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

    Only then did Alexander release Valeria’s hand. He turned to Eleanor and said: “Go rest in the bedroom."Eleanor stood up, her eyes red, and walked straight into the bedroom.Alexander watched her retreating figure, silently saying nothing.But Valeria wasn't done with him. She knocked the water basin out of his hands onto the floor and angrily pointed at him, shouting: “Alexander, I'm warning you, don’t lead my daughter astray! Sooner or later, the two of you will get divorced. My daughter's precious time can’t be wasted on you!"Alexander remained silent, quietly picking up the broom to clean the floor.Valeria stomped her foot in anger and cursed: “Useless piece of trash! Sooner or later, I’ll kick you out of our house!"It was almost lunchtime when Alexander entered the bedroom. He found Eleanor sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, quietly sobbing."What’s wrong?" Alexander asked gently.Eleanor turned her back to him, wiped her tears, and replied in a choked voice: “N-nothing."

    Back at the Marshall family’s old house, in the main hall, the first and third wives were present, discussing Eleanor’s actions at the morning meeting."Grandpa, Eleanor has become too arrogant. We can’t let this go. She’s trying to take Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals away from you.” Tommy said angrily.He was furious that Eleanor dared to act like this, showing no regard for the Marshall family or Grandpa.Mr. Marshall sat in his armchair, his face dark and brooding. He struck the ground firmly with his cane and said sternly: “Hmph! Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals belongs to the Marshall family. Eleanor has no right! If I don’t give it to her, she can’t take it. And if I do give it to her, she can’t refuse!"Hearing this, Tommy finally gained confidence and signaled to his father with a glance.Walden quickly said: “Father, although the Marshall family is currently under your control, what if Eleanor is really using this opportunity to blackmail us? We need to be cautious, and we must also be

    Tommy turned around, his face filled with worry, and stared at the messenger, asking: “What the hell is going on? Why are the three major companies suddenly announcing that they’re halting cooperation? And why do we have to pay compensation? Did we breach the contract?"The messenger, trembling all over, replied: “Young Master, I don’t know either. They just sent that notice and also mentioned..."But before the messenger could finish, another person rushed in. Seeing the scene before him, he became anxious and quietly stood aside, not daring to say anything.Old Mr. Marshall, noticing the last person who had entered, raised his hand and asked: “What do you want to say?"The newcomer hesitated before stepping forward respectfully and reporting: “Sir, just now, someone from the Drug Administration Bureau delivered a notice. They said that our company, Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals, has many violations, and we are ordered to address all issues within seven days and submit a report. If not,

    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
