Alexis slowly opened his eyes. A sharp, unbearable pain seized his head.

"Where am I? What happened? Why does my head hurt so much?" Alexis wondered, finding himself lying in an unfamiliar room.

He was shocked to find a woman lying next to him, completely naked.

“Mikaela?!” Alexis sat up suddenly.

“How could she be lying next to me? Did we—” He quickly shook his head. ‘No! There’s no way I slept with her!’

Mikaela shifted slightly before waking up to the sound of Alexis's loud exclamation. "You're so noisy, idiot—" she suddenly sat up when she recognized his voice.

"What the hell are you doing in my room? What did you do to me?!" Mikaela covered her naked body with the blanket.

"Don't misunderstand! I didn’t rape you! I don’t even remember how we ended up in this room—"

SLAP!

“Liar!” Mikaela yelled, tears streaming down her face. “Is this how you get your revenge on me?!”

“I’m not some bastard!” Alexis defended himself. “I hate you and your family, but I would never use such dirty methods for revenge!”

Crash!

Alexis and Mikaela both turned toward the door as several people walked in, shocked expressions on their faces.

"Mom? Dad?" Mikaela gasped, her body trembling.

"My God!" Zelda's tears flowed. "I can't believe the news is true! You slept with that bastard!"

"You slut!" Harold cursed. "Was there no other man, so you had to sleep with this bastard?!"

“You’re misunderstanding, Dad, Mom!” Mikaela interjected, panicking. "We didn’t do anything! Please, believe me!"

"Then why are you and Alexis naked?" Zelle sneered, grinning slyly. Now, Mikaela couldn’t deny it.

“I-I…” Mikaela stammered, struggling to explain.

Alexis dressed himself and looked at the family coldly. "Mikaela was almost raped by Wayne Greyson, but I tried to save her."

“I thought I’d believe your bullshit?!” Harold yelled. His chest heaved in anger. “The Greyson family is a respected family!”

“How dare you slander my son!” Morgan Greyson entered, escorted by several bodyguards.

"Mr. Greyson." Harold and the Cornell family were stunned. Had he also received the photos of Alexis and Mikaela alone in the room?

It left the Cornell family utterly embarrassed.

"Sorry for causing a mess in your hotel, Mr. Morgan Greyson." Harold smiled politely, hiding his shame.

"Are you Alexis?" Morgan stared at him sharply.

"Yes."

"I heard you punched my son until he passed out?" Morgan Greyson interrogated him.

"Yes." Alexis answered indifferently.

“What?!” The Cornell family was stunned. How could Alexis remain so calm after beating up the beloved son of the world’s second richest man?

Greyson Corp was feared by many companies, including Cornell Corp, because of its partnership with Morris Corp.

"Bastard." Morgan growled furiously. "I swear I’ll make you rot in prison after you punched and slandered my only son, accusing him of trying to rape Mikaela," he said firmly.

Mikaela remained silent, sobbing, too afraid to defend Alexis or explain Wayne Greyson’s despicable actions, even though Alexis had helped her. She feared facing the Greyson family’s wrath, as they were terrifying people who wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone who harmed their family.

Morgan Greyson glanced at his bodyguard, gave a signal, and then dragged Alexis to the car.

Alexis did not resist. His expression remained cold, showing no fear or guilt. He sat quietly in the seat, enjoying the view outside the window.

"This time, you’re finished, loser! You’ll rot in prison, because the Greyson family will never let you live peacefully after you’ve humiliated their family." Leonardo mocked.

"You're wrong. Morgan Greyson will regret his actions." Alexis smirked.

Leonardo was annoyed because Alexis didn’t seem afraid of his threats.

"Why do you look so confident, huh? You’re nothing compared to Mr. Morgan. He’s incredibly rich and influential. It would take no effort at all for him to eliminate you!"

Alexis chose to stay silent, too lazy to engage with a talkative man like Leonardo.

Soon, Harold’s luxury car arrived at the police station. Morgan, Howard, and Harold handed Alexis over to the police on charges of rape. Two officers immediately handcuffed him and threw him into a cell without allowing him to provide his side of the story.

"Sorry, Morgan Greyson." Howard and Harold apologized.

"You don’t need to apologize." Morgan Greyson smiled warmly. "You’re not at fault. After all, the Cornell family will soon become part of the Morris family. Simson Morris and his family are my masters. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Especially you, Howard."

Howard immediately lifted his chin with confidence. "I’m flattered. It’s true, my daughter and Vincenzo will soon marry. He promised to invest heavily in Cornell Corp."

"It seems I’ll be replaced by you, Mr. Howard." 

Morgan Greyson and Howard chuckled.

Angrily, Harold immediately went home. Not only were his plans ruined, but his family’s reputation was tarnished. This scandal would cause everyone to mock him.

When he entered, he found Zilda scolding their daughter fiercely, while Zelle, Lenora, Adam, and Helen were simply watching, smirking.

SLAP!

Mikaela couldn’t hold back her tears as Harold slapped her.

"You’re an embarrassing, useless child! How could you sleep with that bastard?!"

“You’re wrong, Dad! Wayne Greyson tried to rape me, but Alexis came to my rescue. I’m sure he’s framing us for revenge!” Mikaela sobbed.

"How dare you defend that bastard in front of me after he humiliated us in front of the Greyson family!" Harold shouted. "You’d be better off being raped by Wayne Greyson than being slept with by a liar!"

“How could you say that to me, Daddy?!”

“Now get out of here! I don’t want to consider you my daughter anymore!”

Mikaela shocked. "You’re kicking me out?!" She was his only daughter, always pampered and loved.

"Are you deaf?!"

"Mom?" Mikaela pleaded.

Zilda remained silent, powerless against her husband’s decision.

Zelle secretly smirked in her heart. Finally, Mikaela would feel the suffering she endured when she was still Alexis’s wife. Every day, her parents would scold her, and she had to endure the shame in front of friends and colleagues.

Fortunately, her mother had accidentally overheard the devious plan from Harold’s family to take her place as Vincenzo’s fiancée and the CEO. It just so happened that Howard was at the Sundown club.

Zelle wouldn’t let anyone thwart her plans to marry Vincenzo because she had sacrificed so much to get close to him. She wouldn’t hesitate to get her revenge in the most painful way.

    “Forgive me,” Vivien murmured, bowing her head in regret.Selina’s lips curled into a triumphant sneer as everyone’s faces turned sour toward Vivien.“Don’t you know any manners? You should never give your own gift to someone else—it’s like you don’t even appreciate it.” Selina scolded, pretending to be wise, trying to turn everyone against Vivien. Especially Aaron.Women whispered and snickered, while the men looked disappointed in Vivien’s choice. As fellow guys, they could understand how Aaron felt.“I told her to do it.” Alexis’s voice cut through the tension. “Stop blaming Vivien.”“You did what?!” Aaron’s eyes nearly popped out. He was furious, but held himself back. Who was this guy, that Vivien would listen to him?“Why the hell did you do that?!” Gene snapped, eager to play hero in front of Aaron. When else would he meet the world’s sixth‑richest son? He wanted Aaron’s sympathy so his family business could boom like the others’.“Because we were accused of being thieves by a

    A look of admiration curved Selina’s sexy lips as she kept her eyes on Nicolas. She had always admired the man’s personality. He always seemed cold and indifferent to everything around him, but deep down, she knew he was always paying attention.“You have a point,” Lauren said, clearly stunned.“Then what’s Simson’s reason for doing all this, dude?” Gene Costner, Nicolas’s close friend, asked curiously. Crazy rich family drama always attracted everyone’s attention—including his.“No idea. What’s strange is that he didn’t even show up at the party or hold a press conference. He just sent his lawyer.”“I’m getting curious about who actually owns Morris Corp,” Gene muttered.Everyone silently agreed with him.“I didn’t know children of billionaires liked gossip too,” Alexis commented with a soft chuckle.Immediately, everyone shot Alexis a sharp glare.“You weren’t invited, so shut up,” Lauren snapped.“I was just sharing my thoughts.”“You don’t need to get mad, Lauren. I’m pretty sure

    Alexis cast a sidelong glance at Vivien, who kept admiring the watch Aaron had given her, an irritated look flickering across his face. It only got worse when she couldn’t stop smiling at it.“I want to buy that watch,” Alexis said coolly, snapping Vivien out of her thoughts.“I’m sorry, Young Master… what do you mean?”“I’ll give you something far better—more elegant, more expensive. But in return, you’ll have to give that watch to your friend as a birthday gift. We don’t have time to shop for another one.”Vivien paused, clearly considering it.“Well?” Alexis asked, his tone soft but firm.“Alright.” Vivien smiled, unable to defy her boss’s order.Alexis felt a small surge of satisfaction. He didn’t like the idea of Aaron using that watch to get close to Vivien—or to impress her. As a man himself, he could see through Aaron’s little game.Half an hour later, they arrived at one of the trendiest cafés in town, popular among the younger crowd.“Didn’t you say your friend was throwing

    The more Alexis was challenged, the more determined he became to slap the truth in everyone's face—that he could buy every watch in this store if he wanted to.He strode toward the counter with confidence, but Vivien quickly grabbed his arm. “Alexis, please. If you do this, Selina will make it go viral. She loves spreading rumors, real or not. And if that happens, it won’t take long for the mafia to figure out who you are.”“But—”“I’m begging you, don’t let my father’s sacrifice, or mine, be in vain.” Her voice trembled as her eyes glistened with tears.Alexis let out a heavy sigh. He could never stand seeing her like this.“Alright… whatever you want,” he relented.Vivien bowed deeply to everyone around them. “We apologize for the unnecessary scene. We’re leaving now.”Just as they stepped toward the door, an alarm blared.They froze.Selina smirked silently. Her plan had worked.“Just like I said—she’s a thief.”“How dare you! Security!”The guards rushed over and searched Vivien’s

    Vincenzo growled in fury, but he didn’t dare go against Mateo. He was terrified the man would spill his secrets.“Damn it! This is such a mess!”“What are you still standing there for?” one of the guests sneered. “Get lost! You don’t belong here!”Laughter erupted.Vincenzo’s fists clenched tightly. In his entire life, he’d never been humiliated like this.“No! This is a lie! You bastards!”THUD!Mateo stumbled back as Vincenzo’s fist slammed into his face.“You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on my master!”Four of Mateo’s bodyguards instantly retaliated, beating Vincenzo to the ground. Female guests screamed in terror, while the men stood frozen, tension stiffening their jaws.No one dared intervene—not when it came to the rightful heir of Morris Corp.“What the hell are you all doing?! Help me!” Vincenzo roared at his own men, who stood rooted in fear.The head bodyguard looked down at him coldly, unaffected by his bruises. “If you’re not the heir to Morris Corp, then you’re just

    Vincenzo grinned with satisfaction as he stared at the forged signature of Raymond carved on his grandfather’s will.“Finally, I’ve taken full control of Grandpa’s fortune! No one can stop me now, not even that damn Raymond!”The man who had helped him forge the signature gave him a smug smile. “My job here is done. Congratulations on your success, Boss.”“You deserve a bonus for this. Hold on a sec.” Vincenzo signaled with a flick of his finger. Three men in black suits, wearing Bluetooth earpieces, walked in carrying three suitcases filled with cash.“Pleasure doing business with you,” Vincenzo said, still grinning.After the man left, Vincenzo called his assistant, Vivien.“Tomorrow, I want you to arrange a grand inauguration ceremony. Make sure you invite all the media, the top business families, and the biggest celebrities. They all need to witness the moment I’m officially named the heir of Morris Corp and crowned the richest man in the world!” He chuckled arrogantly, taking a l
