Allen said indifferently, "Whether I'm bluffing you or not, you'll know in thirty seconds!"
Lisa burst out laughing, "Allen, I'll keep you company and wait for thirty seconds then!" Oh no, I'll keep you company and wait for three minutes! If our chairman doesn't come out in three minutes, I'll ask the security guards to tear your mouth apart! Let's see how you can keep bragging in the future! Hahaha! This is really making me laugh! Twenty seconds later, a middle-aged man in a top-quality custom-made suit came running out in a flurry. He was a lackey of the Smith family, but also a lackey with great power. Ever since he took charge of Pras City and became the person in charge of the Ritz-Carlton. He had become one of the most respected figures in the entire Pras City. When had he ever been so flustered? However, he couldn't help but be flustered. He had never dreamed that the young master would appear at the Ritz-Carlton that he was in charge of... Lisa was just about to continue mocking Allen when she suddenly saw that all the security guards beside her were looking behind her with fear on their faces. She instinctively turned around and saw that the chairman was running out from inside. Then, she looked at Allen, her eyes full of shock: How is this possible... Which one is Mr. Allen? Claude's voice was trembling as he spoke. The people around were stunned. The chairman, who could shake Pras City with just a stomp of his foot, was so flustered that his voice had even changed at this moment! At this time, Allen said, "It's me!"Claude immediately rushed up and bowed, ready to speak.
Allen immediately said, "Chairman Claude, don't talk nonsense outside." Upon hearing this, Claude trembled all over with fear. Damn it, he was such a stupid dog! The young master's identity must be highly confidential, and he almost blurted it out. If the young master held it against him, wouldn't he be finished? So he quickly said, "Mr. Allen, welcome to the Ritz-Carlton.Please come to my office and let's talk in detail."
Lisa was so scared that she was stunned. She couldn't accept this reality, but it was indeed happening right in front of her eyes. What on earth was Allen's background? How could he make the chairman of the Ritz-Carlton treat him with respect? She had just mocked him. I wonder if he would hold a grudge. Thinking of this, Lisa quickly put on a flattering expression. She said to Allen in a coquettishly sweet voice, "Welcome, old classmate. It's truly our honor that you've come to our Ritz-Carlton. Please come in quickly..." She thought that by complimenting Allen a few words, he would forget or overlook what she had just done. Upon hearing Lisa's words, Claude asked in surprise, "Lisa, you're Young Master Allen's classmate?" Lisa quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! We have a very good relationship!" Claude immediately said, "Report to the president's office tomorrow. From now on, you'll be the head of human resources of the Ritz-Carlton!" Going from a team leader to the head of human resources meant crossing at least three ranks in the Ritz-Carlton. Her treatment would increase by more than ten times, and she would hold the power of life and death over most of the employees. She would definitely be one of the high-level executives. Upon hearing this, Lisa was so excited that she almost fainted.At this moment, Allen said coldly, "Claude, do you know what my relationship with Lisa is?"
Claude thought that Allen was not satisfied with this arrangement and immediately said, "If Mr. Allen is not satisfied, then let Lisa be promoted to vice president directly!" Allen suddenly said, "I called Lisa for help because I didn't have a membership card. As a result, she humiliated me in every way for no reason and even wanted the security guards to beat me up. You actually want to promote her to vice president. What do you mean by that? Do you deliberately want to oppose me?" Upon hearing these words, Claude felt a chill in his heart. Then, the look in his eyes when he looked at Lisa was filled with anger. Immediately after, he slapped Lisa hard in the face and angrily cursed, "How dare you offend Mr. Allen? Do you have a death wish?" Lisa was so scared that her whole body went weak and she knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing. She cried out, "Chairman, I was wrong." Claude suddenly kicked Lisa hard, sending her flying several meters away. He cursed, "You blind wretch!" Today, I'll make you know the price of provoking Mr. Allen! After saying that, he shouted at the security guards beside him, "Beat her up severely! Beat her half to death, and then ruin that face of hers that has had plastic surgery. Then tell the whole of Pras City that if any company dares to hire her in the future, they will be opposing me."Lisa hurriedly said, "Chairman, I was wrong. Please spare me!"
Claude flew into a rage and shouted, "You know you were wrong now? What were you doing earlier? How dare you offend Young Master Allen? If it weren't for the sake of Young Master Allen, I would take your life!" Lisa broke down and cried. She crawled on her knees all the way in front of Allen and kept kowtowing. "Allen, I was wrong. I'm sorry! Please, for the sake of our being classmates, spare me." Allen asked her indifferently, "Lisa, we were classmates. Why did you insult me and my wife just now?" Lisa wailed, "I was muddle-headed just now. It's all because of my big mouth. Please forgive me." Allen said, "I won't attack others if they don't attack me, but if they do, I won't show them any mercy!" After saying that, he gave a cold snort and added, "You brewed this bitter cup, so you have to drink it yourself!" Claude cursed, "If you dare to say one more word to Young Master Allen, I'll have your mouth torn apart!" Lisa immediately didn't dare to plead for mercy anymore and just knelt on the ground crying bitterly. Allen didn't feel any sympathy for her at all and just ignored her. Then he said to Claude, "I want to talk to you about the City in the Sky. Let's go to your office." Claude quickly nodded and said respectfully, "Mr. Allen, follow me!" After saying that, he pointed at the security guards beside him and shouted, "Beat her hard!" Yes, Chairman! The security guards didn't dare to disobey him. They immediately nodded and rushed up to hold Lisa down and gave her a fierce beating. Lisa kept wailing, but Allen completely ignored her. Under Claude's obsequious guidance, he entered the Ritz-Carlton.As soon as he entered Claude's office, Allen got straight to the point. "In a few days, it will be my wedding anniversary with my wife. I want to book the entire City in the Sky. Can you arrange that?"
Claude didn't hesitate. "Young Master, in order to ensure fairness for all high-end members, the City in the Sky always refuses to accept exclusive bookings. Even if a big leader in the city comes, we won't provide the exclusive booking service. However, as long as you need it, from now on, the City in the Sky can even be reserved solely for you!" Allen said indifferently, "That's not necessary. Just reserve it for the anniversary day." In addition, I need you to cooperate with me and prepare some surprises for my wife." Claude immediately said, "Don't worry, Young Master. All the employees of the Ritz-Carlton will follow your orders!" After Allen settled the matter with the Ritz-Carlton and took the bus home. Almost all the passengers on the bus were using the short video app. Moreover, to his surprise, everyone was watching the same video! It was the video of him spending five million dollars generously in the Ailia Jewelry Store! The video started with Kendall's Rolls-Royce motorcade. There were top-level Rolls-Royce cars and more than a dozen black-clothed security guards carrying black suitcases. Five million dollars was thrown on the ground, making the snobbish sales manager feel extremely embarrassed. The whole process was posted online. However, the video didn't capture Allen's face. This video quickly became popular in Pras City. Countless people were speculating about who this super-rich man was. Many girls even dreamed of being Cinderella and meeting this low-key rich man one day. Allen repeatedly confirmed that it was difficult to recognize himself in the video, and then he let out a sigh of relief.Latest Chapter

After finishing his words, he glanced at Juliet and said awkwardly, The patriarch also said that if the Bruce alliance falls through, Miss Juliet would be the perfect alternative.Juliet’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment.Alan, however, spoke in a frigid tone: When my father was condemned by everyone, instead of shielding our family from hardship, he drove us away. Now he expects me to lift the Smith Family to new heights? It is nothing but a fool’s fantasy!Kendall nodded and said, Young Master, the patriarch’s actions were indeed excessive, yet you need not let anger consume you. On the contrary, this presents a perfect chance to turn his scheme against him. You could agree to formalize your betrothal with Miss Juliet, then use this opportunity to demand more resources from him on behalf of the Smith Family. If you become the next patriarch of the Smith Family, your odds of defeating the Bruce Family will improve drastically!Become the patriarch of the Smith Fam

With that, Kendall heaved a sigh and went on. But even when your father was a young man, foreign trade carried out by domestic entrepreneurs remained largely unchanged from the Tang and Song dynasties, lacking any sophisticated expertise. Meanwhile, Europeans and Americans had mastered cross-border finance to perfection—stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital; these were their core trump cards back then.While Asian nations were slaving away manufacturing goods to trade overseas and scrape together profits bit by bit, Western hedge funds flooded Asia with massive hot money, wreaking havoc everywhere. They could trigger financial crises and legally seize the fruits of an Asian country’s labor accumulated over years, even decades, sending its finance, stock market and real estate market crashing down all at once.Back then, the Field Family set their sights on exploiting major domestic clans. When everyone else could only stand by and be victimized
Chapter 740 Father’s Past Part 1
As the chief steward of the Smith Family, Kendall was an influential figure in Neon City. Save for the handful of top-tier clans, the patriarchs of all other families treated him with the utmost deference. Thanks to his standing, his teahouse thrived, drawing crowds of prominent socialites who came to patronize the place.When Alan arrived at Huguang Guild Hall, Kendall had already gotten there ahead of him.He waited personally at the entrance, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw Alan accompanied by a woman wearing a face mask.Having operated deep within Neon City’s elite circles for years, Kendall possessed an extraordinary eye for detail. He recognized at a single glance that the masked woman beside Alan was none other than Juliet, the heiress of the Austin Family.Overwhelmed with delight, he exclaimed excitedly, Young Master, Miss Juliet! What a surprise to see the two of you together!Juliet let out a soft chuckle. Uncle Kendall, I disguised myself this well, yet you still sa

The rest of the clan chimed in one after another, their reasoning plain and simple: Alan had grown up in humble circumstances and was simply unworthy of the eldest young lady of the Bruce Family.Domingo wore a sneering look as he spoke. Father, even though Alan is Second Brother’s son, he’s exactly what young people nowadays call a nobody. How could such a man ever compare to a peerless beauty like Louise?Seeing every single person speaking out in opposition, the old Smith patriarch let out a cold snort and said, Do any of you know that Louise’s mother—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bruce Family—once would have died for John? She chased after him relentlessly for years. If John had given her his consent back then, she would have become the second daughter-in-law of the Smith Family. Even now, she visits John’s grave to pay her respects every single year. Do any of you understand what it means to love someone so much that you grow fond of everything connected to them?His words se
Chapter 738 Marriage Alliance Part 1
That’s right, Gaston, Alan’s male cousin, cut in. I’ve crossed paths with Louise from the Bruce Family before. She’s an icy, reserved woman who rarely attends social events. Countless high-society galas at home and abroad have sent her elaborate invitations, yet she’s turned every single one down. Courting her would be next to impossible. On top of that, I already have a formal engagement. If I pursued her, the Bruces would see right through my ulterior motives.Wendell, the eldest son of Domingo—the third brother and one of Alan’s younger cousins—could not hide his eagerness as he spoke up. Grandfather, let me give it a try!Mitchell glanced at his nephew, whose features were plain and unremarkable, and shook his head. Wendell, the Bruce Family already stands stronger than us. Even Gaston, our eldest grandson, might not be deemed worthy in their eyes—what chance do you have?Domingo’s tone turned sour. Eldest brother, there’s no need to speak like that. Who laid down a rule that the
Chapter 737 The Marriage Contract
Alan patted the back of her hand and smiled. That’s just how life is—one must stand firm through extreme highs and crushing lows. If a person is showered with flattery their entire life, they may never grasp the cruelty of the world or the hardships ordinary people endure. Such a person will likely suffer a devastating loss someday. Unlike me, I’ve seen all the warmth and coldness of humanity ever since I turned eight. All those experiences are an invaluable asset for the rest of my life.Juliet nodded softly, big teardrops sliding down from the corners of her eyes.Her heart ached deeply for the life Alan had led over the past decade and more. Even though he spoke of it so casually, every time she thought about his past, a lump would form in her throat.He was the young heir of the Smith Family, yet he’d been cast adrift in Plus City, suffering through the harshest hardships of society’s lowest rung. Juliet could not fathom how he’d endured all those years.Though she was younger tha
