Alexis slowly opened his eyes. A sharp, unbearable pain seized his head.

"Where am I? What happened? Why does my head hurt so much?" Alexis wondered, finding himself lying in an unfamiliar room.

He was shocked to find a woman lying next to him, completely naked.

“Mikaela?!” Alexis sat up suddenly.

“How could she be lying next to me? Did we—” He quickly shook his head. ‘No! There’s no way I slept with her!’

Mikaela shifted slightly before waking up to the sound of Alexis's loud exclamation. "You're so noisy, idiot—" she suddenly sat up when she recognized his voice.

"What the hell are you doing in my room? What did you do to me?!" Mikaela covered her naked body with the blanket.

"Don't misunderstand! I didn’t rape you! I don’t even remember how we ended up in this room—"

SLAP!

“Liar!” Mikaela yelled, tears streaming down her face. “Is this how you get your revenge on me?!”

“I’m not some bastard!” Alexis defended himself. “I hate you and your family, but I would never use such dirty methods for revenge!”

Crash!

Alexis and Mikaela both turned toward the door as several people walked in, shocked expressions on their faces.

"Mom? Dad?" Mikaela gasped, her body trembling.

"My God!" Zelda's tears flowed. "I can't believe the news is true! You slept with that bastard!"

"You slut!" Harold cursed. "Was there no other man, so you had to sleep with this bastard?!"

“You’re misunderstanding, Dad, Mom!” Mikaela interjected, panicking. "We didn’t do anything! Please, believe me!"

"Then why are you and Alexis naked?" Zelle sneered, grinning slyly. Now, Mikaela couldn’t deny it.

“I-I…” Mikaela stammered, struggling to explain.

Alexis dressed himself and looked at the family coldly. "Mikaela was almost raped by Wayne Greyson, but I tried to save her."

“I thought I’d believe your bullshit?!” Harold yelled. His chest heaved in anger. “The Greyson family is a respected family!”

“How dare you slander my son!” Morgan Greyson entered, escorted by several bodyguards.

"Mr. Greyson." Harold and the Cornell family were stunned. Had he also received the photos of Alexis and Mikaela alone in the room?

It left the Cornell family utterly embarrassed.

"Sorry for causing a mess in your hotel, Mr. Morgan Greyson." Harold smiled politely, hiding his shame.

"Are you Alexis?" Morgan stared at him sharply.

"Yes."

"I heard you punched my son until he passed out?" Morgan Greyson interrogated him.

"Yes." Alexis answered indifferently.

“What?!” The Cornell family was stunned. How could Alexis remain so calm after beating up the beloved son of the world’s second richest man?

Greyson Corp was feared by many companies, including Cornell Corp, because of its partnership with Morris Corp.

"Bastard." Morgan growled furiously. "I swear I’ll make you rot in prison after you punched and slandered my only son, accusing him of trying to rape Mikaela," he said firmly.

Mikaela remained silent, sobbing, too afraid to defend Alexis or explain Wayne Greyson’s despicable actions, even though Alexis had helped her. She feared facing the Greyson family’s wrath, as they were terrifying people who wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone who harmed their family.

Morgan Greyson glanced at his bodyguard, gave a signal, and then dragged Alexis to the car.

Alexis did not resist. His expression remained cold, showing no fear or guilt. He sat quietly in the seat, enjoying the view outside the window.

"This time, you’re finished, loser! You’ll rot in prison, because the Greyson family will never let you live peacefully after you’ve humiliated their family." Leonardo mocked.

"You're wrong. Morgan Greyson will regret his actions." Alexis smirked.

Leonardo was annoyed because Alexis didn’t seem afraid of his threats.

"Why do you look so confident, huh? You’re nothing compared to Mr. Morgan. He’s incredibly rich and influential. It would take no effort at all for him to eliminate you!"

Alexis chose to stay silent, too lazy to engage with a talkative man like Leonardo.

Soon, Harold’s luxury car arrived at the police station. Morgan, Howard, and Harold handed Alexis over to the police on charges of rape. Two officers immediately handcuffed him and threw him into a cell without allowing him to provide his side of the story.

"Sorry, Morgan Greyson." Howard and Harold apologized.

"You don’t need to apologize." Morgan Greyson smiled warmly. "You’re not at fault. After all, the Cornell family will soon become part of the Morris family. Simson Morris and his family are my masters. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Especially you, Howard."

Howard immediately lifted his chin with confidence. "I’m flattered. It’s true, my daughter and Vincenzo will soon marry. He promised to invest heavily in Cornell Corp."

"It seems I’ll be replaced by you, Mr. Howard." 

Morgan Greyson and Howard chuckled.

Angrily, Harold immediately went home. Not only were his plans ruined, but his family’s reputation was tarnished. This scandal would cause everyone to mock him.

When he entered, he found Zilda scolding their daughter fiercely, while Zelle, Lenora, Adam, and Helen were simply watching, smirking.

SLAP!

Mikaela couldn’t hold back her tears as Harold slapped her.

"You’re an embarrassing, useless child! How could you sleep with that bastard?!"

“You’re wrong, Dad! Wayne Greyson tried to rape me, but Alexis came to my rescue. I’m sure he’s framing us for revenge!” Mikaela sobbed.

"How dare you defend that bastard in front of me after he humiliated us in front of the Greyson family!" Harold shouted. "You’d be better off being raped by Wayne Greyson than being slept with by a liar!"

“How could you say that to me, Daddy?!”

“Now get out of here! I don’t want to consider you my daughter anymore!”

Mikaela shocked. "You’re kicking me out?!" She was his only daughter, always pampered and loved.

"Are you deaf?!"

"Mom?" Mikaela pleaded.

Zilda remained silent, powerless against her husband’s decision.

Zelle secretly smirked in her heart. Finally, Mikaela would feel the suffering she endured when she was still Alexis’s wife. Every day, her parents would scold her, and she had to endure the shame in front of friends and colleagues.

Fortunately, her mother had accidentally overheard the devious plan from Harold’s family to take her place as Vincenzo’s fiancée and the CEO. It just so happened that Howard was at the Sundown club.

Zelle wouldn’t let anyone thwart her plans to marry Vincenzo because she had sacrificed so much to get close to him. She wouldn’t hesitate to get her revenge in the most painful way.
