When Valeria stepped outside, she paused at the door, letting out a couple of chuckles. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message to Peyton: "Peyton, I saw the necklace you gave Eleanor. It’s beautiful. Eleanor seems really happy with it. Why don't you ask her out for dinner and chat?"

After that, Valeria headed to the living room.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Peyton was drinking and chatting with some friends at a club when he unexpectedly received Valeria’s message. Reading it, he was taken aback.

A necklace?

What necklace?

He had given her a necklace before, but she didn’t accept it.

Could it be that Valeria misunderstood something?

Peyton replied with a smile: "As long as Eleanor likes it, that's all that matters."

Valeria entered the living room, noticing that neither Walden nor Tommy was there, only Alexander and Rodger.

"Where are your brother and Tommy? Weren't they supposed to apologize to Eleanor? Why did they leave?" Valeria asked.

Rodger glanced at Alexander, his ex

    Unexpectedly, Alexander suddenly spoke up: “She’s already on her way back. Just give it a few more minutes."In an instant!Everyone’s eyes were focused on Alexander.His words sent a shock through Rodger and Valeria. Just moments ago, they were saying she wouldn’t be back until the afternoon, yet now Alexander was claiming she’d be back in minutes."Alexander, who gave you the right to speak here? Get out! Eleanor clearly went out and won’t be back until this afternoon.” Valeria angrily snapped at Alexander, wanting to kick him out right away.What was he trying to do?Lying right in front of the elder?"Don’t listen to Alexander; he’s just spouting nonsense.” Rodger hastily added, clearly panicking."Hmph!"The elder let out a cold snort, raising his head to look at Alexander and asked: “Was this your idea?"Alexander didn’t deny it and replied: “Yes, it was.""Alexander, I knew you were the one pulling the strings behind this! Grandfather, did you hear that? He admitted it himself!

    At the main entrance stood a half-body statue sculpted from golden marble—an image of Klaus Parks, the renowned international master architect who designed LightHouse Music Hall. He was a highly sought-after designer, creating one masterpiece every three years, each of which was revered and fiercely competed for.LightHouse was his final creation.Hosting a concert at LightHouse not only brought prestige and fame but also marked one as a person of upper-echelon status in Golden Harbor.Standing at the entrance, Alexander glanced at the statues and smiled faintly: “Another one of the old man's designs, how predictable."He recalled how Klaus Parks had once pursued him, eager to build a house for him.Annoyed by the architect's persistence, Alexander casually handed over a few hundred million and had him build a villa in the mountains.After all, building a villa for the Young Master of the Dragon Sect was a lifelong dream for many master architects.Alexander chuckled to himself at the

    "Director!"Regina called out affectionately and smiled: “Well, it's like this. This migrant worker here refuses to work and is causing trouble, insisting on seeing you. I was just about to throw him out!"Director?So, this was Pandora Jake.Alexander took a moment to observe her. Not bad, this girl had presence, was sophisticated, and undeniably beautiful.Pandora noticed Alexander sizing her up from head to toe, and displeasure flickered in her heart. Her demeanor immediately turned icy, fully embracing the role of an ice-cold beauty.She said to Regina: “Yes, call someone to throw him out. The concert hall is in a sensitive period right now. Later, an important figure who has reserved the hall for the entire day will come to inspect the arrangements. Everyone needs to stay sharp.""Yes, Director!"Regina nodded obediently, like a little lapdog.Then she turned to face Alexander again, flipping her attitude faster than flipping a page, and scolded: “Did you hear that? The director

    Regina then vented her anger on Alexander, pointing at him and shouting: “What are you all standing around for? Throw this lowlife out of here!"As soon as she finished speaking—Slap!Pandora landed another slap!This time, Regina was completely stunned, holding her face with both hands.“Regina, shut your mouth! From this moment on, you're fired. Get out of here immediately!” Pandora shouted angrily, pointing towards the door.This fool had no situational awareness—if she wanted to get herself killed, she shouldn’t drag Pandora down with her!“Are you crazy, Director? Why did you slap me? What’s wrong with kicking out someone who doesn’t belong here? And on what grounds are you firing me? My boyfriend is the manager here!” Regina fumed. She had long despised Pandora. That scheming woman had always been hanging around her boyfriend, and last time when she and her boyfriend rented a room, he even called out Pandora's name!It was infuriating!And what was so special about being a dire

    “Mr. Joe, what did you just say?” Regina’s fur stood on end like a cat’s tail getting stepped on. Her face turned stern with anger as she glared at Melvin.Melvin quickly explained: “Oh, I was just joking, darling. You’re the only one in my heart. So tell me, what do you want to do?”Regina immediately took the opportunity to flaunt her power, pointing at Alexander with a smug expression as she sneered: “I want him to kneel down and apologize to me!”Regina was furious because she knew she couldn’t make Pandora apologize. So she wanted to vent her frustration on this poor wretch. Besides, judging by the current situation, it was clear that this immigrant laborer was someone Pandora was secretly keeping as a lover. Why else would Pandora be protecting him like this?Alexander was momentarily stunned—why was the fire suddenly directed at him? Pandora was equally shocked and angrily glared at Regina, shouting: “Regina, this isn’t your place to speak. Shut your filthy mouth!”She wants Yo

    Alexander frowned and said: “What does it matter to you why I’m here?"It seemed like Peyton could be found everywhere.What was he doing here?"Haha, why wouldn’t it matter? You’re such a useless person. What right do you have to be here?"Peyton said with disdain: “Do you even know where you are? This is the LightHouse concert hall, the largest concert hall in Golden Harbor! How could a piece of trash like you deserve to stand here? Get out!"Peyton had always harbored a grudge against Alexander.A lowly, useless man had stolen his woman.And now, he dared to show up at LightHouse.Did he not realize that, with his status, coming here would only embarrass the concert hall?Today, Peyton had come here for Eleanor.He knew Eleanor admired the great Malik Ware, so he had specially arranged to buy some time for her to meet and take a photo with him.With that, Eleanor would surely admire him, perhaps even fall in love with him.Alexander frowned, displeased, and said: “Why shouldn’t I b

    Half an hour later, Alexander returned from the market with groceries.Eleanor had just come back from the company. In the afternoon, she had gone there to report on the collaboration project with Welsh Max to the family patriarch.In the presence of the Marshall family, she had also signed the contract, officially sealing the partnership with Welsh Max.After that, a busy period awaited her.When Eleanor saw Alexander return, she didn’t say anything. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, reviewing project plans in her notebook.Alexander went into the kitchen, washed a plate of fruit, and placed it on the coffee table, gently saying: “Just washed."Eleanor, dressed in her pajamas with a Mickey Mouse hairpin in her hair, was biting the end of a pen, looking very adorable.Alexander glanced at her and asked: “Running into any difficulties?"Eleanor replied: “The funding plan and the project sequence are a bit tricky."Then she looked up at Alexander and mumbled: “Alright, don’t ask anymore

    “Are you Eleanor Marshall?” the woman asked coldly.Eleanor clenched her fists, glaring at the woman in anger: “Who are you, and why did you hit me?”However, the woman only sneered before slapping Eleanor again. She then pointed a finger at Eleanor’s face and shouted: “My name is Grace Jones, the new investor and Tommy’s girlfriend. I’m warning you, stop trying to compete with him for power in the company. If you do, I’ll hit you every time I see you!”Arrogant and domineering!This was Grace Jones, the new investor in Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals.Eleanor was furious. She never expected Grace to be so unreasonable and aggressive.This woman looked barely over twenty but clearly had no sense of right and wrong.At that moment, Tommy walked out of his office. Seeing the scene, he pretended to speak coldly to Grace: “Grace, what are you doing? Go back!”Grace, with her fearless attitude, crossed her arms and shot a cold glance at Eleanor before turning and leaving.No one in the office d

    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
