She felt embarrassed and blushed. When they arrived on the first floor, they walked out of the elevator. Dr. Cheryl glared at him and whispered, "Don’t you dare to mess with me again!"Alex was aggrieved and said, "Cheryl, the fault is not mine.”At half-past five, they arrived at Urasawa Restaurant. There were not many customers in the restaurant. But the cars that were parked in front of the restaurant were all high-end luxury cars, and cars that’s worth tens of millions."Urasawa Restaurant is the second most expensive restaurant to dine in in California.""Seems like you have wealthy classmates to have a reunion gathering here!" Alex said with a smile.Dr. Cheryl pouted. "The one who invited us here is the guy I dislike the most, and you’re going to deal with him tonight." “Okay

Many men would dream of having a wife as beautiful as her. Every single move she made captured the hearts of men in the room. Benjamin looked at Alex with so much hatred as if he could kill Alex with his eyes.Everyone else in the room was confused and looked at Benjamin.Then, a man jumped out and said, "Are you kidding, Cheryl? A blind man could see that Benjamin has strong feelings for you! How could you choose a ‘nobody’ over Benjamin!"Some in the room nodded. "Yeah, he’s right! Benjamin is a young director of Golden Light Group. He’s worth several billion dollars. Whoever marries him can live in peace for the rest of their lives. Who is this man next to you? He is so poorly dressed as if he works at a construction site. How is he worthy of a goddess like you!" "I’m way better than you

As Benjamin saw Dr. Cheryl and Alex enjoying their dinner, he looked at Alex with fiery eyes. The main reason Benjamin had organized this reunion gathering was to pursue Cheryl. He couldn’t bear to watch Dr. Cheryl and Alex enjoying their sweet moments over dinner.Bootlickers of Benjamin noticed his anger. Then, they turned and looked at Dr. Cheryl and Alex.Britney said, "Hey, your name is Alex, right? Have you never tasted such delicious food before? Do you usually eat lunch at the construction site? What is your occupation?"After Alex finished swallowing a piece of meat, he replied, "I don’t work at the construction site. I’m currently unemployed."Everyone laughed.Benjamin looked at Dr. Cheryl in deep thought. Since Benjamin had pursued Dr. Cheryl for years, he knew that Dr. Cheryl was a kind-hearted person.

"Britney, what happened?"Benjamin frowned while he stood up and asked.Britney tried to cover her torn clothes that exposed her skin. She pointed at the middle-aged man who came in and shouted, "That bastard, molested me."The man yelled angrily, "B*tch, who molested you? Hurry up, take out my...”Before he could finish his words, a bootlicker of Benjamin, Dylan Minette, jumped and kicked the middle-aged man in the chest. The man fell to the ground."Goddammit! Who released this maniac? How dare you molest Britney! Why don’t you molest your own sister!"Other men also stepped forward. They punched and kicked the man.Then they kicked the man out of the dining room.Dylan laughed and said, "You son of a b*tch! Let me teach you a lesson! Don’t you dare to do it again!""Way to go, Dylan!" the crowd cheered.Alex shook his head. Others might not notice, but he noticed that the middle-aged man wasn’t any ordinary man.

Benjamin’s heart trembled when he heard Manager Ramsay’s warning. He didn’t dare to continue speaking a word after that. Everyone else was afraid to speak after they saw Benjamin kept quiet. Especially those who had beaten up the middle-aged man just now, they were shivering."This bastard was the one that hit me the hardest."The man said while pointing at Dylan.Another few security guards immediately arrested Dylan with his hands cuffed behind."Where is my diamond ring? Give it back to me!" The man stared at Britney coldly."I... I didn't steal it." Britney said in fear.Manager Ramsay replied, "How about you admit it and give back the diamond ring. You can’t deny what you’ve done. There are surveillance cameras in our restaurant which have recorded everything."Britney shook her head in denial.The furious middle-aged man tore Britney's clothes and roughly searched her body.Britney yelled and burst into tears, seeking help from Benjamin desperately.But Benjamin stood

“Who are you? How are you qualified to ask me to do a favor for you?”Edgar looked at Alex with a disgruntled look. He flashed an angry smile and said, “Is she yours? Very well, I’ll teach her a lesson in front of you. Are you going to just stand there and watch? Who is your patron? I’m really interested to know him!”“Hold him down!” Edgar said to the security guards.At this moment, Dr. Cheryl's classmates were entertained to see how Alex dug his own grave.Dr. Cheryl was unable to fend for herself while being publicly insulted.

Ramsay’s face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.But he dared not bleat. He nodded and walked away in despair. He left the room.Bernard then asked, “Master Alex, did anyone here offend you?”Alex brushed his hair with his fingers and said, “Nothing serious. But this dude here insulted my girlfriend in front of me. I’m not sure how I should deal with him.”Bernard raged, “You piece of shit! You signed your own death warrant. Guards! Throw him into the river and drown him!”Everyone was frightened.Edgar felt a shiver run down his spine. He hurriedly said, “Wait! I am the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. I’m associated with Lord Lex Gunther of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. You can’t do this to me!”As he finished his words, Bernard slapped his face.Slap! “Do you think that Lord Gunther will bother to help you? Drown him!” said Bernard.

“No, I didn't. I never promised him. You're my husband!” cried Dorothy.Alex said, “Do you think that I’m blind? I witnessed it!”Dorothy said, "I... I didn't, I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry, honey. Where are you? I want to see you. Let me explain and apologize to you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't believe Spark. You can punish me or hit me. Please, let’s meet up.” When Alex heard Dorothy pleading so desperately on the phone, his anger subsided.But he gave it another thought.‘Oh, crap! When Lord Lex put on a show at the Assexes, he addressed me as Master Alex. Does it mean that my identity has been exposed? The Assex family are bloodsuckers, they certainly want me to go back. Then, they will want my help to re-sign the billion-dollar contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. D*mn those fools, go to hell!’ he thought in his mind.Then, he asked, “Did you come to apologize because you were told to do so by Madame Joanne?”Dorothy said immediately, “No, I want to apologize.

However, the opposite could also be said. Anyone who got on the good side of Thousand Miles Conglomerate would flourish. As Alex appeared, Madame Joanne was the first person to greet him. Contrary to her previous behavior, Madame Joanne was smiling from ear to ear. It was as if she’s another person.She took Alex by his hand and said, “Alex, it was all my fault. I was wrong to judge you so quickly; it was my mistake. This was all caused by Spark and Bill! We were all deceived by their words!” Standing behind her, Benny Assex, Anderson Assex and other members of the Assex family were all smiling apologetically.Alex said in a nonchalant voice, “Since it is a misunderstanding, then it’s no big deal. I am going to bed as I’m feeling tired.”Madame Joanne hurriedly said, "Please hold! Just now Lord Lex tore up the billion-dollar contract that was promised to us. What is the relationship between you and Lord Lex? Could you give him a call and ask him to sign the contract again?”

Beatrice’s eyes immediately widened. “Did you really buy a necklace that costs thirty million dollars? How much money did you receive from Lord Lex?” Madame Claire was also curious.Alex shrugged. “I don’t have much money. The necklace was a gift from Lord Lex. The wedding ring that I got back was free of charge too.”Madame Claire loudly slapped her own thighs. “Oh my god! How could you hand the thirty million dollars necklace away? Are you an imbecile?”Alex replied, “It was you who threw it away.”Madame Claire remembered that she was the one who had thrown the necklace on the ground and deeply regretted it! Beatrice said, "I remember that the woman who took the necklace was someone you know. She is... Dr. Cheryl, isn't it? Can you please ask for the necklace back?”Madame Claire’s eyes lit up. “Oh yes, we must get it back.”Alex shook his head. He was too embarrassed to ask! He had just pretended to be Dr. Cheryl's boyfriend. He’s even more embarrassed by the incident in
