"I didn’t order any of this! Why did you serve it? I’m not paying for it!" Phineas declared, deciding to shamelessly refuse.
The entire Emperor’s Banquet was close to 150 million. Even with all the cash and bank balance Phineas had, it only added up to a little over nine million.
Though Phineas’s net worth was high, he didn’t have that much liquid cash. The rest of his wealth was tied up in investments and couldn’t be withdrawn immediately.
Better to admit defeat now than be unable to pay when the bill came.

Although Rodger was furious, seeing how eagerly Alexander was eating, he could only swallow his anger.Boris had already laid out the feast, and it couldn’t be sent back now. Not eating would only embarrass Boris, so whether or not there was something off about this meal, they had to eat: “Eat up, eat up. Since Director Vega sent it over, let's enjoy it. A famous person like Director Vega wouldn’t poison us. Afterward, Alexander can stay behind to handle the remaining formalities. After all, it’s all a gift for him."Rodger washed his hands of any responsibility, placing it all on Alexander. Whatever happened, it would be Alexander who would suffer. Seeing how Alexander devoured the food, the others, with their stomachs growling, also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.Phineas was the fastest eater, channeling his anger into his appetite. He thought: 'If I don’t eat this free meal, it would be a waste. Face is already lost, so I might as well eat more to make up for it, bu

Phineas led the store manager over to Alexander, speaking as they walked: "This is the loser we were talking about earlier. We were shocked to see him wearing a limited-edition Givenchy outfit, thinking he must be wearing a high-quality fake.""But this useless guy stubbornly insisted it was real. So we had no choice but to bring him here to get it authenticated, to let him know just how much of a piece of trash he is. Being poor and wearing fake clothes isn't that disgraceful, but insisting they're real is just wrong."Phineas' words carried a hidden message, subtly informing the store manager that Alexander was a nobody, so there was no need to worry. He just needed to say it was fake. Alexander shrugged, quickly taking off his jacket and handing it to the somewhat dazed store manager.It wasn’t until the jacket was stuffed into his hands that the store manager snapped out of it. He glanced down at the jacket, and his expression kept shifting.At this moment, the store manager’s hea

Nana gently spoke, her body half-leaning against Alexander's arm: "What would the VIP like to see? I can take you to look around, and we also offer a wardrobe service for VIPs."Lily and Nancy had also approached, with the three of them nearly surrounding Alexander, offering him their warmth and tenderness.Alexander hurriedly pushed them away, his face cold: "I don’t need any of you right now.""A poor guy like you, why pretend? It's not that you don’t need us, it's that you can't afford it. Poor is poor. Your manager better keep an eye on you and not let himself be deceived," Laurie said in dissatisfaction as Alexander moved toward Eleanor, whispering: “Now that the outfit has been confirmed as genuine or fake, let’s head back."As for Valeria's bet, Alexander hadn’t mentioned a word. If he brought it up now, it would surely ignite an explosive situation, and Valeria was already deeply embarrassed. Who knows how she would react in that case?So Alexander wisely chose not to mention

On the way back, Valeria had forgotten about this promise. Now, with Alexander suddenly bringing it up, her face twitched slightly, feeling like she could no longer keep up her facade."A shameless guy like you dares to bargain with me? Who agrees to conditions with their son-in-law? Isn’t it the son-in-law who should be offering gifts to the in-laws? But what have you given me?""Look at what Phineas gave me, and then look at yourself! What have you given me, your father-in-law, or Eleanor over all these years? I suggest you quickly divorce Eleanor. Stop dragging my daughter down. You're nothing but a pile of cow dung!"Valeria exploded like a powder keg. Eleanor gently pushed Alexander, signaling for him to go back to the room, and he quietly turned and left."Mom, please stop. Even if you raise a dog or a cat, you'd develop feelings for them over time. Alexander and I have been together for so long. Plus... Mary can't grow up without her biological father."What worried Eleanor mos

Selah seeing Alexander’s sloppy attire, rolled her eyes in disdain: “Mrs. Jones, your useless son-in-law is here. Look at him, dressed like a farmer. Such a waste, your daughter is so beautiful.""The saying goes, 'A wise wife takes a foolish husband, like a jasmine flower stuck in a cow's dung.' Now that I’ve met Mrs. Jones’s useless son-in-law, I really believe this saying. I don't know what Mrs. Jones was thinking when she agreed to this marriage back then.""But in a way, it's for the best. Since Mrs. Jones’s son-in-law is so weak, it allows us sisters to gather with her. If she had a decent son-in-law, she might not even acknowledge us on the street."These sisters had often been belittled by Valeria, so now that they had the chance, they seized the opportunity to mock Alexander, taking revenge for the past slights. Valeria was extremely angry inside, the more she looked at Alexander, the more irritated she became, and she couldn’t help but scold him."You useless fool, I told yo

Valeria's expression shifted, but she was relieved that she had quickly found someone to help. As long as Phineas came, she'd still have a shred of dignity left."That’s true. Your family's roots aren’t deep, and you should save your favors for when Benito needs a promotion. I'll reach out to the CEO of the investment firm Shadow & Light. He’s been in the investment world for a long time and might be able to handle this," Valeria said, pulling out her phone dramatically, making sure her friends noticed.Phineas hurried over, eager to redeem himself after his last embarrassing incident. He wanted to regain face in front of Valeria, and in his mind, winning her favor would bring him closer to winning her over.As Phineas approached, Valeria proudly introduced him: "This is Phineas Nichols, the CEO of Shadow & Light Investment. Phineas, these are some of my old friends. They’ve been scammed by this investment company, so you need to help us recover some of their retirement money.""Is th

Valeria snatched the drinks and snacks from Alexander, fuming: “Sit down and keep quiet. There’s nothing for you to do here. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll knock your teeth out!"Phineas squinted at Alexander and, acting generous, said: “Auntie, just let this useless guy stick around to clean up. He can pick up the sunflower seed shells and plastic wrappers. We shouldn’t pollute the environment.""Phineas is right! You useless thing, sit down and clean up the trash. And don't interrupt Phineas when he's negotiating with the investment company's people.""If he can handle this, then dogs won’t eat feces anymore," Alexande

Thorne nodded and glanced at the number displayed on his phone.Seeing the name "Young Master Reynolds" on the screen, Thorne’s scalp tingled. He immediately stood up, quickly answering the call, and respectfully bowed his head as he spoke: “Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"The fat man across from him was confused. A single phone call could make Thorne act so deferentially? The person on the other end must be extremely important!Out of politeness, due to the fat man’s presence, Thorne didn’t mention Alexander’s name.The fat man had hosted this banquet for Th
