2024-07-21 04:28:36Eleanor stood stunned, looking at Mary sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, gently touching her smooth forehead, her eyes moist: "I won't divorce him. We've been married for four years, and it's not true that there's no affection. Besides, he will always be Mary's father, unless he doesn't want us anymore."
Hearing this, Lisa stamped her foot angrily: "Eleanor, how can you be so foolish! What's so good about that useless man?"
Eleanor turned, looking at the agitated Lisa: "Alright, Lisa, I know you mean well, but this is my matter."
Lisa opened her mouth to say something, but restrained herself and said: "It's up to you, but I will do my best to separate you two! You are my best friend, I won't let you sink into the quagmire!"
Eleanor said nothing; she understood Lisa's good intentions, truly wanting the best for her.
However, certain things, especially her feelings for Alexander, made Eleanor's heart chaotic.
In the evening, Alexander brought home a bag of apples, but hadn't even entered the door when he heard the noise inside.
"Eleanor, you must listen to me, tomorrow, you divorce that useless man! Our Marshall family cannot tolerate him!"
It was the voice of her mother-in-law, Valeria, sounding very angry.
"Look, today at the hospital, that boy embarrassed you, nearly broadcasting it to all of Golden Harbor. Everyone saw it, today Alexander's attitude towards the old man, wasn't that pushing our whole family into trouble! In a few days, it's the half-yearly summary meeting of the Marshall family, where a new vice president must be chosen, at this critical moment, Alexander acted rudely towards the old man. Do you still have a chance of being selected? You must divorce!"
Valeria was almost exploding, after Eleanor shut the door and went to her room, she vented her anger on her husband, Rodger Marshall, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Rodger Marshall lowered his head, pretending to read the newspaper seriously, making no sound.
He was a typical husband under his wife's control, with no status in the family, big or small matters were all handled by his wife, Valeria.
Moreover, his natural disposition was weak, in front of a fierce wife like Valeria, he truly couldn't raise his head.
Rodger's silence made Valeria even angrier, she walked over, snatched the newspaper from his hand, then tore it apart, scolding: "Look at you, every day you come home and just read the newspaper, why don't you care about our family's affairs, isn't Eleanor your daughter?"
At this, Rodger helplessly said: "How can I not care, but this is not something we can decide, Eleanor has to speak for herself."
Valeria didn't care, immediately shouting: "I don't care, our daughter must divorce that useless man, it's been four years, we've endured so much spit and ridicule from others, haven't you had enough?"
Saying this, Valeria started crying, sitting down on the sofa and wailing: "Rodger, if you are still a man, you must stand up for your daughter! Our daughter has suffered so much, now Mary is diagnosed with leukemia, all this is because of that useless Alexander! Originally, she could have married into a wealthy family and become a wealthy lady, we could have enjoyed blessings too, do you want to see Eleanor tired every day, enduring the mocking from relatives? Don't you feel heartache!"
The Marshall family, dealing in material equipment in Golden Harbor, truly had Eleanor running to construction sites, material markets, and markets every day, very tired.
Moreover, because of Alexander, the status of the second house of her family within the Marshall family was very low, even the inheritance from the old man excluded Eleanor.
Hearing these words, Rodger also fell silent, after all, she was his daughter.
Just as he was about to stand up, Eleanor, who had locked herself in her room, opened the door and walked into the living room.
She looked at the furious Valeria and the sorrowful, suffering Rodger, and said: "Dad, Mom, I won't divorce Alexander!"
Hearing this, Valeria immediately became enraged, shouting: "Eleanor, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't divorce him, do you want to live your whole life with that useless man?!"
"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense, I love Alexander, even though for the past four years, because of him, I have been criticized and ridiculed by relatives and friends, he is still my husband, Mary's father!"
"These four years, he has silently maintained this family, has he ever complained?"
"Everyone looks down on him, Grandpa looks down on him, everyone looks down on him, but I don't!"
Alexander stood at the door, holding a bag of apples, sighed, his eyes wet, looking up at the sky.
He was smiling, for four years, it turned out she had always loved him, despite the grievances he had caused her.
This woman, why is she so foolish.
He once promised her a prosperous life, now it seems there is nothing.
Alexander clenched his fists, a serious look in his eyes, Eleanor believed in him, his promise to her, would never change, she would become the happiest woman in the world!
In the living room, Eleanor's face was already full of tears, her beautiful appearance like a pear blossom in the rain, looking at Valeria and Rodger, she said: "Mom, Dad, you don't understand, I love him, I have always waited for him, waited for him to openly tell everyone he is Mary's father, Eleanor's husband..."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Although Valeria's face was still angry, hearing Eleanor's words, she had nothing more to say.
At this moment, Alexander pushed the door open, stood at the door, a warm smile like the sun on his face, looking at the tearful Eleanor, walked up to her, gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Alexander, can you promise me? For me and Mary."
"I don't want to endure those mocking words anymore, I don't want Mary to call you 'uncle' in front of others, I want everyone to know, you are Mary's father, my husband, not a useless man."
Eleanor's eyes were red.
Her eyes filled with mist.
"I promise you."
Alexander said seriously, looking at Eleanor gently.
...
At BrightPath Solutions private club, in the imperial private room.
Alexander stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the neon-lit street outside.
Behind him, Sherman stood bowing, clearly very respectful.
"Young Master, do you have any instructions?" Sherman asked.
"On the 23rd of next month, it's my daughter's birthday, book the most luxurious room at Skyline in Golden Harbor, I want to hold a banquet with 300 tables, inviting the rich and noble of the whole city.
Alexander had promised Eleanor, he would gradually make it a reality.
This time, he wanted everyone in Golden Harbor to know, Mary is Alexander's daughter.
And Eleanor, you are Alexander's wife.
The wife of the Young Master of Dragon Sect.
The future Dragon Queen of Dragon Sect.
Sherman was a bit stunned, saying: "Young Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
Alexander turned around, looking at Sherman, frowning: "Is it difficult?"
Sherman smiled: "This little matter, for the Reynolds family's Dragon Sect, is not a problem at all. But the main issue is the current Dragon Queen. Young Master's reckless actions might displease the Dragon Queen."
The current wife of the Dragon Master was a very formidable person.
Back then, she had expelled the Young Master and the second lady from the dragon gate, even the Dragon Master dared not say anything, enough to see the Dragon Queen's prestige.

Alexander was silent, then said: "I won't care about this, you go and do it, my request will not change, if because of this, that woman secretly criticizes me, then I will not inherit Dragon Sect, I will not do anything for Dragon Sect."Saying this, Alexander waved his hand and left the BrightPath Solutions private club.Sherman respectfully bowed, watching Alexander leave.Young Master, seems to have changed, becoming a bit more assertive.Afterward, he gently tapped the black and gold cane in his hand on the floor, and a tall, slender woman with a graceful figure swayed in.This woman was wearing a bright red slit dress, her hair tied to one side, exuding immense allure.

In the conference room of Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals, Marshall family company...At this moment, the Marshall family patriarch was seated at the head of the table, with the family butler standing beside him.“Grandpa, the company’s recent performance has dropped significantly. I’ve reviewed the situation, and it’s clear that Eleanor’s marketing department has serious issues. It’s been three months without any major orders. She can’t avoid responsibility for this.” Tommy said directly, a cold smile on his lips as he stared at Eleanor.“Haha, I think some people just aren’t capable of handling their positions. They might as well resign and go home to take care of their kids, instead of being a burden to Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals.”Laurie sitting below, shot a contemptuous glance at Eleanor before admiring her own nails.Tommy then stood up and walked over to Eleanor, touching her delicate shoulder as he said: “Eleanor, if I were you, I would have resigned long ago.

Soon, Alexander appeared in the large and luxurious office.Blaine Welsh raised an eyebrow as he looked at Alexander and politely asked: “May I know what brings you to see me?"The young man in front of him seemed ordinary; how could he have caused the headquarters to personally call him?"Chairman Welsh, there’s no need for formalities. I’m here to ask for a favour from your group.” Alexander said, getting straight to the point.Blaine set down the gold-plated fountain pen in his hand, surprised: “Oh? What kind of favor?""I’ve heard that Star Bridge is looking for a pharmaceutical company to partner with in Golden Harbor. I hope Star Bridge will choose Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals, and the person in charge will be Eleanor Marshall.” Alexander calmly stated, his expression indifferent.Blaine frowned, his expression turning somewhat displeased: “May I ask who you are and why you want to help the Marshall family?

Kolby stopped in his tracks, staring at Michal’s dramatic surrender, and laughed, shaking his fists: “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t even thrown a punch yet, and you’re already giving up? You’re way too cooperative.”Michal, looking like he was on the verge of tears, replied: “What else can I do? I don’t want to get hit. Just treat me like a fart and forget about me.”“Damn, with courage like yours, how are you even a boss? This is hilarious. Hey, you over there.” Kolby pointed at Alexander: “Step up and take a punch from me. When I swing, you fall backward dramatically. That way, I’ll go easy on you and won’t kill you in one blow.”Kolby laughed as he demonstrated a falling motion: “Watch closely. Make sure you fall back like this. It’ll make me look cooler.

I was shaken up so badly, I almost threw up.” Michal replied, leaning against the wall and miming a retch, his performance impeccable.The burly man, clearly annoyed by Michal’s retching, waved them in impatiently: “Get yourself together.

Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv

Whoosh! Whoosh!The Mercedes-Benz SUV shot past the Lamborghini like an arrow, its immense air pressure rocking the Lamborghini to the side like a leaf swaying in the wind.“Holy shit! It overtook me! Its speed has definitely surpassed 240 mph—I think it’s hitting over 260 mph!” Justine exclaimed in panic.For Justine, 260 mph wasn’t an unusual speed. F1 races regularly hit such velocities, and even Nico’s Bugatti Veyron could easily reach 280 or 300 mph.But for an SUV to achieve such speeds was beyond anything Justine had seen or heard of. SUVs typically participated in endurance challenges, prioritizing rugged terrain capabilities over outright speed.Hearing Justine’s report on the Mercedes-Benz, the other wealthy racers fell silent.The Porsche supercar just ahead of Justine also noticed the menacing approach of the Mercedes-Benz.“I see it too. It’s overtaking me. My current speed is 265 mph.” the Porsche driver reported.Ryon, listening for a while, grew increasingly agitated:

Michal stared at the new message on his phone, his face twisted with dread: “Boss, Tome's guys didn’t give an exact time. They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone.

“Tome again.” Alexander muttered: “Seems that bastard keeps causing me trouble. Do you have a meeting set with him? I’d like to join.”Michal hesitated, his heart sinking. Of all the luck, he had to run into someone like Alexander, who now intended to provoke Tome. This wouldn’t end well for anyone.“Boss, how about I give you Tome’s number? You can contact him yourself. I’ll take my men and leave. We won’t step foot in Golden Harbor again.”Michal didn’t want to get involved between Alexander and Tome. No matter how things turned out between the two, Michal was certain his own ending wouldn’t be favorable. The best option now was to slip away quickly.

Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..." Lyle spat blood, stumbling out of the room.He made his way back to the room, where Michal was waiting. Seeing Lyle's swollen face, Michal’s expression darkened."Lyle, what happened?
