impatient too. The idea that our family, the Sotto family, would t
*****"The task is completed, Sir President."Like a secretary reporting to her boss, the director reported to Alex after returning to him.“Hmm.”Without looking up, Alex nodded his head, his attention not leaving the screen in front of him.It was only after a while that he finally lifted his head to look, only to see Rebecca still standing where she had been, reporting to him just now.Smiling wryly, Alex motioned for her to take a seat.“Thank you, Sir President.”Alex nodded a little, and Rebecca took a seat respectfully, not feeling the least bit offended by the way she was disregarded.“Please, could you tell me everything you know about this company and my family? Most of the things on the internet seemed to be fabricated.”“Huh?”When Rebecca heard Alex's inquiry, her head arched slightly and her mouth opened wide, giving off a very amusing appearance.'Who, between me and him, ought to be more knowledgeable about those things?' She thought about it in her head, but as soon as
*****Back inside the Crest Conglomerate headquarters, in the president's officeRebecca could still be observed talking with her eyes gleaming brilliantly, and she appeared to be completely immersed in her narration right now, while AlexAlthough he wasn't as amazed as Rebecca, he couldn't hide the slight shock he felt after hearing her story."So... Godfather was the one who single-handedly altered the country’s situation.’‘Wow!’He kept on listening intently when suddenly; the phone on the desk began to ring again, startling the two of them.Due to his concentration on the story he was hearing, Alex's expression briefly changed to one of displeasure. However, it quickly went back to normal, and then he motioned for Rebecca to answer the phone.Rebecca stepped up to answer the call after bowing politely to Alex. But as soon as she heard what the caller had to say, her face twitched slightly, and she put the phone back in its rightful place before turning to face Alex again."Sir, P
***** Alex listened to Rebecca's story for another hour, unaware that Cliff was still kneeling outside the company's building and causing a scene. Poor Cliff Sotto. Although he had nearly passed out from the excruciating pain he was in time and time again, he dared not get up from where he was kneeling.……Back in the President’s office, Rebecca finally finished her tale after a long time had passed, and Alex was still busy savoring it.After appearing momentarily lost, Alex finally sighed and returned to his senses."I've already occupied far too much of your time; I should get going."Rebecca sprang to her feet and bowed to Alex as soon as she heard this. "No... no, sir. My time, along with myself, is meant for you, Sir President."“Hun!”An awkward expression instantly appeared on Alex’s face when he heard Rebecca, and then he glanced at her face.But upon realizing that it was still straight, clearly meaning nothing as dirty as he had thought, Alex smiled with embarrassment. ‘O
*****When Alex heard the old man's question, a smile of understanding formed on his face, then he bent his head slightly to look at Cliff.His face immediately developed a little grin before he turned to face the old guy again, his face becoming expressionless once more."Yes, the President first intended to leave, but he changed his mind when he learned that there were some stalkers outside."Even before Alex finished what he was saying, the eyes of the trio—Cliff Sotto, his father, and grandfather—had already widened."Stal... stalker?The elderly man's face turned completely pale before he abruptly sent a chilling, deadly intent at Alex."Was that really what the President said, or something you came up with?" He yelled at Alex in a threatening tone.Who is Alex now, though? Someone who has the capability of destroying the old man with just a single breath, therefore, wasn't affected by his threat or tone at all.Well, that doesn't mean he wasn't offended, though, since he was awar
*****Hearing the tug’s words, Alex glanced coldly at him for a moment, then ignored him and looked at the remaining ones one after the other.After a second, he saw them ignore him as if they couldn't be bothered with him, and then their gazes filled to the brim with hunger and greediness turned toward the lady whose head was still completely bent, looking very nervous.Immediately he saw all this, Alex's heart went cold, and he began to wonder how such an innocent lady could be taken advantage of.“Brat! Are you deaf or what? Why don't you get going now if you have no business here?"One of the bullies whose irritated gaze hadn't left Alex yelled angrily, clearly unhappy that Alex was delaying their urgent mission.When Alex heard this, he finally returned to his senses and grinned coldly.'Perhaps I wouldn't have gotten involved if I were weak, but now that I have the strength and capability to get involved, wouldn't I become worse than them if I did nothing to assist the individual
*****Never had Alex expected to see what he was currently seeing, so his mouth became wide open with shock as he and Jewel stared at each other.After a time, Jewel returned to her senses and felt apprehensive, then she took several steps back while burying her face behind her palms.When he saw this, Alex also returned to his senses, but it was a humorous smile that emerged on his face, while he was filled with questions within himself.'Wasn't it claimed that the Class President came from a wealthy family?' 'What's she doing in a location where she is being molested?'Alex took in a deep breath, then finally turned to the tugs, who were still howling as if their a$$es were on fire.Looking at them, Alex noticed that they were all attempting to rise with menacing expressions on their faces, so he crossed his arms on his chest and let them stand up, but the next second, he felt someone tugging his shirt nervously from behind."Le... let's go already!"Alex heard an anxious voice full
*****Alex had a puzzled expression on his face as he marched silently alongside his class President.He couldn't help but think back to what he just heard from her, which made him even more bewildered as to how such things could be happening.According to his Class President's statements, which she wouldn't have told him if it hadn't been for what Alex did for her tonight,She told him about the already known knowledge about her family, and then she told Alex about what actually drove her to do what she did tonight: becoming drunk.According to her words, her family was always filled with competition, and to her misfortune, her immediate family was one of the ones that don't get the support of the family leader.She stated that when her grandfather was still alive, her immediate family was the most adored, but immediately he died and her grandmother took control of the family, she began to show her uncle and his family the greatest favoritism and support.Well... she said that wasn't
