After a moment of silence, Alexander solemnly said to Eleanor: “Eleanor, as long as you want, I can make sure you sit at that table, and I can even get you the position of the head of the Marshall family."Eleanor trembled, looking at Alexander in surprise, but then coldly sneered: “Alexander, what nonsense are you talking about? Just you?""As long as you believe in me, I can give you everything."Alexander spoke sincerely, his eyes shining brightly.Eleanor looked into Alexander’s pure eyes and felt a wave of confusion.She had never heard Alexander speak like this, and he seemed so confident and composed.For a fleeting moment, she almost believed him.But reality sobered Eleanor up. She glanced at the lively main table and said to Alexander: “Alright, stop talking. Don't I know you well enough? If you had that capability, we wouldn't be sitting here today."Alexander, since when did you become so boastful?Eleanor, very upset, slammed her chopsticks down and went to the restroom.
Blaine Welsh merely smiled, slightly bowing toward Eleanor, then glanced at Alexander, who stood calmly nearby, and prepared to leave with his entourage.Old Mr. Marshall, not wanting to miss this opportunity, quickly rushed forward, saying: “Chairman Welsh, did you personally bring this contract?"Blaine finally acknowledged Old Mr. Marshall, smiling: “Ah, Old Mr. Marshall, yes, after careful consideration, I believe your company’s business philosophy aligns well with Welsh Max. Moreover, I’ve looked into Ms. Marshall, and she’s quite capable, so congratulations."As he spoke, Blaine extended his hand.Old Mr. Marshall, in a daze, shook Blaine’s hand, his mind reeling.After that, Blaine didn’t stay long and quickly took his leave.The atmosphere in the hall finally eased, and everyone stared at Eleanor, who was still holding the contract.She... she actually did it!Eleanor was still in a daze, her mind buzzing.Suddenly, she recalled what Alexander had said to her—that the contract
When she returned home, Valeria brushed off all the frustration from the party, expressing her excitement and joy: “Oh, my daughter is so talented, securing a contract with the Welsh Max Corporation. Such a lucrative deal gives our family hope."Rodger was sitting on the sofa, brewing warm tea, smiling silently."Hey, Rodger, what do you think the old man means by this? Last time, he agreed that if Eleanor secured the contract, she would get the vice president position. Now, he's going back on his word. What's this about?" Valeria suddenly recalled the party and felt dissatisfied.Rodger sighed and said: “Didn't you see? The vice president position has long been decided to go to Tommy. Our Eleanor doesn't stand a chance. After all, the Eco Vision Pharmaceutical company will be handed over to Tommy eventually.""How can that be! He clearly agreed in front of so many people. How can he go back on his word?" Valeria was anxious."Then go talk to the old man.” Rodger said.This...Valeria
At the same time, Eleanor was in her office, quickly scrolling through the messages in the group chat, clenching her fists tightly.She angrily smashed her phone, wanting to explain, but a series of typed words ended up being deleted in frustration.Afterward, she cried bitterly at her desk for a while before calming down to continue her work.Some things, the more she cares about them, the more she refutes, but others believe it even more.Just then, Laurie suddenly burst into the office, holding a stack of documents."These documents need your signature.” Laurie coldly said. Her position in the company wasn't high, just the head of the marketing team, and she had to seek Eleanor's approval for everything, which made her very unhappy."Oh, right, your daughter's birthday is on the 23rd. That useless Alexander won't be able to celebrate it with that poor girl."Laurie mocked: “I heard that a rich guy has rented the largest and most luxurious hotel in Golden Harbor to celebrate his dau
Inside the Marshall family company, all the family members and senior company leaders were furious. If it weren't for Alexander and Eleanor, they wouldn't be the laughingstock of others.The Marshall family had almost gone into hiding for the past few days, even the elder chose to recuperate in the old house.In previous years, around these two days, the Marshall family would have been preparing a grand birthday celebration for Mary, but this time was different."Damn it! If it weren't for Eleanor and Alexander, our Marshall family wouldn't have to face such humiliation!""That Alexander is a disgrace to men, he should just die! Take that illegitimate child with him!""Eleanor is also a jinx. Because of her, we've had to endure criticism and ridicule from others."A group of young members of the Marshall family gathered together, angrily discussing, as if they wanted to tear Alexander and Eleanor apart!Tommy simply smirked, a look of anticipation on his face."Tommy, what are you smi
The 23rd finally arrived.The day that shook Golden Harbor had come.On this day, the entire media of Golden Harbor flocked to Skyline early in the day to prepare.At eight o'clock in the evening, as night fell, Skyline was brightly lit, becoming the most dazzling focal point of the city!Dozens of nearby streets were also aglow with neon lights, and the crowd surged, causing traffic jams for a time. People swarmed to Skyline to witness the spectacle, to catch a glimpse of the mysterious billionaire who had booked the entire Skyline for the night!Even the hotels and shopping centers nearby were packed with people, all holding their phones, eagerly awaiting the spectacle to unfold.Because tonight, Skyline had spent a fortune to create an open-air crystal palace on its rooftop, like a blooming white rose. The sparkling glass and roses on the ground created a dreamlike scene that every woman in the city envied.Tonight, in the White Rose Crystal Palace, where the white light illuminate
Inside the crystal white rose palace, after the initial emotions had settled, Eleanor looked seriously at Alexander and asked: “Did you prepare all of this?”Holding Mary, Alexander turned to look at Eleanor, knowing she would ask this question. He replied: “Yes, but I also relied on someone else's favor. When the mysterious billionaire didn't show up initially, I contacted the owner of Skyline, and they let me rent it for an hour.”Hearing this explanation, Eleanor felt a sense of relief, realizing she had been worried for nothing.“Eleanor, I'm truly sorry. These past four years have caused you so much suffering. But from today onward, I, Alexander Reynolds, will never let anyone look down on you again. I will also make sure Mary calls me ‘Dad’ in front of everyone!” Alexander said, looking at Eleanor with sincere determination.Eleanor's face had been stained with tears and seemed to have all the pain and grievances from the past dissolved in that very moment.“Alexander, do you kn
Back home, Valeria was already waiting in the living room. Seeing Eleanor and Alexander approach one after the other, she finally pointed at Alexander and shouted: “Alexander, where did you take my daughter? You know what today is, and you still took her out. Do you want to disgrace our family?!”Alexander tried to explain: “Mother, you misunderstood. I took Eleanor to…”“Shut up! Since you’re both here, I’ll make this clear once and for all!” Valeria, exuding a cold aura, sat on the sofa, pulling out the household register and marriage certificate, slamming them on the coffee table: “Tomorrow, no matter what, you two are getting divorced!”Valeria had endured enough of her useless son-in-law, Alexander. Today, her old friends had mocked her again.“Mother, what’s wrong with you? I won’t divorce Alexander. Don’t you know, today he took me and Mary to…” Eleanor quickly tried to explain.But Valeria interrupted her, with a cold expression, in a posture that said she wouldn’t listen to a
