In the conference room of Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals, Marshall family company...

At this moment, the Marshall family patriarch was seated at the head of the table, with the family butler standing beside him.

“Grandpa, the company’s recent performance has dropped significantly. I’ve reviewed the situation, and it’s clear that Eleanor’s marketing department has serious issues. It’s been three months without any major orders. She can’t avoid responsibility for this.” Tommy said directly, a cold smile on his lips as he stared at Eleanor.

“Haha, I think some people just aren’t capable of handling their positions. They might as well resign and go home to take care of their kids, instead of being a burden to Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals.”

Laurie sitting below, shot a contemptuous glance at Eleanor before admiring her own nails.

Tommy then stood up and walked over to Eleanor, touching her delicate shoulder as he said: “Eleanor, if I were you, I would have resigned long ago. Your marketing depar

    Once they had left, the room erupted in chatter."Eleanor really doesn't know her limits, thinking she can secure a partnership with Star Bridge. She might as well prepare to resign.""Haha, isn't it that useless Alexander egging her on? What a good husband.""A loser is still a loser, thinking he has some ability. I can't wait to see how he helps Eleanor get that contract."Mr. Marshall's face darkened as he tapped his cane and said: “Alright, meeting adjourned."Meanwhile, Eleanor and Alexander had just returned home.Valeria Jones, Eleanor's mother, suddenly rushed over and slapped Alexander across the face, shouting: “You useless fool! Why did you go to the company today? How could you let Eleanor agree to that bet with Tommy? Do you even realize what you've done? You've pushed Eleanor into a pit of fire!"Alexander stood stunned, just about to open his mouth to explain when Valeria continued shouting: “Get out of my sight!"With no choice, Alexander went into the kitchen to clean

    Soon, Alexander appeared in the large and luxurious office.Blaine Welsh raised an eyebrow as he looked at Alexander and politely asked: “May I know what brings you to see me?"The young man in front of him seemed ordinary; how could he have caused the headquarters to personally call him?"Chairman Welsh, there’s no need for formalities. I’m here to ask for a favour from your group.” Alexander said, getting straight to the point.Blaine set down the gold-plated fountain pen in his hand, surprised: “Oh? What kind of favor?""I’ve heard that Star Bridge is looking for a pharmaceutical company to partner with in Golden Harbor. I hope Star Bridge will choose Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals, and the person in charge will be Eleanor Marshall.” Alexander calmly stated, his expression indifferent.Blaine frowned, his expression turning somewhat displeased: “May I ask who you are and why you want to help the Marshall family? As far as I know, Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals is just a second-tier company

    As soon as he connected the call, Adrian’s furious voice blasted through the line: "Blaine, do you have any idea what kind of foolish thing you’ve done?""Uncle, what happened?" Blaine was taken aback, his whole body tensing up. The founder of Star Bridge Group, his uncle, was suddenly this enraged? It was something he had never witnessed before."Do you even need to ask? I’m asking you right now, is Young Master Reynolds standing in front of you?" Adrian demanded coldly.Blaine's heart skipped a beat. Young Master Reynolds? He glanced up at Alexander, who stood calmly with his hands behind his back. Could it be him?"Yes, yes." Blaine quickly responded.Adrian's voice was filled with anger: "You apologize to Young Master Reynolds immediately! And another thing, all matters of cooperation at the Golden Harbor branch will follow his instructions. If he tells you to work with someone, you work with them. Do you understand?"Blaine was utterly confused. What on earth was happening? What

    Alexander was slightly taken aback, his face showing a hint of helplessness: "Mom, I know. I will... just wait a little longer."Mrs. Reynolds wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodding.She knew her son had a hard time, and she didn't want to burden him further.At that moment, a few thugs came over and kicked over the stove.The customers having breakfast quickly scattered."Well, well, Alexander, I didn't expect to see you here today."The young man leading the group had a sinister smile, his hands in his pockets, looking arrogant.Alexander stepped in front of his mother, his face cold as he stared at the young man: "Tommy, what do you want?"Alexander's eyes seemed ready to burst. Before him stood none other than Tommy Marshall.Tommy's face was filled with a mocking smile, his eyebrows raised, looking down his nose, acting brazenly: "Oh, Alexander, you're getting bold, talking to me like that?"Smack!Tommy kicked Alexander square in the chest.Alexander staggered bac

    Meanwhile, Eleanor looked at the shameful clothes thrown in the trash, her whole body collapsing onto the sofa, her delicate hand clenched tightly into a fist.Disgusting, all of them are scum.Moments later, Laurie walked into Tommy’s office, her face full of a sinister smile.“Tommy, I’ve told her everything. If Eleanor dares to go, she’s finished." Laurie sneered.Tommy flirting with his female assistant, paid no mind to Laurie’s presence. His face lit up with a conspiratorial grin as he exclaimed: "Good, very good. This time, we’ll make sure that slut Eleanor is utterly ruined, becoming the shame of the Marshall family.”The two exchanged knowing smiles, their sinister laughter echoing in the office.The female assistant, still unclear about the situation, asked: "Mr. Marshall, what exactly is going on? What’s going to happen to Eleanor?”Tommy’s hands roamed over the assistant’s voluptuous body as he revealed his entire plan to her.After hearing it, the assistant’s eyes gleamed

    Half an hour later, Eleanor feeling embarrassed, left Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals in her underwear. Laurie’s car was already parked at the entrance.Without much thought, she got into the car.But to be on the safe side, she still sent a text message to Alexander.Laurie sitting inside and putting on makeup, glanced at Eleanor as she got in and asked: "Did you wear it?”Eleanor clutched her handbag, bit her red lip, and nodded.Laurie mumbled: "I thought you were so pure, turns out you’re just a woman who bows down for money.”Hearing this harsh remark, Eleanor wanted to get out of the car immediately.Laurie didn’t stop her but said: "If you get out now, the cooperation with Star Bridge Group will definitely not be in your hands.”In hesitation, Eleanor sat back.Laurie’s face was full of a sinister smile. She told the driver in front: "Drive to the Black Crow Club.”Eleanor, just keep pretending to be innocent!Now it's certain she’s ruined.At the Black Crow Club, in private room 88

    Less than ten minutes later, Wendy's Ferrari arrived at the entrance of Black Crow Club, attracting a crowd of onlookers.Black Crow Club was a notorious establishment in Golden Harbor, known for its mixed clientele of both legitimate and criminal backgrounds. The owner behind it was the infamous Shane Waters, one of the four underground kings of Golden Harbor.Shane Waters was a figure of power and ruthlessness, feared by many.Alexander was in a state of urgency as he stepped out of the car and headed straight for the club’s entrance.Two burly men, clearly security guards stood at the door, their muscular bodies radiating an intimidating presence that kept others at bay."Where do you think you’re going, kid? Who sent you here? Get lost!" one of the thugs barked, grabbing Alexander’s shoulder to shove him back.Sizing him up with a sneer, the thug immediately judged Alexander as trash, not worth his respect. People who frequented Black Crow Club were usually high-profile figures wh

    Alexander's expression was icy, his tone chilling, and his demeanor exuded an aura of sharp, lethal intent. His entire presence radiated a terrifying, murderous energy.Sophie involuntarily shuddered, stepping back two paces.Who was this man?How could someone exude such a horrifying aura? It was even more frightening than Mr. Waters!Moreover, this overwhelming force felt like it could crush anyone in its path. Was it just an illusion?Who exactly was this guy?Sophie quickly composed herself, her gaze turning cold as she scoffed: “Ms. Mark, this pretty boy you brought along seems rather impressive. Does he not realize this is Mr. Waters' territory?"Wendy smiled faintly.Shane Waters?So what?In the presence of Young Master Reynolds, everyone else might as well be ants. There's nothing to fear!Not even Shane. Even Mr. Thorne himself would show respect when facing Young Master Reynolds."Sophie, this is your final warning.

    Alexander rubbed his chin and said: “My mother-in-law wants the two of you to hit it off. Just pretend for now. Eleanor can take a few photos to prove she brought you two to meet. Why don’t you sit at the café across the street and chat? I have something to take care of. Once I’m done, we’ll have dinner together."Marvin scratched his head, not quite understanding Alexander’s intention. However, he decided not to dwell on it. Whatever Alexander said, he would just follow along. He just needed to keep his feelings for Nana in check."Alright, there’s a café across the street. Let’s go there. You go do your thing.” Marvin said straightforwardly.Eleanor handed Alexander the car keys and reminded him: “Be caref

    In the office, Laurie sat gloomily across from Walden and Tommy, recounting everything that had happened at last night's party.After hearing her words, Walden and Tommy's faces turned ashen, as if they had lost a loved one."How could Alexander be so powerful? Tome’s men are ruthless, bloodthirsty people. How could Alexander easily defeat them?"Walden couldn't understand this at all. No matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation."Laurie, what do you think about this?" Walden asked.Laurie raised her eyes and said: “The eldest son of the Mark family, Jeremy, who claims to be Alexander's subordinate, must be speaking the truth. Alexander is definitely not the useless man he appeared to be. He’s always been hiding his true self."Her words seemed to clear the fog, bursting in Walden and Tommy’s minds.Thinking over her words, neither of them wanted to accept the reality that Alexander was no ordinary man."Impossible, he's just a useless ma

    Eleanor furrowed her brow, feeling a slight pang of discomfort. Whether Nana was serious or joking, her words made Eleanor uneasy."Mom, don’t say that about Alexander all the time. Alexander is a good man. Don’t you see Nana thinks so too?""Hmph, that must be some trick Alexander used to charm Nana. That kind of trash is good at fooling women."Eleanor didn’t know what to say to Valeria, knowing that her opinion of Alexander was deeply ingrained. No matter how much she tried to explain, it would be pointless. She reluctantly chose to give up."I’m tired, I’m not talking to you anymore. Nana and I are going to our room.""Why are you in such a hurry? I really think Nana and Marvin would be a good match." Valeria refused to let it go."Cousin Marvin isn’t a good match for Nana, don’t think too much, Mom.""What’s not a good match? A piece of trash like Alexander could marry you, and cousin Marvin is handsome, successful, and definitely a good husband for Nana. Nana, could you arrange

    Eleanor patted her hand and reassured her: “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone kidnap you. Tonight, you’ll sleep with me, and Alexander will take the sofa.""Okay! Thank you, sister! But… making Alexander sleep on the couch seems a little harsh. Maybe I should sleep on the couch instead.” Nana offered sweetly."You can’t sleep on the sofa. Alexander’s thick-skinned and sturdy. The couch suits him perfectly."Alexander pulled a pained expression, but seeing Eleanor had already made up her mind, he didn’t argue. As long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.Alexander called Jeremy’s bodyguards over to take Jeremy and Atlas to the hospital. Then, he cast a glance at Tome’s lackeys huddled in a corner.The group squatted there, trembling as they stared at Alexander, forcing smiles that barely masked their terror."You’re incredible, Master Reynolds. We had eyes but failed to see. Please forgive us this time.""Yes! We’re sorry. It was all Laurie’s fault. If she hadn’t instigated

    "Mr. Mark is really something, seeing the situation and latching onto the right person. Now if we wanted to latch onto Alexander, we might not even be able to touch his toenails.""Damn, a lackey of a strong person like him must have some talent, we don't even qualify. Don’t think about latching onto Alexander, if we can get Mr. Mark’s support, that’s already a win."While they discussed, the poisoned creatures had all been dealt with by Alexander.He looked at the dead creatures in his hand, sneering disdainfully."Hmph, this small trick and they dare call it a lifesaving move? It's enough to make anyone laugh.""Alexander, are you alright?" Eleanor asked with concern.Alexander immediately smiled brightly, turning around to say: “I'm fine, everyone stay here for a while. I need to teach these people a lesson."After finishing his words, Alexander immediately chased after them, quickly catching up to Gabriel.Gabriel realized someone was catching up to him and was so frightened that

    Seeing Gabriel stamp his feet, Atlas scoffed coldly: “Hmph! You think you can scare me like that? Let me show you the power of the 'No Move' technique!""Oh, so you can see through my background? At your age, you haven't even lived as long as a dog.” Gabriel taunted."Impudent!" Atlas furious and swung two fists toward Gabriel.Gabriel wasn't weak either. He quickly advanced, clashing with Atlas.The speed of both men was incredibly fast, so much so that they became two streaks of light, one white, one black. The two streaks collided with loud bangs, crackling with force.The onlookers couldn't make out the martial arts moves of Gabriel and Atlas, but Alexander watched the two fight with ease.After over thirty moves, Alexander slowly shook his head, realizing that Atlas was no match for Gabriel.Sweat began to form on Atlas’s forehead. With the high intensity of the fight, his stamina had reached its limit. Meanwhile, Gabriel, in his prime, was full of energy and appeared to be in fu

    What just happened was an embarrassing moment, and not just for one person but for all of them. So, Tome’s lackeys couldn’t help but want to kill Atlas.“You old man, you dare to act without owning up to it? Using a straw, huh? If you’re so tough, why don’t you fight me one-on-one? Let’s see if we kill you or not!”“No matter how good your martial arts are, a gun will still knock you down. I’ve got a gun, do you? If you’re scared, kneel down now!”Tome’s lackeys pulled out guns, aiming them directly at Atlas.“A!”Nana let out a graceful cry, her face showing panic as she su

    Eleanor was quite satisfied with Alexander's reassuring words. She scratched his hand lightly and, when she saw Alexander looking at her, gave him a warm smile.Alexander smiled happily, bent down to kiss Eleanor, but she tilted her head to avoid it.Seeing Alexander and Eleanor acting affectionate in front of everyone, Nana, Laurie, and Tome all felt a surge of emotion."Eleanor, you shameless little brat, aren't you going to serve Young Master Jake right now?" Laurie said angrily.Tome snorted coldly, glaring at Alexander, then mocked: “So you're the useless guy living off your wife, Alexander? Come here and bark like a dog, maybe I'll keep you as my door guard. If you don't listen to me, there'll be no way out for you, ha ha."Alexander glanced at Tome and shook his head: “You're really deaf to gunfire. If you want to show off and act cool, do it properly, you're just an idiot.""Shut up! Who do you think you are to call me an idiot? Get over here! Grab this trash dog and give him

    Atlas stood silently behind Nana like a statue in deep meditation. As long as no one disrupted the plan, he remained motionless.Alexander glanced at Atlas, noting his composed and immovable demeanor. He faintly sensed that Atlas was a formidable expert.A beautiful woman with an escort of such caliber could not be ordinary. Moreover, she had chosen to sit in such a discreet corner, giving Alexander the impression that her presence here might involve him.However, Alexander maintained his composure. Life was a stage, and everything depended on the performance. If Nana wanted to act, he would wait to see what role she intended to play."Mr. Mark, don’t be so timid.” Alexander teased with a laugh: “You’ve shown courage before. Use that courage to confess."Jeremy smiled wryly, scratching his head: “In the past, I would’ve just taken my men to snatch her away. But now, seeing her, I don’t even dare entertain such thoughts. It would feel barbaric."Alexander and Eleanor exchanged amused g
