Alexâs gaze turned cold when he saw Roger Graham. This man was Louis Graham,
Paradise Corpâs presidentâs son.
Alex had also met Louis when he attended the Rockefeller familyâs funeral service.
Louis received a lot of help from William Rockefeller in the past, but he had later jumped
ship to work for John Rockefeller.
In other words, like father, like son.
Roger used to follow Alex around during their time in college. Afterward, when things
went south in the Rockefeller family, and Alex turned from a rich, upper-class child into a
man who depended on women for survival, Louis immediately changed his attitude.
Louis started calling Spark Rockefeller his buddy. On many occasions, Louis kept
throwing Alex under the bus and made sarcastic remarks about Alex behind his back.
Louis and his entire family were a bunch of traitors.
Alex glanced at Maya Howards. He found it odd that she would actually tolerate this
fellow sitting at their table. In the end, Maya turned to look at Alex with a playful gaze.
Alex was truly speechless. Did she want to watch him humiliate other people this badly?
Maya showed a pretty smile. âRoger Graham. If I remember correctly, you used to follow
Alex around and called him your boss.
You were so eager to please him. If he asked
you to head east, you wouldnât dare head west. Have you gotten bolder now? How
could you dare speak to him like this? Arenât you afraid something unfortunate might
happen to you?â she asked.
Roger was completely charmed by Mayaâs smile. âMaya, what you speak of happened
ages ago.
Now, everyone in California knows that Alex is a man who depends on
women for a living. He doesnât deserve to be my boss. He doesnât even deserve to call
me his boss,â he said.
âThis means youâre a traitor!â Maya snapped.
Roger was stunned. He felt his face burning up, and he was tremendously annoyed.
Meanwhile, Alex put his food down and looked at Roger. âCan you get lost now? Donât
disturb us while we eat!â
Roger, already enraged and embarrassed after Maya called him a traitor, slammed his
hand on the table. âAlex, are you living in your dreams? Think youâre still the same
person you were a year ago? Youâre a broke b*stard now, and you even need to rely on
your wife to live. How dare you speak to me like this?â Roger roared.
âI get to depend on my wife because Iâm capable of doing so. What does it have to do
with you anyway? Get lost!â retorted Alex.
Alex pushed Roger aside. âIf you keep annoying us, youâll regret it,â Alex said coldly.
Maya chuckled. âI thought youâd beat him up,â she said.
Alex took a sip at his beverage. âIâm not a barbarian. Hitting a traitor like him would only
make my hands dirty,â he said.
âWhat did you say?â Rogerâs face turned sullen.
âRockefeller, get out of here right now. Youâre not welcome here,â he added.
âOn what basis? Do you own this restaurant?â Alex asked.
Right then, a woman with thick makeup walked over. âI own this restaurant,â she said.
Alex looked up. âShayna Morrison? Is this your restaurant?â he asked in a surprised
tone.
It turned out that this woman was also his classmate from before.
Back in college, Shayna even pursued Alex! Unfortunately, her looks were too average
for Alexâs fancy.
For this reason, she had always held a grudge against him.
âThatâs right!â Shayna looked at Alex with a sarcastic smirk on her face.
âAlex, things are not the same as before. You are no longer the rich kid from the
Rockefeller family that you once were.
Mr. Graham is asking you to leave for your own
good. If your wife, Lady Dorothy Assex, finds out that you have a buffet with another
woman, sheâd stop feeding you. Thatâd be terrible! Thatâs why you should leave. I wonât
charge you this time,â Shayna added.
The intrigue flashing in Mayaâs eyes became even more apparent. It seemed she was
waiting for a show to happen.
âWhat if I donât leave? Shayna, this is your restaurant. You should be smarter than this.
If you kick out a customer like me for no reason, I can make a call to complain. Iâll even
publish a post online. Are you sure you can handle it?â Alex raised his brows and said.
Shayna instantly fell silent.
In the catering service industry, customers were like gods. Shayna really didnât dare to
take on the ensuing consequences.
Roger snorted coldly. âWhat are you afraid of, Shayna? I have you covered if anything
happens. Paradise Corp. will be your shield. If your brand is affected, Paradise Corp.
will turn your restaurant into our companyâs staff cafeteria,â he said.
When Shayna heard this, she immediately became emboldened. Turning around, she
called for security.
Meanwhile, Alex suddenly felt something touching his shin. Soon, he sensed that it was
someoneâs leg.
