Alex became undeterred as he gritted his teeth and called for the second time.
Fortunately, his colleague answered his phone call. Alex's eyes lit up as he hurriedly explained that he would need 15,000 dollars to bail out.
".... Brother Louise, please help me; I swear I'll return the money as soon as possible!" Alex desperately said through the phone; he nearly yelled at the end of his sentence.
"...."
There was a long silence as though Brother Louise was contemplating whether to help him or not. After all, 15 grand wasn't a small amount of money that one could easily fork out. Alex felt like he was stopping on needles as he waited for Brother Louise's response.
Soon, Alex heard Brother Louise's voice through his somewhat old phone.
"Don't call me again, and if you still dare call me again, I swear... damn it, this will get me fired!" Brother Louise's tone of voice sounded nervous as he spoke through the phone.
Alex becomes devastated and desperate. He didn’t know what he could do at this point.
Alex was about to give up....
Just then, as though lady luck were smiling at him, the phone rang again. Alex hesitated for a moment, but nevertheless, he picked up the phone. It was his colleague, Brother Louise. Talking about suspense...
".... Alright, I'll lend you the 15000 dollars that you need; if you don't pay me, I'm cutting ties with you! You hear me?" Brother Louise said in response that somehow, his tone sounded strange. But Alex merely brushed it off as he was grateful for the help.
"Thank you..." Alex was thankful that at least some of his colleagues at the office were willing to help him. Brother Louise was one of the few who helped him in the company when he was just a junior, and even when some of his co-workers took advantage and that fatty manager kept making trouble for him, it was brother Louise who defended him, so he was indebted to him. Truly, he was a good man!
Moreover, with the present situation he got himself into by offending the son of the company owner he was working for, it wouldn't be a surprise if some of his co-workers decided to backstab him just so they could get his position and to lessen their competitor's chances for a promotion.
Soon, Brother Louise asked him for the address of the police station and said he would soon rush over to help him pay the money himself. But then again, he sounded very odd, which was very unlike him.
Alex trusted his colleague, Brother Louise, who did arrive quickly and pay the bail. The police officers at the station could only frown as they snorted at him and reluctantly let him go.
Alex was very grateful and said. "I'll definitely return the money, Brother Louise."With a weird expression on his face, brother Louise said. "Actually, there's no need to pay it back."
The shock was visible on Alex's face; after all, 15000 dollars wasn't a small amount of cash! He wanted to say something else, but his colleague, Brother Louise, waved his hand as though he were saying that he didn't mind and quickly left.
Somehow he felt that Brother Louise's action was a bit off.
Alex felt very confused and perplexed, he didn't know what was going on. In any case, he should leave quickly now that he has bailed out.
Alex tried looking through his pants.
"..." Alex's facial muscles twitched as he realized that he was dead broke. He let out a sigh of frustration. How was he supposed to head back now?
While Alex was contemplating a better solution, suddenly a luxury car that looked like a Mercedes-Benz pulled up to him. Just then, the door opened.
"Huh?!"
Who were these people? But then, the moment those people from the luxury vehicle got out, Alex's expression turned incredibly awful.
Of all people, it's him! It was no wonder Brother Louise's expression looked weird. He was sold out!
'No, I shouldn't jump to conclusions; I hope it's merely a misunderstanding.' Alex shook his head while bracing himself as he faced.
His enemies were carrying some metal bats and steel pipes and brandishing them in the air in a threatening manner. Couldn't they be more obvious in trying to intimidate him?

Alex was caught by surprise."Um, sir, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. Obviously, I'm not this "Crown" person that you're looking for." Alex forced out a smile as he replied skeptically.'Why would a wealthy middle-aged man with a bunch of veteran bodyguards call me young master?' Alex shook his head in dismissal. Really, he couldn't wrap his head around it.However, to Alex's dismay, the middle-aged man kept insisting that he was the young master Crown. Throughout his life, he had never heard of the Crown family or whatnot.On the side, Bruce, who was observing the interaction between Alex and the middle-aged man, was left baffled.'Alex is a young master?

He further explained that the Wadsworth family had been serving their family for the last century. For now, Alex had nowhere to go, and he wanted to find out if this mysterious man, Alfred, was lying to him or not. This was one of the reasons he willingly entered the car. "Young master Alex, we had been looking for you for a long time! If it weren't for that accident..." Alfred Wadsworth clenched his fist tightly. The atmosphere becomes tense.

His childhood memory of the military training camp was extremely unpleasant. Until this day, it still haunts him like a ghost t

The resounding words coming out of his father's mouth made Alex blink his eyes in doubt, then he spoke. "Inherit the family business? What do you mean, father?" It had never crossed Alex's mind that he would be the owner of a company, and that opportunity was being offered right now by his father for him to manage a company! He wondered if it was a small company—not that he would mind."My son, you can choose any of these companies to manage." Charles Crown spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice. He finally has someone to pass on his inheritance rather than have it deteriorate in someone else's hands.Immediately, Butler Alfred passed the tablet toward Alex, who looked somewhat confused. He neither nodded nor accepted the tablet, but started browsing through it.At that moment..."Huh?" Alex paused as he saw the first company on the list.He couldn't help but tremble as he saw the documents. Celestial Trading Commerce, has a daily revenue of 1 to 100 million US dollars? Alex wa

Around 6:00 am, the morning sunlight shone right through the window inside the master bedroom. Alex could be seen sleeping soundly while the relaxing breeze caressed his face.Moments after Alex woke up, he didn't immediately sit up, as he was looking blankly at the ceiling. "I'm the Crown family heir...." Alex mumbled gibberish. He scanned his eyes around this mesmerizing room with plenty of space.Yesterday he was too tired to examine the room, but now he could see that he was sleeping in a king-sized bed; the interior and its decor were superb, and it gave off a cozy atmosphere that would make one involuntarily fall asleep! It was welcoming and comforting to sleep, and there wasn't even a speck of dust. The curtains were laced with golden threads. Alex had a complicated expression. Usually, he would sleep in a bed that was as hard as tree bark or concrete; it was just sad.... Presently, he was feeling indignant, at how the rich people would sleep in a place like this every day!I

Alex flinched as he heard the familiar voice shouting. It was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Shenna! Alex's expression fell as he turned toward Shenna, who was walking elegantly toward him with her expensive Louis Vuitton dress; it seems that she had been waiting for Alex to appear."Alex, who said you could set there?" Shenna placed her hands on her hips as she scuffed at him."..." Alex lowered his head as he returned to his work, arranging documents. It was better for him to stay silent to avoid conflict.Unfortunately, Shenna didn't think so, as out of the blue, she contemptuously snatched the documents off Alex's hands."Did you forget something?" Shenna, with a cold expression, icily stated. "Why aren't you apologizing to me?" What a crazy woman! Alex couldn't believe that he had fallen for such a petty woman. Not to mention he was ready to commit everything for her, including marrying her. That would have been insane and the worst decision of his life!At this point, Alex

After seeing Alex, Bruce's eyes went red, and he wanted nothing more than to rip Alex apart! There was no need for reason. It was unnecessary; he hated Alex's face.'It's this f*cking fellow's fault!' Bruce gritted his teeth while thinking at the back of his head. All the bad things that are happening to him must be Alex's doing; he did something behind the scenes!"Alex, you horsecrap spitting b*stard!"Unable to hold his temper, Bruce pounced on Alex; he had decided to punch him. However, wouldn't Alex just stand still and let himself be a punching bag? Of course not!Alex instinctively caught Bruce's all-out punch.Just then..."Stop!" An authoritative and powerful voice could be heard resounding inside the office, startling everyone.A beautiful woman wearing a glass and the classy outfit of a secretary suddenly appeared at the door; she immediately scolded Bruce."Although you no longer have the right to be the CEO of the company...."

Alex followed the pretty lady through the elevator. It never fails to amaze him to look at her amazonian waist sticking tightly on her classy Armani dress. Her skirt was above her knee, showing her pearly white long legs. Her oval-shaped face and the sculpted figure would put other well-known celebrities to shame.'I wonder who she is...' Alex thought in his heart. He couldn't help but raise a question. "Um, miss, can you tell me your name?" In response to Alex, the pretty lady gave him a long sideways glance. The look on her face... It was as if she were telling him that he was unworthy to know her name.Alex's brows twitched; this pretty lady's attitude was as proud as a peacock's! He mumbled to himself. 'Does she hate me or something?' Soon, Alex and the pretty lady arrive at the CEO's office. Initially, Alex had come to the conclusion that he would get fired as soon as they entered the CEO's office; however, to his surprise, the one sitting comfortably inside the office was....

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.

"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.

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."

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...

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."

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,

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."
