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
It was normal for someone like Chloe to not recognize Waltz.Besides, Ryan, who claims that he’s the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate didn’t recognize her as well. Waltz was Lex’s goddaughter after all—Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate—hence, only the core members in Hell’s Angels were able to meet Waltz.Ryan, on the other hand, was just one of the insignificant managers within Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s many companies.Tobias was fully aware of Waltz’s identity.However, he didn’t want to speak up. No one would listen to a chubby man like him anyway. Thus, he just stood silently in the crowd, watching Chloe dig her own grave. He couldn’t help but put on a cold smirk—he knew he was in for a good show.‘This is so exciting!’Waltz was furious as she took five steps forward.However, the crowd was oblivious to Waltz’s identity as well. Under Chloe’s influence, they foolishly insulted Waltz...“I really didn’t expect this gorgeous girl to be working in a nigh
The leader approached them and stared at Ryan.Ryan, on the other hand, had already prepared his worker tag for identification. The leader of the group yelled, “So who was the one with the balls to break our fellow manager’s leg? Own up to it now and I’ll just break one of yours. If not, you’ll have to bear further consequences.”Chloe couldn’t hold in her anger anymore. She pointed at Waltz. “It was her, that b*tch of a prostitute! She broke my husband’s leg and knocked my teeth out! Beat her up now! Lock her up in a cage! Humiliate her in public! Just do something!”The group of men looked towards Waltz and were stunned.“Ms…”“It was me,” Waltz said dismissively without even lifting her gaze.The leader was sweating cold bullets.Ryan may not recognize Waltz. But, the leader was one of the members in the underground association. How could he not recognize her?‘This was truly a big mistake on Ryan’s end due to his unfamiliarity with Waltz… No, his wife called Princess Fleur
Waltz disliked being put in the spotlight in such a way. She pulled Alex to the side. “Let’s go, Brother! I heard stone gambling is highly risky. And to be honest, you don’t need any more money. What’s so great about this anyway? Let’s just get those pills done!”‘Pills?’ Taken out of context, many people misunderstood her words.Everyone stared at the two puzzledly. Could it be that Princess Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate was that type of person?However, no one dared to speak up against her.Alex shook his head. “I’d like to buy some for fun.”Waltz waved dismissively. “Fine, have some fun then. Which one would you like? I’ll get it for you.”‘Tsk tsk, just look at her, isn’t she just wife material?’The men in the area took glances at Alex—they were extremely jealous of him.Apart from Waltz’s status, her appearance was just ethereal compared to most women. As someone who was able to win Waltz’s heart over, they figured that Alex must be of high status and quite re
Waltz was infuriated. Even the crowd gathered up their courage to start gossiping about them upon Dickinson’s appearance...“Mr. Will kept this ore here for more than a year but no one wanted to buy it.”“Just look at it, it’s so dull. How could it be in the green? Anyone with any gambling experience would know that that’s just a useless rock. Only those who are inexperienced would think otherwise.”“As Princess Fleur’s brother, you’d think he'd know better. Who is this guy anyway?”Waltz glared at Alex as she heard the insults, clearly frustrated and annoyed. Alex turned to Dickinson and said calmly, “If there really was a jade within this rock, what would you do?”Dickinson cackled. “If this cesspool rock does have a jade in it, I’ll eat this rock up.”“Okay then, you promised.”Suddenly, Alex remembered that Charis had said something similar before. He didn’t really hold a grudge against her and let her off easy… However, this guy was another case.“Excuse me, cut it open
Dickinson wasn’t the only one who was appalled.Everyone in the crowd had widened eyes and mouths agape. They were pushing against each other, trying to peek at the stone as much as they could.Some even took out their phones to take pictures—they wanted to post about it on their social media pages. This was a once in a lifetime experience.As for the store owner, Mr. Will, he was turning green as soon as he saw the emerald in the ore. Even just from its slightly exposed surface, he could see it’s magnificent glow and vibrant color. This was an exceptionally rare piece. Based on its market value, it could be sold for more than 100 million.This was 100 million that they were talking about!He had stored this ore for more than a year, yet he didn’t realize its value at all. He regretted his decision immensely.However, gambling was solely based on luck after all.As someone who had been in the mining industry for quite some time, this was the first time that Mr. Will had ever see
Due to Waltz’s competitiveness and sudden improvement in fighting, she had wanted to teach this loathsome piece of sh*t a lesson. Thus, she didn’t hold back when she slapped him.“Heh, you’ve lost to me before, Fleur. Did you forget? Does your arm no longer hurt?”Back then, he had dislocated Waltz’s arm.Upon hearing the exchange in provocation, the crowd dispersed immediately.However, the big fight didn’t happen as expected.Dickinson flung his leg towards Waltz, yet she was able to grab him by the ankle and threw him to the ground. Dickinson’s arm smashed against one of the ores. With a loud crunch, his arm was fractured.“Holy sh*t! You, you’re advanced now!”Waltz appeared proud, a smug look was plastered on her face. “Hey Dicky, remember to avoid me if you can. Oh, by the way, suck it up, loser.”She picked up a small stone and shoved it into Dickinson’s mouth. The sharp ends cut the insides of his mouth, causing it to bleed profusely.The color drained from Kayden’s fa
Alex excused himself and rushed off to Assex Villa by car. He couldn’t help but mumble complaints in his mind on the way there.‘Who knew Claire was stone gambling at the Antique Street too? Did she see me? If she knew that I got myself rare glassy emeralds from all three ores I bought, she would surely force me to hand them over like she always does!’Unfortunately, Alex ran into California’s rush hour—every road was as jammed up as they could be.Alex took forty-five minutes to reach Assex Villa.Upon entry, he realized that all three members of the family were present.There were another two men and a woman in the villa too. Alex was able to recognize the woman—a middle-aged woman and one of Claire’s best friends. They often hung out together. He vaguely remembered that her name was Lucia Whitney.Lucia was speaking to Claire. “Oh Claire, Brandon is a good man. I watched him grow, you know? He’s now the department manager of a listed company and his yearly salary is over a mil
