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
Alexander pulled out his phone and sent a message to Sherman, asking him to have a lawyer draft a trap-laden contract.Alexander had no intention of handing over all the property documents to the Marshall family. He wanted them to sign a transfer agreement, with a cleverly hidden trap clause.Sherman quickly replied, asking for specific requirements for the contract, but Alexander only sent a simple message: "Just set up a deadly trap in the contract."After reading Alexander’s message, Sherman pondered for a moment, then reached out to top domestic and international lawyers to draft the contract.After a period of intense work, the contract terms were sent to Alexander’s email.Alexander read the contract, then stopped by a nearby print shop to have it printed.Once the contract was printed, he called Sherman: “Any news from Queen Master lately?""Queen Master has gathered many close subordinates for a meeting, as if planning something very secretive. Word is she’ll arrive in Golden
After a moment’s thought, Rubin felt he had a plan to complete his mission. He closed his eyes and began to think things through carefully.After a while, Rubin opened his eyes and called his assistant."In the name of the corporation, organize a banquet at Golden Harbor. Invite notable figures from Golden Harbor—only those who live in Golden Harbor qualify, others aren’t quite up to par. Focus on inviting prominent figures and the young elite of the provincial capital. For Golden Harbor, we just need a few people as background figures."After giving his instructions, Rubin added: “Send an invitation first to Ms. Eleanor Marshall and Young Master Alexander Reynolds. Make sure it’s delivered to their company.""Understood, I’ll get on it right away."The assistant quickly followed Rubin’s orders. After hanging up, he began arranging everything, sending invitations to notable figures and the elite with the right qualifications.Rubin put his phone away, started his car, and muttered to
“Hmph! Just hand over the land to the family, what’s with the contract? Do you have some ulterior motive?” Tommy said suspiciously.“Feel free to read the contract first, we can discuss it afterward.” Alexander said calmly.Mr. Marshall picked up a copy, while Walden grabbed another, reviewing it along with a few others.It looked like a standard transfer agreement, with a few additional clauses that seemed harmless—indeed, it granted the Marshall family free use of the land, and even transferred ownership to a new Marshall company.Latest Chapter
