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.
Lisa furrowed her brow and asked: “Is there someone else secretly pursuing you? Tell me, and I'll help you figure it out."Eleanor rolled her eyes at Lisa and scolded: “What nonsense are you talking about?"Then she glanced at Alexander, who was busy in the kitchen, and suddenly thought of something. She whispered: “Last time, Alexander asked me if I admired Malik..."Lisa was shocked, holding the golden invitation in her hand, and looked suspiciously towards the kitchen along with Eleanor, whispering: “You're not saying that Alexander got this invitation, are you?"Eleanor remained silent, not knowing why the thought had suddenly crossed her mind.According to Lisa, there were only ten of these golden invitations in all of Golden Harbor!If Peyton wasn't qualified to get one, how could Alexander possibly get it?Lisa smirked, her eyes cold as she watched Alexander's busy figure in the kitchen. She was full of disdain and said: “Alright, Eleanor, I know you've always hoped that Alexan
Just then, a woman in a black gown approached, smiling as she addressed Eleanor: “Excuse me, are you Ms. Marshall?”Eleanor was startled but nodded: “Yes, that’s me.”“Good evening, I’m the director here. My name is Pandora.” Pandora said with a smile, her eyes briefly glancing at Peyton.The director of LightHouse?!Eleanor asked in surprise: “Director Jake, is there something I can help you with?”“If it’s convenient for you, Ms. Marshall, please follow me.” Pandora replied with a polite smile.Eleanor exchanged a look with Lisa and then said: “Sure.”Suddenly remembering something, Eleanor took out the golden invitation from her bag and asked: “By the way, Director Jake, I’d like to confirm something—who sent me this invitation?”Peyton seized the opportunity to speak up, laughing: “Eleanor, of course, I sent it! I even have a surprise for you later, but I didn’t expect Director Jake to personally deliver it.”He then gave a grateful nod to Pandora, saying: “Director Jake, you’re t
Right after, the door to the lounge was pushed open from the outside. At that moment, Eleanor, with Lisa in tow, stood at the entrance, her expression filled with urgency.Her eyes immediately locked onto someone inside the room...Clack clack clack!Eleanor, in her high heels, walked straight inside. Her gaze fell on Pandora as she smiled and said: “Sorry for the intrusion, Director Jake, but I have a question for you."Pandora was surprised, her face showing confusion. Why had Ms. Marshall suddenly returned?&
Valeria glared furiously, her eyes wide with anger, and loudly berated Alexander: "Alexander, if you're still a man, then don't ever step foot in my house again! I, Valeria, have nothing to do with you anymore. The Marshall family does not welcome useless people like you! I want you and Eleanor to get divorced this very afternoon!"Eleanor's face turned cold as she anxiously said: “Mother, what are you saying? Why do you have such a grudge against Alexander?"As she spoke, Eleanor brought the groceries inside, giving Alexander a glance, signaling him not to be upset.Valeria, who had been irritated over the past few days after spending time with her sisters, felt particularly annoyed with Alexander. She couldn't fathom why she had to put up with Alexander's unreasonable anger.Simply put, she couldn't stand the sight of Alexander, so she shouted at him, her eyes narrowing with disdain: "Just look at him, always with that gloomy face, like there's been a death in the family. How can I
Alexander quickly abandoned the idea of cooking lunch and pulled Eleanor out of the house: “Something’s about to go wrong; we need to find your mom, fast!"Meanwhile, Valeria happily entered her password and checked the balance."Oh, Alexander actually has money in this card. Let’s see how much there is.""Thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, hundred million, billion, ten billion, hundred billion...!”Valeria furrowed her brows, thinking she was seeing things—why are there so many zeros?"This... this is 3 trillion?!"Valeria was so shocked she froze!She could barely breathe!Three... 3 trillion?Gasp...With a thud, Valeria felt her vision go dark as she fell backward to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably!At that moment, a few bystanders gathered around, pointing and whispering.“Oh dear, it looks like she’s having a seizure. Someone call an ambulance!”“Hurry, get help, quick!”“This doesn’t look good; I noticed something earlier...”Soon afte
"Please wait a moment, I’ll go get our manager right away."At this point, the female staff member, having snapped out of her shock, bowed and then staggered towards the manager’s office.Karen Stone, not bothering to knock, burst into the office, shouting: “Manager, manager, something huge has happened!"At that moment, Bank Manager Archer Stanley was flirting with his mistress in the office, who was also a bank staff member.Karen inadvertently walked in and, seeing the situation, quickly turned to leave, saying: “Sorry, I’ll step out."Archer Stanley's face turned cold as he pushed the woman away from his desk and said sternly: “Karen, what’s with the panic? Don’t you know Rule 13 for staff?"Karen was frightened, bowed her head, and kept apologizing.The bank staff member, having dressed, huffed at Karen and arrogantly walked out."Speak, what’s going on?" Archer, annoyed at being interrupted halfway through his pleasure, asked grumpily.Karen rushed forward and said: “Manager, th
After Eleanor left, Archer called Alexander, his face displaying a respectful, flattering smile: “Young Master Reynolds, Ms. Marshall just came to see me, and I told her as you instructed."At this moment, Alexander was leaving the hospital, nodded in acknowledgment, and hung up.He breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and decided to prepare a candlelit dinner.As a little surprise for Eleanor.Life occasionally needed a touch of romance.Alexander cho
