“Uhm…”Alex was taken aback. He didn’t expect Lavender to know this BMW guy.‘Cedar? Sounds like they’re siblings.’Cedar started panicking. “Sis, uhm, well, I… my car broke down, so I’m using your car for now.” He said as he kept signalling Lavender with his eyes.He had just got together with Charis after all, he wanted to show off in front of her!However, Lavender did not pick up any of his signals and said, “Your motorcycle is broken? Then get it fixed! Don’t you know that my car is off-limits for today? Oh, and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller now.”Charis’ expression darkened. Cedar’s BMW wasn’t his own, he only owned a motorcycle all along.A motorcycle is nothing compared to Nicholas’ secondhand Volkswagen!Cedar pointed at Alex and asked, “Why should I apologize to him? He doesn’t deserve it! He’s just a mere slave. I’d rather apologize to a dog!”Suddenly, a loud slap landed on Cedar’s face. Lavender had slapped him hard and yelled, “You bastard! How dare you speak of M

Charis scoffed. “You’re joking, right? Him? Any random stranger on the streets would be a better option than he ever will be!” She then kicked the Volkswagen which was parked at the side. It was Nicholas’s car.“Look at this, who the f*ck still drives a car like this? Only poor f*cks like him would!”Alex nodded. “You’re right, Nicholas deserves a much better car than this, it’s just way out of his league. That’s why a brand new BMW M8 is on its way. Now that’s what Nicholas truly deserves.”“He deserves a BMW M8? What a joke!”Fifteen minutes later, Chloe drove the car over to Alex’s location.Charis’s eyes widened upon seeing the BMW M8.Alex handed Nicholas the keys and said, “This car is now yours.”Nicholas was close to descending into a mental breakdown at the time. However, he was shocked as he received the keys. “Alex, you’re joking right? For me? Why would someone like me deserve to own a luxurious car like this?”“You can as long as I say so. Now take it or I’ll sma

“Why would I be against that? I welcome you too!” Alex smiled immediately.Brittany rolled her eyes. “That’s more I like it.”She then greeted Nicholas and Chloe, who followed behind Alex. “Nicholas, you came by too. Oh, what a beautiful girl. Is she your girlfriend?”Nicholas shook his head and denied. “No, no, Mrs. Rockefeller. She’s Alex’s friend.”Alex said, “Mom, let me introduce you to her. This is Chloe Zea. I recruited her as an employee for your company. She’s an amazing saleswoman, hard working too. Most importantly, she’s a very nice person.”Brittany smiled brightly as she led Chloe to the table, asking her to take a seat.Maya smiled as well. “Mom, dessert is almost ready, I’ll serve it now!” Alex spat out the tea that he had just started drinking. “What did you call her?”Maya lifted her gaze. “Your mom is my mom from now on.”She then wore a pair of slippers and walked into the kitchen.Alex froze. Brittany smiled and didn’t explain either. He chased after May

“Well, you are silly! Alright, you serve it. You have pretty rough skin, so you won’t get burnt.”“Yeah, yeah, I’m just an ox, I won’t be fazed by the hot temperature.”Alex picked up the plate and walked out of the kitchen. He could hear Maya’s light chuckles behind him. But, he didn’t hear her mumble to herself later on. “This is fine. I’m happy that I get to see you every day like this.”After dessert, Brittany, Maya, Chloe and Nicholas started discussing about the new company.Alex could tell that Maya didn’t just resign to accompany Brittany, she wanted to help her out in the new company as well. Yet again, there’s a possibility that Brittany was the one who invited Maya along.Alex wasn’t interested in the business field, hence he made up an excuse to do some research on the Yowells’ Slunce Jauda. It was still flawed after all.Half an hour of researching later, Alex clenched a piece of cloth into his hand and activated his Chi.As he released his grip, the cloth had turne

“What? Died?“How did he die?” Alex was extremely shocked. He almost jumped out of his seat.The truck driver, Anthony Pattingson was the most important lead to the truth about the accident. If he died, then that would mean they had lost their lead.“I went there just to confirm it. They said that he tried escaping and ended up electrocuting himself. His whole body was charred, I even have photos of his corpse. Would you like to see?”Alex nodded.Waltz then scrolled through her phone to find the picture. The corpse really was charred black, it was almost impossible to recognize him.“That’s not right.” Alex shook his head.“Not right?” Waltz turned to Alex. “Is this not Anthony Pattingson?”“No, it is him, but the cause of death isn’t electrocution.”Others would not be able to notice if Anthony had been electrocuted or murdered. However, Alex was not like the average person—he was equipped with the ultimate knowledge of medicine. Just by looking at the picture, he could tell

Alex signalled towards downstairs, and Waltz immediately caught on to his message.The Rockefellers were on edge after all. Who knows when they’re going to send over hitmen again? Alex needed to make sure that Brittany was absolutely safe before leaving. Comment by Melisa Chan: not sure if this should be past or present?Due to Claire’s incident, Alex had to rush out this morning as well, leaving Brittany alone at home. This had already made him quite uneasy. And with Anthony’s death, he couldn’t bring himself to turn a blind eye to it.“I’ll make another call.” Waltz smiled.This time, Waltz called Azure.“Alright, Azure would be here in a bit. He’s bringing a few of our men to protect this place too.”Alex furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t cause too much of a ruckus. My mom might not like that I’m in contact with people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.”Waltz turned around and glared at him. “What’s wrong with Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Are you looking down on us?”Alex deci

“What?” “This one is missing a leg! It won’t even stand upright, what use could it be?” Waltz spoke up, visibly confused.Alex’s eyes lit up and replied calmly, “It’s the heaviest.”Waltz was speechless. “I guess we’re buying the scrap metal then. Hey, Tobias, my brother wants the shabbiest one. What’s your price? Weigh it and get this over with.”Alex smiled without saying a word, he was extremely excited.The shabby alchemy stove may be missing a leg, but it was the best out of the three. He could feel a slight flow of energy within the stove. This indicates that this shabby stove could be a mystical object.Tobias smiled. “Ms. Fleur, if your brother likes it, he can just take it, I won’t ask for money! This thing was a waste of space anyway. I would’ve thrown it out if the base wasn’t still intact.”“Okay, I’ll be taking it then.”The stove wasn’t big, yet it was quite heavy.However, such weight was nothing to Alex.Just as they were leaving the store, someone barged in

She was wearing an expensive Chanel outfit, paired with an LV purse as well. She looked just like any other rich lady. She was clinging to a man, though the man was no longer the one he saw the last time. Instead, this time he was a greasy old man in his 40s.However, this was quite normal for Chloe—she could move on from one man to another with great speed.Just then, Chloe noticed Alex as well.Startled, she immediately put on a smug face and glared at him angrily.She had been slapped multiple times back in L.G. Balfour and put the blame on Alex completely. She later heard that Alex was only able to buy jewellery due to Thousand Miles Conglomerate owing a favor to his father. He was still the loser that relied on the Assexes after all.Why would she be scared of him now, then?She immediately said out loud, “Alex, why are you here? You useless loser of a sissy! Are you trying to get yourself a cheap deal? Can you even afford them?”Alex was expressionless. “What concern is th
