Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 124:
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!

Phineas continued his act, delivering a heartfelt and passionate speech that made the Marshall family's friends and relatives excited. They thought that if Eleanor were with Phineas, they would have a good investment opportunity in the future, which would benefit everyone."Phineas truly has deep feelings for Eleanor. Even I'm moved by it. If I were Eleanor, I'd definitely divorce Alexander.""That useless Alexander doesn't deserve Eleanor. She's been through so much suffering in this miserable marriage.""Useless is one thing, but wearing fake clothes too? What's he trying to prove? Getting called out in front of everyone is a disgrace to the Marshall family,

Tommy proudly unwrapped the gift Phineas brought and exclaimed: “Oh my god, Brother Phineas brought bird’s nest— the finest bird’s nest!""Alexander, have you ever seen bird’s nest before? I bet a poor guy like you has never laid eyes on it. Come take a look, expand your horizons. This box of bird’s nest is worth your entire year’s salary. Just see how much you're beneath him."Tommy boasted, flaunting his words.Phineas smiled politely: “It’s just a small thing, not worth much. If Auntie and Eleanor like it, I can buy more. You could have bird’s nest soup every day— I hear it’s great for maintaining beauty."At this moment, Phineas already saw himself as the son-in-law of the Marshall family and began speaking in that tone."Look at him, Alexander.” Laurie sneered: “a loser like you should know your place and sign the divorce papers as soon as possible."As she spoke, Laurie spat a melon seed shell onto Alexander’s pants. Seeing her spit-soaked shell stick to his trouser leg, she smi

Seeing Alexander’s impassive face, Phineas felt like the brightest star in the room, confident that he had Alexander firmly underfoot."Listen to that, how humble Phineas is. He doesn’t even blink at spending three hundred thousand, while Alexander just stands there in his knock-off clothes, all smug. Get a clue.” the relatives scolded Alexander once again.It seemed mocking Alexander was their natural responsibility.Phineas, with a generous wave of his hand and the air of a victor, said: “Come on, don’t pick on Alexander. It’s not easy for him. Even the poor have their pride, right?""Phineas is so generous. That’s what it takes to be someone who does great things. They say a prime minister’s chest can hold a ship. Phineas is sure to be a brilliant leader one day.” Tommy praised, enthusiastically inflating his words.Alexander remained silent, showing no reaction. He simply sat quietly, as if everything happening in the room had nothing to do with him.Eleanor sat in silence as well

Please continue reading there.***Looking at the smile on Alexander’s face, Devlin felt as if he was seeing the real-life version of a devil’s grin.The smile was truly terrifying and horrifying. Coupled with the pain in his hand at that moment, Devlin suddenly collapsed, unable to hold on any longer."If I tell you everything, will you let me go? What about my other brothers?" Devlin asked hesitantly."Of course, I’m Alexander, and I’m very trustworthy. I’ve never gone back on my word.” Alexander said."Alright, then I’ll tell you. What do you want to know?"Finally, Devlin admitted defeat.Gabe scratched his head, silently thinking that Young Master Reynolds was really something. Besides, Young Master Reynolds was cruel enough. Stepping on one of Devlin’s hands, he was definitely the epitome of a villainous character.Laurie looked at Nana and,

Alexander, unaware that a large operation was being set up against him, was sitting in the front passenger seat, feeling a headache.Nana and Laurie were in the back seat, arguing the entire way, neither willing to give up. The two were still bickering without lifting a finger.Alexander tried to intervene several times but couldn’t stop them, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.Nico secretly chuckled and whispered to Alexander: “Master, isn’t this the so-called happy headache?”“Happy headache, my ass. It’s just a headache, not happy at all. Why has it turned into this? This shouldn’t be happening.” Alexander rubbed his temples, beginning to reflect on the past and wondering where he had gone wrong. Why had Laurie’s attitude changed so drastically?Could it be that Laurie had upgraded her tactics, feeling that the previous approach didn’t work on him, and thus had switched to a new one?The more Alexander thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, h

The mention of Tome was like a scar being ripped open in Laurie's heart. Nana's blunt remark made her grit her teeth in anger."Hmph! You little vixen, are you after Alexander? I’m warning you, Alexander belongs to the Marshall family. You’re not allowed to have any ideas about him. Eleanor, you need to be careful of this little seductress. If you want, I can help you keep an eye on Alexander and go with him."Laurie finished speaking and smugly glanced at Nana, feeling as though she had come up with a perfect excuse.Nana clenched her teeth in fury, wanting to pounce on Laurie and bite her.The two women glared at each other, refusing to back down.Nico, meanwhile, quietly moved aside, feeling like he was watching a palace drama unfold. He couldn’t help but admire his master—only a truly powerful man could have women fighting over him.If it were an ordinary man, no woman would care.Let alone compete for him. A man who had women competing for him was proof of his greatness.Alexande

Queen Master’s face darkened further, and the sense of unease in her heart grew stronger."So you’re saying that Alexander is much stronger than you?""He’s stronger than me, but if it came to a life-and-death battle, neither of us could be certain of the outcome.” the head of the guards replied, feeling that if it were a desperate fight, he still might be able to defeat Alexander, or at least injure both of them."Increase my protection level. I need the tightest security!"Queen Master said seriously."Understood, I will implement the highest level of protection."Queen Master weakly waved her hand, and the head of the guards smartly stepped back.Wilbur whispered: “Don’t worry too much about Alexander. I’ve already contacted several experts. In the end, we can make him unable to withstand it.""What about the development of the enhancement drug?" Queen Master asked abruptly.Wilbur was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded: “The enhancement drug isn’t stable yet. It has very
Chapter 396: Long-Term Revenge Plan.
After hearing Alexander’s report, Ward immediately understood what was going on.“Young Master Reynolds, I know those people. They are from Southern Mountain, a bunch of hot-headed drifters. They know how to keep a low profile, and it’s basically impossible to catch them. The only way is to drive them away. How about this: I can send a small team to watch over your construction site and scare them off.”Ward intended to ensure his lover’s safety more securely. Since he had decided to curry favor, he would go all the way. He directly dispatched a small team to the construction site as security guards to make sure nothing happened there.“This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Moreover, if they pull off something else, we’ll be even more passive. Do you know their background? Tell me directly.”Ward pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on a file on the table.“They have ties to the geomancer from last time. I suspect that it’s people from his sect who are unwilling to
Chapter 395: Only Bringing Trouble.
After visiting Mary, Alexander, Nana, and Nico left the hospital and drove back to the company.Pushing open Eleanor’s office door, Alexander saw her working and smiled: “Honey, what are you busy with?"Eleanor lifted her head to look at Alexander, then glanced at Nana and Nico behind him, feeling slightly suspicious.Earlier, Alexander had left on his own, but now he had returned with Nana—and Nico was with them too?Could it be that Nico was secretly helping Alexander and Nana stay in touch, covering for their secret meetings?A flood of thoughts raced through Eleanor’s mind, and she gradually felt a tinge of jealousy."What were you all doing just now?" Eleanor’s voice was slightly strained."I just finished some business and happened to run into Nana and Nico wandering around, so I took them to visit Mary. Lately, Mary has been learning all sorts of nonsense from the patients in the neighboring ward. Once her treatment is done, we should bring her home as soon as possible.""Oh, a

Joaquin sensing Queen Master’s thoughts, spoke slowly: “I think Alexander only has a few tricks up his sleeve. Xavier is an unruly fighter, relying solely on his physical strength. Anyone who undergoes proper training can defeat him.”“Joaquin, do you really think so?” Queen Master asked coldly.Joaquin shuddered, lowering his head in a panic, his voice mumbled: “I just speak my mind. I’m not saying it’s necessarily right.”“Hmph, while I may not understand everything, I know the basics. Xavier may not be a top-tier fighter, but he can still reach the level of a high-ranking fighter.”“Among the Dragon Sect’s guards, there are plenty of people stronger than Xavier. But if we talk about who could easily overpower Xavier like Alexander did, I’m afraid not many could. Over the years, Alexander must have been biding his time. His ambition is truly terrifying!”Wilbur quickly added: “You’re right. Alexander really has a fierce ambition. I’ve seen through this guy’s ambitions long ago. He m

Joaquin respectfully said to Queen Master: “Thank you for upholding justice for me, Queen Master. I am truly, truly grateful.”“Enough with the pretense. You said you wanted to get close to Alexander and obtain the secret key. Why haven’t I seen any progress?”“I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity. I can’t make it too obvious, don’t you think?” Joaquin replied with a sycophantic smile.“Hmph!”Queen Master snorted coldly, dismissing Joaquin.Just then, Wilbur entered with a tournament schedule in hand, frowning slightly: “The match between Alexander and Xavier has been canceled. I’m still investigating the exact reason.”“Canceled? What happened?” Queen Master’s expression darkened with displeasure.Knock, knock, knock.The door to the private room was knocked upon, and Thorne entered with a bowed head, his posture humble.Thorne only knew that the people inside this room were of high status, but he had no idea who they were or what their ranks were.“Good evening. I represent

Alexander took Nico and Nana to Mary’s hospital room. When Mary saw Alexander, she immediately rushed into his arms and happily kissed his face.“Dad, you finally came to visit me. Who are these uncle and aunt?”Mary tilted her head and looked at Nico and Nana.Nico’s face twitched. Based on status, he should be on the same level as Mary, but he wasn’t sure whether he was considered an older or younger brother of Mary.“Mary, this is my disciple Nico. You can call him ‘brother’.” Alexander said.“Ah?” Mary looked at Nico carefully, and Nico forced out an awkward yet polite smile.“This is my brother? But he’s older than Dad.”Mary said innocently.Nico’s smile cracked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.“Mary, this is your sister Nana.” Alexander continued with the introduction.Nana puffed her cheeks and said unhappily: “Alexander, the way you introduced me isn’t right. Mary should call me ‘aunt,’ otherwise the family hierarchy will be messed up.”“She’s so beautiful, she’s not an aunt, sh
