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
"Investigate the Jones family, the investors in Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals for me. Warn them that if they continue causing trouble for Eleanor, the Jones family won’t find peace in Golden Harbor.” Alexander said calmly."Young Master Reynolds, rest assured, I will handle it properly.” Thorne replied.After hanging up, Thorne was about to have his subordinates take care of it but decided it would be better to personally call the head of the Jones family.At that moment, Arturo Jones was pacing back and forth in his mansion, seething with anger.His daughter had been crying about her grievances, and his son had been beaten to a pulp.The most concerning part was that the person who assaulted them was Mr. Thomas of Golden Harbor!This put Arturo Jones, who always covered up wrongdoings, in a very difficult position."Dad, you have to stand up for me. That Alexander is just a worthless live-in son-in-law of the Marshall family! Yet he dared to hit me! And that b**** Eleanor, she had the a
