"Are you serious?" Eleanor asked, still in disbelief.Peyton nodded: “I can’t guarantee success, but the odds are high. I’ll ask my father to put in a good word tonight."As the others in the living room celebrated, Alexander, in the kitchen, wiping down the refrigerator, received two text messages on his phone.One was from Sherman."Young Master, it’s done. Tomorrow, we’ll sever all ties with the Marshall family."The other was from Blaine."Young Master Reynolds, as per your instructions, the contract will be delivered shortly."Alexander smiled, replied with a simple "Good.” and then looked over at the joyous group in the living room."Eleanor, go thank Peyton properly.” Valeria urged, unable to contain her excitement.She had always wanted to pair Eleanor with Peyton. So what if her daughter was already married? It wasn’t impossible to change that."There’s no need, Auntie. Between Eleanor and me, there’s no need for thanks.” Peyton said, waving his hand modestly, though his face
Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 52: Impersonation To Secure The Contract.
Alexander casually took out his phone, sent a message to Eleanor, and then headed to the spa.Today, he needed to quickly check on the shop he had inadvertently purchased to see how it was running.Back with Eleanor, while she was listening to Peyton talk, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Alexander, and the content was simple: "Eleanor, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the partnership with the Welsh Max Group for you. The contract will be delivered soon. As for Peyton, don’t trust him too much."Alexander handling it?Eleanor frowned, glancing out the window, feeling somewhat skeptical.She then laughed at herself, thinking, What could Alexander possibly handle? He's probably just trying to comfort me.Moreover, how could the contract with the Welsh Max Group be delivered so quickly?Of course, Peyton, sitting beside her, noticed the scene. He glanced at the message content and sneered: “Is that a message from Alexander? Let me see what he says. Oh, he claims he can ha

"It’s really nothing, just something about the shop. They’re planning a party and asked if I wanted to join."Alexander casually explained as he reached to take the phone from Eleanor's hand.His broad chest blocked Eleanor directly, his face flushed with tension."Don't touch it!" Eleanor stepped back, her expression turning cold.Alexander froze, standing still, his eyes anxiously fixed on the phone in Eleanor's hand."A dinner party, right? Let me see how much everyone pitched in." Eleanor pouted like a little girl as she attempted to open Alexander's messages.At that moment, Valeria walked over with a stern face, glaring at Alexander before saying: “Eleanor, what are you doing here? Hurry up and join Peyton; tonight, we're going out to celebrate.""Ah, I'll be right there.” Eleanor replied reluctantly, handing the phone back to Alexander: “I'll trust you this time.” she said, her tone heavy with doubt.Alexander took the phone, wiping away cold sweat from his brow with a sigh of

Eleanor hesitated for a moment, lost in thought, before reluctantly agreeing: “Uh, okay."She was anxious but found it hard to express, especially since they were already there.There was no other choice; she had to go along with it.Alexander stood behind her, noticing her hesitation, and shook his head with a faint smile. He softly said: “Let's go inside. Don’t worry, when it’s time to pay, I’ll take care of it."Eleanor turned around, her face full of doubt, staring intently at Alexander as she whispered: “You’ll take care of it? How? This is Iron Lions; it’ll cost at least hundreds of thousands!"She also felt frustrated with herself for not clarifying earlier. Now, they were about to spend a huge amount of money.But what frustrated Eleanor even more was Alexander.Even now, he was in the mood to joke with her.Couldn't he see how anxious she was?"Do you trust me?"Alexander suddenly took hold of Eleanor's soft, delicate hand. The warmth of his palm calmed her anxious heart.Ele

Peyton swaggered in, followed by a group of people, while the waitress led the way. As he walked, he turned to say something to Eleanor.But Eleanor only smiled faintly, letting out a few half-hearted laughs.Inside, she was anxious.Just a glance at the menu outside showed dishes starting in the thousand!Too expensive!Once inside the room, Valeria looked around several times, her expression immediately displeased as she exclaimed: “Oh, how can this room be so small? How are we supposed to sit here?"Valeria was the kind of person who couldn't tolerate the slightest discomfort. She glared at Alexander, who was following behind, and shouted: “If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him along. Look, five people—how are we supposed to sit?"Alexander remained silent, having grown used to his mother-in-law's constant criticism.Peyton also frowned as he looked at the small room in front of him. It was indeed cramped, and five people seemed a bit squeezed. He spoke to the waitress: “Coul

“Eleanor, I can…”Alexander barely started to explain, but his mother-in-law’s loud voice cut him off.Valeria’s face was flushed with anger, her finger nearly poking Alexander’s nose as she scolded: “What can you do? You worthless piece of trash! You’ve embarrassed us all! Either sit there quietly and wait for dinner, or get out! You’re just an in-law living off the Marshall family, a freeloader—what right do you have to make decisions here? Are you the one paying for the upgrade?”Valeria’s harsh words, laced with disdain, struck at Alexander’s pride. She truly looked down on him, seeing him as nothing more than a poor, powerless man.Alexander clenched his fists, his face darkening with a cold resolve. Everyone saw him as worthless, but little did they know…He was the Young Master of the Dragon Sect, the future Dragon Master!With a single word, he could buy not just a room upgrade but the entire restaurant!Peyton, sitting nearby, couldn’t hide his mocking grin. Alexander was tru

"Order whatever you like; feel free to indulge."After saying this, Boris whispered to the server beside him: “Bring the special menu, the one with the lowest prices, but make sure the listed dishes remain unchanged. Understood?"Boris was a shrewd man. Through just a few words and actions earlier, he had already gauged the situation.Young Master Reynolds clearly didn’t want to reveal his true identity to these people.Not long after, the server brought in the new menu.Eleanor smiled as she took it and opened it to take a look. She had expected the prices to be sky-high, but to her surprise, the dishes were only in the hundred-thousand range, with the most expensive not exceeding three hundred thousand.Even delicacies like king crab, caviar, and mushrooms were only about a million.What... why is this menu so cheap?"I won't disturb you further. If you need anything, feel free to call for me at any time."With that, Boris exited the private room, casting a quick glance at Alexander

Eleanor sighed and ordered a few dishes, also helping to pick some for Alexander.Before long, a team of specially trained servers dressed in formal attire began to bring in the dishes one by one.These were the imperial dishes of Iron Lions!A dozen servers lined up, each holding trays covered with stainless steel lids, containing delicious and tempting dishes, as they entered the private room in an orderly manner.As the lids were lifted, a mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making everyone swallow in anticipation.Valeria was extremely excited, repeatedly praising: “Peyton, we’re so lucky to have you. I really don’t know how to thank you enough."Then she glanced disdainfully at Alexander, sitting quietly, and scolded: “Look at someone else here, utterly useless. He’ll probably never be able to take us to a place like this in his lifetime. Eleanor, you should stay close to someone as outstanding as Peyton, got it?"Eleanor softly acknowledged her mother and smiled faintly.Alexan

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
