However, at this moment, Chief Judge Houston held down Alex’s arm and shot him a look. “Mr. Cohen, you should know that it's not easy to collect debt nowadays. Mr. Xavier took the initiative to pay you back for Chase Lucas instead. This is a good occasion that’s hard to come by, so you should accept it after all. Opportunity rarely knocks twice.”“Huh?” Confused, Alex did not understand what Chief Judge Houston meant.Gerald finally let out a smile, but it was a scornful one. “Chief Judge, you
“How are you going to rip him off?”Alex became more and more curious. He desperately wanted to know Chief Judge Houston's plan.However, Chief Judge Houston did not want to tell them now and Gerald Xavier had come back to rush them too.With no choice, Alex had to suppress his intense curiosity inside. Once they went to the bank and transferred the 200 million on the check to his bank card under the watchful eyes of Gerald Xavier and Chief Judge Houston, they quickly headed to the court. On
Gerald immediately became anxious as he stared at Chief Judge Houston. “Houston, what do you mean by that?”Everyone else in the room was also stunned.Frozen, Alex looked at Kevin and Big Ken, who were also confused, before he looked at the smiling Chief Judge Houston. A possibility suddenly occurred to him, but he could not confirm it, so he stared at Chief Judge Houston again, eager for him to verify his guess.Chief Judge Houston did not let them wait for long either and as if nothing had
Alex shook his head dumbfoundedly.The agreement was already in effect. Alex had fulfilled his wish for real, yet it felt a little surreal. In his plan, using that IOU to take those properties under the name of Chase Lucas was the best outcome. Yet earlier in the restaurant, when he learned that the valuation of those industries ranged between 180 to 200 million, he thought that paying 10 million for the price disparity would be fine.Unexpectedly, Gerald Xavier appeared out of nowhere.Due t
After Alex and Kevin went their separate ways, Alex took Big Ken and rushed straight to Military Hospital. When he saw Zeke in the hallway of the inpatient department, he hurriedly went forward to support Zeke. He asked with a concerned expression, “Zeke, why did you come out alone?”Zeke shook his head. “The doctor said that I’ve recovered quickly, so I can move freely now.”“Shouldn’t you at least have someone to accompany you? What if you trip and fall?” “Haha, don’t worry, I'm not that d
“You speak as if my education level isn’t at junior high school level as well.”“Ahem… Zeke, even if you only have a junior high school education, you’re young and strong. Not to forget that you have a brilliant mind. You should stop refusing and listen to me. You’ll be the general manager. In the future, you will focus on the operation and I will lead my brothers to look after the field. I can learn some management experience from you along the way.”“Symore, do you really mean it?”“Of cour
“Those are your words, not mine!”Cynthia had been quite annoyed for holding her temper while dealing with Xena for the past few days, so her mood instantly lifted after having received Alex’s gift. She could not afford the lipstick herself and did not lack lipstick either, but that was how women were. Cosmetics were to women what cars were to men. They could never have too much.Alex could no longer wait. When he was done talking to Cynthia, he quickly went into the house. Once inside, he slo
Alex had no intention to deal with Xena even from the start, but now the situation had changed.In order to salvage his feelings for Isla, he had to go through Xena Sanders first.If it were another person, Alex would not find it difficult.The key was that Xena Sanders was just bad to the bone and too annoying to deal with.Alex thought about it and suddenly realized a problem. Cynthia had suffered so much grievance, it would be no surprise if she held a grudge against Xena. In fact, she wa
