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
Jordan laughed and said: “It seems like Quinton's information wasn't accurate. We thought you were doing pretty badly, but it turns out you're doing really well now."At that moment, Helen returned, and indeed, after touching up her makeup, she looked even more stunning.She kept smiling at Alexander, and when she sat down, she intentionally crossed her legs in a suggestive manner, saying: “Handsome, if you get the chance, take us to your store sometime. I've got some free time lately, so you can invite me out to have some fun."This comment startled Alexander.Was this woman being that blatant?Wasn’t she clearly trying to seduce him?Jordan laughed, mocking: “Alexander, come to think of it, you missed the last few reunions for our old colleagues.""Even though we've all left Spa Ava Beautiful, we were still coworkers once. This time you have to come, especially since Quinton booked a room at Iron Lions. You can't say no."Alexander was a bit surprised: “Today?"Jordan nodded and sai
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
