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

"A guest like Phineas has already given such a valuable gift. If you, as the son-in-law, give something inferior, then maybe you should just stop being a son-in-law and let someone else take your place."Walden, who had been silent up until now, couldn’t resist adding his voice.All this time, he hadn’t spoken a word.He was still bitter about the collaboration with the Welsh Max Corporation being monopolized by only two members of the Marshall family.But now, he couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to ridicule Alexander.

Very quickly, the hotel staff brought in a set of tools.Blaze took them, put on white gloves, and held a flashlight and magnifying glass, carefully examining the Jade Dragon.Just by looking at Blaze’s professional demeanor, everyone took a deep breath.If an antique appraisal expert like Blaze took this seriously, it must have some real significance. Could it be that Alexander stumbled upon some unbelievable luck and bought a genuine item for 600 thousand?"Could this really be authentic? Didn’t someone just say it’s a glass replica? How reliable was that?""Haha, do you really need to ask? Don’t you know the stuff sold at antique markets? All of it is fake technology.""Those antique dealers are all sly old foxes. Why would they sell something genuine for cheap? Nowadays, finding a treasure is harder than reaching the sky. Don’t overthink it. Besides, that poor guy can’t be lucky enough to find a real treasure."A group of close friends whispered to each other, though they all felt

Eleanor’s lips curved into a small smile, the weight in her heart finally lifting. Alexander had managed to prove himself, just once.Seeing Eleanor smile, Alexander smiled too. As long as Eleanor was happy, so was he.Laurie glared at Alexander, feeling her face burn with embarrassment. The words and actions she had just done seemed to turn into slaps, landing squarely on her face.This wretched, poor loser made her lose face in front of everyone! If she ever got the chance again, she swore she’d crush him underfoot!Tommy hung his head, his body shr

Standing up and adjusting his clothes, Phineas walked towards the door of the private room, a bright smile already forming on his face: "Uncle Phillips, it's me, Phineas Nichols, son of Ashwin Nichols. My father and I have visited you before.""Hmm?"Bowen Phillips paused for a moment, then smiled coldly, the smile not reaching his eyes: “Oh, it's you. Then you should know better and quickly give up this room."Phineas froze, stunned that even after dropping his father's name, Bowen Phillips still didn't show him any respect. Laurie, Tommy, and the others began to feel uneasy. The lingering resentment from earlier—when Alexander's Jade Dragon had stolen the spotlight—was building, and with Phineas's earlier words fueling their courage, they turned their anger towards Bowen at the door."Phillips, are you going to stop or not? Phineas was polite to you, which is already a favor. Don't push your luck.""Some people, give them a little sunshine, and they think they’re stars. Give them a

Right now, Phineas felt as though he was being boiled alive by the presence of Chairman Phillips. If this torment continued any longer, he feared he might cough up blood. His spine, once upright, had bent into a full bow, his pride completely crushed. All that was left of Phineas was humility.Bent over like a shrimp, Phineas said with deep reverence: “I didn’t realize Chairman Phillips needed the room, and we misunderstood earlier. If we had known, we would have given it up right away. Please forgive us, Chairman Phillips. It would be our great honor to vacate the room for you."At that moment, Phineas had thrown away all his dignity and pride. As long as he could leave the room unharmed, he didn’t care about anything else.“Hmph.”Remington stood with his hands behind his back, belly protruding, exuding arrogance as he let out a long, dissatisfied huff.Seeing Remington’s displeasure, Phineas panicked immediately.Bowen, standing to the side, had a menacing look in his eyes, like a

The group attempted to close in on Alexander, limiting his movements. They knew that if he maintained this level of speed, they were in serious trouble.“You think you can corner me? Not with your pathetic skills.” Alexander sneered.As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure blurred, darting among them like a phantom. The burly men barely had time to react before it was too late. His speed far outstripped their reflexes.Bam! Bam! Bam!A rapid series of impacts echoed through the yard. From the first man sent flying backward to the last one, less than three seconds had passed.In those fleeting moments, Alexander landed over a dozen blows,

Kolby stopped in his tracks, staring at Michal’s dramatic surrender, and laughed, shaking his fists: “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t even thrown a punch yet, and you’re already giving up? You’re way too cooperative.”Michal, looking like he was on the verge of tears, replied: “What else can I do? I don’t want to get hit. Just treat me like a fart and forget about me.”“Damn, with courage like yours, how are you even a boss? This is hilarious. Hey, you over there.” Kolby pointed at Alexander: “Step up and take a punch from me. When I swing, you fall backward dramatically. That way, I’ll go easy on you and won’t kill you in one blow.”Kolby laughed as he demonstrated a falling motion: “Watch closely. Make sure you fall back like this. It’ll make me look cooler. Those Tai Chi masters on video do it like this, and I want to experience it for myself.”Alexander smiled and nodded, playing along: “Alright, as you wish. I’ll make sure you have the best experience possible.”“Now you’re talk

The burly man at the door grinned and said: “You guys sure got here quickly. It’s not even 20 minutes. You must live nearby?”“Not really—70 kilometers away. If my guy here hadn’t driven like a maniac, we wouldn’t have made it. I was shaken up so badly, I almost threw up.” Michal replied, leaning against the wall and miming a retch, his performance impeccable.The burly man, clearly annoyed by Michal’s retching, waved them in impatiently: “Get yourself together. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the boss.”He gestured for them to enter. Because of Michal’s convincing act, the man didn’t bother scrutinizing Alexander.Michal stole a nervous glance at Alexander, gritting his teeth before stepping inside. At this point, there was no turning back. He had already bet everything on Alexander.Tome sat on a swing, swirling a glass of red wine as he turned to look at Money Brightens Eyes beside him.Dressed in a crimson robe, Money Brightens Eyes exuded an air of elegance.

Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv

Whoosh! Whoosh!The Mercedes-Benz SUV shot past the Lamborghini like an arrow, its immense air pressure rocking the Lamborghini to the side like a leaf swaying in the wind.“Holy shit! It overtook me! Its speed has definitely surpassed 240 mph—I think it’s hitting over 260 mph!” Justine exclaimed in panic.For Justine, 260 mph wasn’t an unusual speed. F1 races regularly hit such velocities, and even Nico’s Bugatti Veyron could easily reach 280 or 300 mph.But for an SUV to achieve such speeds was beyond anything Justine had seen or heard of. SUVs typically participated in endurance challenges, prioritizing rugged terrain capabilities over outright speed.Hearing Justine’s report on the Mercedes-Benz, the other wealthy racers fell silent.The Porsche supercar just ahead of Justine also noticed the menacing approach of the Mercedes-Benz.“I see it too. It’s overtaking me. My current speed is 265 mph.” the Porsche driver reported.Ryon, listening for a while, grew increasingly agitated:

Michal stared at the new message on his phone, his face twisted with dread: “Boss, Tome's guys didn’t give an exact time. They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately

“Tome again.” Alexander muttered: “Seems that bastard keeps causing me trouble. Do you have a meeting set with him? I’d like to join.”Michal hesitated, his heart sinking. Of all the luck, he had to run into someone like Alexander, who now intended to provoke Tome. This wouldn’t end well for anyone.“Boss, how about I give you Tome’s number? You can contact him yourself. I’ll take my men and leave. We won’t step foot in Golden Harbor again.”Michal didn’t want to get involved between Alexander and Tome. No matter how things turned out between the two, Michal was certain his own ending wouldn’t be favorable. The best option now was to slip away quickly.

Lyle's face turned red with rage, humiliated by the demand."It looks like you don’t want to apologize. Fine, don’t apologize then, but this is an insult to my people!" Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..." Lyle spat blood, stumbling out of the room.He made his way back to the room, where Michal was waiting. Seeing Lyle's swollen face, Michal’s expression darkened."Lyle, what happened? I asked you to escort the two women, but you come back looking like this? Where are the others?" Michal asked in frustration."Mr. Michal, we were attacked. The others were knocked out, and I was th

Gabriel nodded, pulling out his phone to make a call. After a brief conversation filled with convincing, he finally persuaded Money Brightens Eyes to come and deal with Alexander.“Young Master Tome, my junior brother has agreed to come, but he wants 600 million upfront. He insists on receiving half in advance before he brings his people over.”“600 million? That’s nothing. Give me his account details right now—I’ll transfer the money immediately. Tell him to get here as quickly as possible!” Tome snapped, pulling out his phone. With a fierce and impatient demeanor, he swiftly transferred the money to Money Brightens Eyes.Gabriel made another call to confirm, then gave Tome an “OK” gesture.“He’s on his way. He should arrive tonight or early tomorrow morning. By tomorrow, we can deal with Alexander.”“Hahaha, excellent! I’ll rest tonight so I can enjoy tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Alexander killed—and when it’s over, I’ll stomp on his corpse!” Tome said arrogantly as he retreated to
