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

    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!"

    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

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.

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.

    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

    "If you will excuse me." Alex smiled at young master Nathan as he turned around and headed toward his seat in the middle of the rows.At this point, young master Nathan, who was in a state of shock, finally recovered, and he was beyond furious at being rejected by Alex. He couldn't help but grit his teeth while glaring at Alex with his eyes that were full of murderous intent.Alex merely shrugged off his shoulder with his keen senses—there was no way Alex wouldn't do anything the way Nathan Lester was looking at him. It wasn't that Alex was afraid of the Lester family; rather, it was more damaging for an egotistical guy like Nathan Lester to be ignored as their ego couldn't take it. On the other hand, Shenna was baffled as she watched from the side; this whole time she was being ignored by Alex, who didn't even spare him a glance! She couldn't help but bite her lips, feeling irritated that Alex was treating her like air. In the back of her head, she was thinking. Is it possible that

    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.

    "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.
