Maggie looked at Alex longingly and said, “Mr. Jefferson, I know that you are a good person, just that many a time you do not understand what a girl has in mind.” 

Alex did not deny, rather he nodded and admitted, “Perhaps.” 

Seeing that Alex was slow to catch on, Maggie smirked and said, “Mr. Jefferson, to tell you the truth, with your current prowess, you can easily take over the Jefferson family. To the best of my knowledge, with the family currently under your brother Shane’s control, it will be ruined sooner or later.” 

Alex felt inspired, yet he shook his head and said, “My current family is in Nebula City. I have no intention to come back to Lumenopolis.” 

The truth was, he had no intention to deprive Shane of everything. Plus, he was prepared to wait until he rescued his father, and let him decide the fate of the Jeffersons. 

Also, the Morrisons would definitely try to assassinate him. Hence, he should not stay long at Lumenopolis too. 

Now, all he yearned for was to continuously grow his business and to look for a way to rescue his father. 

Maggie said in a puzzled manner, “Actually, Mr. Jefferson, with your capabilities, you could have married any lady with prominent family background. I am sure those families would gladly marry off their daughters to you. The Jennings family was merely a small clan who can’t even assist you in achieving your goals.” 

Alex looked at Maggie curiously and teased, “Does that include the Grant family? Perhaps they are willing to marry you off to me?” 

Maggie’s heartbeats started racing. Her cheeks felt hot, and her face was as red as a ripe apple. Bingo! Seemed like Alex’s question hit the spot! 

In fact, she really wanted to say yes immediately. Everyone in my family wants me to marry you. Even my grandfather would not hesitate to start a war with the Morrisons for your sake, including dissuading them from hiring assassins to murder you. In fact, he has gone to the Morrisons. 

However, she could not tell him. 

She just couldn’t. 

The fact was Richard had told Maggie to pursue Alex regardless of whether he was married or even had children. She should court him at all cost. 

According to Richard, since their family was cooperating with Alex on such a huge venture, the marriage of convenience between both of them would put everyone at the utmost assurance, 

Secondly, Alex was such an accomplished young man that he was indeed worthy to be the son–in–law to -the Grant family, 

Moreover, Alex’s father Zachary, the foremost figure in Lumenopolis, would sooner or later break out and escape from Doomsday Prison. Should that time come, all the families in Lumenopolis would still have to honor him with the highest respect. 

After taking many factors into consideration, Richard called for Maggie into his room after dinner and gave her that order.

Maggie was well aware of her destiny, her life was dedicated to serving as a tool for the sake of her family. However, being given the order to pursue Alex was perhaps the happiest order she had ever received in these few years and she was more than will to carry it out. 

“Haha, I’m just joking. Don’t take it seriously. Come, let’s drink!” 

Seeing how Maggie’s face had blushed with embarrassment, Alex hurriedly broke off the topic and raised his glass to toast her.
