Alexander Gray hadn't always had what he would consider a 'good' life. At thirty-one years old, he had already been through many difficulties and hurdles to have learned most of his life lessons, and the greatest one was that he could never let anyone trample on his pride, no matter what.

Before the old wife of his father had passed away, neither Alexander nor his mother had dared to show their faces in public, let alone admit his true identity. It was only when he turned twenty and his own mother became the official 'Mrs. Gray' that Alexander was able to wield real power in his hand.

Gone were the days of not being able to even name his own father, and barely being able to afford a car with his monthly allowance. He could finally be the young master of the Gray Wolfe, and enjoy the glory he deserved!

But only a few years later, even after everything he had been through, there were still some vermin who dared to eye his rightful inheritance. Of course, Alexander had no doubt that he would be able to crush both of these so-called 'siblings', even if they stuck together to oppose him.

However, it didn't change the fact that they dared to look down on him, thinking they could take away his position as the true heir of the Gray Wolfe. The thing he hated the most in the world was when people looked down on him.

Such people… he would crush with his own hands.

Whether it was those ignorant fools who dared to try grabbing his position, or this foolish little bitch who dared to ignore his invitation… he would teach them all the cost of looking down on Alexander Gray.

Unaware of the dark thoughts of his 'bro', the blonde boy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his friend didn't continue insisting on 'acquiring' the girl he wanted. 'Well, no matter how prideful big bro usually is, he's not an idiot, after all.'

In the beginning, Jake really hadn't expected to have much trouble when he first hired a private detective to look into the crimson-haired beauty's origins.

After all, the restaurant they had been dining in required registration to get a table, and the little beauty didn't seem like someone people would easily be able to forget. Therefore, as long as they had her name, it should have been easy as pie to get all the details they needed to know.

Unfortunately, within minutes of sending a request forward, the private detective he had hired not only gave him a 'detailed report', but also informed him that looking into the matter further would be impossible.

Of course, Jake had no idea that he had been sold out even before he received this so-called detailed report.

While he was flabbergasted at first, Jake soon realized the reason why this happened. Who could have expected that the little beauty they had stumbled into by chance would turn out to be the most favored young princess of the White Deer Corporation?!

Although Jake didn't often follow the news, he had still ended up seeing her face in one of the interviews. He hadn't paid her much attention at that time, only thinking that the little girl was really quite beautiful, but it had nothing to do with him.

However, he now realized that the girl's appearance on TV at that time didn't do her any justice at all.

Maybe the schoolgirl look really suppressed her beauty, and it was only when she dressed in professional clothes that her true charm was displayed. Or maybe it was only in person that one could observe the true beauty of this little pearl.

Whatever the reason was, Jake couldn't deny that the thought of one day possessing the beauty for himself had deeply taken root in his heart, and turned into obsession long before he had even left the restaurant that day.

Regretfully, however, Jake realized that the gem he had discovered was forever bound to be out of his reach. After all, not to mention himself, the blonde boy knew that even his big bro Alex stood no chance at all when it came to courting Emilia White.

Compared to their Callahoun's… no, could their little company even be compared to the White Deer Corporation? It was like comparing a children's squirt gun to an intercontinental ballistic missile!

Who knows, maybe even their annual turnover wouldn't be enough to pay for some of the higher ranking employees at White Deer.

Thankfully, the little beauty had been quite meek and shy, and didn't seem like the prideful type who would hold a grudge and exact vengeance, or the two of them would really be doomed.

Seeing his ever stubborn friend's continued silence as he went through the 'report', which was basically just the general information everyone knew about Emilia White, Jake couldn't help but go over to pat his shoulder in consolation. "It's okay, big bro. There's plenty of fish in the sea, after all. I'm sure the next beauty we catch will be even prettier."

Alexander finally snapped out of his thoughts, but the sneer on his cold face only deepened. "What, you think I'm not good enough?"

Jake immediately waved his hands in panic. "No no, big bro, how can I think like that?! If anything, you're way too good for anyone! Without good starting capital, which man your age is able to rise so quickly in today's market? It's already too much for me to not admire you for a moment, how could I dare look down on you?!"

Obviously, Jake was more or less able to feel that 'looking down on him' was a great taboo in his friend's heart, and that he had to avoid it like a plague. But he also had no idea that Alexander was the 'heir' to the Gray Wolfe Corporation, or that most of the investors he had 'attracted' were actually sent by the man's father.
