Everyone in the living room kept their mouths shut when the lady of the house spoke in a powerful and commanding tone, well except for Alex.

"What kind of manners have you taught your daughter all these years? She's getting more out of hand day by day," Margaret harshly stated, throwing a look of displeasure at her son and daughter-in-law.

Caroline felt as if she were being mocked underhandedly by the old woman. She was badly irked but still maintained her poise and grace.

"Alex rarely comes back to this house, yet this is how you welcome him and his wife? Our family has never been this impolite!"

Margaret scolded them sternly. Nobody dared to make a sound.

"George, escort the young lady back to her room. She will be grounded for a month and is not allowed to leave. Let her reflect on her mistakes," Margaret instructed her personal butler in an authoritative voice.

Eve silently twitched her face. That seemed a bit too much for a punishment. She honestly admired the fierceness of the e

  • Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO    Chapter 31- Betrothal gifts

    "I'M REALLY curious how an uncouth woman like you successfully seduced a shrewd man like Alex."A while after their family dinner, Alex was summoned by his father to the study room, while Matthew's family had already left. Only Eve and Alex remained, as per the old lady's request for them to stay a little longer.Eve had been accompanying the elderly after lunch, but she excused herself for a moment and headed to the bathroom. She didn’t expect to be obstructed by someone in the hallway. Margaret had already introduced this woman to her earlier, and the old lady told her that Hailee and her parents were good friends of their family, which was why she wasn’t treated as an outsider in the house. She also didn’t hide the truth that they had chosen Hailee to be betrothed to Alex if not for the fact that he was already married to Eve.Maybe this was the reason why Eve loathed her so much. Ever since she set foot inside the house, Hailee's gaze toward her had been full of malice and hatred.

    "I DON'T agree with your marriage to that woman!"Edward's growl echoed in the large study. This kind of meeting was very typical for them. It would be truly boring if there wasn't some clash during their encounters. Father and son were truly fighting each other to the death!But Alex did not take him seriously. He calmly sat on the couch, unfazed, with a blank expression on his handsome face. Despite their heated argument, he was very nonchalant and maintained his indifferent demeanor."You are not in a position to tell me what to do," Alex responded in a cold tone with a straight face.His father became even more furious at his statement. Edward almost spat out his blood in so much anger."I am your father!" Edward growled again."You've only donated some of your sperm, and now you're calling yourself my father? Do you even deserve it?" Alex mocked him. Though his voice was low, there was a quiet storm brewing beneath his sharp words. His body was emanating an endless coldness at th

    Alex had to return to the company after bringing Eve back to Autumn Garden. An urgent meeting with the board of directors required his attention, and by the time he returned home, it was already eight in the evening.Upon his arrival, he immediately inquired about Eve’s whereabouts. Butler Clark informed him that she had already had dinner. With that assurance, Alex had a quick meal himself before heading upstairs.When he entered their bedroom, he found it empty. Taking off his coat, he instinctively walked toward the balcony.There she was.She was lying quietly on the long, inclined padded couch near the glass railing, hugging a small pillow while gazing up at the starry night sky. The soft glow of the moon cast a gentle light on her delicate features, making her look even more ethereal.Noticing his presence, she quickly adjusted her position and sat upright."Why are you still outside? It’s getting cold," he said, picking up a woven blanket and draping it over her shoulders."I’m

    SUMMER break was over. Eve's mother was finally discharged from the hospital to continue recuperating at home, and she would be starting her internship too. They finally got the heads-up from the university. Their internship would be in the biggest conglomerate in Summerville, which was none other than the Galaxy Empire Group.Today was the first day of her internship. She was clad in a royal blue corporate dress suit, looking smart and sexy. Her sharp and elegant demeanor was greatly emphasized by her outfit. She added delicate makeup to her exquisite face and just let her wavy hair hang down.When she came down, Alex was waiting for her in the living room. Noticing her arrival, he immediately stood up and went to her with a lingering stare. Her cheeks felt hot when she recalled the passionate night they had shared two days ago. It was so intense that her private part was still sore. After that night, she had been bedridden

    "Mr. Harris please spare me. I really didn't knew the reason behind Mr. Flemings withdrawal." The senior manager of Amber Holdings was kneeling infront of the CEO's desk. His look was terribly horrified because once his falsity will be exposed he's finished not just his career but also his entire life. Alex who was calmly sitting on his executive chair had an indifferent and icy look at the manager who was kneeling on the floor with a nervous look. "The information of our investors is strictly confidential and you, as the operation manager on that company clearly knew it's internal affairs. Do you take me as a fool?" Alex growled in a lower but chilly voice. The room was slowly turning into an ice cave. " M-Mr. Harris i really d-don't know! " The manager exclaimed nervously while stammering. Alex threw a stack of photos infront of him. It was a perfect shot from him being bribed by Jaxon's assistant and there was even a ban

    During lunch break, Eve and Kelly met up and headed toward the company cafeteria to have their lunch. Actually, Alex told her to wait for him so they could eat outside, but she insisted on having lunch in the corporate cafeteria. Matthew also joined them, and the three occupied a three-seater table. Almost all the employees in the company ate in the cafeteria, making the whole place really crowded."Ladies, here comes your food. I also added your favorite dishes," Matthew said, arriving at their table with a large tray. Being a gentleman, he had volunteered to get the food for them."Ahh, finally! I can now eat. My head hurts from cracking codes all morning! I feel so hungry right now," Kelly grumbled, helping set the food on the table."Evie, I got your favorite mashed potatoes with cheese," Matthew said, handing her a small bowl."Wow, thanks!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining as she accepted the bowl. Mashed potatoes were truly her favorite."How's your work in the CEO's office?"

    “She has mild gastritis, which is why she had a severe stomach ache caused by excessive intake of spicy food. Please be more careful with her diet. Her immunity isn’t very strong,” the doctor stated after conducting a brief check-up on Eve.“But she’s fine now and can be discharged after finishing her drip. I shall take my leave now, Mr. Harris,” the doctor respectfully bowed before leaving the room.Eve was leaning against the head of the bed. Her face, which had been very pale earlier, had now regained some color. The discomfort in her stomach had eased, though she still felt a bit weak. The unbearable pain had tortured her so much that she almost fainted on the way to the hospital. She had clutched Alex’s suit tightly throughout the journey, and fortunately, she endured it.Matthew and Kelly, who had followed them all the way, had also left after confirming that she was finally okay. It was their first day of internship—skipping work wasn’t a good idea.“How do you feel now?” Alex

    At noon, Butler Clark delivered their lunch. And guess what...? The CEO's office also had a big break room with a comfy bed, a cozy dining area, a spacious bathroom, and even a closet where Alex’s garments were neatly placed. She was dumbstruck to find such a place in a CEO’s office."Butler Clark, did Alex live here in the past? Why does he have so many things in this place?"She curiously asked the butler while they were busy arranging the food on the dining table. She insisted on helping him while waiting for Alex, who was still in a video conference call just outside in his office."Yes, young mistress. Though young master has many villas, he often stayed here or in his hotel because it is more convenient for him," Clark answered thoughtfully."That’s weird."Just as they finished setting the table, Alex walked in and proceeded to wash his hands in the sink."Young master, young mistress, please enjoy your meal," Butler Clark bowed before leaving the room."Clark brought too much
