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

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.

    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.

    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

    Regarding Alexander, early in the morning, he also went to work.As soon as he stepped into the store, he could feel the unusual glances from the surrounding staff, with everyone pointing at him.Although Alexander felt a bit uneasy, he remained calm, silently picking up the duty roster for the day, changing his clothes, and sitting in the employee lounge, waiting for a client to call his name."Oh, Alexander still dares to come to work, not afraid of losing face, huh?""Haha, what does he have left to lose? His dignity is long gone! Just think about how miserable his wife must feel after last night’s incident at Skyline, it must have been quite a blow to her!""A worthless person is just that—a useless person. Having someone like him in our store is such a disgrace. If it were me, I would have quit long ago!"A group of men in white uniforms and women in pink uniforms pointed at Alexander, whispering among themselves, their words full of mockery.Alexander could only shake his head i

    Alexander hurriedly explained: “Manager, I didn’t do anything. She’s falsely accusing me.""Shut up! Why would Ms. Miles falsely accuse someone like you for no reason?" Armand barked, then turned and fawned over Tracie, smiling obsequiously: “Ms. Miles, don’t worry. I will deal with this trash properly!"Tracie arrogantly nodded, her eyes gleaming with malice as she looked at Alexander: “Do you understand now what happens when you cross me? Someone like you, a worthless nobody, has no right to even appear in front of me!"Armand sensing Tracie's seething anger towards Alexander, eagerly joined in, pointing at Alexander and yelling: “I don't care what your excuse is, Alexander. Right now, you will bow your head and apologize to Ms. Miles! And then, get the hell out of here!"At this moment, Armand was boiling with rage.

    The group attempted to close in on Alexander, limiting his movements. They knew that if he maintained this level of speed, they were in serious trouble.“You think you can corner me? Not with your pathetic skills.” Alexander sneered.As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure blurred, darting among them like a phantom. The burly men barely had time to react before it was too late. His speed far outstripped their reflexes.Bam! Bam! Bam!A rapid series of impacts echoed through the yard. From the first man sent flying backward to the last one, less than three seconds had passed.In those fleeting moments, Alexander landed over a dozen blows,

    Kolby stopped in his tracks, staring at Michal’s dramatic surrender, and laughed, shaking his fists: “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t even thrown a punch yet, and you’re already giving up? You’re way too cooperative.”Michal, looking like he was on the verge of tears, replied: “What else can I do? I don’t want to get hit. Just treat me like a fart and forget about me.”“Damn, with courage like yours, how are you even a boss? This is hilarious. Hey, you over there.” Kolby pointed at Alexander: “Step up and take a punch from me. When I swing, you fall backward dramatically. That way, I’ll go easy on you and won’t kill you in one blow.”Kolby laughed as he demonstrated a falling motion: “Watch closely. Make sure you fall back like this. It’ll make me look cooler. Those Tai Chi masters on video do it like this, and I want to experience it for myself.”Alexander smiled and nodded, playing along: “Alright, as you wish. I’ll make sure you have the best experience possible.”“Now you’re talk

    The burly man at the door grinned and said: “You guys sure got here quickly. It’s not even 20 minutes. You must live nearby?”“Not really—70 kilometers away. If my guy here hadn’t driven like a maniac, we wouldn’t have made it. I was shaken up so badly, I almost threw up.” Michal replied, leaning against the wall and miming a retch, his performance impeccable.The burly man, clearly annoyed by Michal’s retching, waved them in impatiently: “Get yourself together. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the boss.”He gestured for them to enter. Because of Michal’s convincing act, the man didn’t bother scrutinizing Alexander.Michal stole a nervous glance at Alexander, gritting his teeth before stepping inside. At this point, there was no turning back. He had already bet everything on Alexander.Tome sat on a swing, swirling a glass of red wine as he turned to look at Money Brightens Eyes beside him.Dressed in a crimson robe, Money Brightens Eyes exuded an air of elegance.

    Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv

    Whoosh! Whoosh!The Mercedes-Benz SUV shot past the Lamborghini like an arrow, its immense air pressure rocking the Lamborghini to the side like a leaf swaying in the wind.“Holy shit! It overtook me! Its speed has definitely surpassed 240 mph—I think it’s hitting over 260 mph!” Justine exclaimed in panic.For Justine, 260 mph wasn’t an unusual speed. F1 races regularly hit such velocities, and even Nico’s Bugatti Veyron could easily reach 280 or 300 mph.But for an SUV to achieve such speeds was beyond anything Justine had seen or heard of. SUVs typically participated in endurance challenges, prioritizing rugged terrain capabilities over outright speed.Hearing Justine’s report on the Mercedes-Benz, the other wealthy racers fell silent.The Porsche supercar just ahead of Justine also noticed the menacing approach of the Mercedes-Benz.“I see it too. It’s overtaking me. My current speed is 265 mph.” the Porsche driver reported.Ryon, listening for a while, grew increasingly agitated:

    Michal stared at the new message on his phone, his face twisted with dread: “Boss, Tome's guys didn’t give an exact time. They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately

    “Tome again.” Alexander muttered: “Seems that bastard keeps causing me trouble. Do you have a meeting set with him? I’d like to join.”Michal hesitated, his heart sinking. Of all the luck, he had to run into someone like Alexander, who now intended to provoke Tome. This wouldn’t end well for anyone.“Boss, how about I give you Tome’s number? You can contact him yourself. I’ll take my men and leave. We won’t step foot in Golden Harbor again.”Michal didn’t want to get involved between Alexander and Tome. No matter how things turned out between the two, Michal was certain his own ending wouldn’t be favorable. The best option now was to slip away quickly.

    Lyle's face turned red with rage, humiliated by the demand."It looks like you don’t want to apologize. Fine, don’t apologize then, but this is an insult to my people!" Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..." Lyle spat blood, stumbling out of the room.He made his way back to the room, where Michal was waiting. Seeing Lyle's swollen face, Michal’s expression darkened."Lyle, what happened? I asked you to escort the two women, but you come back looking like this? Where are the others?" Michal asked in frustration."Mr. Michal, we were attacked. The others were knocked out, and I was th

    Gabriel nodded, pulling out his phone to make a call. After a brief conversation filled with convincing, he finally persuaded Money Brightens Eyes to come and deal with Alexander.“Young Master Tome, my junior brother has agreed to come, but he wants 600 million upfront. He insists on receiving half in advance before he brings his people over.”“600 million? That’s nothing. Give me his account details right now—I’ll transfer the money immediately. Tell him to get here as quickly as possible!” Tome snapped, pulling out his phone. With a fierce and impatient demeanor, he swiftly transferred the money to Money Brightens Eyes.Gabriel made another call to confirm, then gave Tome an “OK” gesture.“He’s on his way. He should arrive tonight or early tomorrow morning. By tomorrow, we can deal with Alexander.”“Hahaha, excellent! I’ll rest tonight so I can enjoy tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Alexander killed—and when it’s over, I’ll stomp on his corpse!” Tome said arrogantly as he retreated to
