Hi readers, Change the surname from Arturo Reynolds to Arturo Lee to make it easier to distinguish between Alexander and Arturo’s surnames.
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
As soon as the call connected, Marvin immediately smiled: “Auntie.""Marvin, what’s going on? Has Alexander taken you to meet the head of Eleanor Missing yet?" Valeria asked anxiously."Not yet!"Valeria immediately sat up, her anger flaring as she cursed Alexander internally: “What is that useless man doing? What exactly happened with you all?""Auntie, don’t worry. Here’s the situation: we had a bit of a disagreement with Alexander earlier, and now he’s gone into the chairman’s office at Eleanor Missing but didn’t let us go in."Valeria let out a sigh of relief, her previously anxious heart calming down: “Is that all? That useless man—how could he just leave you waiting outside like this? What is he even trying to do?"Marvin was stunned for a moment, he also didn’t know what Alexander was planning, but he was sure that Alexander was making things difficult for them."I think he’s trying to get back at us, and now I’m out of options. Auntie, please call Alexander and ask him to help
He was sure that when Alexander entered this office, it had been empty, but since his arrival, the president of Eleanor Missing had appeared.Marvin felt like he had uncovered the truth, his entire body shaking even more. If Alexander really was the owner of Eleanor Missing, this business deal would likely vanish completely."Do you... do you know Alexander? He just came in, but now he’s nowhere to be seen?" Marvin asked weakly, stammering due to his nerves."Why do you think you can't see him?" Alexander asked, smiling.Alexander didn't hide his voice, speaking in his usual tone, and now that Marvin heard Alexander's voice, he found it strikingly familiar, confirming his frightening suspicions.But why would Alexander be the person behind Eleanor Missing?Isn't he supposed to be a spineless man who clings to women?How could someone supposedly spineless invest six trillion?Whoever could afford six trillion was considered extraordinarily wealthy in Golden Harbor. But whoever they mig
Alexander sat in his office for a while before receiving a call from Eleanor.“What’s up, honey? Missing me already?” Alexander asked with a smile.“Who’d miss you? It’s that Rubin Vick guy—he’s come to the company again, wanting to discuss the partnership in detail. The uncles… want to build a factory on the land gifted by the people from Stormwatch. I think you should come by for a bit.” Eleanor said, not daring to make decisions about the land alone.Alexander chuckled and replied: “Alright, I’ll be right there.”In the Marshall family company’s conference room.Walden and Rubin sat at the head of the table, while Eleanor, Tommy, and Rubin’s assistant sat along the sides.With a smile, Rubin said: “To ensure smooth cooperation, we need to renegotiate several detailed terms. I’ll have my assistant read our side’s requirements.”Rubin’s assistant stood up with a folder: “First, our side wants to emphasize that all cooperation must revolve around Ms. Eleanor Marshall. Should she cease
