I was stunned. Alexander turned his head away, muttering softly:
“If it were for your brother, I wouldn’t bother wasting time sitting in such boring meetings.”
He added: “I told you, I was attracted by your abilities.”
After saying this, he was like a sulking big boy, picking up his knife and fork and fiercely cutting the steak in front of him.
After cutting it, he pushed the plate in front of me:
“Eat it while it’s hot. I remember you like it medium rare. But the chef here is mediocre, not as good as my cooking.”
He was always so thoughtful.
This meal ended in this subtle yet warm atmosphere.
I immediately called my elusive brother:
“Bro, why is Alexander appearing in Ocean City?”
My brother let out a strange cry:
“You really went to take over the business in Ocean City? He’s finally got his chance!”
I was confused: “What chance?”
He mysteriously said “Fate will bring you together” and hung up the phone.
The Shaw family’s business spans the globe, with Dad and uncles constantly traveling abroad.
My brother was also sent abroad to study from a young age.
If it weren’t for him often taking care of me during my studies abroad, I would have almost forgotten I had such a brother.
Although Alexander was my brother’s childhood friend, as close as real brothers, he was actually a year younger than me.
My brother sent me a message:
[This guy is your number one fan. Cherish him well! (smirking emoji)]
Followed by another: [Wishing you a long and happy marriage, a perfect match, and a hundred years of harmony~]
Trolled my eyes: [Bro, you’re using those idioms way too casually (angry emoji)]

Mom told me that Lucas had either been living in the company or lying in the hospital lately.
Once he fainted after working continuously for three days, and another time he nearly couldn’t be saved after drinking a bottle of white liquor
without eating anything.
Speaking of him, I couldn’t help but feel indignant for my past self:
“He deserves this. The Carter Group was already a mess, yet he was still thinking about dating all day”
“Why should I shoulder everything for him while he was out fooling around? Now he’s finally tasting his own medicine!”
Mom sighed: “I saw through that boy from the beginning. Now it’s all come true.”
“A few days ago, he knelt at our doorstep begging for forgiveness. I didn’t even give him a glance. Just thinking about what he did makes me angry.”
I heard that after Mr. Carter passed away, Rachel went to make a scene at the Carter house and was beaten out by Mrs. Carter.
That little bitch wasn’t easy to deal with either. She immediately started arguing with Mrs. Carter:
“Don’t think you can control Lucas. He said I’m the one he loves most!”
“You and that dead Emily are the same, always forcing him to work. He’s long been sick of it!”
“He said he wants to take me abroad to settle down and never come back! If you’re nice to me, maybe I’ll let him come back to see you occasionally!”
Mrs. Carter was so angry she fainted on the spot. The child in her belly was almost lost. Now she has to get injections every day to keep the
pregnancy.
My mom said fearfully:
“These people have gone crazy!”
“It’s a good thing you didn’t marry into that family!”
Mrs. Carter must be regretting it now. After all, not everyone can help her manage the business and take care of her child.
