If looks could kill, young master Nathan would have killed Alex a thousand times! However, he couldn't do anything with all these people present, in particular, Miss Catherine's family; he couldn't make enemies out of everyone here; it would be the same as committing suicide.Currently, the participants are arguing vehemently, asking questions like "who Alex is," "how rich Alex's family is," or "is he even a Humming City resident?"But one thing was certain: everyone wanted to have a connection with that excellent young man. Nonetheless, the auction was not over as bursts of laughter echoed across the stage, drawing everyone's attention to young master Nathan's leisurely shouts."$300 million dollars!" Alex spoke up while raising his three fingers.Alex finished his sentence in his head while a faint smile appeared on his lips.On the other hand, young master Nathan was clenching his knuckles so hard they started to bleed. He couldn't bid otherwise Miss Catherine would find out; his
"You want me in your life?" Alex spoke with a bit of sarcasm in his words. He found Shenna's question laughable! "Is it because you couldn't replace me? No, it's not that..." Alex shook his head. He decided to confront her. "Tell me, is it because of the money, Shenna? You want me back because you thought I was finally good enough for you? For what!? To satisfy your so-called happiness?" "It's not like that..." Shenna mumbled as she tightened her grip on Alex's clothes. Alex gritted his teeth and finally said. "But...what about me? Have you ever considered my happiness? Get out of my sight!" Alex's emotions were in turmoil; he had enough of this farce. Looking at Shenna's shocked face, she wasn't expecting Alex to snap at her. "You're scaring me, Alex; you don't love me anymore?" Shenna said while holding on to Alex, but she was pushed. "You pretty much know how damn well I've loved you! So don't go around saying I didn't love you, because I did." Alex blurted out, and for a sec
The next day, noon time...A BMW car could be seen in a heavily trafficked street. The loud horn from theImpatient drivers made Alex, who was driving the BMW, frown. Alex was kneading his forehead; he had just finished his work at the Landmaster Corporation and was heading home; unfortunately, he was caught in the middle of a traffic jam.He let out a sigh as he mumbled. "There's no helping it..." Alex was feeling like banging his head on the steering wheel because of boredom.Suddenly..."Hmm?" Alex received several notifications on his phone, catching his attention. He casually looked through them...Instantly, his countenance turned grim, and as his grip on the steering wheel tightened, the vein on his neck was visible. "B*stard...." Alex spoke deeply; his anger was apparent. Someone had sent an anonymous message to him from his social media account, and there were pictures of Shenna, her feet and legs spread out, tightly bound on the king-sized bed, her wrists bruised red. A
"According to bank policy, if I suspect anything out of the ordinary or suspicious, it's only right to confirm things." The bank executive let out a fake smile at Alex. "Don't you think so?""Suspicious? Are you serious right now?" Alex finds it hard to believe that something this minor was being labeled as suspicious when all he did was sit down! Clearly, this bank employee was deliberately making things difficult for him! Also, didn't the previous person who came before him only provide a single ID?On the other hand, the bank executive scoffed at Alex; as for the BankCheck, in her mind, Alex was a measly beggar who happened to get lucky.At this point, Alex was staring hard at this bank employee, who kept pressing his buttons. He took a deep breath, finally managing to calm himself as he shrugged his shoulders."You know what? Never mind..." Alex said. He didn't want to argue with this snobbish bank executive."Why would I carry a passport to the bank?"The bank executive felt emba
"You the CEO?" The bank executive made a dramatic expression to ridicule Alex."Fine, have it your way if it turns out to be a fraud, which it is. I'll make sure to put you on a blacklist of all the banks in this city!"It was unthinkable for the bank executive to be so ruthless that putting Alex's name on the blacklist would be the same as freezing his accounts and not being able to withdraw a penny! Such remarks were a death sentence...However, Alex simply glared with a cold expression at this judgmental woman, who doesn't see eye to eye with him.On the other hand, the bank executive maintained her narcissistic attitude as she snorted at this beggar of a man in front of her. Since their bank had the personal number of the CEO of the Landmaster Corporation, which she just found out yesterday after the bank director announced the cooperation with the said corporation.She'd love to teach this beggar proper manners and stop him from believing in his delusional mind that he's the "Ch
After Alex finished conveying his intention to the C.F.R. City Bank owner, who was thrilled to help him, he was personally led by the bank owner toward the lobby of the building."I'll wait here." Alex had already stated his request to the bank owner, and it was personally approved by him. At this point, Alex was waiting for the cash to be transferred onto the armor trucks of the bank."Are you sure, Mr. Alex?" The bank owner had a wry smile on his chubby face; he felt that it was a huge blunder on his part since he wasn't able to fulfill the request of their biggest client immediately.In his opinion, someone of such high status as the CEO of the Landmaster Corporation, Alex, was someone worth pleasing!On the other hand, Alex didn't speak; he simply nodded, indicating that he was fine waiting. Only then did the bank owner leave with reluctance; he quickly finished the arrangement for Mr. Alex!Alex kept contemplating what he would do next.At this moment, Alex's thoughts were pulled
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. I need to do something; that jerk Alex would mock me if I didn't do something. Shenna did so angrily in her heart; she didn't want Alex to look down on her. She inhaled deeply. She needed to figure out how to escape here be
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
