Ivanka was not a mild-tempered person.Alexander chuckled and said, “It’s not like I enjoy being rejected. It depends on who is rejecting me. I’ll only enjoy it if you’re the one doing it. By the way, are you coming over? I have the answer you want!”As he spoke, he drawled on purpose.Ivanka’s heart sank.Alexander said he had the answer to her question. He had also stated clearly that the person who wanted her dead was a woman.Therefore, it could be the masked woman next to him!With that in mind, Ivanka was intrigued.Her lips curled into a smile. “Since you have invited me so cordially, I should at least show up out of politeness.”After a few encounters with Ivanka, Alexander knew that she was smart. She must have connected the dots somehow, or else her attitude would not change so easily.But considering that he was the one showing his hand first, he would be intimidated if she kept digging.In fact, rather than working with Eleanor, he wanted to see Ivanka at her best
Eleanor grew increasingly enraged. She attacked Alexander.Alexander was a decent fighter. He took a step back to evade her, but she pressed on relentlessly. The two of them soon engaged in a fierce fight.... Meanwhile, although Alexander had said he would come to pick up Ivanka, she did not expect him to actually show up. Therefore, she did remain where she was. Instead, she went to Alexander’s private room.To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Eleanor and Alexander fighting.The scene surprised her, but it also made her curious and pensive. These two were supposed to be partners, yet they were fighting at such a crucial moment, which clearly indicated a conflict of interest.What had Alexander done to cause such a thing?Ivanka realized that Alexander’s actions had been subtly revealing important information to her. She understood that the room they were in held the answers she had been looking for. He had even offered to come pick her up personally.So,
Everyone was confused.Michael domineeringly pulled Ivanka into his arms. He frowned with a hint of annoyance and disdain. “You disappeared the moment I looked away. Iv, the casino is huge! You made it difficult for me to find you.”Ivanka was puzzled by this. She frowned, clearly displeased.Michael was not the type to say something so cheesy. He had his own pride and dignity, which made her wonder what he was trying to pull.She did not want to embarrass him in front of others or start a quarrel with him in the casino. Instead, she retorted, “Yes, the casino is huge, but you still managed to find me, didn’t you?”As she said this, she subtly tried to free herself from his grip.Michael noticed it but did not loosen his hold. Meanwhile, Ivanka did not want to struggle too openly.Alexander’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to move, Eleanor stepped in front of him. “Alexander, don’t forget we’re here to talk business with the casino owner.”Her question seemed designe
As the three of them continued their back-and-forth, Eleanor grew increasingly frustrated. They seemed to be completely ignoring her.Even though the public did not fully support her, she was still a royal princess. These three acted as if she did not exist. It was intolerable.She became impatient and said, “Can you three take your nonsense elsewhere? I booked this room! I need to rest and watch the event.”Only then did Ivanka realize Eleanor’s presence.Ivanka narrowed her eyes. “If you’re going to pretend you don’t understand what I’m saying, fine. But can you at least remove your mask? Or tell me your name?”She knew Eleanor would neither reveal her name nor take off her mask. Ivanka was simply testing her to observe her reaction.Unexpectedly, Eleanor calmly removed her mask.Alexander was stunned. He had not expected that beneath her mask was yet another face!Ivanka carefully observed the unfamiliar face before her. She tried to recall if they had met before, but she ha
Michael did not respond to Alexander, but Ivanka could feel a cold aura emanating from him.A moment later, Michael released her.Ivanka knew Michael did not tolerate provocations. If he could deal with Alexander the way he had handled George, she would not have said a word.However, Alexander was different from George.As Michael stepped forward, the people around them began to move. Ivanka noticed Alexander pulling a handgun from his waist. Eleanor followed suit.Just as the situation was about to escalate, Njord entered with his subordinates.“What’s this? Planning a massacre at Kingzillion Casino?”His words immediately stopped everyone in their tracks.“Ms. Ivanka, our boss needs to see you urgently.”Njord showed no respect to Alexander, Eleanor, or even Michael, but he was extremely deferential toward Ivanka.The onlookers were stunned and wondered what was going on.Before anyone could react, Ivanka, uninterested in further arguing, nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go
“Michael is the type who does whatever he wants and doesn’t care about anyone. You saw it yourself. My companion and I were really pushed to our limits by him earlier. We’re truly sorry; we didn’t mean to cause trouble. We’ll get rid of these guns!”As Alexander spoke, he gave Eleanor a look.It was best not to cause trouble here. He had only intended to intimidate Michael earlier, not to take actual action.However, before they could disarm themselves, Njord had already done it for them.For them, this was a slap in the face and a provocation!But their people had long been subdued by Kingzillion Casino’s staff.Alexander noticed Michael’s gaze remaining cold and indifferent as he watched the scene unfold.Njord showed no interest in their interaction as he said, “Kingzillion Casino doesn’t tolerate troublemakers. You need to leave within ten minutes!”Eleanor’s expression darkened instantly. As a princess, she was not accustomed to being reprimanded so disrespectfully by a su
Meanwhile, Alexander’s expression was serious. However, his thoughts were far more complex than Eleanor’s.As they were lost in their thoughts, several of Njord’s subordinates quickly rushed forward.“What are you guys doing?!” Eleanor, though a princess, wavered due to the sudden and rough treatment. Two of the subordinates had already started searching her body and were even groping her shamelessly.She shouted angrily, “You bastards! Do you even know what you’re doing? Do you know who I am?”Njord looked at her with disdain. “Hmph, I don’t care who you are! If you’ve broken the rules here, don’t think you can just walk away like this!”He still remembered Vincenzo’s instructions, so he would not concern himself with anything beyond that.Alexander remained stationary but soon found himself approached by others.He spoke immediately, “I came here to join the event and didn’t mean to cause any trouble. There’s no need for a fight like this. If word gets out, it’ll make everyone
Njord read Michael’s mind. The moment he reached out to pat Michael’s shoulder, Michael quickly avoided him. At the same time, Michael threw him a glare. His glare was akin to warning Njord that it was simply wishful thinking to come close to him. Njord smirked. “Mr. Barkworth, take good care of yourself.”After he finished his sentence, he turned around and gestured to his subordinates. They then left the private room in front of Michael. Michael’s gaze was profound, cold, and razor-sharp. ... Meanwhile, Ivanka saw the video of Alexander and Eleanor in their most embarrassing state through a phone. Apparently, someone had deliberately recorded it. Alexander and Eleanor walked along the road without anyone following them. Not even a car stopped in front of them. They might not know who Eleanor was, but Alexander was a crown prince. Vincenzo must have been aware. Even though he knew Alexander was a crown prince, he went ahead with his plan anyway. This was suspicious.
