Chapter 174
Waltz clapped to remove the dust off her hands. “Brother, I’m done.”Brittany, however, was slightly shaken at the scene. “Alex, would they suffocate in there? We are still relatives, after all, and a light punishment would suffice. If something bad were to happen to them, then this wouldn’t be the end of it.”Alex replied, “Don’t worry, Mom, nothing bad would happen to them.”He used his index finger to poke a few holes into the coffin, ensuring that they had enough oxygen to breathe.“Waltz, take care of mom. I’ll be sending this coffin back, along with these bastards.”Brittany knew that if she let her son go alone, he might make matters worse. She immediately said, “Alex, I’ll go with you.”Waltz wanted to tag along as well, seemingly excited.“Then… alright! But let’s have breakfast first before we go. It won’t hurt to take a short break.” A few moments later, a large Mercedes Benz drove right in front of Rockefeller Manor.Noah and one of their security guards carefully

John’s meeting had just ended. He went back to his office and thought about how his family had sent Brittany a coffin.He hated her immensely, even though she was his sister-in-law. Back when William was still alive, Brittany was second-in-charge of the sales and finances of Rockefeller Group. It was extremely difficult to pull tricks behind her back when he was working under her.She had scolded him multiple times for tampering with documents, and humiliating him. He had always wanted to hire some men to kidnap her and humiliate her twice as much as she did to him.However, due to a meeting with the directors, it was regretful that he had to miss out on a great show.He immediately called his son, yet Spark didn’t pick up.‘This little brat, how dare he ignore my calls? Is he having too good of a time insulting that b*tch? Hence why he couldn’t hear his phone ring?’Just then, Pepper walked into the office, and she had on an elegant black uniform, with a pair of heels. She was

“Mr. Rockefeller, Alex is a fighter, and a pretty skilled one too. He must be fuming now, and it would be dangerous to meet him without any backup. I know a guy. He’s a fairly skilled fighter too. It’d be better if I asked him to back us up.”“Alright!”Pepper immediately dialed Baldy’s number.She started planning in her head immediately. Since Alex wasn’t dead yet, it could only mean that he still had the medicine with him, and she would be able to take it from him forcefully. She knew she didn't have the skills to snatch it from the Yowells. However, if it was just Alex that she had to deal with, everything felt much more comfortable.At the same time, a crowd had formed around the coffin at the Rockefeller Manor.Almost everyone in the manor had come out to watch. The maids, guards, and even Paige and her husband rushed out as soon as they got the news.Paige stomped her feet in fury. “How dare you, Brittany? You’ve gone too far... You’ve crossed the line! How dare you lock

‘What?’John glared at Waltz. His veins were bulging through his forehead.“Who do you think you are? You don’t deserve to even speak to me. Get lost!”From his point of view, Waltz was just like any other woman, perhaps slightly better looking. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely have tried to flirt with such a beauty. However, given the current circumstances where his wife and son were both locked in a coffin, he wasn’t in the mood for that.John pushed hard on the coffin cover.However, it didn’t budge at all.It was sealed shut with nails. After all, his strength alone would never be enough to open the coffin.“Guards? Guards! Come and help me out here! Are you all f*cking braindead? I didn’t pay you just to stand there and do nothing!” John roared, spitting his saliva all over the place with every syllable uttered.The guards just looked at each other and didn’t dare to help.They’ve learned their lesson after going up against Waltz.This gorgeous vixen was s

Baldy couldn’t stop screaming in pain. Cold beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.The entire Rockefeller family looked immensely disappointed. Baldy had come up to them all smug and cocky, throwing harsh insults without a care in the world. They thought he was a legendary fighter, yet all he was, was a bluff.Waltz chuckled. “Who am I? I am my master’s special servant. If you can’t even fight off a servant, how dare you think that you could stand up for someone else? Get lost!”Waltz, smiling sweetly a moment ago, suddenly transformed into a psychopath and slapped Baldy hard twice. She managed to knock two of his teeth out.Baldy’s expression was twisted. Obviously horrified, he even spat out a small pool of blood.He didn’t dare say a single word as he took a defeated glance at Pepper. With a darkened face, he prepared to retreat and leave.“Who said you could go?” a soft voice asked from behind him.Everyone looked toward the pond. It was Alex, staring at the fishes in th

“Medicine auction? Heh, Alex, you must be mistaken. I have no knowledge of medicine at all, why would I be at some auction? I’d usually just go to the hospital if I needed medicine. Why would I even dare to get some random medicine? Who knows what effects it might have?” Pepper smiled, denying Alex’s accusations.Alex returned her smile and said, “You’re right, who knows what effects it might have? You should know better, right, Secretary Kimmich? Remember to watch your step. You have four eyes, so you should be able to see much clearer than most of us. I hope you won’t take another wrong step.”He then turned to John.“You’re a few days closer to the deadline. You’d have to think this through.”“If you refuse to return what I asked for, you probably won’t be able to have this coffin opened. Forever.”Alex placed his hand gently onto the coffin cover.With a gentle pat, the whole cover turned into pieces of wooden shards.Pepper’s face had turned extremely pale, her eyes filled

Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t have said such things, all the more right after being saved.Waltz had wanted to beat Bill up right there and then but was stopped by Alex.Alex ripped off his shirt that had been soiled by the spit and threw it onto the ground. “This indicates that we no longer owe you anything. We’re cutting it clean with you, old man. From now on, I have no relations to the Rockefellers. I don’t owe you anything, but you do. If you didn’t return what used to be my father’s before the 5th of October, all of you would have to pay with your lives.”“Let’s go, mom!”“Shut up!” Bill raged, yelling at him with bloodshot eyes. “Well, come and take my life right here, right now! You ungrateful little pest, I will not hand you a single penny from our family! Do you really think you’re a Rockefeller? Dream on! You were never my grandson, to begin with, and your father isn’t even my son! Both of you are mere outsiders!”“What?”This shocked Alex and Brittany to their c
Chapter 181
After staring at her intently, Alex reached his hand out, touching her soft and smooth face.Waltz smiled sweetly and her eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons as though she was ready to welcome Alex’s lips on hers.However, Alex spoke up, “I know that you’re trying to comfort me, to help me feel better. To be honest, you’re worrying too much. I’ve managed to pull through worse, furthermore this isn’t a big deal at all.”“I’m actually relieved that I’m not related to the Rockefellers. I wouldn’t have to worry too much when I need to fight back.”“But, being stabbed by your family in the back is the most unacceptable thing, isn’t it?”Waltz nodded gently.Their eyes met again. The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambivalent as their gazes turned hot and seductive. Waltz leaned closer to Alex, puckering up her lips.Suddenly, Alex started pinching her with the hand that he placed on her face. Puzzled, he asked, “What are you doing? You’re just my slave. Are you
