As time passed by, several months flew by in the blink of an eye. Alex was impressed by thedevelopment of Regenerateur Enterprises. The chairman of Regenerateur Enterprises is indeed acapable and visionary person
After the battle with Fonzo, Alex gained some insights and improved slightly in terms of Mortal Force,but there had been no subsequent progress since then.
While other martial artists may envy the progress of his cultivation, Alex could not help but feelfrustrated and even dissatisfied with his slow advancement.
On a different note, the five-hundred-million majestic castle he built for Maggie was completed within afew months. Such remarkable speed was possible because of the substantial investment pumped intoit.
The residents of Nebula City were all wondering who possessed such an immense financial capacity toconstruct a grand castle with a budget of five hundred million.
Even people from the neighboring provinces came to visit and take pictures of the castle after it wascompleted. They were all amazed by the fairytale-like castle and were in awe of the wealth of its owner.
At that time, Maggie was still unaware of the buzz surrounding the castle in Lumenopolis. She draggedAlex to Lumenopolis with her, wanting to personally inform her grandfather about their engagement.When Alex told Richard about the good news over the phone, the latter slapped on the table andexclaimed in excitement.
Upon landing at the airport in Lumenopolis, Alex and Maggie saw Richard and Giles from a distance.Even Lydia came to the airport to welcome them.
Giles was a tad disappointed when he learned that Alex would be marrying Maggie. After all, Alex wasthe ideal grandson-in-law candidate he had chosen, but unfortunately, his dear old friend had beatenhim to the punch.
Lydia’s cheerful mood was also ruined by the news. Overwhelmed by conflicting emotions, she wassurprisingly silent, which was a rare sight because she was usually lively and energetic.
The happiest person of them all was none other than Richard. He walked up to Alex and patted thelatter’s shoulder. “Young man, I felt a strong affinity when I first saw you, and soon, we’re going to be afamily. How time flies! Maggie’s lucky to have a boyfriend like you.”
“You’re too kind, Old Mr. Grant. It’s my blessing to be able to be with someone as wonderful as Maggie.I’ll take good care of her,” Alex assured Richard, grasping Maggie’s hand. They exchanged ameaningful glance, their gazes brimming with pure happiness.
Richard felt content as he observed that their relationship seemed to have grown even strongercompared to when they celebrated his birthday.
He was pleased that his precious granddaughter didn’t let him down and managed to win over Alex’s
heart.
Richard walked up to Giles, patted his shoulder, and said with a smug look, “Well? What do you think ofmy grandson-in-law? Isn’t he outstanding
He then clicked his tongue and deliberately rubbed it in Giles’ face by saying. “Someone eventhreatened to snatch my grandson-in-law away, but unfortunately, he still failed in his attempts.”
Giles seethed with anger at the sarcastic remark, but he could only clench his teeth, unable to come upwith an appropriate comeback.
Lydia, standing nearby, grew even more dejected upon hearing those words. She realized no matterhow much she liked Alex, she would never be able to compete with Maggie. But should I give up justlike that? I don’t know.
After regaining her composure, Lydia mustered up the courage to walk up to Alex. “Hey, jerk, youpromised you would do something for me. Are you still going to keep that promise?”
Alex contemplated for a while and recalled how he got lost during the birthday celebration, and Lydiawas the one who showed him the way. He remembered he had indeed promised to do something forher.
Had Lydia not reminded him, Alex would have completely forgotten about it.
He could not help but wonder if she brought this up to put him in a difficult position.
