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
Alex rubbed his forehead, trying not to snap at the snobbish bald landlord. Seriously, he should consider moving out of this apartment.Soon, Alex was at the door of the apartment building when he suddenly heard a woman's voice outside."I'm looking for Mr. Alex; is he present?" Instantly, Alex's brows shoot up. Why does the voice sound familiar? His curiosity got the better of him as he hastily opened the door, only to see the familiar face of that insane woman!"Attorney Jennifer?" Alex's brows twitched as he blurted out. Seeing it was the lawyer that made trouble with him yesterday!'Could it be that she's here to create trouble for me yet again?' Alex thought while gritting his teeth. "..." Attorney Jeniffer was baffled at the sight of Alex glaring at her.Just as Alex was about to lash out at this lawyer who was nothing but a pain in the back, Attorney Jennifer said something that made Alex freeze."Sky Cain Group had disappeared.""!?" Alex was stunned.'Sky Cain Group? Isn't
It had never crossed Alex's mind that he would meet Shenna outside of the famed Catherine's Auction House. Alex's brows twitched as he gazed at Shenna holding hands with Nathan Lester. Shenna sure knows how to pick her new toy boyfriend; Alex had his doubts about why his ex-girlfriend would always attract men like Bruce..."Where's your car, Alex?" Shenna had a gloating expression on her pretty face as she asked that question; she couldn't wait to poke fun at Alex.Ever since they broke up, it had become a hobby of hers to see Alex in misery; that way she would be happy!"Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, where's your rented car? Maybe the lending company took it back because you can't afford it?" Shenna covered her soft lips with her hand as she giggled."...." Alex was speechless. He ignored her as he didn't want to play games with Shenna, so he just gave her a sidelong glance before shrugging off his shoulders and being about to leave.Seeing Alex ignore her, Shenna gnashed her teeth. "I hea
At this time, some of the onlookers stopped and watched the spectacle as the two security guards harassed a young man.The skinny server was sweating bullets as he didn't think Alex would have the guts to mock them!"If you want to be a bootlicker, you shouldn't have to complain about being called a lapping dog!" Alex said his voice could be heard loud and clear, making the onlookers secretly chuckle. As far as the onlookers were concerned, they wanted to see a good show, and the young man in front of them just happened to provide them with entertainment; moreover, the young man wasn't wrong.At this juncture, the security guard's face was flushed red, and in a mixture of embarrassment and anger, he grabbed Alex by the collar."I swear, I'm going to kill you if you say that again!" He blurted out while leaning forward; his hideous face was a breath away from Alex, who was simply smirking. It could be imagined how scary it was considering that the security guard was on steroids and t
