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.

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?

You’re way too cooperative.”Michal, looking like he was on the verge of tears, replied: “What else can I do? I don’t want to get hit. Just treat me like a fart and forget about me.”“Damn, with courage like yours, how are you even a boss? This is hilarious. Hey, you over there.” Kolby pointed at Alexander: “Step up and take a punch from me. When I swing, you fall backward dramatically.

    Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv

    Whoosh! Whoosh!The Mercedes-Benz SUV shot past the Lamborghini like an arrow, its immense air pressure rocking the Lamborghini to the side like a leaf swaying in the wind.“Holy shit! It overtook me! Its speed has definitely surpassed 240 mph—I think it’s hitting over 260 mph!” Justine exclaimed in panic.For Justine, 260 mph wasn’t an unusual speed. F1 races regularly hit such velocities, and even Nico’s Bugatti Veyron could easily reach 280 or 300 mph.But for an SUV to achieve such speeds was beyond anything Justine had seen or heard of. SUVs typically participated in endurance challenges, prioritizing rugged terrain capabilities over outright speed.Hearing Justine’s report on the Mercedes-Benz, the other wealthy racers fell silent.The Porsche supercar just ahead of Justine also noticed the menacing approach of the Mercedes-Benz.“I see it too. It’s overtaking me. My current speed is 265 mph.” the Porsche driver reported.Ryon, listening for a while, grew increasingly agitated:

They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone.

You can contact him yourself. I’ll take my men and leave. We won’t step foot in Golden Harbor again.”Michal didn’t want to get involved between Alexander and Tome.

Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..."
