Upon hearing this, Laurie’s parents, Sigmund Marshall and Meagan Reyes, immediately excitedly rushed over, pulling their daughter aside and saying: “Oh, Laurie, is what you said true? That wealthy young master from the Reynolds family is interested in you?"Tommy, standing to the side, his expression uncertain, intentionally sneered: “If he hasn't shown himself, how do you know him?"What's this?Trying to take the upper hand?Does she think that by doing this, Grandfather will value her more?Hmph!Tommy was feeling uncomfortable!Laurie coldly glanced at Tommy and arrogantly said: “You should know me - who Laurie is, one of the four golden flowers of Golden Harbor."Because of this, no one dared to continue doubting Laurie's words.Indeed, Laurie had more contact with rich young masters than they did, and she was also well-known in Golden Harbor."Well done, well done, the wealthy young master from the Reynolds family is interested in our Laurie. Our family is about to rise, Laurie
At that moment, Eleanor looked up, her face streaked with tears, and cried: “Mom, that’s enough. I won't divorce Alexander. I’ve been married to him for four years, and if I divorce him now, how can I hold my head high?"Eleanor didn’t want to get a divorce. She had once loved the confident and charming Alexander.But those memories were in the past, and they could never return."Not getting a divorce? How can you even think of staying with him? What’s so good about that loser? Didn’t you see Laurie’s arrogant attitude today? She’s about to become a phoenix, while what about you? How will you live your life?" Valeria scolded, her face twisted with anger.It was all because of that useless Alexander!Eleanor sobbed bitterly, shouting: “Mom, please stop. I don’t want this either, but... but I love him, and even if he never accomplishes anything in his life, I’ve accepted that!"This was an issue Eleanor had always avoided.But today, with Valeria bringing it up, she couldn’t avoid it an
Rodger sat on the sofa, sipped his tea, and chimed in: “It's not that easy. The E-Missing Corporation has closed its doors to visitors. Even the top pharmaceutical companies in Golden Harbor are camping outside, waiting for a chance. We don't have an invitation."Hearing this, Valeria grew frustrated. She stomped on Rodger's foot and snapped: “Rodger, will you die if you don't pour cold water on everything? I'm just thinking about what's best for our family. Our daughter is beautiful and capable. Why can't she negotiate a deal?"Rodger nodded fearfully and fell silent.Valeria glared at him before turning back to Eleanor with a smile: “Eleanor, what do you think?"Eleanor, so exhausted, pushed her hair back and replied: “I'd like to, but Grandpa and Tommy would never let me go. In their eyes, I'm nothing."Valeria sighed, feeling dejected. Indeed, to Grandpa, Eleanor was nothing.With the E-Missing Corporation investing in such a major pharmaceutical enterprise, how could Grandpa let
Alexander remained silent, clenching his fists, showing his feelings through his eyes.Smack!Tracie slapped Alexander hard across the face, pointing at him as she spat: “Trash! A worthless piece of garbage like you dares to threaten me? I am the Director of Public Relations at Welsh Max Corporation. What do you think you have that compares to me?""So what if you’re the Marshall’s son-in-law? You’re nothing more than a dog Eleanor keeps around, and you actually think you deserve respect?"Tracie ranted like a bitter woman, her words filled with malice.Alexander's expression changed, feeling wronged after receiving the slap, anger boiling inside him.He said: “So what if you're the Director of Public Relations? Do you believe that with just one word from me, you’ll be fired?"Tracie laughed, almost choking on her laughter.This foolish Alexander, how could he say something so absurd?One word, and she’d be fired?Tracie stepped forward and kicked Alexander in the knee, cursing: “Tras
Without looking at Quinton’s face which had turned as bitter as a gourd, Alexander walked straight into Welsh Max.Blaine hurried to follow.Tracie felt like she had just emerged from water, her legs weak. She watched Alexander’s receding figure, breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried to catch up to him.A group of people followed Alexander respectfully.All the lower-level staff at Welsh Max stood up, respectfully calling out: “Young Master Reynolds.” accompanied by a murmur of discussions.Tracie followed closely, now very earnest, clicking her high heels as she ran after him.Welsh Max was indeed impressive.The interior decor was grand, imposing, and luxurious.Soon, they reached the top floor, the chairman’s office.Alexander, who had been here before, walked straight in and sat on the sofa."Young Master Reynolds.” Tracie said, bringing a freshly brewed coffee to Alexander and bowing respectfully as she handed it to him.As she did, she deliberately loosened her collar a bit.A
Tommy Marshall now felt his scalp tingling with fear, his heart filled with anger because of Blaine's final words. Blaine's statement was a clear warning: the Welsh Max Corporation didn't have to choose the Marshall family.What should he do?If the partnership failed because of him, his grandfather would never forgive him!Tommy was growing increasingly anxious. Did he really need to involve that lowly Eleanor?At that moment, Alexander stood up and walked out of the office.Seeing that staying any longer would be pointless, Tommy forced a smile at Blaine before leaving as well.On the ground floor of the Welsh Max Corporation, Tommy stormed over to Alexander, grabbed his collar, and angrily warned: “Alexander, I don’t care what tricks you pull, but let me tell you this—the Welsh Max partnership is mine! If you think you can steal it for that lowly Eleanor, there’s no way!"Alexander’s gaze turned cold. He pried Tommy’s hand off his collar with a quick twist, causing Tommy to cry out
At that moment, Murray suddenly received a phone call. After hanging up, he said in a deep voice to everyone: “No need to wait anymore. The person has arrived."Arrived?Many were skeptical, feeling a rising sense of dissatisfaction.Magnus was particularly irritated and immediately cursed: “Fuck! Are you kidding me? We've been waiting here for half a day, and now you're saying they've just arrived?""Stop talking nonsense and follow.” Murray shot him a glare.Magnus dared not defy his father and had no choice but to bow his head, resentfully following him into the Silver Cobras.Soon, they arrived at a private room.The moment the door opened, Magnus saw two people inside, and his eyes immediately fell on Alexander, who had his back turned to them.Is it him?Fuck!Who the hell is this guy, and why does he look like such a mess?Is this today's investor?He looks like a street sweeper!Magnus grew increasingly uncomfortable, a mocking smirk curling on his lips.Meanwhile, Murray, afte
Peyton had always been displeased with Alexander—a useless man, in his eyes, undeserving of someone as divine as Eleanor.Eleanor, in Peyton's mind, was meant for him.Alexander? He was nothing but an obstacle that needed to be removed.“Eat by yourself.” Alexander coldly replied.Peyton laughed heartily, stepped closer, and patted Alexander’s shoulder twice, whispering in his ear: “Alexander, I advise you to divorce Eleanor as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you can't stay here any longer."With that, Peyton led his group past Alexander and into the main hall of Silver Cobras.Alexander stood there, his gaze icy, emitting a deadly aura. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and walked out the door.Meanwhile, as Peyton approached the entrance, he noticed a middle-aged man with a round face, dressed in a neat gray suit, hurriedly walking over, followed by two assistants.It was Ledger Pugh, the owner of Silver Cobras.Ledger was a big shot in Golden Harbor, renowned in
Alexander rubbed his chin and said: “My mother-in-law wants the two of you to hit it off. Just pretend for now. Eleanor can take a few photos to prove she brought you two to meet. Why don’t you sit at the café across the street and chat? I have something to take care of. Once I’m done, we’ll have dinner together."Marvin scratched his head, not quite understanding Alexander’s intention. However, he decided not to dwell on it. Whatever Alexander said, he would just follow along. He just needed to keep his feelings for Nana in check."Alright, there’s a café across the street. Let’s go there. You go do your thing.” Marvin said straightforwardly.Eleanor handed Alexander the car keys and reminded him: “Be caref
In the office, Laurie sat gloomily across from Walden and Tommy, recounting everything that had happened at last night's party.After hearing her words, Walden and Tommy's faces turned ashen, as if they had lost a loved one."How could Alexander be so powerful? Tome’s men are ruthless, bloodthirsty people. How could Alexander easily defeat them?"Walden couldn't understand this at all. No matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation."Laurie, what do you think about this?" Walden asked.Laurie raised her eyes and said: “The eldest son of the Mark family, Jeremy, who claims to be Alexander's subordinate, must be speaking the truth. Alexander is definitely not the useless man he appeared to be. He’s always been hiding his true self."Her words seemed to clear the fog, bursting in Walden and Tommy’s minds.Thinking over her words, neither of them wanted to accept the reality that Alexander was no ordinary man."Impossible, he's just a useless ma
Eleanor furrowed her brow, feeling a slight pang of discomfort. Whether Nana was serious or joking, her words made Eleanor uneasy."Mom, don’t say that about Alexander all the time. Alexander is a good man. Don’t you see Nana thinks so too?""Hmph, that must be some trick Alexander used to charm Nana. That kind of trash is good at fooling women."Eleanor didn’t know what to say to Valeria, knowing that her opinion of Alexander was deeply ingrained. No matter how much she tried to explain, it would be pointless. She reluctantly chose to give up."I’m tired, I’m not talking to you anymore. Nana and I are going to our room.""Why are you in such a hurry? I really think Nana and Marvin would be a good match." Valeria refused to let it go."Cousin Marvin isn’t a good match for Nana, don’t think too much, Mom.""What’s not a good match? A piece of trash like Alexander could marry you, and cousin Marvin is handsome, successful, and definitely a good husband for Nana. Nana, could you arrange
Eleanor patted her hand and reassured her: “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone kidnap you. Tonight, you’ll sleep with me, and Alexander will take the sofa.""Okay! Thank you, sister! But… making Alexander sleep on the couch seems a little harsh. Maybe I should sleep on the couch instead.” Nana offered sweetly."You can’t sleep on the sofa. Alexander’s thick-skinned and sturdy. The couch suits him perfectly."Alexander pulled a pained expression, but seeing Eleanor had already made up her mind, he didn’t argue. As long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.Alexander called Jeremy’s bodyguards over to take Jeremy and Atlas to the hospital. Then, he cast a glance at Tome’s lackeys huddled in a corner.The group squatted there, trembling as they stared at Alexander, forcing smiles that barely masked their terror."You’re incredible, Master Reynolds. We had eyes but failed to see. Please forgive us this time.""Yes! We’re sorry. It was all Laurie’s fault. If she hadn’t instigated
"Mr. Mark is really something, seeing the situation and latching onto the right person. Now if we wanted to latch onto Alexander, we might not even be able to touch his toenails.""Damn, a lackey of a strong person like him must have some talent, we don't even qualify. Don’t think about latching onto Alexander, if we can get Mr. Mark’s support, that’s already a win."While they discussed, the poisoned creatures had all been dealt with by Alexander.He looked at the dead creatures in his hand, sneering disdainfully."Hmph, this small trick and they dare call it a lifesaving move? It's enough to make anyone laugh.""Alexander, are you alright?" Eleanor asked with concern.Alexander immediately smiled brightly, turning around to say: “I'm fine, everyone stay here for a while. I need to teach these people a lesson."After finishing his words, Alexander immediately chased after them, quickly catching up to Gabriel.Gabriel realized someone was catching up to him and was so frightened that
Seeing Gabriel stamp his feet, Atlas scoffed coldly: “Hmph! You think you can scare me like that? Let me show you the power of the 'No Move' technique!""Oh, so you can see through my background? At your age, you haven't even lived as long as a dog.” Gabriel taunted."Impudent!" Atlas furious and swung two fists toward Gabriel.Gabriel wasn't weak either. He quickly advanced, clashing with Atlas.The speed of both men was incredibly fast, so much so that they became two streaks of light, one white, one black. The two streaks collided with loud bangs, crackling with force.The onlookers couldn't make out the martial arts moves of Gabriel and Atlas, but Alexander watched the two fight with ease.After over thirty moves, Alexander slowly shook his head, realizing that Atlas was no match for Gabriel.Sweat began to form on Atlas’s forehead. With the high intensity of the fight, his stamina had reached its limit. Meanwhile, Gabriel, in his prime, was full of energy and appeared to be in fu
What just happened was an embarrassing moment, and not just for one person but for all of them. So, Tome’s lackeys couldn’t help but want to kill Atlas.“You old man, you dare to act without owning up to it? Using a straw, huh? If you’re so tough, why don’t you fight me one-on-one? Let’s see if we kill you or not!”“No matter how good your martial arts are, a gun will still knock you down. I’ve got a gun, do you? If you’re scared, kneel down now!”Tome’s lackeys pulled out guns, aiming them directly at Atlas.“A!”Nana let out a graceful cry, her face showing panic as she su
Eleanor was quite satisfied with Alexander's reassuring words. She scratched his hand lightly and, when she saw Alexander looking at her, gave him a warm smile.Alexander smiled happily, bent down to kiss Eleanor, but she tilted her head to avoid it.Seeing Alexander and Eleanor acting affectionate in front of everyone, Nana, Laurie, and Tome all felt a surge of emotion."Eleanor, you shameless little brat, aren't you going to serve Young Master Jake right now?" Laurie said angrily.Tome snorted coldly, glaring at Alexander, then mocked: “So you're the useless guy living off your wife, Alexander? Come here and bark like a dog, maybe I'll keep you as my door guard. If you don't listen to me, there'll be no way out for you, ha ha."Alexander glanced at Tome and shook his head: “You're really deaf to gunfire. If you want to show off and act cool, do it properly, you're just an idiot.""Shut up! Who do you think you are to call me an idiot? Get over here! Grab this trash dog and give him
Atlas stood silently behind Nana like a statue in deep meditation. As long as no one disrupted the plan, he remained motionless.Alexander glanced at Atlas, noting his composed and immovable demeanor. He faintly sensed that Atlas was a formidable expert.A beautiful woman with an escort of such caliber could not be ordinary. Moreover, she had chosen to sit in such a discreet corner, giving Alexander the impression that her presence here might involve him.However, Alexander maintained his composure. Life was a stage, and everything depended on the performance. If Nana wanted to act, he would wait to see what role she intended to play."Mr. Mark, don’t be so timid.” Alexander teased with a laugh: “You’ve shown courage before. Use that courage to confess."Jeremy smiled wryly, scratching his head: “In the past, I would’ve just taken my men to snatch her away. But now, seeing her, I don’t even dare entertain such thoughts. It would feel barbaric."Alexander and Eleanor exchanged amused g
