Chapter 17 Who Exactly Is Alex Jefferson

The next day, Alex sent Stanley to kindergarten before heading to work. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Acquiring Four Seas Corporation was not the end; he still had to manage it well.

“Good morning, Mr. Jefferson!” When James, who was on duty, spotted Alex, he immediately straightened and saluted the latter with a serious expression.

After Alex demoted him, he had grown infuriated and wanted to switch over to Walt’s side yesterday. However, the Wallace family had been completely destroyed.

Alex was the first person who came to mind when he heard that Four Seas Corporation the one was behind it.

Hence, he had obediently returned to being a security guard.

Alex did not spare James a glance. Just as his electric scooter was about to come to a stop, a Maserati Executive GT collided with the rear of his electric scooter.

Fortunately, the driver stepped on the brakes in time, or he would have been run over.

Alex frowned slightly and checked his scooter. The electric scooter which had served him well for four years was now completely ruined.

“I guess I’ll have to get a new car.” Alex sighed softly.

He was a sentimental person. Thus, he had stayed loyal to his electric scooter even after so long.

Looking at the car that had crashed into him, Alex assumed that the driver was an amateur, so he did not plan to hold whoever it was accountable.

Unexpectedly, a gorgeous woman alighted the Maserati.

The moment she did, she attracted the attention of countless people who were passing by.

She was wearing a bodycon dress and high heels, which accentuated her sexy figure. A woman like her was the focus of attention no matter where she went.

“It’s the new rising star, Madison Zucker! She’s so pretty!”

“Yeah! I heard that she was cast as the female lead in the Flair of the City movie adaption.”

“As soon as the movie is released, she’ll no doubt become a hot topic again.”

The employees who had just arrived for work began chattering about it when they saw Madison.

Just then, a young woman in her thirties stepped down from the passenger seat with a crease between her brows.

Madison, who was very much enjoying being in the limelight, pointed angrily at Alex. She gave him a piece of her mind. “Hey, loser! Do you even know how to ride a scooter?”

Alex frowned and retorted coldly, “I should be the one asking you that. Can you even drive? Look at how your car is parked.”

Not only was the Maserati sixty degrees slanted, but its wheels were also completely out of the parking box.

“Who do you think you are to criticize my driving skills? Do you know who I am?” Madison’s embarrassment turned into annoyance.

She had only just obtained her driver’s license, so being judged by Alex in that manner made her immensely displeased.

“Who you are has nothing to do with me. I’m just wondering if you got your driver’s license through improper means because I doubt you could’ve passed with the way you drive,” Alex said sarcastically.

Madison was enraged. Not only did this loser not recognize a popular celebrity such as her, but he also even ridiculed her for using improper means to obtain her driver’s license. Her chest heaved with anger boiling in her.

“Be careful with what you say. Believe it or not, I can sue you for defamation.” The young woman beside her threatened Alex with an aggressive look on her face.

“Go ahead. I’ll wait to receive a court summons,” Alex scoffed.

“Which department are you from? What’s your name?” The young woman’s eyes flashed with viciousness. For her own peace of mind, she wanted to get rid of this loser through her connections.

“Yes. Just tell me which department you’re from and your name.” Madison grasped her manager’s intention and stood with her hands akimbo as she glared at Alex.

“His name is Alex Jefferson. He’s from the security department.” Someone next to them suddenly answered.

“So, you’re a security guard. Hmph! Get ready to pack up your things and leave by the end of the day!” Madison aimed a taunting look at Alex before getting into her car to readjust its position.

In response to Madison’s threat, Alex’s mouth lifted at the sides to form a sneer. Then, he parked his electric scooter and turned to head into the company building.

“Alex, isn’t your wife accompanying Mr. Wallace as we speak? How do you still have the mood to come in for work?” A front desk employee glanced at Alex with derision.

She was a fan of Madison’s. Hence, she found it preposterous when Alex did not apologize to her idol after offending her.

“Does a man who lives off his wife have a say in what she does with her life?”

“Even if he has balls of steel, he has no say in anything.”

“That’s why men like him should expect to get cheated on.”

The others burst into fits of laughter, completely disrespecting Alex.

Alex’s glanced at those people, his gaze turning frosty.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Suddenly, James rushed over and slapped those people across their faces with a fierce glint in his eyes. “How dare you make fun of Mr. Jefferson? You’re all courting death!”

“James, what the hell did you do that for? Do you think you’re still the manager of the security department?” The ones who had been hit were furious. Although they did not dare to retaliate against James, they were quite ferocious with their words.

“So what if I hit a bunch of brainless fools?” James growled angrily before raising his hand to slap them again.

There were those who wanted to strike back, but none of them were a match for James. Hence, they could only suck it up and allow themselves to be slapped by him.

Alex glanced at James and casually said, “Not bad. Call Jack and tell him to fire these people. Just say that the order came from me.”

Without looking at the other employees, he swiveled around and walked into the building.

“Have a good day, Mr. Jefferson!” James was euphoric upon receiving a compliment from him, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He had, in fact, acted on impulse earlier and was slightly worried that he had made a decision that would invoke the wrath of Alex.

However, he knew that he had made the right call now.

“W-W-What did you call him?” The others stared at James in wide-eyed disbelief.

James had actually called Alex in such a respectful manner. They were completely stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

James shot a cold glance at them and said, “What I did just now was actually for your own good. Otherwise, the lot of you would’ve suffered a fate worse than death. Look at what happened to the Wallace family. They’re in deep sh*t now all because they got on Mr. Jefferson’s bad side.”

“What? The Wallace family is done for?” The notion of this seemed extremely inconceivable to the others. The Wallace family was rather well-known in the Nebula City business industry. Just who in the world has the power and influence to take them out?

“Hmph! You can check it out on the internet so that you’ll understand the consequences of crossing Mr. Jefferson,” James spat.

They took out their phones, doing as he had suggested when their expressions suddenly took a drastic change.

“The… the Wallace family was destroyed by Mr. Jefferson?” One of the female employees asked in a shaky voice.

“What do you think?” James challenged.

Then, he fished out his own phone and scrolled through his contacts to call Jack.

“President Sawyer, Mr. Jefferson said to inform you to fire Josie Wright from the front desk, Diana Cook and Zeke Hoding from the Project Management Department, and lastly Sophie Gardner from the Public Relations Department.”

“I’m guessing that these four people have offended Mr. Jefferson?” Jack’s voice came from the other end.

“Yes. They disrespected Mr. Jefferson earlier and made him very angry,” James answered truthfully.

“Alright. I’ll immediately send them packing.” With that, Jack ended the call.

James had his phone on speaker. Hence, the employees were shocked when they heard what Jack said. Regret clawed at their chests.

They never expected Alex to be so influential, seeing as he was a mere security guard.

Since when was he held in such high esteem?

“Mr. Langdon, who exactly is Alex Jefferson?” Sophie blurted out, unable to accept how things had taken such a huge turn.

“Someone even President Sawyer can’t afford to offend!”

James shot the four of them hostile glances before returning to his post.

Sophie’s face blanched in horror, still unable to wrap her mind around it.

Meanwhile, Madison had just parked her car, and she was walking into the company building with her manager in tow.

“Madison, we’ll be meeting the new chairman later, so you must be on your best behavior. If you can win his favor, all the female lead roles for the entire year will be yours. I’m certain of it!” Her manager whispered to her.

Madison nodded solemnly and replied, “Don’t worry, Felicia. I’ll seize all three major female lead roles this year. The title of the best actress will be mine and only mine!”

“Good. I’ve already discussed it with President Sawyer. He said he’ll make the necessary arrangements for us. Let’s go.” Felicia nodded in satisfaction and led Madison towards the elevators.
