Florence and Jack glowered by the window, practically brimming with poisonous contempt as they tore into Alex’s name.

“I swear to God,” Jack hissed, slamming his palm on the table, “the world’s gone completely insane if that incompetent asswipe actually owns this hotel.”

Florence leaned forward with a vicious glare, her words dripping with venom. “You’re telling me. That leech is just mooching off Jasmine’s good graces. Without her pity, he’d be homeless, rolling around in his own filth somewhere.”

Jack gave a low, humorless laugh, eyes brimming with envy.

“He probably crawled on all fours, begging like a stray dog to get this place under his name. And don’t even get me started on the ‘man-whore’ shtick—if I wanted to stoop that low, I’d blow that loser out of the water. At least I’ve got a shred of dignity.”

Florence scoffed. “Ha! Don’t flatter yourself, Jack. No one can sink to Alex’s level. He’s the champion of freeloaders. Now, Charles—there’s a real man: young, shrewd, polished.

    A woman woke up with a pounding headache, her body feeling heavy and sluggish. As she shifted slightly, she was shocked to find a naked stranger lying next to her. WTF?!She jolted awake, freezing in place.Panic started to rise as she tried desperately to remember how she ended up in a stranger's bed. Then, a terrifying realization hit her—she was naked and no longer a virgin. Just then, the man stirred, his dark eyes fluttering open and locking onto hers. “Wow, last night was incredible. Want to keep going?” He sat up casually, completely at ease, his flawless body on full display. He grabbed a bottle of water from the bedside table and offered it to her. “Here, drink this. You must be thirsty. We can pick up where we left off if you’re up for it.” Unable to contain her fear and anger any longer, the woman’s hand moved on its own, slapping him hard across the face. “Who are you? How did I end up here? What have you done to me?” The man, Alexander Leonhart, blinked, his ch

    "You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!” Sophia scoffed with disdain. “That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!" Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.” "You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust. "You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer." Alex laughed. "The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me." What a braggart!Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face. How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack? "You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just

    "Young Master, my only daughter was born sick, and now it's worse." Alfred's eyes filled with sorrow, "She's in pain every day. I've seen every doctor, spent a fortune, tried everything—nothing helps. She's only getting worse. Please, help her. I'll do anything."Alex gazed at him calmly. "I'll meet your daughter tomorrow." Alfred was stunned. He hadn’t expected His Highness would agree to lend a helping hand so easily.He grabbed Alex's hand, bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, my lord!" He whispered, his words heavy with all he felt. Previously, Alfred hadn’t believed his luck when his leader mentioned Alex's visit to Vancouver. Albert wasn’t entirely sure who Alex was. However, what he was certain was even his leader must kneel before Alex! If Alex’s was displeased, millions of lives could vanish. But if he was satisfied, even the dying could live! As the head of the Kingswell organization in Vancouver, Albert had heard the rumors. About a high-ranking figure known as "God

    As Alex approached the house entrance, Sophia noticed that Alex was behind her. "Haven’t you had enough?" "Believe me," Alex replied, "running into you is the last thing I wanted today." Sophia stepped out, blocking his path. "So, what is it then? Are you here to remind me of the biggest mistake of my life?" "Mistake?" Alex’s tone grew colder. "I could say the same. You think I enjoyed waking up and realizing I’d wasted my time with someone so shallow?" "Shallow?" Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger. "You’re just bitter because you know I’m right. You’re nothing but a loser, a gold-digger." Alex laughed, shaking his head. "You’re delusional. I don’t need anything from you, least of your money." Sophia stepped even closer, her finger jabbing the air between them. "Then what do you want? To ruin my life even more?" "No, I’m not here to ruin anything." Alex locked his eyes with hers. "I’m meeting my fiancée." "Your fiancée? You have a fiancée?" Sophia shocked. "I’m here to me

    "Old man, how can you marry off Sophia, our greatest beauty, to that poor man? Is your brain rotten or what?" Her anger grew. "My beautiful granddaughter can never marry a lowlife. She will marry Chris Roland! He’s wealthy and powerful, and can secure our family's future." "Chris Roland?" Abraham frowned. That hypocritical playboy?"Don’t you know Jerry Roland?" Lady Lancaster snapped. "He works for Alfred Kingston, who practically owns Vancouver. Chris is his only son. Marrying him ties our family to the Kingstons!" Sophia’s parents also looked at Alex, and a dissatisfied frown crept onto their faces. Alex wore a simple shirt typically seen on people of the lower-middle class, cheap and old shoes sold on the street, nothing about him screamed wealth. If Chris Roland was the young rich man with a company, this man was probably Chris’s cleaning service, paid with the lowest salary. Thinking their daughter would marry this loser already made their anger rise to the peak. “No w

    Alex shook his head and chuckled. He knew Sophia despised him."Sophia, let me show y—" He wanted to let Sophia see the real him a bit, but she turned her back to him and walked to the parking lot. A white four-seat Porsche Panamera pulled up and stopped in front of them. A stunning young woman stepped out of the car with effortless grace, her elegant dress and sparkling jewelry enhancing her high-fashion allure. "Sophia," she hugged Sophia."Lyra, thanks for coming," Sophia replied joyfully. "I came as soon as I could when I got your text." Lyra smiled while eyeing Alex from head to toe and shook her head. Not a single item of value detected from head to toe. Apart from being a bit handsome and having a somewhat fitting body, this man was totally worthless. When Sophia texted her and told her that she was forced to marry a loser and needed a helping hand, she had thought Sophia was exaggerating. But seeing Alex in person made her realize how unlucky Sophia was. Most of So

    Alex took out his smartphone and pressed the fast call number 9. “Good day, Mr. Leonhart. I am Julia, your First Royal Mastercard personal concierge. How may I assist you?” “Do you know where I am right now?” “Yes, your card has GPS. You are at Vancouver’s Noble Knight Club.” “I want to become a member.” “We are processing that now. You can use your Mastercard as the membership card,” Julia replied. The glass door suddenly opened. “Your membership has been approved. Do you need anything else, sir?” “No, thank you.” Alex put his smartphone in his pocket and walked into the club. The guard hurriedly blocked his path. “I think the system made an error. You cannot enter.” “I am a member here,” Alex explained. “Why do you think the system let me in?” The guard was confused but asked again, “Do you have a membership card? I want to check it. If you don’t have one, please leave.” Alex took out his First Royal Mastercard. The guard had never seen this kind of card before. “Sir

    "You talk as if you can beat me. Who do you think you are, a grand master?" Chris said with a smirk, "I doubt you have ever played this kind of game."Chris was confident that only wealthy men could afford such expensive toys, and Alex definitely didn't look like he could."There’s a first time for everything, right?" Alex shrugged casually.Chris laughed with contempt.It looked like victory were already assured.He touched his smartwrist, and a 3D hologram of a big mansion appeared."This mansion in West Vancouver is mine. I bet on it. If you lose, you’ll divorce Sophia."Chris had bought that house with his personal savings, thinking it would be the perfect place to take Sophia to spent night together, not too far from her house.He was already imagining having two babies with her there. He was putting up his best house because he couldn’t fathom losing to a complete newbie."Deal," Alex replied with an air of calm."Then what are we waiting for? The sooner you divorce Sophia, the

    Sophia threw her hands up in exasperation. “Wait, Alex! That’s not what I—”She never got the chance to finish. Almost on cue, the supervisor bustled back into the fray.In a place like this—where VIPs clawed for dominance by tearing down their rivals’ dignity—those without status had few options. When elephants fight, it’s the grass that suffers.Lacking any real authority, the staff had no choice but to bring in their highest-ranking official.After all, if one has no sword, one must learn to dance in the shadows of those who do.That official arrived in the form of a sharply dressed general manager, whose very presence could hush a room.Clearing his throat, he stepped forward with an air of cold efficiency.“I’m the general manager,” he announced, his voice cutting through the tension. “How may I be of assistance?”Jack practically shoved a finger in Alex’s face.“Finally! Listen up—we’ve got ourselves a freeloading loser over here,” he snarled. “I want him kicked out immediately

    Jack's face contorted into an indignant scowl."Hey! Get me your manager—right now!" he snapped.He punctuated his demand with a swift kick at the trembling young waiter sprawled on the floor. "I'm done dealing with amateurs!"The startled rookie flinched, eyes wide with fear.Before he could stammer out a response, his supervisor swiftly intervened, maintaining a practiced, polite smile as he helped the shaken waiter to his feet.“My apologies, sir,” the supervisor began.“Our manager is currently attending to three other important guests. May I ask what seems to be the problem? I’m sure we can work something out.”Jack sneered, looking the supervisor up and down like he was lower than dirt. “Oh? And who exactly do you think you are, butting in here?”"I’m his supervisor," the man replied evenly, maintaining his composure."This young waiter is under my supervision. Allow me to offer you a ten percent discount on your entire bill to make up for the inconvenience."Before Jack could r

    “Uncle Raymond.” Lyra crossed her arms and leaned back with a casual sneer.“Truth be told, I don’t believe in anything but cold, hard cash,” she said.“Speaking of which, how about the Cheval Blanc Hotel paperwork? Let’s skip the drama. Why don’t you have Alex sign and hand it over?”Raymond went deathly pale.Cheval Blanc had always been his golden goose—he’d never let go of that gem without a fight.But he forced a thin, unconvincing smile. “My lawyers are handling it,” he lied, fishing for time. In truth, he’d already told his bodyguards: if Alex refuses to cooperate, use force—hostage, murder, whatever it takes to cure him.Yet, the Plan needed to be changed, everyone suddenly realize Alex was no easy mark.One slap could kill a man, and the bodyguards seemed hesitant to test him again.Raymond realized he’d have to shift gears before things turned ugly.“Fine,” he spat, snatching his phone and barking at his legal team through a video call, “Draft the transfer papers for Cheval

    Raymond frantically dialed number after number, desperate for anyone who could save him.But every time the call connected and people arrived, the answer was the same—no one could handle whatever was tearing him apart from the inside.His breath came in ragged gasps, and blood oozed from the corner of his eye.A sudden wave of horror crushed him: he was running out of time. He practically stabbed at his phone.“Lyra…!”Lyra’s voice sounded maddeningly calm on the other end. “Uncle Raymond. So… have you finally prepared the Cheval Blanc paperwork?”“You little wretch,” Raymond snarled, his voice cracking with anguish. “I told my people to handle it, all right? Tell your man to get over here and fix me!”Lyra only snorted. “You’re the one begging for help, Uncle. Doesn’t seem polite to order him around like some lapdog, does it?”Raymond’s pain spiked; his vision blurred red. Still, he forced down his fury and stammered, “Fine—where’s Alex? I’ll come to him myself.”Lyra sounded almost

    Lyra leaned back with a smirk curling her lips. “Well, Uncle Raymond, I’m not sure you resemble anything in particular… but I trust Alex’s opinion on the matter.”Raymond snorted so hard it nearly rattled the phone line. “Huh! I have no idea how that tiny fraud managed to brainwash you. What’s his secret?”She shrugged with practiced indifference.“Beats me. Maybe it was just meant to be. Anyway, the clock is ticking. You’ve got half a day left before our bet closes. If you’re still as healthy as an ox by sunset, I’ll hand over the goods I promised. But I hope you’ve set aside your ‘payment’ for the cure if—and when—you need it.”Raymond’s voice turned coarse. “Payment? You’re not talking about those rare herbs from my vault, are you?”Lyra’s eyes rolled skyward as if she couldn’t believe his stupidity.“Don’t get confused, Uncle. The bet is simple: I wager my entire herb plantation; you wager that precious stash of yours. That’s separate from any cure you might suddenly find yourself

    “What do you mean, fix everything?” Sophia asked, her brows furrowing.“Sophia,” Florence stepped forward and grabbed her hand.“Charles has regained his position as the Prince of Vancouver. Right now, he has all of the Kingston power back. Our Lancaster Group and partnership are already safe.”“And he promised to help us eagerly. Meanwhile, he’ll try to recover the money that Marco took from us.”Jack arrogantly walked over, a smug grin on his face.“That means we can get our money back. This is all thanks to Charles.”“Really?” Sophia asked, still finding all of this hard to believe.It felt unreal."Of course," Megan sneered. "Or do you seriously believe Alex is capable of this?"“No!”Alex had only made a call to Jasmine, and as far as she knew, nothing had come from it yet.Charles had solved everything.Apart from his good looks, Alex was just an average man. There was nothing special about him.She must be delusional.“Sophia, Charles saves the Lancasters! We owe him.” Florence

    “What the hell are you doing?!” Megan yelled as the cold drink drenched her from head to toe.Josephine replied without missing a beat. “Right back at you, you psycho! Why’d you come here just to harass people? What’s your problem?”Megan narrowed her eyes. “Do you know who this guy is?”Josephine shot her a bright grin. “Sure do. He’s my bestie. If you’ve got an issue with him, you’ll have to deal with me first.”“He’s a scammer—a total gigolo! He trashed his ex-wife’s company out of petty jealousy because Jessica Hilton treated him like a toy boy. Ask him if I’m lying!” Megan pointed a furious finger at Alex.Josephine placed her hands on her hips, meeting Megan’s glare with a fearless smirk. “I don’t believe a single word coming out of your mouth. So scram, crazy woman.”Megan opened her mouth to retort, but all that came out was a frustrated hiss.Her cheeks burned with anger. “Oh, so that’s how it is, huh?

    Scarface approached Josephine with a carefully practiced smile, his voice mild yet charged with tension.“Forgive me, Ms. Everheart. I bear full responsibility for that slob’s behavior. Clearly, I’ve failed in keeping my people in line. I promise to make it right.”Josephine raised an eyebrow, leveling him with a cool, assessing look. “My, aren’t you the picture of fairness and justice, Mister Scarface. I’m almost impressed.”He let out a strained chuckle, something guilty flickering behind his eyes. “Just doing what’s right, ma’am. That manager’s long overdue for a lesson in manners.”He gestured for her to head back into the office. “If you’d follow me, we can wrap up the paperwork. I’ll see to it that the money’s wired into your account by day’s end.”Josephine hesitated, glancing at the contract on Kelvin’s battered desk. “I only need a hundred thousand,” she said, a cautious lilt in her voice.Scarface dismissed her concern with a flick of his wrist.“Trust me, it’s fine.
