Seeing Tommy, Cisco glared at him in fury: “What cooperation! I have internal issues to resolve. Once I’m done, I’ll deal with that useless Alexander."
"And if you don’t make that man kneel before me next time, don’t even think about discussing cooperation again!"
Tommy stood frozen as Cisco left. He had thought he could gain favor and become the brightest member of the Marshall family, but reality had dealt him a painful slap.
After regaining his senses, Tommy directed all his anger at Alexander; if it weren’t for Alexander, Cisco wouldn’t have left!

After Alexander and Eleanor left the company, they drove leisurely down the road.“Alexander, I just feel like everything isn’t real. Why would those real estate moguls gift us such a large plot of land?” Eleanor said, feeling somewhat bewildered.“It’s not that big, only about 500 acres. It’s not nearly enough to build a few high-rises.” Alexander replied casually.“You sound like a real estate tycoon! What do you mean, ‘only 500 acres’? Such a large piece of land is useless to us. The uncles are bound to be watching us like hawks, they might even stir up trouble later.” Eleanor expressed her concern, worried that it could bring further turmoil at home. Besides, with such a large piece of land, she didn’t have the capital to expand the factory.“No rush. Today they’re giving us land, maybe tomorrow, someone will give us factories and equipment. It’ll all come in time.” Alexander said with a smile, then looked out the window: “Let’s go visit Mary and check with the doctor about her con
Alexander applied a bit of force with his foot, pushing the old woman off. The chubby boy looked wide-eyed in the direction his grandmother was thrown, suddenly frightened.Just as the boy was about to release his grip, Alexander’s other leg lifted, sending him rolling to the ground like a tumbling ball, stopping only when he reached his grandmother.The constant rolling left the chubby boy dizzy, stars spinning before his eyes.Ignoring her pain, the old woman got up and carefully checked on her grandson.Eleanor stepped out of the shop, glanced at the distant old lady and boy, and asked, slightly puzzled: “What happened to them?”"Nothing, let’s go get tickets.” Alexander replied, carrying Mary as he walked with Eleanor to the ticket booth.Mary wrapped her arms around Alexander’s neck, whispering in his ear: “Dad, you’re amazing! You looked just like a superhero.”“Hahaha, I am a superhero. Soon, I’ll fly high with you, Mary.” Alexander laughed happily.Watching Alexander’s family b
One of the guards, eager to curry favor with Arturo, turned and intercepted Mary, lifting her up.In the guard’s arms, Mary struggled fiercely, slapping him on the shoulders, neck, and face. She even scratched his face with her nails in the chaos.The guard, his face twisted in anger, raised his hand to slap Mary: “You little brat! Are you trying to get yourself killed? You scratched my face!”“No, let go of my daughter!”Eleanor, seeing the guard about to hit Mary, screamed hoarsely, trying to rush forward to save her.The guards stepped in, blocking Eleanor’s path.“You’re asking for it!”Alexander’s eyes went cold. He moved forward quickly, shoving aside the guards in his way.The guard holding Mary raised his hand to slap her, and Mary squeezed her eyes shut, calling out for her dad.Just as Mary felt the wind from the guard’s hand about to strike, Alexander grabbed the guard’s wrist.Then, he squeezed, crushing the guard’s wrist.“Agh!”The guard screamed in agony as Alexander pul
The chubby boy pouted, shouting angrily: “Dad, are you even a man? Hurry up and take that girl for me, then beat her dad to death! That way, she’ll be mine forever!”With a mother who caused trouble and a son who endangered him, Arturo felt like he was on the brink of despair. He realized his mother and son were clueless about the severity of the situation, and if they kept this up, it would be a collective death sentence for the family.Arturo’s lackeys, now pale and terrified, hastily dropped their sticks and huddled together, crouching with their hands over their heads.“Young Master Reynolds, we’re sorry! We were forced by Arturo, we didn’t want to harm you.”“We’re all decent people, forced by Arturo! Please believe us!” Arturo’s men groveled in apology, terrified of being dragged into the mess any further.The old lady finally sensed something was wrong, her eyes revealing a hint of fear.Joshua approached Alexander and bowed respectfully at a twenty-degree angle: “Young Master
“Mom, why are you driving Alexander away? I don’t know any mysterious Young Master Reynolds, and you shouldn’t believe such rumors.” Eleanor responded decisively.Valeria smiled knowingly, as if she understood everything: “Oh, Eleanor, I know you’re shy and don’t want this useless man to know you’ve climbed the social ladder.”“But sooner or later, he’ll find out, so don’t worry. If he dares to make trouble, your father and I are here to keep him in check.”Eleanor, frustrated, wanted to refute her mother’s assumptions, but she knew arguing would only make things worse, possibl
Early in the morning, Lucas Jones, Steve Jones, and Marvin Jones sat in the main house."Big brother, today I wish you success in winning the favor of that mysterious and wealthy Young Master Reynolds. If so, the Jones family can rise up from here on out." Lucas eagerly flattered Marvin.Steve felt a bit uncomfortable, the stronger the first branch became, the less he would get in the future.Hiding his calculations, Steve smiled and said: “Big brother, you have to treat cousin Eleanor well this time. After all, she has a slight connection with that mysterious rich man.""Haha."Marvin sneered: “That's just Aunt exaggerating. Do you know what she told me on the phone yesterday?""What did she say? Did she say Eleanor has no connection with that mysterious wealthy man?" Steve asked."Something like that. Then she even said her useless son-in-law would go with me. I feel this is unreliable, probably just another wasted day." Marvin shook his head.Lucas slammed the table, thinking of ho
Marvin was near his wit’s end: “Mr. Sims, at least give us a rough timeframe. If you suddenly tell us to start tomorrow, where would I find people and equipment on such short notice?”“What do you want me to do about it? Even I can’t meet with our boss whenever I want. If you’re so capable, go find him yourself.”Marvin regained his composure, eyeing the phone on Leonidas’s desk: “Could you call Young Master Reynolds and explain our situation? We’re truly in a bind.”“He’s not in the office, so who do you want me to call? I don’t even have his private number. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to wait outside his office.”Leonidas shook his head, closing the file and tossing it aside. The monotony of recent weeks had started to wear on him, too.“Let me be blunt with you: our boss is incredibly wealthy, and the Eleanor Missing investment is just a game for him, something he barely cares about. He may have already forgotten about it, and construction will start only when it crosse
Alexander gave Marvin and his brothers an amused look before heading toward the CEO’s office door.Kipling quickly stepped forward, swiped his access card to unlock the door, and gestured for Alexander to enter.Marvin’s eyes widened, and as he tried to follow Alexander inside, Kipling turned and kicked him squarely in the stomach, sending him flying back several meters."Ow! My stomach!"Marvin clutched his stomach as he lay on the floor, feeling as though he’d narrowly escaped death from that kick.Kipling closed the chairman’s office door and coldly said: “Daring to barge into our chairman’s office—are you tired of living?”"Hey! If that worthless man can go in, then why can’t my brother?" Lucas helped Marvin up, coldly questioning Kipling."Who do you think you are to compare with him? He’s a radiant moon, and you’re nothing but fireflies, completely unworthy of comparison." Kipling said with a smug expression.Lucas was about to say something else, but Marvin held up his hand, gr
