"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
Peyton had left, and the gathering dispersed.When it was time to pay, Alexander escorted Eleanor and Valeria's group to the car before turning back toward the restaurant.Boris had already informed the reception that there was no charge for the private room in the Sky garden.As Alexander entered the lobby, a server greeted him with a respectful smile, saying: “Young Master Reynolds, Director Vega and Mr. Lopez are waiting for you upstairs."Alexander nodded, his hands in his pockets, and headed up the stairs.But suddenly, a mocking voice reached his ears.“Well, well, isn’t this Alexander, the useless freeloader of our family? What are you doing here?”Alexander looked up and saw Laurie and a group of wealthy young people descending the stairs.Her long, shapely legs were certainly the kind that made men's hearts skip a beat.Alexander frowned and stepped aside, not wanting to get into a confrontation with Laurie at the moment.But Laurie crossed her arms over her chest, showcasing
Instead, it was Laurie who was holding her cheek, stunned for a long moment before reacting, and then furiously yelling at Boris: “You dare hit me? You hit me over some penniless loser?"Boris’s eyes were icy as he shouted: “If you step into our restaurant, you're a guest of mine. I don’t care who you are—if you cause trouble here, I won’t let it slide! Guards, throw them out!"Immediately, several security guards rushed over, grabbed the shouting Laurie, and escorted her out.The other wealthy young people quickly followed her out.Laurie got up from the ground, her backside aching from the fall.She stood up and cursed until her voice was hoarse: “Boris, you’re done for! I’m the third daughter of the Marshall family! A small-time manager like you dares to do this to me? I’ll have people tear down your shabby restaurant!"After yelling, Laurie tried to charge forward again, but the patrons at a nearby table held her back.The handsome young man from earlier pulled Laurie aside and sh
As soon as she entered, she angrily addressed Tommy: “Tommy, today we have to get Eleanor out of the company. I want her kicked out like a stray dog!"Laurie had been seething since last night.Tommy turned around, noticing Laurie's rage, and asked: “What happened? Did Eleanor upset you?""It wasn't her, it was that scumbag Alexander!"Laurie sat down on the sofa, arms crossed, her expression sour: “Last night, I went to Iron Lions for dinner, and I couldn’t believe that poor loser Alexander was there too. I insulted him a bit, and then Boris Vega, the manager at Iron Lions, slapped me in front of everyone. I swear, I will make him pay for this!""Iron Lions? How could that broke guy afford to go there?"Tommy was shocked, then asked: “You’re saying Boris slapped you because of Alexander? That can’t be right. Boris is Mr. Vega—one of the four big bosses of the Golden Harbor underworld. Why would he hit you over that punk Alexander? You’re the third young lady of the Marshall family; t
After all, his men had been waiting at the Welsh Max Corporation since yesterday, and they reported that Eleanor had never shown up.So, where did this contract come from?It must be fake!But.Eleanor laughed coldly, her expression icy as she raised her eyebrows: “Tommy, do you really hope this contract is fake?”This statement left Tommy speechless: “What… what do you mean?”Mr. Marshall’s face also darkened. He struck his cane on the floor and shouted: “Enough, enough! If everyone is suspicious of this contract, why not just make a phone call and find out?”“Yes, yes, yes!” Tommy hurriedly agreed: “Let’s call right now.”With that, Tommy turned around, glaring coldly at Eleanor: “Keep pretending, I’m eager to see what you’ll do once the call is made!”Mr. Marshall immediately called Welsh Max Corporation, speaking warmly: “Hello, is this Chairman Blaine? Yes, yes, greetings, greetings. I’m the chairman of Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals and the head of the Marshall family. My name is Ro
Tommy watched with satisfaction as Eleanor was slapped by their grandfather. Seizing the moment, he added fuel to the fire: "Grandfather, I think Eleanor is showing less and less respect for you. Maybe we should strip her of her position as Chief Inspector and send her down to the grassroots level in the marketing department for a few years. Let her endure some hardship so she'll realize how kind you've been to her.""Exactly, Grandfather. Tommy is right. Eleanor has become too arrogant because of the favor you've shown her these past years. She should be sent down to the lower ranks for some proper training.” Laurie chimed in, her eyes gleaming with mockery and smugness.Mr. Marshall pondered for a moment, then firmly tapped his cane on the ground, his voice cold as he said: “Do as Tommy suggested. From today, Eleanor is relieved of her position as Chief Inspector and will be transferred to the grassroots level of the marketing department. She'll start from scratch!""Grandfather!" E
"Do you really think that Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals would starve if we didn’t partner with Welsh Max?" Mr. Marshall’s voice was cold, and the oppressive atmosphere around him made it hard for anyone nearby to breathe.It had been a long time since he had been this angry. When Mr. Marshall got angry, everyone else was terrified.Eleanor could also feel the imposing aura of Mr. Marshall, a presence that made her nervous."That's right! Even if we don't cooperate with Welsh Max, Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals can still partner with other companies. It just means less profit. If you think you can use this to pressure me and Grandpa, you're dreaming!"Tommy chimed in, fueling the fire. He wanted to ensure that whatever goodwill Grandpa had left for Eleanor would be completely eroded, making her easier to deal with."Eleanor, I suggest you quickly apologize to Grandpa, take back what you said, and hand the contract over to Tommy." Laurie stood by, arms crossed, smiling coldly with a look of mo
