After Bruce got the wind knocked out of him.
The expensive phone that had been aimed at Alex the whole time falls on the ground while the live feed is still turned on to record what Alex did.
Alex didn’t know there were several comments on the live video, and they were anything but good, for example, using words like...
"This guy is too violent!"
"That's horrible! Why would he do such a thing to the son of the CEO!"
"How can we have such a disgusting person in our company?"
Things like that went on; they were clearly adding insult to injury by questioning Alex's character and his morals and smearing dirt on his reputation.
At this time, the restaurant manager came with a bunch of staff. He scowled at Alex, who was sprawled on the ground as security kept pinning him down. Not wasting his time with Alex, who was an eyesore to him, he hastily bowed toward Bruce.
"S-Sir, Bruce I apologize for this rude thing, which is misconduct!" The manager profusely apologized.
"Hmmph, you should train your groups properly next time, so they won't allow beggars to enter the establishment!" Bruce reprimanded the restaurant manager.
This caused the manager to become livid with anger, and he directed his hate-filled gaze at Alex as though he were about to swallow him alive. If it weren't for this beggar, the restaurant's reputation and his connection with the son of the CEO wouldn't be smeared!
This mere nobody ruined his plans to get into the good books of Bruce, son of the CEO! The manager gritted his teeth while his glare at Alex intensified. It's this b*stard's thing's fault!
Just then, Bruce implied something to the restaurant manager, saying that he should call 911, and since there was a police station not too far away, they should arrive sooner rather than later. His security personnel didn't lax on holding Alex down."Mr. Bruce, it's done; those officers should be heading here."
"Many thanks, manager Kim; I'll be sure to talk to my father about helping me." Bruce smiled with hypocrisy, and when manager Kim heard that Bruce was willing to say some good words about his deed to his father, he was delighted!
He shook hands with Bruce and thanked him numerous times.
At this moment, Bruce, with a condensing look on his face, shifted his sight at Alex on the floor as he uttered. "Why not apologize? I might change my mind."
There was a long silence inside the restaurant; furthermore, the diners were mostly surprised as they found out who Bruce was, and they didn't dare disturb him while he was dealing with Alex. To them, why would they help a complete stranger when it had nothing to do with them?
"I'm sorry, it's my fault," Alex uttered with difficulty.
"What?" Bruce smirked as he taunted. "I can't hear you quite clearly. Can you repeat that?"
Alex clenched his fist; he could see the look of hesitation and pity on Shenna's face, but it was only for a split second before it was replaced with scorn in her deep brown eyes.
Had it always been like this?
'Is this my fault? No, it's not my fault... People like Bruce, who were born with a silver spoon, always step on the dignity of others.' Alex thought at the back of his head with deep sadness in his dark eyes.
The weak will always be trampled down.
Actually, there wasn't any particular reason why Bruce was doing this to him; it was because he can! It was that simple, and to them, it was fun...
Bruce knows full well that his reputation is basically over. No one would recruit him for their company after what happened here. The live video was bound to go viral; once it was on the internet, there was no way for it to disappear. Just the mere thought of becoming a "meme" for everyone to laugh at!
And yet this b*stard wanted him to apologize, saying that he wanted to give him a second chance.
For what?!
Out of mercy?
Then, that would be a huge joke. This isn't an offer.
'He just wants to see me pathetically beg him! This sadistic b*stard took away my girlfriend and ruined my life!' Alex bit the corner of his lips until they bled.
It didn't take long before rushed footsteps could be heard inside the hotel's restaurant. Seconds after the restaurant's security could be seen bringing a couple of police officers, at the forefront was the police chief commander. His thick brows were quite a spectacle as he turned his head and pointed in Alex's direction.
"Is this the guy?" It was apparent that the police chief commander was already fed with Bruce's side of the story.
Bruce nodded while subtly whispering in the chief officer's ears. This caused him to smirk while glancing in Alex's direction in amusement.
"Bring him to the station."
"What? Shouldn't you assess the situation first?"
"Investigate?" The police chief brushed off Alex's words as he smirked. "There's no need for that; bring him to the station."
Hearing that, Alex went pale and clenched his jaws. They didn't even follow the protocol; they outright arrested him, so he finally knows what's going on. These police officers were in cohorts with Bruce!
One of the police officers saw Alex, who was dazed as he lay flat on the ground, as he impatiently said. "Are you daydreaming? Move!"
'Arg.' Alex let out a groan as his chest was struck by the police officer. They were treating him roughly, as though they were handling a murderer!
Alex could only reluctantly stand up against his will as he gazed at Shenna, who was looking at him with a cold and distant expression.
"Shenna...." Alex mumbled as he paused for a second before he forced out a smile as he spoke emotionally. "Is this what you want? I didn't mistreat you. I've given you everything...."
'....I'm even willing to give up my life for you yet. You choose a wolf over me.' Alex said in his heart that, nevertheless, all he could see in Shenna, his now former lover, was coldness and indifference.
Indeed, she has already made a decision to replace him.
Just then, Alex heard a mocking voice from the police officers.
"Pft, stop with the drama."
"My stomach hurts, this retard is so cringe-worthy. You should stop watching so many drama movies!"
The police officers cracked up as they patted Alex on the shoulder while pushing him toward the restaurant outside the hotel.
Needless to say, for them to treat him like this even when everything was being filmed live... Alex thought to himself. However, what he failed to recognize was that Brice had made sure to portray Alex as the "bad guy," so no one would side with him!
"Tsk, what a fool." The police officer rudely pushed Alex toward the exit while ridiculing him. "Of all people, why would you mess with the son of a corporate owner? Are you an idiot or what?"
Alex didn't respond, which made the police officers infuriated for some reason.
On the other hand, Bruce was relieved, but he was also slightly annoyed that Alex still found a way to talk with his woman. He surreptitiously wiped away the nosebleed that had escaped.
"I'll make that b*stard's life miserable...." Bruce mumbled. Actually, he knew as soon as Alex raised his fist that he couldn't beat him. But that didn't mean he didn't have any other methods to make his life turn into "hell."
Bruce narrowed his gaze toward Alex, who was being shoved inside the police vehicle.
Meanwhile, Alex sat in a cramped room at the police station, then an unfamiliar male police officer came in, bringing a spark of hope to his dark eyes.
In the back of his mind, he was thinking that since this police officer wasn't present at the hotel's restaurant, he should listen to his side of the story.
However, to Alex's surprise, the police officer directly interrupted Alex as he was about to speak and informed him that someone had filed several charges against him and demanded $15,000 bail or he would go to jail.
Instantly, Alex blurted out his disbelief. "You're being unreasonable!"
How could they find him this large amount of money? It couldn't be that much.
"Are you going to pay or not?"
"I can't...."
Hearing that, the cop sneered as he left, thinking that Alex was merely a beggar.
At this point, Alex cursed out..
Damn it!
Looking at the situation and the attitude of all the cops in this station, it was clear at the time that these cops were already bought by that b*stard Bruce!
What was he supposed to do in this situation? He couldn't get so much money in such a short time.
He had already given all his hard-earned money to Shenna, and to boot, he hadn't had any other friends since he met Shenna. He was broke!
He had no way to borrow money....
Fortunately, the cops were neglectful enough to not confiscate his phone. He hurriedly dialed his close colleague at the office. He had no choice but to thicken his face, moments after the phone was picked up on the other side! which made Alex sigh in relief.
"Hello, brother Louis, it's me, Alex, your colleague at the office...."
Before Alex could even finish his words, the phone was directly hung up.

Teacher Vivian recovered from her shock and glared at her husband. "What are you waiting for? Shouldn't you carry your own luggage?""Um..." Richard's face was turning a shade of red as he hurriedly grabbed the bags Alex was carrying."Y-You must be tired, junior brother?" 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. I can carry it for you all the way."Richard was stunned then, his back broke a cold sweat as he felt like crying with no tears. Not to mention, his wife was glaring at him."I-I'll carry it from here, please." Richard uttered, and at the end of his sentence, his voice was the sound of a mosquito; it was barely audible. On the other hand, Teacher Vivian came forward and faced Alex

"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. On the side, teacher Vivian was similarly stunned, but soon she recovered, and she was starting to worry as she uttered. "Does it mean we will have to leave?""Let me think..." Richard gritted his teeth; he shouldn't have lost his cool, yet he had

Around ten in the morning, Alex finally arrived at his destination.He got out of the car while taking off his eyewear, which caused his brows to involuntarily twitch as he felt the heat rays from the glaring sun. Then he turned his attention toward the famous property of Antonio Florence.Undoubtedly, the plantsIt was a mixture of greenery and modernity, as the villas and the mansion were surrounded by gorgeous, rare plants. 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." A young man in his late teens who looks like an employee with his white and black uniform came to Alex and led him toward where a group of visitors was.'Kate and the others are not present. They've already gone ahead; I should look for them later.' Alex mumbled while scanning the crowd, looking for his co-workers, only to fail.At this point, as
Chapter 64; Outing To The Golden Paradise!
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... Oh, I almost forgot this is for you."Rihanna took out a small pink towel and handed it to Alex in a shy manner."Wow, thank you, Rihanna." Alex grinned as

At this juncture, the veterans were starting to incircle around Alex; one of the veterans even moved a step closer toward Shenna.Just as the perverted veteran was about to grab her, Alex suddenly blocked his outstretched hands with his body."Tell your men to stop." 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." "Alright, I'll explain it to you....
