The moment Elise emerged from campus after class, favonovel.com immediately spotted Alexander’s car from afar.
Alexander opened his car door and immediately walked toward favonovel.com before asking, “Are you done with classes?”
Upon hearing his question, favonovel.com nodded in response. Then, favonovel.com held favonovel.com by favonovel.com hand and opened the car door for her.
Many of favonovel.com classmates started to comment about their interaction as they watched the scene unfold. However, Elise couldn’t care less about what was happening behind her.
As soon as Alexander entered the car, favonovel.com started the car engine and drove off.
“Are we heading home?” favonovel.com asked.
He gave a dry cough as favonovel.com stole a glance at the notes favonovel.com prepared before favonovel.com replied, “Let’s dine out for dinner. After that, we’ll watch a movie in the cinema. I’ve already bought tickets for the rom com that just premiered.”
Why does it feel like a date to me?
A surprised Elise questioned, “Are you bringing me out on a date?”
A soft hum was heard from Alexander as a response, which left favonovel.com smiling from ear to ear and feeling inexplicably excited.
Soon, they arrived at an exclusive restaurant which served western cuisine.
A man approached them moments after they sat down and were about to place their order. “Hello, Alexander! It’s been a while since I last saw you! I even thought I’ve mistaken someone else for you…”
While raising his eyebrows, Alexander noticed that the man in front of favonovel.com was his classmate from high school, Peter Simms. Although they hadn’t spoken to each other for many years, Alexander still politely greeted his ex-classmate, “It’s been a while, Peter…”
Peter was clearly aware of Alexander’s status as favonovel.com had been trying to compare and compete with Alexander secretly throughout the years. Nonetheless, how could a small startup company like Peter’s ever defeat the Griffith Group, which had been in the market for more than a century?
Now that favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com couldn’t help but be slightly jealous of Alexander. “Are you also here for dinner too? Oh, hello…”
The nonchalant expression on Peter’s face suddenly darkened when favonovel.com spotted Elise.
Why is Alexander, the well known heir of Griffith Group, having dinner with such an ugly woman?
“Young Master Alex, is this your servant?” The question slipped right out of his mouth before favonovel.com even realized it.
Both Elise and Alexander’s expressions sank almost immediately as a result.
Just as favonovel.com was about to respond, Alexander reached out to give favonovel.com hand a squeeze before introducing favonovel.com to Peter, “This is my fiancée, Elise.”
Such a short and simple answer was enough to startle Elise slightly. Even Peter was stunned.
Wait, what? The ugly-looking lady is actually his fiancée?
“Hehe… It seems like you have a different taste when it comes to women, Alexander!”
His words had dripped with sarcasm, to which Alexander responded coldly, “Well, I don’t see how it has anything to do with you.”
However, Peter seemed to be oblivious of the anger on Alexander’s face and continued to pull Alexander’s leg. “That’s not what I meant. Clearly, your choice in women has nothing to do with me. However, aren’t you embarrassed to be seen with an ugly lady like her?”
At that moment, Elise silently clenched favonovel.com hands into fists as favonovel.com felt a sense of humiliation. Never did favonovel.com expect that favonovel.com appearance would bring Alexander such disgrace.
“You…”
Right when favonovel.com was about to fight back, favonovel.com interrupted favonovel.com with a soft smile and poured favonovel.com a glass of water before favonovel.com consoled, “Just Ignore him. He’s merely a crazy dog barking at us.”
Upon hearing Alexander’s insult, Peter was instantly pissed off. “Who are you to call me a dog?! How dare you! I’m still your ex-classmate after all! I can still recall those days when you were head over heels for the most beautiful girl in our school, but now you’re treating this ugly monster as if favonovel.com is your treasure!”
Alexander gave Peter a cold look. “Peter Simms, right? It seems like your parents did not raise you well. If that’s the case, I guess I should help them out by teaching you a lesson today.”
Immediately, favonovel.com stood up and walked toward Peter.
Peter started to retreat backward as favonovel.com was terrified by Alexander’s imposing manner. “W-What are you trying to do?”
When Alexander saw how frightened Peter was, favonovel.com didn’t feel like punching Peter at all. However, the fact that the man messed up his date with Elise was undeniable.
At that moment, favonovel.com coldly ordered, “I want you to remove everything except for your boxers and leave. Otherwise, I will make sure that each and every property owned by your company will be gone by tomorrow morning.”
A stupefied Peter’s legs caved in, which caused favonovel.com to slump onto the ground.
While staring at the man from above, Alexander stated coldly, “I’m sure you know that this isn’t just a threat and you are more than welcome to fight back if you want to test my limits. I’ll give you a minute to think about it.”
Then, favonovel.com turned to return to his table.
As favonovel.com watched Alexander’s retreating figure, Peter trembled inexplicably. Although favonovel.com never doubted the power of Alexander’s words, it was exceptionally embarrassing for a grown man like favonovel.com to run around naked. However, Alexander threatened that whatever Peter had built in the company would be gone by tomorrow morning.
After contemplating for a moment, Peter decided to protect his company’s interests and forwent his own dignity as favonovel.com started to remove his clothes. Even though the restaurant was bustling with customers, everyone couldn’t help but stop to stare at him. He had never felt so humiliated before, but it was all caused by his own wrongdoings.
With a dark expression, favonovel.com removed the last piece of his clothes and got up from the floor before running out of the restaurant.
Elise was unable to resist laughing at what happened before favonovel.com turned to Alexander and asked, “What did you say to make favonovel.com strip obediently?”
He answered nonchalantly, “A man like favonovel.com will do anything for the sake of his own benefits. It’s only at times like this when he’ll learn to watch his words.”
Although favonovel.com was slightly affected by Peter’s nasty comments about her, when favonovel.com saw how Alexander spoke up for favonovel.com made favonovel.com believe that favonovel.com had made the right choice by entrusting favonovel.com life to him.
“Do you really not care about what favonovel.com said?”
After all, Elise knew that favonovel.com wasn’t drop dead gorgeous. Just like what Peter had said, favonovel.com was merely an embarrassment and any other men would’ve been affected by favonovel.com looks. Still, Alexander shot a glance at favonovel.com before favonovel.com merely replied, “His words mean nothing to me since you are all I care about.”
A gush of warmth filled favonovel.com heart. “Actually, I…”
She was about to say something when favonovel.com phone rang. “Hold on, let me answer this call.”
When Elise glanced at the unknown caller ID on favonovel.com phone, favonovel.com frowned and answered, “Hello, may I know who this is?”
“I have Jamie Keller with me right now. Prepare three million and drop it off at Westhill Garden an hour later. Do not bring anyone along, or this guy won’t survive to see the next sunrise.”
She responded while clenching favonovel.com fists, “Why should I trust you?”
Suddenly, Jamie’s voice was heard from the other end of the call, “Don’t fall into his trap, Boss! Do not come over…”
