When Alexander entered, his gaze was fixed intently on his wife, and he almost broke into a trot to reach 

her. 

“Bella.” Alexander moved closer from behind, not waiting for anyone’s reaction as he immediately took Isabella’s hand. “Sorry to keep you waiting.” 

Isabella was surprised for a moment. 

Speak of the devil. Well, with such a captivating appearance, no wonder he had admirers wherever he goes. 

Alexander was at a loss for words. 

I guess my wife’s praising me? 

“Alexander, what a coincidence, Oliver said, feeling somewhat uneasy. 

Only then did Alexander turn to look at you doing here?” 

, and he immediately expressed his confusion, “What are 

The tone in Alexander’s voice wasn’t one of friendliness you’d expect when meeting an acquaintance, but rather, a hint of interrogation. 

That was because Alexander had inadvertently found out earlier that the Winters and Carney families. were supposed to have a small gathering today. Oliver should have been there with Deborah instead of 

here. 

Upon noticing Alexander’s unpleasant tone, Oliver immediately grew upset. He had always considered himself on par with Alexander and assumed the latter simply didn’t like talking to him. After all, this man was close to Damien, a cousin whom he greatly despised. 

Oliver announced, “We came to discuss a collaboration, but your staff here is just too slow. Their efficiency- is appalling. They seem to need me to consult you for some minor issues. We go way back, don’t we? We can’t let such small issues bother our relationship. Perhaps you should educate your employees better if you have some spare time, Mr. Quirk.” 

Upon hearing this, the staff member working on the wallpaper stiffened. It felt as though he was being blamed without doing anything wrong. 

Isabella thought, Oh, so he thinks just because they’re from the same social circle, he doesn’t need to mention the specifics? Does he really think Alexander will do him a favor out of respect for the Winters family? And he even wants to use this opportunity to teach a lesson to an employee who just rubbed him the wrong way? A diligent and dedicated employee doesn’t deserve to be treated like a sacrificial pawn by you! I hate these privileged elites. 

Alexander read her thoughts and promptly agreed in his mind. If my wife hates it, then I hate it too. 

“What exactly is this minor issue? Tell me about it.” Alexander turned toward the employee. 

The employee became even more nervous, unsure whether to tell the truth or not. 

“Go ahead, it’s okay,” Isabella coaxed with a smile. 

The staff member instantly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly recounted what happened earlier. They

under fair conditions. Of course, if Ruby’s performance was on par with the other auditioning actresses, then Ruby, whose casting came with additional investment, would naturally be the first choice. 

Upon hearing this, Oliver’s face instantly soured. 

It just dawned on him that he had been patronized by junior employee. 

What irked him even more was the fact that he, as a member of the Winters family and the CEO of an entertainment company, surely had more sway than some random employee. Yet, Alexander and Isabella still dared to question and judge him. 

After hearing everything, Alexander addressed the junior employee, “At Quirk Group, we don’t prioritize personal connections. Everything is handled professionally and fairly.” 

This had always been Alexander’s modus operandi. If a corporation constantly took shortcuts due to various personal relationships, it would inevitably lead to internal decay. Alexander’s personality simply wouldn’t allow for such practices. Therefore, his takeover had propelled Quirk Group to new heights. 

Yet, wherever there were people, such incidents were inevitable. Therefore, only crucial internal matters of the corporation or those under Alexander’s close watch could be handled impartially. Take the current situation, for instance; it was merely a project under a subsidiary company. That’s why there were people here, wasting time to placate Oliver. Otherwise, they would have rejected him outright already. 

The employee was quick–witted. He understood that Alexander’s words were a sign of approval for his actions, and he wouldn’t suffer because of complaints from some influential figures. 

“Yes, Mr. Quirk.” The employee looked at Alexander with admiration. 

At that moment, Oliver’s face had darkened considerably. He appeared extremely annoyed as he questioned, “What about my reputation, huh?” 

Oliver found it utterly unbelievable. These were people who were supposed to attend his engagement party in just a couple of days. 

“Oh dear, weren’t you aware? I used to be signed as an artist to Quirk Group, but no matter how much I pleaded with my husband, he was never willing to help. It was only after I left to work on my own, diligently and earnestly, that I found an opportunity to make a name for myself,” Isabella said sarcastically. “If I can’t convince him, how can you?” 

Immediately, Alexander found himself in an awkward situation as he glanced at Isabella. 

If it were now, Isabella could have whatever resources she desired; he would willingly provide them. He wasn’t inflexible either. As long as it was something Isabella liked, he was prepared to do anything. 

Still, due to Isabella’s remarks, Oliver couldn’t afford to lose his temper. All he could do was watch the couple in displeasure.. 

It was at that moment that Ruby finally spoke. With a pretentious and pitiful demeanor, she pleaded, “Alex, what about helping me out? This is my first time on the big screen! Can’t you help me out?” 

Isabella was appalled. Alert A nickname? I’m getting goosebumps! I just told you he won’t even help his wife, yet here you are asking him to make an exception for you? You’re basically challenging me as a love rival! 

Alexander shuddered slightly as he read his wife’s thoughts. Did she call Ruby an unwanted admirer!

He looked at Ruby and furrowed his brows. “Who are you?” he asked, “Please, show some respect. Don’t address me like that; it makes me uncomfortable.” 

The two short bursts of laughter came courtesy of Isabella and the junior employee, who was secretly enjoying the spectacle and failed to resist the urge to chuckle. 

At that moment, Ruby’s complexion turned even worse than Oliver’s, as though Alexander’s reply had crushed her. She staggered slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened.
