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?

Coupled with the pain in his hand at that moment, Devlin suddenly collapsed, unable to hold on any longer."If I tell you everything, will you let me go? What about my other brothers?"

Alexander, unaware that a large operation was being set up against him, was sitting in the front passenger seat, feeling a headache.Nana and Laurie were in the back seat, arguing the entire way, neither willing to give up. The two were still bickering without lifting a finger.Alexander tried to intervene several times but couldn’t stop them, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.Nico secretly chuckled and whispered to Alexander: “Master, isn’t this the so-called happy headache?”“Happy headache, my ass. It’s just a headache, not happy at all. Why has it turned into this? This shouldn’t be happening.” Alexander rubbed his temples, beginning to reflect on the past and wondering where he had gone wrong. Why had Laurie’s attitude changed so drastically?Could it be that Laurie had upgraded her tactics, feeling that the previous approach didn’t work on him, and thus had switched to a new one?The more Alexander thought about it, the more confused he became.

If you want, I can help you keep an eye on Alexander and go with him."Laurie finished speaking and smugly glanced at Nana, feeling as though she had come up with a perfect excuse.Nana clenched her teeth in fury, wanting to pounce on Laurie and bite her.The two women glared at each other, refusing to back down.Nico, meanwhile, quietly moved aside, feeling like he was watching a palace drama unfold.

Queen Master’s face darkened further, and the sense of unease in her heart grew stronger."So you’re saying that Alexander is much stronger than you?""He’s stronger than me, but if it came to a life-and-death battle, neither of us could be certain of the outcome.” the head of the guards replied, feeling that if it were a desperate fight, he still might be able to defeat Alexander, or at least injure both of them."Increase my protection level. I need the tightest security!"Queen Master said seriously."Understood, I will implement the highest level of protection."Queen Master weakly waved her hand, and the head of the guards smartly stepped back.Wilbur whispered: “Don’t worry too much about Alexander. I’ve already contacted several experts. In the end, we can make him unable to withstand it.""What about the development of the enhancement drug?" Queen Master asked abruptly.Wilbur was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded: “The enhancement drug isn’t stable yet. It has very

After hearing Alexander’s report, Ward immediately understood what was going on.“Young Master Reynolds, I know those people. They are from Southern Mountain, a bunch of hot-headed drifters. They know how to keep a low profile, and it’s basically impossible to catch them. The only way is to drive them away. How about this: I can send a small team to watch over your construction site and scare them off.”Ward intended to ensure his lover’s safety more securely. Since he had decided to curry favor, he would go all the way. He directly dispatched a small team to the construction site as security guards to make sure nothing happened there.“This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Moreover, if they pull off something else, we’ll be even more passive. Do you know their background? Tell me directly.”Ward pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on a file on the table.“They have ties to the geomancer from last time. I suspect that it’s people from his sect who are unwilling to

After visiting Mary, Alexander, Nana, and Nico left the hospital and drove back to the company.Pushing open Eleanor’s office door, Alexander saw her working and smiled: “Honey, what are you busy with?"Eleanor lifted her head to look at Alexander, then glanced at Nana and Nico behind him, feeling slightly suspicious.Earlier, Alexander had left on his own, but now he had returned with Nana—and Nico was with them too?Could it be that Nico was secretly helping Alexander and Nana stay in touch, covering for their secret meetings?A flood of thoughts raced through Eleanor’s mind, and she gradually felt a tinge of jealousy."What were you all doing just now?" Eleanor’s voice was slightly strained."I just finished some business and happened to run into Nana and Nico wandering around, so I took them to visit Mary. Lately, Mary has been learning all sorts of nonsense from the patients in the neighboring ward. Once her treatment is done, we should bring her home as soon as possible.""Oh, a

Joaquin sensing Queen Master’s thoughts, spoke slowly: “I think Alexander only has a few tricks up his sleeve. Xavier is an unruly fighter, relying solely on his physical strength. Anyone who undergoes proper training can defeat him.”“Joaquin, do you really think so?” Queen Master asked coldly.Joaquin shuddered, lowering his head in a panic, his voice mumbled: “I just speak my mind. I’m not saying it’s necessarily right.”“Hmph, while I may not understand everything, I know the basics. Xavier may not be a top-tier fighter, but he can still reach the level of a high-ranking fighter.”“Among the Dragon Sect’s guards, there are plenty of people stronger than Xavier. But if we talk about who could easily overpower Xavier like Alexander did, I’m afraid not many could. Over the years, Alexander must have been biding his time. His ambition is truly terrifying!”Wilbur quickly added: “You’re right. Alexander really has a fierce ambition. I’ve seen through this guy’s ambitions long ago. He m

Joaquin respectfully said to Queen Master: “Thank you for upholding justice for me, Queen Master. I am truly, truly grateful.”“Enough with the pretense. You said you wanted to get close to Alexander and obtain the secret key. Why haven’t I seen any progress?”“I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity. I can’t make it too obvious, don’t you think?” Joaquin replied with a sycophantic smile.“Hmph!”Queen Master snorted coldly, dismissing Joaquin.Just then, Wilbur entered with a tournament schedule in hand, frowning slightly: “The match between Alexander and Xavier has been canceled. I’m still investigating the exact reason.”“Canceled? What happened?” Queen Master’s expression darkened with displeasure.Knock, knock, knock.The door to the private room was knocked upon, and Thorne entered with a bowed head, his posture humble.Thorne only knew that the people inside this room were of high status, but he had no idea who they were or what their ranks were.“Good evening.

Alexander took Nico and Nana to Mary’s hospital room. When Mary saw Alexander, she immediately rushed into his arms and happily kissed his face.“Dad, you finally came to visit me. Who are these uncle and aunt?”Mary tilted her head and looked at Nico and Nana.Nico’s face twitched. Based on status, he should be on the same level as Mary, but he wasn’t sure whether he was considered an older or younger brother of Mary.“Mary, this is my disciple Nico. You can call him ‘brother’.” Alexander said.“Ah?” Mary looked at Nico carefully, and Nico forced out an awkward yet polite smile.“This is my brother? But he’s older than Dad.”Mary said innocently.Nico’s smile cracked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.“Mary, this is your sister Nana.” Alexander continued with the introduction.Nana puffed her cheeks and said unhappily: “Alexander, the way you introduced me isn’t right. Mary should call me ‘aunt,’ otherwise the family hierarchy will be messed up.”“She’s so beautiful, she’s not an aunt, sh
