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
Mr. Marshall was so angry that he was short of breath, yelling: “That Alexander too, what is he trying to do? His actions are bringing disaster upon the Marshall family! You, call them both right now and tell them to return to the company immediately and wait for me!""Yes, Grandfather."Although outwardly Tommy appeared anxious and worried, inside, he was grinning coldly.Haha! Let's see how Eleanor and Alexander will escape this one!Eleanor's position as Vice President is definitely shaky now.A few minutes later, while Eleanor was at the hospital, she received a call from Tommy, and then a furious shout echoed through the phone: "Eleanor, you and Alexander need to come back to the company immediately!"Eleanor coldly responded when she heard Tommy's voice: “Sorry, I’m not available right now.""You've got some nerve! Grandfather told me to inform both of you!" Tommy yelled, while Mr. Marshall's face grew even darker as he shouted: “Eleanor, bring that Alexander back with you and w
Hearing this, Eleanor was stunned and shouted: “Grandfather really did this? I don't believe it, I want to go inside!" She rushed forward.The guards pushed her back and shouted: “If you try to enter again, we won't be so polite!"Eleanor, standing on high heels, lost her balance and fell backward.Luckily, Alexander arrived just in time, catching Eleanor around her slender waist, and anxiously asked: “Are you okay?"Eleanor steadied herself and shook her head, her face full of worry: “I'm fine, Alexander, but my grandfather has dismissed me as Deputy General Manager and expelled me from the company."Upon hearing this, Alexander's face turned cold. He glanced at the three security guards in anger and said in a cold voice: “Apologize to her!"Anger surged within him!They dared to push Eleanor. What if she had fallen down the steps and gotten hurt?Just a few security guards, yet they acted like arrogant dogs, turning on her as soon as they could!The three security guards sneered whe
After speaking, Tommy shot a glance at Eleanor, his eyes full of schadenfreude.Arturo was here, so Eleanor and Alexander were certainly done for!Tommy extended his hand, eager to shake hands with Arturo.Arturo, the head of the Jones family, was considered the second most powerful family in Golden Harbor, with status that was at least equal to, if not higher than, the Marshall family.Moreover, he was an investor in Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals, so Tommy knew he had to be careful. Mr. Marshall was stunned for half a minute before he finally reacted. His face was full of disbelief as he asked: “Director Jones, are you serious?""Of course.” Arturo replied: “I've already understood the situation. It was Grace who made the mistake first. We came specifically to apologize to Vice President Marshall, and I hope that from now on, you won't make things difficult for her."After speaking, Arturo turned around and bowed deeply to Eleanor, leading his daughter to do the same: “Vice President Marshall, we're very sorry for causing you trouble."Grace also apologized: “I'm sorry. I shouldn't have troubled you. Today, I sincerely apologize for everything I've done."Bobby, facing Alexander, said with a look of regret: “Sir... Young Master Reynolds, I apologize. I was too impulsive today. I hope you won't hold it against me and won't mention this to Mr. Thomas or Mr. Pittman..."Before he could finish, Alexander cut him off: “Alright, it's fine. I won't hold it against you. Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 88: Whose Invitation?
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
