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. Just one smile from her could captivate any man.

"Sherman~." the woman said, her voice sweet and seductive.

Sherman replied: "Follow the Young Master's orders."

"Yes." The woman turned and left the private room.

The next day, a sensational headline spread across Golden Harbor.

Today, the entire Golden Harbor was abuzz with this news.

Last night, a mysterious tycoon extravagantly booked the entire Skyline hotel for the 23rd!

Skyline hotel, the most luxurious 6-star hotel in Golden Harbor!

The expenditure for that alone costs millions per night!

Now, the mysterious tycoon has booked Skyline for an entire day, with initial expenses estimated to be at least 150 million!

This was just the cost for booking the venue!

Later, it was revealed that the mysterious tycoon booked the entire Skyline to celebrate his daughter's third birthday.

As this news spread, Golden Harbor was once again in an uproar!

Too much money!

What kind of person spends so much money to celebrate a daughter's birthday?

Instantly, all of Golden Harbor was abuzz with gossip.

Naturally, the Marshall family's company was also discussing this matter.

Early in the morning, the company's employees began to excitedly chatter.

"Hey, hey, have you heard? A mysterious tycoon booked the entire Skyline for 150 million!"

"I've heard about it already. They said it's for his daughter's birthday. That's way too much money. She must be a little princess!"

"On the 23rd, a lot of people are looking forward to that day. I heard the party will have 300 tables. Just calculating that, it'll cost at least a few billions!"

The employees gathered in small groups, chatting non-stop.

"Haha, if I remember correctly, the 23rd is also the birthday of Chairman Marshall's daughter, isn't it?"

Someone suddenly brought up.

Instantly, all the employees went quiet.

"No way, could the person who booked Skyline be Chairman Marshall?"

"Impossible, we all know Chairman Marshall's status in the Marshall family. Saying it's Old Master could be believable."

"Stop gossiping. I heard that the person who booked Skyline isn't from the Marshall family."

While everyone was excitedly discussing, Eleanor walked into the company, passing through the lobby.

She wore a white blouse, a black business skirt, her long legs wrapped in black stockings, lightly made-up, and her hair in a ponytail, looking very professional.

But as she entered the company, she felt the unusual gazes from everyone.

Eleanor had heard the morning news too. Passing through everyone's staring eyes, she hurried into her office.

Once inside, she closed the door behind her like fleeing into the wilderness, leaning against the door, clearly feeling helpless.

Who on earth booked Skyline for the 23rd, making her the target of everyone?

Eleanor was furious, feeling this person was deliberately causing trouble for her.

Coincidentally, it was also on the 23rd.

After working for a while, Tommy entered with a mocking, provocative attitude, walked straight to the sofa, and looking at Eleanor working diligently, he sarcastically said: "Eleanor, I heard someone booked the entire Skyline on the 23rd to celebrate his daughter's birthday."

Eleanor ignored Tommy and continued typing.

Tommy laughed twice, saying: "Haha, sharing the same birthday on the 23rd, his daughter gets to celebrate at Skyline, while someone's daughter can only celebrate in the hospital. Ridiculous."

Suddenly.

Eleanor's typing stopped, and she looked coldly at Tommy, saying: "If you have nothing else to say, please leave."

Tommy shrugged, showing an attitude of 'what can you do about it', saying: "Oh, angry now, but who is to blame? Both fathers of both children, one gets the whole city congratulating for his daughter's birthday, while Alexander doesn't even have the right to celebrate with Mary."

"Get out!"

Eleanor's voice turned icy, pointing to the door, shouting.

Tommy stood up, laughed twice, and said: "Eleanor, the day after tomorrow is the Marshall family's semi-annual summary meeting. This time, I'll make sure to kick you out of the company!"

With that, Tommy put his hands in his pockets, snorted, and left.

After Tommy left, Eleanor's reddened eyes shed a few tears. She wiped them away, took a deep breath, and continued working on her project.

But the more she worked, the more uncomfortable she felt!

For four years, she could endure the mockery from others directed at herself.

But she couldn't bear the mockery directed at her daughter.

Finally, she banged the keyboard a few times, laid her head on the desk, sobbed for a while, then lifted her beautiful face, took out her phone, and texted Alexander: "Alexander, where are you? I want to see you! Immediately!"

It's all his fault, making Mary a laughingstock. The girl is only 3 years old.

At this moment, Alexander was at work, having just sent off some wealthy women to the gym. Receiving Eleanor's message, he was a bit stunned.

Who made his wife so angry?

"I'm at work. What's wrong? I'll come to you right away." Alexander replied, then informed Manager Wang, and rode his electric scooter straight to Eleanor's company.

At the company entrance, as soon as Alexander stopped his electric scooter, he was confronted by a cold face coming towards him.

Smack!

Eleanor, with reddened eyes, walked up and slapped Alexander, her voice choking: "It's all your fault. Why are you Mary's father? Why are you my husband?"

Facing Eleanor's frenzy, Alexander was stunned.

"Eleanor, what on earth happened?" Alexander asked.

Eleanor wiped the tears from her face, coldly looked at Alexander, and asked: "Do you still not know? Do you know what day the 23rd is?"

"I know, it's Mary's birthday." Alexander replied.

"Then do you know what happened in Golden Harbor today? Everyone is laughing at me, laughing at Mary. Sharing the same birthday on the 23rd, someone booked the entire Skyline, while you, Alexander, don't even have the right to celebrate with Mary!"

Eleanor couldn't hold it in anymore. She squatted down on the ground, covering her face, and cried: "Why? Mary is only 3 years old, and she has to endure everyone's mockery and cold looks."

Alexander stood there looking at Eleanor, understanding the situation.

Then he clenched his fists and said: "Eleanor, do you know who booked the entire Skyline?"

Eleanor raised an eyebrow, stood up, and coldly looked at Alexander, saying: "Who? Was it you?"

Seeing Eleanor's pained expression, Alexander felt deeply uncomfortable and said: "That's right, the person who booked the entire Skyline is..."

Suddenly!

A cheerful male voice interrupted Alexander.

"Eleanor, there you are. I've been looking for you for a long time."

In front, a man in a white suit walked over, looking very handsome, holding a large bouquet of red roses in his hand.

Peyton Roberts, the young master of the Roberts family, also a billionaire second-generation with tens of billions, ran his own small company, and was considered a young talent in Golden Harbor.

Peyton Roberts was a crazy pursuer of Eleanor, even though Eleanor was married, he kept giving gifts and inviting Eleanor to dinner.

But Eleanor always refused.

"Eleanor, this is for you, I just bought it."

Peyton handed a large bouquet of roses to Eleanor, then wiped away tears, smiling: "Thank you, but I can't accept it."

As she spoke, Eleanor's eyes fell on Alexander. Four years, and when had he ever given her flowers?

Yes, just a bouquet of flowers, and he didn't even think to give her one.

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.

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?

    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?

    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

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

    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.

    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

    Tome is a seasoned player and could tell at a glance what Laurie was thinking. He grinned and extended his arms to embrace her."Well, well, beautiful, are you trying to seduce me? Don't rush, after I'm done with Eleanor, I'll play with both of you.""Young Master, you're too wicked. I'm not that kind of person.""Hahaha, look at you, clearly trying to tempt me. Later, I'll take revenge for you, and you'll have to repay me with your body, right? If you and Eleanor were twins, that would be perfect. The feeling of playing with sisters is the best."Tome became more amused, embracing Laurie and kissing her passionately. Laurie, leaning into his embrace, cooed: “Young Master, you're naughty. Could I help you teach Eleanor a lesson? She's not well-behaved, and if no one teaches her, she won't know how to serve you properly.""I'm not worried she won't serve me, I have many ways to teach beauties, but if you're willing to help, I agree. Let's see how you handle it."...Nana Arnold dressed
