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
Ramsay took a deep breath, trying to figure out what Alexander was doing there.Two men and two women, meeting with HR? Ramsay couldn’t wrap his head around it. Could it be that the Young Master was trying to get a job for a friend?But that didn’t make sense. If Alexander wanted to get someone a job, he could have just called him directly.Was Alexander here in disguise?But why would he visit the HR department in that case?Ramsay’s mind raced wi
Ramsay sternly asked: “Valiant, how did you arrange a job for Young Master Reynolds just now? What position did you assign him?""Chairman, I arranged for him to be a warehouse guard. It’s not a significant position, and I didn’t break any company rules. I was just trying to be lenient out of sympathy.” Valiant explained, keeping an eye on Ramsay’s expression to gauge his level of anger.But when Valiant saw Ramsay’s eyes practically shooting fire, a cold sweat broke out across his entire body!"Damn it! Is there something wrong with your head? How could you assign him that position? You’re done being HR Director—starting tomorrow, you’ll be transferred to the warehouse to work as a guard!" Ramsay shouted angrily.Valiant was stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening. He was a director of human resources, and now he was being demoted to a warehouse guard? This was an enormous waste of human resources!Before Valiant could make sense of it, Ramsay continued: “Don’t think you can
The entire ride home, Valeria remained silent, her thoughts in turmoil, unsure of how to process everything.Once they arrived, Valeria demanded sternly: “Alexander, tell me exactly what's going on!""What do you mean, what's going on?" Alexander feigned ignorance."Don’t play dumb with me. What’s your relationship with Chairman Salas? Why was he so respectful toward you? It doesn’t make sense!" Valeria had thought about it the entire ride and still couldn’t believe it. Even if Alexander had saved Ramsay, it didn’t explain why Ramsay treated him with such deference."I just happened to save Chairman Salas, that’s all. Didn’t he already say? There were plenty of people around at the time, but nobody stepped up because they thought he was some kind of scammer. I saw that he was in real trouble and decided to help.” Alexander explained casually."Even if you saved Chairman Salas, he doesn’t have to treat you like that! Why would he let you choose any position in his company? That’s the S
