After warning them, he turned to Eleanor: “I have to handle something. Stay at the office, and call if you need me.”“Alright, be safe.” Eleanor said, not pressing him with more questions as she watched him leave.Walden and the others, frustrated, began shouting at Eleanor once Alexander had left. But Eleanor ignored them completely, leaving them yelling in futility.Alexander drove to Misty Ridge Village. As he approached the village gate, he spotted the warehouse in the distance. Outside, a group of rough-looking young men stood around, some sitting as they talked. Alexander felt relieved—Thorne was still unharmed. He sent a text to Thorne and, after receiving a response, began walking toward the warehouse.Not far from the building, four thugs were hanging around, smoking and laughing as they casually waved their knives.As Alexander approached, one of them pointed his knife at him and said rudely: “Stay there. Can’t you see we’re busy?”“I’m here to find someone.” Alexander repli
The gang raised their blades, eager to impress Xavi: “Talking back to Mr. Xavi, huh? Think you’re some high and mighty martial artist? You’re going to end up chopped into pieces.”“You’re going to regret this, punk. Soon enough, you’ll be begging for mercy.” they snarled, each one tightening their grip on their blades, ready to lunge.Xavi crossed his arms smugly, watching his men swarm Alexander like a tidal wave. He was certain Alexander would soon be at his feet. He began to imagine how he would humiliate this poor fool afterward. Make him kneel and beg, maybe spit on him and stomp on his face a few times for good measure. At the Marshall residence, the conference room was filled with smoke.Sigmund, Walden, and Tommy each held a cigarette, having reached out to everyone they could, yet no one could help the Marshall family. A dark cloud of crisis hung over the family, like a boat adrift in a storm, ready to capsize at any moment.“What did Eleanor say? Did Laurie manage to ask her anything?" Sigmund asked in a deep tone. They couldn’t even identify their enemy, despite Walden’s best efforts to dig up any information, nothing had come up.It was as if fate itself had decreed that the Marshall family would collapse this time.Walden shook his head, taking a frustrated drag of his cigarette: “Nothing, Eleanor didn’t say a thing. I don’t know what she’s thinking." Silence filled the room once more, each Marshall family member feeling as if they were about to be swallowed by destiny at any second.“This is crap. Who’s the bastard behind all of this?” Tommy roared in anger.Ring ring ring. The desk phone rOnce I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 259: Coming To The House To Demand A Blood Debt.
Eleanor looked around nervously, feeling like she was in a pit full of devils, surrounded by dark creatures ready to consume her.Seeing her hesitation, Laurie walked over, grabbed Eleanor's phone, and started calling Alexander: “Give me back my phone! Don’t call Alexander!"“Like hell I will! If you don’t want me to call that bastard, do you want to see the Marshall family destroyed? You’re such a disgrace!”Laurie cursed at Eleanor and then shouted into the phone as it connected: “Alexander, if you don’t come back, your wife is going to cheat on you! Hahaha.""Eleanor, how is she? I’m warning you all, if anyone so much as touches a single hair on Eleanor’s head, I’ll make sure none of you get out alive!" Alexander’s furious voice came through the phone. Laurie scoffed: “How dare you act tough in this situation? The people you offended in Stormwatch have come to settle the score, and our family is about to be ruined because of you two. If you don’t come back, we’ll sell Eleanor off!
Riker smirked with satisfaction: “Alexander, this is your last chance. If you don’t seize it, the consequences will be beyond your imagination."Eleanor gripped Alexander’s hand tightly, giving his palm a gentle squeeze."Elder uncle, even if you force Alexander and me to apologize, they still won’t spare the Marshall family. Why can’t you see that?”“Nonsense!”Walden slammed the table, pointing at Alexander and Eleanor as he roared: “If it weren’t for the two of you, none of this would be happening. Now you’re trying to dodge responsibility? Don’t even think about it!”"Quit the act and apologize to Mr. Riker right now! No amount of talking will change things. You two injured Mr. Riker and his friends. Start apologizing!""Eleanor, you’ve slept around before! It’s not like Alexander hasn’t been cheated on! Stop pretending here and just go entertain Mr. Riker while Alexander makes himself scarce!"Eleanor glared at Laurie, trembling with rage: “Watch your mouth! That’s a lie!""Lie?
Sigmund was taken aback. They had barged into the Marshall family’s headquarters, yet claimed they weren’t here for the family? What a joke!"Then, may I ask who you’re looking for?" Sigmund asked in bewilderment."Clear the way."Primo commanded coolly, and the guards parted like a wave, revealing a path forward.Walden and Sigmund scrutinized Primo carefully, realizing they didn’t recognize him.But judging by Primo’s attire, they concluded that he was no ordinary man.Hiring a team of guards was not difficult—many wealthy individuals could afford a squad. But Primo’s sophisticated style was unmistakable, signaling a refinement beyond what nouveau riche could achieve. True aristocracy took time to cultivate, a depth that money alone couldn’t buy.Primo straightened his clothes, adopting a more serious expression as he stepped forward along the path formed by the guards, stopping at the meeting room door.Frowning at Walden and Sigmund, who were blocking his way, Primo said irritably
Seeing someone actually rolling in, Riker and his men were slightly surprised, then burst into laughter."Where did this brat find an actor like this? A real performer! When told to roll in, he actually rolls! I need to hire actors like this in the future; they’d make perfect partners.""Doing something like this for money, it’s shameless. And to think this coward is the head of the Silva family—it's just hilarious.""How much does it cost to hire someone like this? I’ll pay ten times as much if you crawl over here and bark like a dog."Riker’s group ridiculed Primo, and all of Primo’s inner anger redirected towards them.“Young Master Reynolds, I’ve rolled in. These people were disrespectful to you; please allow me to teach them a lesson on your behalf.” Primo said sincerely, still in his rolling position.Alexander smiled: “Your attitude is decent; get up. I’ll leave them to you.”“Thank you, Young Master Reynolds. I’ll make sure to teach them a good lesson.”Primo breathed a sigh o
Riker froze, lowering his head in submission.“Young Master Reynolds, what would you like us to do with them next?” Primo asked respectfully.“They’re just insects. My wife is merciful, she dislikes killing. You can go.”Alexander said lightly.Eleanor cast a sidelong glance at Alexander, barely holding back a smile.Riker and his group, visibly relieved, scrambled to their feet, bowing as they mumbled: “Thank you, thank you, Youn
