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. Take us there immediately, or bear the consequences yourse
Alexander gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, still holding Eleanor tightly, the rage inside him ready to burn everything down."... Alexander..."Eleanor sobbed, her face full of panic, looking up with teary eyes before fainting.At that moment Wendy rushed over, seeing the scene and said urgently: “Young Master Reynolds, let's take her to the hospital first."Alexander nodded, stood up, and cradled Eleanor in his arms, ready to leave.At this moment, Shane shattered the glass he was holding onto the floor and shouted: “Let's see who dares to leave today!"Alexander's face darkened, his pupils contracted, and his hatred was barely contained!Before he could speak, Wendy sternly said: “Mr. Waters, Mr. Thorne sent me here today. Are you challenging Mr. Thorne?"Shane's face darkened; he indeed did not dare to challenge Thorne.However, Young Master Welsh had been beaten on his turf. If word got out, Shane would lose his standing in Golden Harbor!"Fine! Let's see who dares to step ou
After explaining, Thorne began to sweat, glancing nervously at Addison, who stood behind Shane, his anxiety growing.However, the next moment, something happened that made everyone present gasp in shock!Alexander standing calmly among the crowd, showed no sign of fear. He simply stared coldly at Addison and said: “Addison, I've taken note of you. There's no one in this world that Alexander cannot touch!"Upon hearing this, Thorne's eyes gleamed with hope.But Addison instead of backing down then he laughed angrily, his face twisted with malice as he shouted: “Good, good, good! You little bastard, you really think you're something! I don't believe there's anyone in this godforsaken Golden Harbor who would dare lay a hand on me!""Shane, I order you now—take down all of them! Especially this one, chop off his right hand for me! As for the woman in his arms, I want to play with her right in front of him!"Addison's eyes gleamed with vicious intent, completely dismissing Alexander as a th
Hmph!A cold snort, Blaine directly got into his Bentley, shouting: "You dare to be disrespectful! If Young Master Reynolds is trash like you say, then our Welsh family is not even worthy of being trash! Right now, kneel and beg for Young Master Reynolds' forgiveness, or I won't have a son like you anymore!"Addison was utterly shocked, unable to release his anger, his eyes glancing at Alexander standing calmly.Was his father serious?How could this be?Who on earth was this punk?To make his father say such things!Addison raised his head, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, soaking into his head wound, making him feel incredibly sober.He panicked, hurriedly running to Alexander, bowing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, Young Master Reynolds, I was wrong, please forgive me, I apologize for my rudeness!"Just moments ago, Addison was shouting threats, but now he was humbly bowing and apologizing to Alexander, leaving everyone stunned!He was the heir of the Welsh Max Group in Golden H
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
