Helen brought Alexander inside the house. When they entered the living room, they saw Mr. Baker, Helen's father, already seated and patiently waiting. Without paying much attention to Mr. Baker, Alexander simply found a seat for himself. Mr. Baker didn't like Alexander's attitude and was unhappy with it, but he decided to tolerate it because he had a plan in mind.Mr. Baker greeted Alexander, saying, "Welcome to my humble home, Alexander," without sounding overly humble or dominant.However, Alexander being his usual self, responded, "If this place is a humble home, then I must be living in a trash can."Mr. Baker felt embarrassed by Alexander's comment, but Alexander didn't seem to care. Getting straight to the point, he asked, "What do you want?""I heard that the Taylor family tried to have you killed before, but you managed to survive. Now, they're trying to harm my daughter as well. It's obvious they have a strong desire to cause trouble for my family. And you know i also take yo
Gem Taylor, his teeth clenched, expressed frustration by asking, "Why won't he just die?" Despite three attempts made on Alexander's life, two direct and one indirect, he managed to survive. This led Gem to wonder if Alexander was truly invincible. Alexander wasn't as powerful as he was yet he kept giving him headaches.Gem walked anxiously back and forth in the living room before finally making a decision. He declared, "The Chen family leader's upcoming birthday party presents an opportunity. Our plans with the Baker family will no longer go smoothly, after all we have fallen out. We will use the birthday celebration as an opportunity to propose a marriage alliance with the Chens. Prepare a birthday gift befitting the head of the Chen family. I believe I have the perfect gift in mind for the marriage proposal.""Yes, master," one of the servants replied, and the two servants promptly left to carry out Gem's instructions.The next day, Alexander was at home when Isabel brought in the
Finally, the day everyone had been eagerly anticipating had arrived – the birthday celebration! People who had received a special invitation were allowed to bring a single companion with them. Meanwhile, those who hadn't received an invitation were still welcome to join the festivities, but they were directed to a separate room reserved just for them. These non-invitees comprised mostly of ordinary individuals, and due to the limited space, they couldn't be seated together with the families who had received formal invitations.The hosts of the celebration wanted to ensure that all guests felt comfortable and had a wonderful time. That's why they carefully organized the seating arrangements to accommodate everyone's needs. The big families, who had received the much-coveted invitations, were seated in the main hall where they could enjoy the lively atmosphere and be part of the central festivities.On the other hand, the guests without invitations were guided to a smaller, yet equally
As for Arthur, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Wow, Mr. Greece really knows how to make a surprising entrance! He's quite impressive."While the Forbes family duo looked on, they were secretly scolding Alexander in their minds, saying, "Oh no, Alexander, why don't you realize that wherever you go, you're representing Young Master G? Be more careful!" But they didn't dare say anything aloud because no one else knew about the connection between Young Master G and Alexander. They feared that if they accidentally revealed it, they might have to pay a terrible price, even with their lives.Mr. Duncan, who was the boss of Swiftway Delivery Company, the very first company that Alexander had acquired after facing mistreatment, was overjoyed to see him. He had been worried that Alexander had forgotten about him, especially after Alexander said he had plans to expand the company back then.Still wearing his friendly smile, Alexander confidently led the way, and Isabelle followed closely
Everyone looked displeased as they saw Alexander getting involved. The second rate families who had received invitations started talking among themselves."Isn't that the young man who arrived in a taxi?""He's quite audacious, challenging the Taylor family."Alexander paid no attention to the chatter and casually walked forward with Isabelle trailing behind him, until he reached Gem. Surprisingly, he ignored Gem and instead focused on Old Mr. Chen."Old Mr. Chen, I wish you a happy birthday and many more years to come," Alexander spoke warmly."Thank you," replied Old Mr. Chen.Then, Alexander turned to Mr. Morgan and said, "So, you must be Mr. Morgan? I've been looking forward to meeting you. It's my pleasure to make your acquaintance." He extended his hand towards Mr. Morgan.Mr. Morgan was confused but still shook hands with Alexander. Then, Alexander turned to John and complimented him, saying, "You're a very capable young man, and I truly admire you. However, there's one aspect
Gem immediately became angry and turned around, saying, "Don't go too far. Don't you have respect for your elders? Did your grandfather not teach you anything?"John felt upset when Gem spoke ill of his grandfather. However, Gem held the same status as his grandfather, so John couldn't take any action. He looked at Alexander, who was still eating, and said, "I've done my part. Isn't it time for you to do yours?"Alexander lazily stood up and replied, "Sure." He took a few steps and stood in front of Gem Taylor, delivering a hard slap that made Gem's mouth bleed."Are you so weak? I wanted to slap you some more," Alexander said, as everyone looked on in shock.Gem felt provoked and exclaimed, "How dare you, Alexander?"Alexander casually responded, "Isabelle, if he says another word, slap him. If he says two words, slap him twice, continuously."Gem frowned, "Alexander, do you think....." However, before he could finish his words, he received four slaps. His face was not just bleeding
Old Mr. Chen made a response, saying, "Many people believe that the Forbes family is connected to young master G and that both Arthur and the Forbes family have the support of young master G. However, if I'm not mistaken, Arthur is your subordinate and I can confidently say that you have complete control over the Forbes family, am I right?"Alexander's face lit up with a dangerous expression as he replied, "You are not wrong, indeed."Old Mr. Chen sensed the impending danger and said, "Rest assured, I won't reveal your secret. I wouldn't dare expose your true identity. It's clear to me that you possess more power than even we, the top five families in Fairview. All I desire is to be your friend, nothing more."Taking a sip of his tea, Alexander remarked, "This tea is excellent.""Are you familiar with tea too?" inquired Old Mr. Chen.Shaking his head, Alexander responded, "No, I don't know much about tea. However, this particular tea is truly delicious."Old Mr. Chen shared, "I person
The Taylor family had come back home. Gem Taylor was both embarrassed and angry. His grandson had made him lose respect in front of others. Additionally, Alexander slapped him in public, completely disregarding Gem's reputation and dignity.Gem gritted his teeth and swore, "Alexander, I promise you will pay for this."Noah, on the other hand, felt extremely embarrassed. As soon as he reached home, he retreated to his room. Despite his grandfather's affection for him, Noah could sense that his grandfather was currently furious.As time passed, the initial events that had taken place at the birthday celebration of the patriarch of the Chen family began to fade away, becoming buried under the passing weeks. Though the memory of the events lingered in people's minds, specifically the second-rate families who were there and had witnessed the scene, no one dared to openly discuss it, fully aware of the potential consequences. The situation was volatile, and just like a single match can ign
