A piercing screeching sound jolted Alexander's senses, as if a heavy vehicle was struggling to come to an abrupt stop.
The sudden noise left him stunned and a sense of apprehension gripped him, causing him to question his impulsive decision to jump. Perhaps it wasn't the best choice after all, he thought to himself.Just as he was trying to collect his thoughts, a distinguished-looking and elegant man probably in his fifties emerged from the vehicle that had screeched to a halt. The man's authoritative voice boomed out, commanding him to stop. Alexander's heart raced with nervous energy as he watched the man approach him, wondering who he was."Young master, it's time to take over the assets not the time to die" The well-dressed man approached Alexander, he executed a graceful bow, displaying a sense of respect and formality."Why are you calling me 'young master'?" Alexander asked, his voice laced with confusion and a hint of suspicion.The well-dressed man let out a weary sigh, his eyes portraying a sense of longing mixed with relief."It's indeed been too long. Hopefully, I wasn't too late. Can we go somewhere quieter to talk?" the man suggested.Alexander nodded absentmindedly, still trying to piece together the puzzle of this unexpected encounter. He followed the man to his car, his mind racing with questions.The vehicle that Alexander had the pleasure of experiencing was a black, sleek car that had a distinctly low profile. Although it appeared to be compact from the outside, the moment he stepped inside, it was clear that this car was not lacking in luxury.The interior of the car was outfitted with a range of high-end amenities, including a small TV screen that provided entertainment for the passengers.The seats were upholstered in a soft, supple material that offered a comfortable and inviting place to sit, and the interior lighting was warm and inviting, creating a cozy ambiance within the vehicle.Despite its small size, the car was surprisingly spacious, with ample legroom and headroom that ensured passengers never felt cramped or confined.The vehicle was also exceptionally quiet, with minimal road noise and a smooth, comfortable ride that made it easy to forget that one was even traveling in a car.This car was a true testament to the power of engineering and design, offering a sleek, stylish exterior that was matched only by its luxurious and comfortable interior.As the car pulled up to a small cafe, Alexander and the elegant man sat silently in the back seat, while the driver focused on navigating the streets. The lack of conversation between them was palpable, and the tension in the air was almost tangible.After a few minutes, they arrived at their destination, a quaint little cafe with an open sign hanging on the door. It was clear that the cafe was open for business, but there wasn't a single customer inside. Alexander and the middle-aged man, still wordlessly following one another, walked inside and ordered a cup of coffee each.As they waited for their coffee, the middle-aged man let out a deep sigh, as if carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders."I never expected that this day would come," he muttered quietly to himself, his words tinged with a sense of resignation.Alexander looked at him quizzically, wondering what he meant, but the man simply stared off into the distance, lost in thought.The silence between them was deafening, broken only by the sound of the coffee machine churning out their drinks. It was clear that something heavy was weighing on the man's mind, but Alexander didn't want to pry. Instead, he sipped his coffee in silence, content to let the man speak when he was ready."Allow me to introduce myself, I am Jameson Pierce, and I have the role of serving as the butler for the Greece family. What I may say might seem like an unexpected revelation to you , but I assure you that anything I say is true. As the family butler, it is my responsibility to ensure that the family's affairs are in order,"The man paused for a moment and looked at Alexander, a mix of emotions crossing his face. He then continued, "And speaking of family, You, Alexander Greece are the the grandson of the family's helmsman and as such, you are the direct heir of the Greece family.""What Greece family?" For the first time, Alexander spoke with a hint of curiosity in his voice.Jameson Pierce, who had just mentioned the name, replied, "The Greece family of the capital." He spoke in a calm and measured tone, as if it was a well-known name.Upon hearing the response, Alexander let out a sudden burst of laughter. It was so unexpected that it caught Jameson off guard.His laughter was loud and unrestrained, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the century. It was unclear why he found the mention of this family amusing."I Alexander, the successor of the Greece family residing in the capital city. Please, sir, stop playing jokes on me." With a chuckle, he said, "Let me take a guess, are we secretly recording a scriptless movie right now?"With a serene expression, Jameson Pierce's lips curled up into a smile as he deftly tapped away at his phone screen. Within moments, he had composed a message and hit send, prompting his personal driver to stride confidently into the cozy little café where Jameson was seated with Alexander.Within a minute, his driver strode into the cafe, carrying a sleek briefcase. The driver handed the case over to Jameson before retreating discreetly.Without wasting any time, Jameson popped open the briefcase and extracted a thick stack of important documents, which he then laid out meticulously on the table in front of Alexander.The documents seemed to be of great importance, and Jameson's focused demeanor portrayed the gravity of the situation at hand.Alexander began to casually flip through the documents and in the next moment, he froze!!!After laying eyes on his birth certificate and a handful of other official documents that confirmed his identity, Alexander was left in a state of utter shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was it really possible that he was who these papers said he was? Turning to Jameson, the butler of the Greece family, he posed the question that was on his mind: "Is it really true? Am I really...?" Jameson replied with a solemn nod, as if he understood the gravity of the situation better than anyone. Alexander was filled with a jumble of different emotions, unable to process them all at once. One moment, he had been living a life of poverty, feeling like there was no hope left and was about to end it all, in the next he was being told that he was the heir to one of the most powerful families in the entire country. It was difficult to put into words just how much this revelation had upended Alexander's life. The implications were staggering. He was overwhelmed by the weight of resp
"Doctor!! Doctor!! Nurse!!" Alexander yelled as he ran frantically through the hospital corridors. He couldn't find his mother and was extremely worried. He had become rich and wanted to share the news with his mother and make sure she was healthy, but she was nowhere to be found. Alexander's heart was racing, and he was filled with fear. "Be quiet!" someone passing by scolded him. But Alexander ignored them and rushed to the doctor's office. He knew it was late at night and the hospital was supposed to be quiet, but he didn't care. His mother meant everything to him. As he arrived at the doctor's office, he pushed the door open with force and demanded, "Doctor, where is my mother?" The tall, thin doctor with glasses looked at him puzzled and asked angrily, "Who is your mother, young man? And how dare you barge in here?" The security guards working in the hospital had already begun making their way towards the Doctor's office. They had been notified of someone causing a disturb
The following morning, the members of the Johnson family were in a frenzied rush to gather at their ancestral home. The patriarch of the family, Grandpa Johnson, had urgently summoned them for a meeting. The tone and manner in which the message was conveyed made it evident that this was a matter of great significance. Last night, after Emily had made a proposal for the divorce with Alexander, the atmosphere in the house became tensed and silent, there were no further discussions about it until this morning when Emily informed everyone of the meeting at the ancestral home stating it was also mandatory for Alexander to attend. Of course, the happiest in the house after hearing Emily's proposal of divorce was her mother, Esther. The only comment she made after that was, "Oh! Good riddance," In the past, Alexander wasn't usually allowed to the meetings of the members of the Johnson family. The Johnson's saw him as an eyesore and did not view him as a part of their family, hence why the
Hearing that name and the sound of the voice, Alexander's expression turned dark and dismal. It wasn't the first time he had crossed paths with Ethan. The initial encounter had taken place at the hotel, and now, Ethan was proposing to his wife, despite not being officially divorced yet. This was a huge insult to Alexander, and he couldn't help but feel angry and resentful towards Ethan. In stark contrast to Alexander's reaction, Grandpa Johnson, who was sitting in the most prominent seat in the Johnson's meeting hall, got up to welcome Ethan with open arms. He didn't care about Ethan's status, even though he was just the young master of the Blackwell family. In fact, Ethan had a higher status than Grandpa Johnson, who was only the head of a third rate family. The other members of the Johnson family also rushed out to greet Ethan, including Esther, Emily's mother, who was overly enthusiastic about his visit. Esther saw Ethan's proposal as a chance to secure a life of luxury for her da
As Alexander rode his scooter, he couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness that had been lingering within him. Wanting to distract himself from his thoughts, he decided to head to a nearby bank to check his balance and withdraw some cash as he needed to purchase a new phone that would allow him to access his email and check the responsibilities of the heir of the Greece family. Before leaving his house to the meeting earlier, he had messaged someone at work, informing them that he wouldn't be able to come in today. He was planning to go to work either later that day or the next day to tender his resignation. Entering the bank, Alexander was greeted with a sight that he wasn't particularly fond of - a long queue of regular people waiting to be served at one counter, and an empty VIP counter. Not wanting to waste any time waiting ,he walked towards the VIP center. As he approached the counter, he was met with a cold reception from the blonde haired lady sitting there. She had
John was well aware of the importance of customer relations. He understood that the behavior of a GUB cardholder who frequented their branch could either elevate or ruin the reputation of the bank. In particular, if a GUB cardholder such as Alexander were to withdraw a large sum of money from the bank, it could lead to operational difficulties, this could put him in serious trouble. If Alexander really had the need for a billion dollars, it was better to do it electronically through transfers. That wouldn't harm the bank but benefit it instead. The manager had no other option but to set aside his pride. He quickly knelt down while performing the Chinese custom of kowtowing, where one bows their head to the ground in a show of deep respect. This gesture was so intense that the manager's forehead began to bleed, attracting the attention of passersby at the bank. These onlookers, who had initially mocked Alexander were now surprised by the manager's extreme show of contrition. The
The response from the other end of the line drove Alexander in shock. Jameson, the butler of the family had told him Arthur White was his personal assistant and infact the White's Group which belonged to him was part of Alexander's assets. Alexander wondered, "Why did he respond that way or is he unaware he was made my personal assistant?" As Alexander was lost in thought, the owner of the delivery company interrupted his reverie with a mocking laugh. Mimicking Alexander's earlier words, the owner exclaimed, "Hello, Mr. White, Alexander Greece here. I assume you know me. I have something for you to do." The owner then went on to sneer at Alexander, questioning his supposed connection to Mr. White and ridiculing his current employment in a small company. "Ah, if you really had connections to Mr. White, would you be working in my small company?" he asked rhetorically. "I thought you even had a support and not here fooling yourself. Do you think just anyone can know Mr. White or even
"Please don't leave, Mr. Greece," pleaded Mr. Ducan, the delivery company owner, as he hurriedly made his way towards Alexander, panting and out of breath. "I never knew Mountain Tai was right in front of me. Please forgive me." Alexander frowned upon seeing Mr. Ducan and asked, "What do you want?" "I'm willing to atone for my mistakes towards you. Please, Mr. Greece, I shouldn't have done that," Mr. Ducan kept bowing as he spoke. Allen, who was present, watched with his mouth wide open. He had not expected Mr. Ducan to come back groveling and begging for forgiveness from Alexander. Meanwhile, Alexander maintained his composure and simply smiled, seemingly unfazed by the situation. "Mr. Ducan, you just fired me with no salary and kicked me out of your company. Why are you calling me back now?" he asked with a straight face. Mr. Ducan pleaded, "It was my mistake. I was a fool to have done that. I shouldn't have let others lead me by the nose. Please Mr. Greece, don't leave me like
