Alex Rockefeller was stunned for a moment. He immediately grabbed the journal away from Anna Coleman.However, the first thing that came into sight was a picture.It was a picture of himself and Hayley Hanson.At the time, he had sprawled all over the desk in class while he napped. Hayley moved her head close and used her phone to take a selfie of the two of them. When Alex saw this, he couldn’t even recall when she had taken this photo. She even printed it out.In fact, there were a few words behind the photo. “Me and pig-head!”When Alex looked at the journal again, he felt even more mixed emotions.Hayley had started writing this journal when they entered the third year of senior high. Every journal entry she wrote included the word “pig-head.” If there wasn’t a photo as proof, and if Alex had seen the journal on its own, he wouldn’t even know what “pig-head” represented.Anna looked at Alex with a strange expression. “Master, it turns out that she’s not just the classmate wh
When Alex Rockefeller turned around, he discovered that Maya Howards had also come down.Maya could feel what Alex was feeling. She walked over and pulled him into her arms. “If you feel like crying, go ahead! I know how much harder it is to forget your first love, not to mention bidding farewell under such circumstances.”At first, Alex felt heartbroken. However, after being gently approached by Maya like this, and smelling her strong fragrance, all his emotions from before disappeared. “I don’t want to cry! She isn’t exactly my first love. It ended before it even began,” Alex said.But was this what he really thought?Comparing Hayley Hanson and Lady Dorothy Assex, who was more important to him?Alex actually didn’t have an answer!“I didn’t think Papa’s daughter would be your first love,” Maya said.“Let’s go! She’s been affected by the Blood Curse. However, I know nothing about this kind of curse. If we want to rescue her, we must start with the Blood Cult! Unfortunately, th
“Documents?”“What documents? Do you mean the documents in this document holder?”A few of the shareholders came to their senses. They quickly opened the document holder in front of them and took out pieces of paper from within. After fixing their eyes on the documents, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.This was indeed similar to what happened to Paige Rockefeller.These documents contained all the records of bribery involving these shareholders during their time in the company. There was solid proof of all their wrongdoings. Apart from that, there were also records of crimes they had committed in the last ten years.For example, there was the shareholder who complained the most, Leslie Wolvendom.Although he wasn’t involved in many bribery cases, he molested a few young girls using lowly means three years ago. There was solid evidence of those incidents, and on top of that, he even hired someone to break another person’s legs and threatened the victim’s fam
He would always bring Winniefred to walk around the area.The little girl was a big foodie. She would eat everything, everywhere. Her mouth just wouldn’t seem to stop eating. She would usually just stand still and drool, especially after she noticed any ice cream stall.“After having ice cream, you have to go to school tomorrow, alright?” Alex gave her a lecture. Waltz had arranged for her to attend the best kindergarten in California owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate.However, the little girl would keep clinging to Alex, even during sleep.Last night, she even had an idea of having Alex, herself, and Zella sleep on the same bed. “Other little kids have their parents sleep next to them. But Winnie never got to. Now that I have Papa, why can’t I sleep with Papa and Mama then?” she said.This made Alex and Zella behave extremely awkwardly with each other.Not wanting to crush the little girl’s hope, Alex slept on Winniefred’s right.However, he didn’t expect to fall asleep
Alex was very much annoyed.All he wanted to do was bring Winnie out to have a good time, get her some ice cream and bribe her so she’d go to school obediently. He really didn’t expect to bump into some professional kidnappers.More importantly, they even tried to accuse him of carrying out such foul actions.“Do I really look like some weakling to the point that I can’t protect a little kid?” He mumbled to himself.Alex continued to hold onto the hood of the van. Hence, no matter how hard the driver stepped on the gas, the van just wouldn’t budge.The driver was sweating cold bullets at this rate, never having seen or heard anyone achieving such strength. ‘Is this man even human? He can stop a whole van with one hand!’“Madame Wealth, that man is blocking our car. What do we do?”Madame Wealth was the woman holding Winniefred in the backseat.She glared at the driver. “What to do? Do you not know that you could just run the guy over?”Droplets of cold sweat dripped down the d
However, some seemed to understand the situation more clearly than others. “Wait, that’s not right! Shouldn’t kidnappers run away after a failed abduction? Why would they go as far as to provoke the entire family just to get that kid?”Someone in the crowd spoke up. “Kidnapper? No! That’s the kid’s father! The people he killed are the actual kidnappers! They just thought that the little girl was pretty so they tried to kidnap her! I saw everything, and I even had it recorded! Those kidnappers deserve to die! Good kill, mister! You did well!”“What?”“He’s the girl’s father?”Just then, many noticed Alex pulling the van door open. He snatched Winniefred out of the woman’s arms.The woman, on the other hand, seemed to have lost all ability to move. Alex had many ways to achieve this, after all.“Papa! Papa!” Winniefred started crying hysterically the moment she landed in his arms, referring to Alex as ‘Papa.’ This incident had really traumatized her. She thought they were up agai
When Sky said that, Alex noticed the sheer helplessness in his eyes. He looked as if he was about to cry.‘I guess it’s only reasonable.’‘Old lady… I’m guessing it’s Soraya’s grandmother, Lexia. She’s considered an extremely important figure in the family, considering she’s one of the president’s wives.’ ‘As one of the team leaders in Divine Constabulary, it was only normal for Sky to be extra careful with her.’‘The lady is quite old. If anything were to happen to her in his home, or if she just died right there and then, he would be in big trouble.’“Did she come alone? And just moved into your place?” Alex asked.“Alone? There were eight of them! All women! How could I handle all of that?” Sky started complaining. “I can’t even go home now. When I do, I’d be scared for my life, scared that something might happen to any of them.”After hearing this, Alex almost snorted in laughter.“Why didn’t they come look for me instead?” Alex asked with a smile.Sky replied. “You and y
Lexia took a glance at Alex and nodded towards Shaun. “He really is the president’s grandchild.”“Ah...” “What? He’s really his grandchild? How is that possible?”All of them widened their eyes. They just couldn’t believe it.Stephanie, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to find her daughter at all. In a panic, she asked, “Shaun, where’s my daughter? Where is she?”With that, Shaun fell silent. After two seconds, he pointed toward Alex. “Him! He was the one who did some kind of trick in this area and killed Soraya!”“What?” exclaimed the women in the Melvis family.Stephanie glared at Alex furiously. “You… you’ve crossed the line! Soraya is your cousin, for God’s sake! How could you have killed her? Bring my daughter back! I’ll kill you off myself! A soul for a soul!”Stephanie went hysteric and punched Alex mindlessly.However, there was just no way that she could possibly hit Alex.“Stop panicking!” Alex grabbed Stephanie by the wrists. “You believe him just because he said
