Claire found it bemusing and utterly unbelievable.On one side was a rich heir as well as young director of a company with a net worth of tens of billions of fortunes, while on the other side was a good-for-nothing trash who had to live off his wife’s money for survival. Reasonably, should not the trash be the one to kneel down before the rich heir for an apology? How did it become the other way round?Just what had Alex done?Beatrice, who just came out of the manor, saw the scene and immediately cried out, “My good brother-in-law, why are you on your knees? What qualification does this trash have to have you kneel? Stand up, quickly stand up! Did the Rockefeller coerce you into doing this? Don’t worry, my mom and I will always have your back.”After hearing how Beatrice addressed him, Felix was scared senseless as his heart raced widely.Earlier, Felix and Edgar left. After returning home, only then did Edgar let out a sigh and told him what happened at Urasawa Restaurant and al
Smack! Smack!Alex did not go easy on Felix, and landed three heavy lashes on his back.Three lash wounds immediately surfaced on Felix’s back, and blood began seeping out from some of the wounds.Then, Alex threw the sprig away and said, “Get up, remember what you said today.”Words of gratitude came out of Felix’s mouth as he got up on his feet. He even took out a little gift box and handed it to Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, thank you so much for the three lashes. I will always remember your teachings. Here’s a little gift for you as a token of appreciation! Mr. Rockefeller, sorry for the bother and I’ll be leaving! May you both live a long and happy life together.”After handing over the gift box to Alex, he turned around and left.Looking at Felix’s disappearing silhouette, Alex secretly thought, “He is a smart guy after all! Well, good for him, I will leave the Shepherds alone for now.”Felix was nowhere to be seen but Claire and Beatrice were still in a state of confusion. Even
The stunning beauty in question was Waltz Fleur.At the moment, while lying in bed with a massive duvet wrapped around her body leaving only her head exposed and silky hair scattered, Waltz winked at Alex, who was walking in, with a sweet smile.Alex made sure that his mother was asleep before hurriedly shutting the door and said, in a lowered voice, “Why are you here?”“I am working!” Waltz replied with a faint smile.“Work?” Alex was confused.“Warming your bed! I’m your bed-warming servant, isn’t it?”“...” Alex’s heart fluttered immediately, but he soon felt a headache due to the obstinate situation. Before he left the house previously, he was caught red-handed by Brittany and he had yet to make any explanation. If she saw them now, he would be in deep trouble and would not be able to convince her of his innocence!“Warm your own bed! Get out of my room.”Alex grabbed the duvet and was just about to flip it open.However, Waltz held onto it tightly and said coyly, “Don
Before Alex could get mad, Waltz opened the door. “I will be leaving now. I’ll come tomorrow after gathering the ingredients.”Alex breathed a sigh of relief after Waltz’s departure.He seemed relaxed, but also a little rueful.“That... witch!” After getting teased by Waltz multiple times, Alex was at his limit. He quickly ran into the bathroom and took a cold shower.Waltz was actually a few years older than Alex. Being a carefree mature belle, a fighter and coupled with the fact that she was a powerful chieftain in the underworld, it was no surprise to see her to be a little more touchy-feely with others.Away from Alex’s residence, Waltz felt slightly flustered as she touched her face. It was her first time teasing a man like that.However, when she recalled Alex’s reaction when she flipped open the duvet, she could not help feeling amused and muttered, “I should have stripped then.”Back at Hell’s Angels, Waltz, who was unable to suppress her excitement at the transcendenc
After taking a bath, Alex sat on his bed.In his hands was a gift box of unknown content, given by Felix Shepherd, which he did not open just yet.“Could it be a watch?” Alex muttered to himself. He was not interested in watches at all as he found them cumbersome to be worn.As he opened the box, a green flash greeted his eyes.It was not a watch but a piece of lush green emerald.Born into a wealthy family, he was no stranger to luxurious gemstones. At a glance, the particular piece, sculptured into the form of a unicorn, looked extremely expensive and was as big as a child’s fist.Holding the emerald sculpture in his hand, he felt a comfortable sensation.In the next second, he was startled as he felt a stream of energy radiating from within the emerald.“What is this? Could it be… the essence?” The Ultimate Book of Medicine was an all-encompassing approach to the cultivation of medical martial arts. It also described that the Force could be enhanced by absorbing the essenc
Lastly, she said with a smug face, “My daughter is really fortunate for having such an amazing and capable husband. She’s just destined to live a rich life, unlike your Dorothy, she’s pretty but she found a useless trash who only lives off her. What is the point of it? You can only blame her for having poor taste in marrying such a man and living a hard and impoverished life. So, make sure your Dorothy has better taste in men in the future.”Claire was bridled with anger and wanted to hit her really hard.Even though she hated Alex, to the extent that she hoped that he would divorce Dorothy as soon as possible, her dignity was at stake now.Taking out immediately the twenty-million-dollar check from her purse, she said, “Who lives an impoverished life? What’s so good about two hundred thousand dollars? Gah! Look at what my son-in-law got me, a twenty-million-dollar check! Have you ever seen twenty million dollars? Two hundred thousand is all that’s needed to get you high and mighty?
“What? Mom, say clearly. You were involved in a car accident? How are you, are you hurt?” Dorothy’s heart raced wildly as she answered Claire’s phone call.Claire replied stammeringly, “Well, uh, I am fine, but, uh, I … crashed into a Rolls-Royce owned by the Yowell family.”“A Rolls-Royce? Good lord!” Dorothy cried out.Claire said, “Come quick, my good daughter. I know you have a lot of cash on you. Get that ungrateful Alex to come over too, the owner is quite fierce.”Since Alex was the only male in the family, naturally he was the first person that came to her mind in situations like this.Alex was also shocked after receiving the news from Dorothy.They arrived at the crash site, almost at the same time, half an hour later.Seeing Claire, who was hardly recognizable, sitting on the floor with a swollen face and a bleeding nose, Dorothy cried as she rushed forward, “Mom, Mom! Are you okay?”Alex frowned.At first, he was a little delighted in Claire’s suffering, after all,
Alex gently raised his left hand and immediately intercepted the kick. He drew closer to the man as his body moved away from the kick.The man instinctively shivered in shock. “He is fast, how did he do it?”In the next second, his face was engulfed by Alex’s right hand and being pressed to the back. Crash!The man’s head was slammed into the window of the Rolls-Royce.The crowd watched the scene, with their mouths agape in astonishment.The kind old man, who gave his advice earlier, nearly had his eyes popped out of his head as he saw the scene.Then, Alex grabbed the man’s head and drove it down the window again. In fact, it was a smash.Bang! Bang! Bang!He consecutively did it three more times until the Rolls-Royce’s windows were shattered and the man’s head was bloodied and badly bruised, then only did he stop. He said with a cold expression, “She is my wife. How dare you make my wife cry, do you know how big of a sin you have committed?”The crowd wailed, bereft of spe
