Jason fell to the ground, his mouth full of teeth mixed with fresh blood scattered across the floor. The pain made him roll around, emitting miserable cries. This quickly drew the attention of many.
Seeing someone bleeding profusely at the Moore family’s banquet, clearly having been struck, everyone was secretly shocked. Who could be bold enough to attack someone at the Moore family’s event?
However, when everyone saw Alexander standing next to Jason, with blood on the hem of his pants, their expressions looked as if they had been struck by lightning. They were frozen in place.
“Am I seeing things? Is that Mr. Wilson?” a man in a suit and leather shoes rubbed his eyes, doubting if he was hallucinating. “Impossible, right? Doesn’t Mr. Wilson never attend these kinds of gatherings?”
Although Alexander was younger than Daxton, he was the leading figure among the younger generation in the business world. Not to mention someone young like Benjamin; even Daxton was no match for Alexander. Whether it was tactics, vision, or judgment, he was incomparable among his peers.
One could say that, in the eyes of many, Alexander emerged as a standout figure in Cyperia’s business landscape, rising above the rest after a few of the old guard had exited the scene. Only someone like Daxton, an ultimate big boss, could clash with Alexander. This was also why Alexander, at such a young age, was well respected. Alexander’s presence undoubtedly sparked a buzz among those present.
If it were anyone else making a move at the Moore family’s event, they would think that person was doomed. But now, with Alexander as the assailant… it seemed like the person who got hit deserved it.
Under everyone’s gaze, Alexander showed no sign of guilt for his public “assault.” He stood emotionless, holding a wine glass, taking a light sip. The red wine mirrored Jason’s fresh blood. Under the night sky, Alexander in a black tuxedo looked like a blood-drinking vampire, elegant yet dangerous. His profound eyes casually swept over Olivia. Mia was stunned.
Having experienced her family’s bankruptcy, she knew well that Olivia was backed by the Wilson family. Her mind raced with words of love and hatred, convinced that Alexander’s sudden visit and intervention were all because of Olivia.
However…
“Sir, your blood splattered on my cake,” Olivia blinked and looked down at the few drops of fresh blood that had landed on her little cake. She clearly remembered that Alexander never attended any events outside the Wilson family’s. He would rather use that time to review a couple more contracts. Why did he unexpectedly show up here today?
Although Olivia was surprised by Alexander’s arrival, she vividly remembered their prenuptial agreement. Outside, the two had no relation. Olivia could not act as if she knew Alexander. So, to her, the man in front of her was a stranger.
Alexander had seen Olivia being harassed from afar and had come over intending to play the hero. But he had never expected… not only did Olivia not show a delighted expression, but she also complained about him dirtying her dessert with blood?
Olivia’s response not only baffled Alexander, but even Mia next to her was dumbfounded. Olivia, isn’t there something more pressing to focus on right now?
