"So, let me handle this matter for you." Alex spoke while he took a deep breath. He didn't want to take the back seat while a friend was being undervalued by some prick like Nathan, treating her like an investment.

"En.." Emily hesitated for a second before nodding.

In fact, Alex found it tricky to make an enemy out of Nathan; after all, Nathan wasn't some random A'hole, as he was the young master of the Lester family. He had to avoid a physical confrontation with him.

"Acting like knights in stunning armor... Aren't we?" Young master Nathan narrowed his gaze at Alex and Emily. "You're lusting over my fiancée; how long have you been in a relationship?"

Alex frowned, not really knowing what to say after all he was merely dragged into this conflict.

Seeing Alex's lack of response and also Emily, whose eyes were darting around, young master Nathan was puzzled at first, but then something clicked in his mind, and he let out a burst of laughter without restraint.

"Pfft, so that's how it i

    Fortunately, this prick of a young master Nathan hadn't brought his bodyguards with him. Otherwise, Alex would find it hard to resolve this incident. Nevertheless, it was still a problem.On the other hand, young master Nathan finally understood that he couldn't do anything against Alex and Emily, for now..."I hope you two don't regret your decision later on; don't blame me for being ruthless." With that, Nathan Lester snorted before leaving in resentment.Meanwhile, Alex was surprised to see this side of Emily; she sure has a fiery attitude. He felt like giving her the thumbs-up!He couldn't help but let out a sigh; momentarily, things were resolved. But Nathan Lester's words still leave a lasting impression and are dreadful. He was right when that b*stard said that they should be afraid—no, rather, of the Lester family's wealth.With their connection and the wealth backing up their claims, they can take legal or illegal action against him, and they can do both to mess up his and Em

    As soon as the cops entered the office, the employees had to make way for them, and at the forefront of the group was a good-looking female who was walking toward Alex and only stopped when she was a meter away from Alex."Who is in charge here?" The good-looking woman, who appeared to be in her late twenties, shouted.For a moment, the workers look at each other in dismay, not having any clue as to what's going on. They even forgot how to react in this situation."I am Attorney Jennifer, and I will be conducting an investigation into your company. I would like everyone's cooperation..." Attorney Jennifer announced with her sharp tone of voice that hides a certain charm in it. Then, she paused, and abruptly her countenance turned icy cold as she peered open her reddish lips that were full of subduction but her words said otherwise. "Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be laid with accessory and obstruction of justice!"Instantly, the atmosphere inside the office became tense, and everyo

    Of course, there would be objections! Nevertheless, Alex didn't dare express his dissatisfaction; moreover, he was too busy already thinking of finding a solution to this situation, as he was sure someone was targeting his company yet again. The enemy was well-versed in taking down other businesses and was most likely a veteran in the real estate business. Just then, Alex was startled by attorney Jennifer's next words."Also, your company isn't allowed to operate without our notice." Attorney Jennifer calmly said.Hearing what she said, Alex's expression turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to curse out loud at the b*stard who had placed the illegal items on one of the villas that they were selling. He had a hunch that there was another mole in the company.Nevertheless, Alex didn't have the time to think further as the female lawyer, Jenifer, boiled Alex's blood."Everyone here will be interviewed separately." Attorney Jennifer spoke coldly."That's not possible; tha

    Alex frowned at the odd questions Attorney Jennifer was throwing at him. There's no way he would easily agree to share information with her, and who knows what she would do with it? While Alex was contemplating, he didn't notice Attorney Jennifer stiffen.Suddenly, Attorney Jennifer slapped the office disk as she snapped at Alex, startling him. "What did you say? You won't agree?" Alex hadn't anticipated that her reaction would be this severe, so he let out a fake cough to dispel the tense atmosphere. "Ahem, not that I don't want to agree, but rather, can I know who your client is, attorney Jennifer?""And why should I?" Attorney Jennifer gave Alex an eye roll; she was annoyed."Because you're the one who desperately needs information from me, not the other way around?"Despite the lack of evidence that proved the Landmaster Corporation had secretly sold the property to the criminal organization for illegal purposes.Nevertheless, she had a personal grudge to settle against this comp

    Alex's suspicion was on the mark, as someone was indeed sabotaging the inner workings of the corporation. On top of that, the suspicious person that was caught on the CCTV was sending important information to an unknown individual with whom he was in contact.However, what caught Alex off guard was when the person on the CCTV suddenly turned around, and to his shock, it was....."Brother Louise?" Alex winced as he blurted out those words.How could it be him? Alex couldn't sit still as though he were on pins and needles, and never in his wildest dreams did he expect that his brother Louise would be behind this accident.Alex put down his phone as he stared blankly at the ceiling; he still couldn't believe it.... The painful thing about betrayal is that it never comes from the enemies....Brother Louise had always taken care of him and treated him like a brother, but it would appear that he didn't know Brother Louise that way.Nevertheless, he had to take care of this matter; otherw

    Cornered and desperate, brother Louise looked at the documents he was holding, and ultimately he snapped as he threw the important papers on the floor."Your after this right, Alex?" Brother Louise gritted his teeth as he blurted it out. "Guess what? You can have it for all I care!"On the side, Alex merely watched with his dark eyes as his senior brother Louise turned mad, as though he had lost his mind.Suddenly, Brother Louise broke down in tears as he started cursing. "You don't understand, because you don't know what it feels like. F***! F***! D*mmit!"It's not that he hated Alex, nor was it the envy that he felt toward him for being promoted instead of him. No, it wasn't like that; rather, he hated himself for being unable to do anything right.At this juncture, Alex could sense the pain in his brother's Louise tone of voice as he started lashing out like a madman."You don't know anything, Alex!" Brother Louise shouted with a raspy voice while grabbing onto Alex's collar; his b

    The smile on Ms. Athena's face bloomed as she heard that they'd arrived at their destination. She clapped her hands while glancing with indifference at the middle-aged man across from her."I'll be meeting your son." The middle-aged man's face instantly turned pale; nevertheless, he couldn't do anything as he was up against someone like Ms. Athena. 'I Klein McCain, a successful businessman, how did I let the Landmaster Company fall into other people's hands? Is it because of my incompetence in raising my son Bruce? Where did I go wrong? Bruce's father mumbled to himself; a few hours ago this mysterious woman and her men had come to his mansion uninvited and forcibly kidnapped him!Not to mention, his personal guards at the mansion were one-sidedly beaten up by that woman's bodyguards; it was simply outrageous. On the side, Ms. Athena's bodyguard couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he heard Madam Athena mention the middle-aged man that they had kidnapped.'Well, more like being h

    It never occurred to Bruce that going against Alex, who was nobody, would result in his current predicament! His father would always take care of his mess. It was the truth when he was at college; he could still remember quite clearly when he had gravely injured a teacher, although it was an accident. At that time, he had thought that he would get punished the next day, but nothing happened instead, and they blamed the teacher for what he did, saying that he wasn't capable of teaching a student. It was the same at the office, where that useless fool Alex had to bow before him and take the blame for the mistakes he made in the business dealings... But... 'Why is Father forcing me to tie the kowtow in front of this unknown b*tch of a woman?' Bruce was confused—shouldn't his father settle this matter for him like usual? The more Bruce thought about it, the angrier he became. His ego couldn't accept it. He stood up and pointed at Ms. Athena. "B*tch, I'll have you know-" Before Bru

They didn't want to get into trouble themselves, so they walked a bit further from the entrance.On the other hand, the employees were intimidated, not to mention that they had just seen the guards of the Golden Paradise outside groaning in pain. Clearly, they were beaten up.The senior manager gathered his courage.

"It's alright, manager Kevin; from here, I'll handle this." Listening attentively to Alex's words, senior manager Kevin immediately bowed in Alex's direction and spoke politely. "Yes sir.

    Teacher Vivian recovered from her shock and glared at her husband. "What are you waiting for? Shouldn't you carry your own luggage?""Um..." Richard's face was turning a shade of red as he hurriedly grabbed the bags Alex was carrying."Y-You must be tired, junior brother?" Richard wanted to keep his dignity, so he was making excuses not to be obvious. Furthermore, he had no idea about Alex's identity; he was horrified inside thinking about offending someone he shouldn't have. However, would Alex not notice what Richard was thinking? So he feigned ignorance and stated it in a calm voice. "Tired? Not at all. I can carry it for you all the way."Richard was stunned then, his back broke a cold sweat as he felt like crying with no tears. Not to mention, his wife was glaring at him."I-I'll carry it from here, please." Richard uttered, and at the end of his sentence, his voice was the sound of a mosquito; it was barely audible. On the other hand, Teacher Vivian came forward and faced Alex

    "What do you mean my credit card didn't go through?" Richard was frowning heavily. How come his credit card wasn't accepted? He was pretty sure it had some savings in it.The server rolled his eyes, although he was annoyed. Nevertheless, he still had to maintain professionalism. With it in mind, he politely explained. "With all due respect, we only accept credit cards from reputable banks, mostly VIP card holders, but we do have a beer minimum; it would be the C.F.R. City Bank."The moment Richard heard those words, he was dumbfounded. What the... VIP card holders? What's even more incredulous is that the C.F.R. City Bank was considered a beer minimum.'Wasn't the C.F.R. City Bank the biggest bank in the City?' Richard mumbled in disbelief. On the side, teacher Vivian was similarly stunned, but soon she recovered, and she was starting to worry as she uttered. "Does it mean we will have to leave?""Let me think..."

    Around ten in the morning, Alex finally arrived at his destination.He got out of the car while taking off his eyewear, which caused his brows to involuntarily twitch as he felt the heat rays from the glaring sun. Then he turned his attention toward the famous property of Antonio Florence.Undoubtedly, the plantsIt was a mixture of greenery and modernity, as the villas and the mansion were surrounded by gorgeous, rare plants. Alex wondered how they managed to grow those plants that could only be seen in different countries!Indeed, the place deserves its name, the Golden Paradise.Just then, someone came toward Alex."Sir, this way, please." A young man in his late teens who looks like an employee with his white and black uniform came to Alex and led him toward where a group of visitors was.'Kate and the others are not present. They've already gone ahead; I should look for them later.' Alex mumbled while scanning the crowd, looking for his co-workers, only to fail.At this point, as

    Weeks passed, and everything was back on track. Alex could be seen jogging around the plaza, as the children were playing while noticing the young man, Alex pass them by while gasping for air.Gradually, Alex slowed down. He was thirsty and dead tired from working out. He took a seat on a vacant bench, gulping down the water bottle and putting some on top of his head to refresh himself. "That felt good," Alex uttered while feeling his muscles start to relax.Just then, Alex heard his name being called from a distance. He shifted his gaze toward the direction of the voice and saw a young lady wearing a yoga outfit.Rihanna? Alex thought in surprise at her appearance."Alex..." Rihanna was catching her breath as she spoke. "I noticed you from the apartment's balcony earlier; I wanted to tag along, but you were jogging too fast... Oh, I almost forgot this is for you."Rihanna took out a small pink towel and handed it to Alex in a shy manner."Wow, thank you, Rihanna." Alex grinned as

    At this juncture, the veterans were starting to incircle around Alex; one of the veterans even moved a step closer toward Shenna.Just as the perverted veteran was about to grab her, Alex suddenly blocked his outstretched hands with his body."Tell your men to stop." Alex's words were directed toward the veteran leader, who was simply standing at the back of the group of veterans.Hearing Alex's sentence, the veteran leader signaled to his group of veterans to stop."You want me dead, right?" Alex said while pushing the terrified Shenna behind him to cover him from the veterans."Indeed, we want you dead; your head will be valuable." The veteran leader's statement was very alarming."At least give me a reason why you are after me... Is it because of the Crown family?" There was no need for Alex to hide his identity at this point; most likely, they already knew him beforehand. What's more puzzling is: what was their intention?"You sure have guts." "Alright, I'll explain it to you....

    Bruce was taken aback as he looked at the furious Alex and Shenna, whose eyes were burning with defiance as she glared daggers at him."Pft." Bruce couldn't hold it in as he burst out laughing, and he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes."You two are really similar! Showing such a face, how scary."Bruce stopped laughing as he continued to mock Alex. "Remember this place? Isn't it ironic? It's where your 'little girlfriend' decided to betray you because she wanted to use me to get promoted? If I were in your position, there's no way I would date such a woman, not to mention putting myself in danger!"Bruce wasn't done mocking Alex, as he proceeded to speak while leaning at the table with a grim face. "If you aren't blind, then you're certainly a fool!"In Bruce's opinion, Alex was an idiot.Alex understood that Bruce was using this tactic to play with his head. He was cleverly sowing discord between him and Shenna. But would he allow himself to fall for it easily? No!However,

    The sudden interruption made Bruce's countenance stiffen; it took him a few seconds to recover as he mumbled. "Speaking of the devil!"There wasn't a doubt in Bruce's mind who the caller was! Without hesitation, Bruce picked up the call."My, my, I didn't think you'd be this fast for a fool!"Alex didn't immediately answer, making Bruce irritated. Just as he was about to yell at Alex on the phone, Alex's voice could be heard."... I'm outside, the money is already here, and I want to see her." Bruce signaled his men to go downstairs. He chuckled coldly while replying. "Showing concern, aren't we? Why don't I invite you in?""Alright." Alex replied on the phone.Bruce thought for a moment before responding in a mocking manner. "Do you want me to put your little girlfriend on the phone?" "There's no need for that; just make sure not a strand of hair is missing; otherwise, you'll regret it." Alex's tone of voice was deep.Without giving Bruce a chance to reply, the call was suddenly cu

    Shenna was thinking hard about what purpose her abductors were after...Was it money? No, that shouldn't be the case, as who didn't know she didn't have anything on her name...Shenna couldn't help but think of her family, but then she smiled bitterly; knowing her family, she could easily imagine their indifferent reaction; they wouldn't lift a single finger to help her. If they knew he was abducted, they would even blame her for being careless...Unconsciously, Shenna bit her cheery, ripe lips until they bled; however, she didn't care as she ignored the pain.Although she could feel her anxiety rising, she had no idea where she was or what she should do; she was all alone in this lonely room, waiting for her abductors to do their worst...'No, I hate this feeling.
