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
Especially that look in his eyes just now—it was terrifying. Plus, Windy had a feeling that this matter wasn’t going to be resolved so easily.Meanwhile, in her office, Eleanor was working on a plan for the partnership project with Welsh Max Corporation.Due to the heavy workload and tight schedule, Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals had already lost more than half of its partners. Although they had managed to bring in some clients by announcing the cooperation with Welsh Max, it still wasn’t enough.Therefore, the pace of the partnership had to be accelerated.Bang!At that moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open with force from the outside!Grace stormed in with a menacing expression, slammed a stack of documents onto Eleanor's desk, and angrily scolded: “Director Marshall, why isn’t the cooperation plan with Welsh Max Corporation completed yet? It’s been a day already. Just how long are you planning to take? Do you think the money we invested is to feed a bunch of useless people?"
Alexander rushed forward, intercepting the slap that was about to land on Eleanor from Grace, and forcefully pushed her away.He looked at Eleanor, whose entire body was trembling. The bright red mark on her face ignited a fire in Alexander's eyes.An uncontrollable rage surged within him at that moment, completely taking over."Eleanor, I'm sorry, I came too late.” Alexander whispered as he gently took the coat from the sofa and wrapped it around Eleanor's fragile frame.The moment Eleanor saw Alexander arrive, tears streamed down her face. His presence, at her most painful, helpless, and desperate moment, brought her to sob uncontrollably. Nestled in his arms, she whispered: “Alexander... take me home, please... take me home..."The heartbreaking plea shattered Alexander's heart.If Eleanor cried, Alexander's world would crumble. No one in this world could bully Eleanor!No one!It didn’t matter who it was, it didn’t matter their background.Even if it was the king of the heavens, A
Grace’s face was full of disdain.She had already made up her mind—today, she would make Alexander pay a terrible price, and she would also get Eleanor, that useless woman, kicked out of this company!This company should belong to Tommy, and Grace would not allow a lowly woman like Eleanor to take the position of vice president over him.Meanwhile, Windy, standing beside Eleanor, looked at Alexander with admiration in her eyes.He’s so strong!Just now, Alexander’s words and actions were brimming with the irresistible charm of a real man. She had always thought he was weak and clueless, but she never expected him to be so tough and forceful for Eleanor!But Alexander truly must be out of his mind. How could he dare to hit Grace, the heiress of the Jones family in Golden Harbor, when her brother is none other than the infamous Bobby Jones?Bobby had even worked under Mr. Thomas, who had praised him highly.And who is Mr. Thomas?He’s Joshua Thomas of Golden Harbor, the leader of The Fo
Amidst the murmurs of those around him, Bobby learned that Alexander was just a worthless son-in-law of the Marshall family, someone everyone knew was useless and incompetent!What a joke!"This trash is getting too arrogant! Brother, you must teach him a lesson and avenge me!" Grace fumed, mocking and challenging him.At this point, Tommy quietly slipped away. He couldn’t get involved in what would happen next; otherwise, if the family head inquired, he wouldn’t escape unscathed.So he left the company and went to a café downstairs, ordering a coffee and leisurely waiting for Bobby to take care of everything."Take him down! Break his arms!" Bobby shouted.The men behind him advanced to attack Alexander.Suddenly!The sound of footsteps echoed, accompanied by a loud voice: "Mr. Thomas is here!"The office door swung open, and dozens of men in black suits stormed in!The man leading them, upright and wearing a gray suit, with a square face, strode forward under everyone’s gaze."Bobby
Windy stood anxiously beside Eleanor, as restless as an ant on a hot pan. She pulled out her phone, saying: “Eleanor, let's call the police!""Call the police?"Grace snatched the phone from Windy's hand and threw it forcefully to the ground, shouting: “Just try and see what happens!"Windy frightened, took a step back.Meanwhile, in the office, Bobby lay sprawled on the floor, his face swollen, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.Joshua stood respectfully beside Alexander. As Alexander rose, hands in his pockets, he looked coldly at Bobby lying there and said: “Now do you understand why?"Bobby wasn’t a fool. He quickly crawled to his knees before Alexander, nodding and pleading: “Y-Young Master Reynolds, I was wrong, I was wrong! I know I made a mistake. I didn't realize who you were, I offended you. I deserve to die!"Even if Bobby used the back of his foot to think, he could figure out that Alexander wasn’t the useless wastrel of legend. Even Joshua treated him with such r
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
