"Dammit! Don’t you know you shouldn’t hit someone in the face?" Sutton, feeling utterly humiliated, had initially wanted to show off his masculinity in front of Laurie but was now left looking like a fool after Alexander’s punch. "You son of a—I'll beat you to death!" Sutton roared in anger, clenching his fist and charging at Alexander. "A good dog doesn’t block the road. If you want to be beaten, I’ll oblige." Alexander, still masked, didn’t hold back. He turned and delivered a stylish high kick straight to Sutton’s chin. If no one recognized him, there was no need to hide his true strength. Sutton suddenly felt like he had lost his connection to the earth as he flew backward. Thud! He hit the ground hard, feeling as though every bone in his body had shattered. Laurie and the other wealthy socialites watching from the sidelines stepped back three paces, all lookin
To make Ramsay ignore his own son’s life and ruthlessly kick him in a vital spot proved how powerful this top-tier rich man was.Laurie thought to herself.Ramsay turned back, bowing deeply at a 120-degree angle to Alexander: "Young Master, it’s my fault for not teaching my son properly. Please, Young Master, punish him as you see fit. If you say the word, I’ll beat this brat to death today as a service to society!"Ramsay spoke with determination, willing to sacrifice even his own son to please Alexander.The expressions on the faces of the other wealthy young men turned sour; they had only intended to watch the show, but now they realized they were witnessing a brutal example.No, this wasn’t just a brutal example. Considering Sutton’s status among them, this was clearly a case of killing a monkey to scare the chickens!Compared to Sutton, most of the rich young men here didn’t even come close in family status, so the comparison was stark.Everyone’s eyes were now fixed on the myste
Hearing the support from the other rich young men, Laurie smiled inwardly, though her face still showed sadness as she continued to gaze at Alexander.“Ha ha.”From behind his mask, Alexander let out a faint laugh, then turned and walked directly into the Radiant Hall.The crowd parted to let him pass, forming a path to the grand hall as they watched him disappear inside.Laurie stared blankly at the masked figure’s retreating back, not understanding what he meant.Was that laugh all there was?She had put on such a performance, and all he did was laugh?Didn’t she have enough charm to arouse a man’s protective instincts?No matter how hard Laurie racked her brain, she couldn’t figure out what that laugh meant.Laurie clenched her teeth so hard that they made a creaking sound. She stomped her foot angrily and whispered: “Just wait and see, I don't believe that a cat wouldn't eat fish!"Similarly, Chairman Phillips and the others were racking their brains, trying to figure out if Alexa
Even those wealthy and prestigious families who visit Sea Swallow Pavilion might be able to order these signature dishes, but they could never get Philo to cook for them. The cooking was always done by Philo’s disciples, and the taste was far inferior. "Philo himself cooked this time. Last time Remington hosted a party, he wanted Philo to cook, but Philo refused. In the end, it was Philo’s senior disciple who did the cooking." "I’ve heard that Philo’s culinary skills are highly regarded in the chef community. He can even outperform a three-star Michelin chef, and the dishes he prepared for the state banquet were praised by the mayor." "Why do you think Philo is currying favor with this Young Master? What kind of status does this Young Master have? Even the second-generation heirs of multinational corporations don’t receive such treatment." Hearing the murmurs around her, Laurie fumed inwardly, her eyes constantly drifting toward Alexan
At this moment, an unprecedented sense of grievance surged up from the depths of Laurie's heart. Although she couldn't understand why this mysterious young master was treating her this way, Laurie had no face left to stay here any longer. If she continued to stay, it would only bring her more humiliation.Covering her face with both hands, Laurie burst into tears and ran straight out, with her close friends hurriedly following behind.A group of wealthy young men collectively sighed in regret, though it was unclear whether they were sorry for Laurie or for the glass of wine worth more than thirty thousand dollars per bottle."You've got to hand it to the Young Master. Even someone as beautiful as Laurie couldn't catch his eye. He probably only associates with world-famous celebrities. To him, our goddess Marshall might just be like the prettiest girl in a small town.""Tsk tsk, to pour out a glass of Romanée Conti worth over thirty thousand dollars like that—such flair! And more impor
Seeing Alexander turn his back on her, Laurie angrily swung her handbag at him, but her aim was off, and the bag merely brushed his shoulder."You’ve gone too far. I can tolerate a few insults, but hitting me? What do you take me for?"Alexander turned back, his face cold with anger."I take you for trash, a useless man. Now, pick up my bag, or I’ll make sure you regret it today!"Laurie stood with her hands on her hips, yelling like a shrew.Alexander stared silently at Laurie, who glared back at him in fury."Alexander, you useless piece of trash, are you trying to rebel? Do you still want to stay with the Marshall family? If you don’t want to end up out on the street, pick up my bag now!"Laurie raised her chin and shouted, finally finding a sense of superiority over Alexander.Alexander laughed bitterly, remembering the satisfaction of pouring wine over Laurie's face earlier. He turned and walked toward the handbag lying on the ground.It’s okay.After all, he was still living off
"Let’s go. That useless guy is probably still in shock from Remington’s call. Honestly, I still prefer the Young Master’s demeanor. If the Young Master wanted me, I wouldn’t mind being splashed with red wine a hundred times a day."Laurie lifted her head, seeing Alexander approaching, and her friends giggled, chattering excitedly around her."Laurie, you’ve got some unique tastes. It’s like you’ve got Stockholm syndrome. Do you like being mistreated?""Hehe, but it depends on who’s doing the mistreating. If it’s someone like the Young Master, I’d be willing too. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t even get the chance to be splashed.""That’s right. Just look at how Remington fawns over the Young Master. Following him would be like soaring up to the branches and becoming a phoenix. What’s a little mistreatment in comparison?"Hearing her friends’ words, Laurie couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction, as if the humiliation earlier had been some sort of twisted enjoyment.Seeing that Laurie
"Oh, it's you! It's been years since we last met. Didn't you go abroad?"Eleanor recalled Phineas and smiled slightly, stepping aside to let him in.Valeria saw Phineas enter, and her expression was one of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.In the past six months, Phineas had given Valeria plenty of gifts, including various cosmetics from abroad and international brand-name clothes, all courtesy of this man.But whenever Valeria compared Alexander to Phineas, she couldn't help but feel that Alexander was nothing but a pile of dog crap!
