At the same time, Valeria glared at Alexander, embarrassed, and angrily said: “You're showing off too much! A weakling like you trying to prove himself? If you want to prove something, do it with your own ability, not by borrowing someone else’s power!"
"I wasn’t trying to prove anything, Mom. I just saw that Phineas wasn’t handling things, so I stepped in to help.” Alexander said calmly.
Bringing up Phineas only made Valeria even angrier, as if Alexander was using Phineas to insult her judgment.
"Phineas is not someone you can compare yourself to! Don’t think that just because you helped me, I’m going to change my opi
In the Mercedes-Benz, Amias took out a Havana cigar he had kept carefully, cut off the tip, and handed it to Alexander.“Young Master Reynolds, why don't you try this Havana cigar I've been saving? It wasn’t easy to get my hands on it, but I’m sure it’s nothing special compared to what you're used to.”Alexander held the cigar between two fingers, and Amias quickly took out a pure gold lighter to light it for him.Alexander, with the cigar in his mouth, said indifferently: “When you smoke a cigar, you should use cedar wood matches. Don’t use a flashy lighter like that again; it makes you look like a nouveau riche, and people will laugh at you.”Amias was momentarily stunned before putting the gold lighter away.“Hehe, I guess I really am a country bumpkin who knows nothing. I’ll make sure to learn better next time and never embarrass you, Young Master Reynolds.”Amias then picked up a glass ashtray, ready to catch the ash from Alexander’s cigar.Outside the Mercedes-Benz, Thorne grabb
After finishing his stretches, Alexander put his hands behind his back and slowly walked into Dragon Hall.Dragon Hall was a place of lavish indulgence, where one night could easily cost millions. Even a single bottle of Champagne started at several hundred thousand, making it a place well out of reach for the average person.As Alexander entered Dragon Hall, eight beautiful hostesses in qipao slit up to the thighs bowed in unison, calling out: “Welcome, boss.”As they bowed, their low-cut collars revealed their soft, porcelain skin.Without sparing them a glance, Alexander walked past and quietly said: “Private room number one.”“Right this way, boss.” the most beautiful hostess said with a sweet smile, leading Alexander inside, her body almost brushing up against his.“Alexander?” A surprised female voice suddenly called out nearby.Alexander turned to see a group of young men and women looking at him with disdain.The slender girl standing in the center of the group was the one who
Seeing that Alexander remained silent, Romina shouted even louder: “Get down and lick my shoes!""How dare you! Who do you think you are to treat Young Master Reynolds like that?"A furious voice suddenly rang out.Hearing Romina’s rude remarks, Thorne felt a sudden sense of panic. If Alexander were humiliated here on his own turf, Thorne wouldn’t have the face to show himself here anymore. He might as well buy some tofu and smash it over his head in shame.Without waiting to approach Romina's group, Thorne shouted at the top of his lungs.Romina, still in a fit of anger, was startled when she heard someone shout at her. Feeling even more irritated, she spun around and pointed at Thorne, yelling: “Who the hell are you? Who gave you permission to butt into someone else’s business? I’m teaching trash a lesson here—what’s it to you?"The group of well-dressed men also turned to look at Thorne. Some of the more muscular ones joined in, shouting insults."Who let this old geezer out withou
Thorne instructed the security team as per Alexander’s orders, and soon the security guards forcefully escorted Romina and her group of wealthy young men out of the premises.“So many people are blind to the obvious, daring to provoke Young Master Reynolds—they clearly don’t know their place.” Thorne muttered under his breath as he hurried to catch up with Alexander.When Alexander reached the door of the private room, Amias was waiting there with a big smile.Seeing Alexander approach, Amias quickly opened the door: “Young Master Reynolds, please come in."After Alexander entered the room, Amias hurriedly followed and pulled out a chair for him: “Please have a seat, Young Master Reynolds."Watching Amias, the receptionist felt a pang of discomfort. They had intended to do these tasks for Alexander, but it seemed that this plump man had taken over.After seeing Thorne’s respectful attitude towards Alexander earlier, the beautiful receptionist had hoped to find an opportunity to curry
Alexander stepped forward, shielding her, and whispered: “Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let anything happen."Suddenly, Eleanor felt a wave of safety wash over her. It was a comforting feeling, being protected by someone else.But as she looked at the dozens of thugs approaching and realized it was just Alexander standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel uncertain."Be careful. If they start a fight, let’s run.” she reminded him."If they do, you run first, and I’ll cover you.” Alexander said, flas
Auden Marshall laughed loudly and said: “Each of us manages our own area, no one can interfere with anyone else. Now that the equipment has malfunctioned, it’s clearly due to an unavoidable issue. I’ve already arranged for the staff to fix it urgently."“I came here to check things out. If your staff can’t make the emergency repairs, I can call in someone else to ensure everything is fixed quickly. We need to resume production as soon as possible.” Eleanor said, unwilling to back down.Auden’s expression shifted slightly. He thought to himself, How could it be repaired so quickly? He deliberately stalled to cause her trouble. They need to drag this out for as long as possible.“This is the material factory’s issue, and how it’s repaired is also our concern. It’s not up to you. Please leave. We need to check the equipment urgently, and we don’t have time to entertain you.” Auden said, turning his back and signaling to the large workers behind him before heading into the workshop.The t
“I’m going to die... Let me go!”The workshop head and several workers nearby watched in horror as Auden desperately struggled for his life. The shock was written all over their faces.Is this really the infamous ‘useless guy’?Since when are ‘useless’ people this fierce?What if this madman, in a fit of rage, decided to kill everyone in the factory?Everyone shuddered at the thought, their gaze toward Alexander shifting dramatically.Alexander’s show of force wasn’t just about Auden—it was a calculated move to intimidate the others quickly. Otherwise, they’d waste more time arguing and being blocked from the inspection.For Eleanor’s sake, Alexander decided to play the bad guy to the end.Even Eleanor was taken aback, feeling a cold sweat break out. She feared Alexander might actually strangle Auden to death in his rage. She rushed forward, pulling at Alexander’s arm and shouting:"Alexander, calm down! Let him go. You’ll kill him! There’s no need for a murder!"Alexander’s icy gaze
"You’re too kind, Phineas. Have some fruit while you’re here, and I’ll get you some tea.""No need to fuss, auntie. I just came by for a bit and will be leaving shortly."As soon as Phineas finished speaking, the sound of the door opening caught his attention, and he eagerly turned to look.Eleanor and Alexander walked in together. Phineas looked at Alexander's unscathed face and felt a surge of anger.What was going on?Why wasn’t Alexander injured at all?Could Caelan Krat have attacked the wrong person?A flood of questions rushed through Phineas' mind, but now wasn't the time to ask. He had to swallow his confusion.Seeing Phineas sitting on the sofa, Alexander greeted him cheerfully: “General Manager Nichols, here to visit? Your face sure healed up quickly."Phineas' face twitched, and he gritted his teeth, trying not to let his anger show."My injury wasn't serious. But I heard, Alexander, that you're still lazing around at home. You can't stay home forever. You should get out t
