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. Tommy had said it offhandedly, but Laurie took it to heart. After a quick glance around, she took out her phone and made several calls.“Merrick Phillips will be there. Merrick is the beloved son of Mr. Phillips, the wealthiest man in Golden Harbor. I’ve asked my best friend to tip him off, and I’m sure he’ll give that useless guy a lesson. It’s just a pity I won’t get to see it myself.” Laurie said bitterly.Tommy tilted his head to look at Laurie and, after a brief thought, said: “Is your best friend going with Merrick?”“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have any way of connecting with Merrick.” Laurie replied with a hint of pride.Her best friend’s connection with Merrick Phillips indirectly elevated Laurie’s status, making her feel a cut above others, as there weren’t many in Golden Harbor who could establish ties with the Phillips family.“Maybe you could ask your friend to livestream a bit, send us a video, so we can watch it on the phone.” Tommy suggested eagerly.“Good idea! Let me cOnce I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 292: Beat Until Unrecognizable.
Merrick was momentarily stunned, feeling a flicker of hesitation. Alexander’s calm, offhand demeanor made Merrick suspect he might indeed have some kind of trump card.Merrick thought for a moment and decided to use Norwood’s name to intimidate Alexander."Fine. Young Master Parks from the provincial capital is coming to avenge Young Master Silva. Don’t get cocky today. If you obediently kneel before me now and crawl to see Young Master Parks, I might let you live.""Young Master Parks? Who’s that? Never heard of him.” Alexander replied coolly.Merrick and his friends were all shocked at Alexander’s arrogance, speaking of Norwood as if he were a nobody.“Haha, you’re tough, aren’t you? Just wait till I call Young Master Parks to deal with you.” Merrick said, turning and leaving without hesitation."Merrick, are we really just going to leave?" one of the young masters asked, unwilling.“If you want to go back and fight him, go ahead. Do you think you can take him? Didn’t you see how he
While Norwood was feeling triumphant, Rubin observed him through the camera, a glint of interest in his eyes.“Perfect, someone jumped in willingly to play the villain—inviting him was worth it.” Rubin mused, standing up and gesturing to his subordinates. Surrounded by them like a star, he stepped out of the room.He had orchestrated everything, waiting for someone to clash with Alexander. As soon as conflict arose, Rubin could swoop in, rescue Alexander like a knight saving a princess, and gain the trust of Alexander and his wife.Rubin believed his plan was flawless, leaving no room for error.As Norwood, revived with fresh energy, gathered his cronies and the other Young Masters to encircle Alexander and Eleanor, preparing to strike, Rubin and his team appeared.“Stop! What do you think you’re doing?” Rubin shouted loudly.At his command, a group of guards, like fierce dogs unleashed, charged toward Norwood’s gang, batons sparking with electricity.“Mind your own business! This is
Since birth, these young elites had never suffered such disgrace. Once they reached the villa’s entrance, their frustration boiled over.“That scum! They may look human, but they act like dogs. People like them should be dealt with!”“When we get hold of them, we’ll torment them to death. No, that’s not enough—we should just kill them outright. Mr. Parks, I’ll contact those gangsters we called. Let’s see where they are now.”One of the young masters took out his phone and made a call, his face lighting up after a few words.“Mr. Parks, they’re here, just 20 kilometers away at an abandoned warehouse under renovation. Should we go meet them?”“Of course! Everyone, get in your cars, we’re going!” Norwood was eager, already imagining leading the gangsters back here to demonstrate his power.At the very least, he was one of the “Four Young Masters” of the province! Not just some nobody to be humiliated.Norwood’s thoughts seethed with fury.Engines roared to life as the young masters revve
