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

Of course, Alex was able to dodge the slipper easily.Just then, Dorothy called out to him from the staircase on the second floor, “Alex, come upstairs.”Just as Alex wanted to walk up the stairs, Claire held him off by pulling his arm. “No way! Dorothy, are you insane? How could you let this loser go up to your room? That’ll ruin your reputation if this news ever gets out! How are you supposed to get married after this?”Dorothy replied coldly, “Mom, I’m going to repeat myself. I’m already married, Alex is my husband. On the contrary, your tantrums would really ruin my reputation. What do you even want? Do you really want me to stab myself in the heart, only then you’ll be satisfied?”Realizing that Dorothy was really mad, Claire, who was livid, could only let go of Alex and yelled to the sky, “Oh God, what did I do in my previous life to deserve this?!”Deigning to even look at her, Alex went upstairs.In fact, Alex had been in Dorothy’s room in the past, but it was a long time

As soon as Madame Joanne arrogantly walked through the door, she took a quick scan of the interior of the villa, with a look of disgust and disdain on her face. Her presence was as if a great gift bestowed upon them.Claire had bad-mouthed Madame Joanne behind her back many times. Upon seeing her arrival, she immediately jumped up from the sofa to give her a warm welcome, despite the pain in her feet.“Mom, what brings you here? Here, take a seat!” She held Madame Joanne’s arm, guiding her to the sofa.However, Madame Joanne didn’t move an inch and forcefully flung her hands away.Emma stared at them in disgust. “Ugh, really? Just look at how dirty your sofa is. There’s blood on the floor too! Where did that blood even come from? Could it be syphilis? How could you let her sit there? Are you trying to infect Grandma with such filthy diseases? ”Claire froze with her hands still in the mid-air. Her expression immediately turned grim as well.Both Dorothy and Beatrice were bridle

Dorothy was speechless as she didn’t know what to say.Alex spoke up, “Mr. Carter helped us last time because of me.”Anderson laughed out loud. “Because of you? You’re just an abandoned kid from the Rockefellers, a loser who lives off his wife! Why would Mr. Carter help you? Everyone knows that Dorothy was just bluffing last time. Why would Mr. Carter know a loser like you? Dorothy must have given you all the credit after she signed the contract!”Dorothy replied, “I don’t have the ability to have Mr. Carter at my beck and call. It really was because of Alex.”Anderson cackled even louder. “You do have the ability, because you’re pretty! As long as you spread your legs, Mr. Carter will definitely help you. Otherwise, why were you the only one who was able to secure the contract with him when the others failed to do so? Don’t worry, we won’t let your help in vain. After signing this contract, the Assexes will give you five hundred thousand dollars… Five hundred thousand dollars! Ju

“Uncle Benny, my company would be ruined if I were to sell the materials at half the market price! That wouldn’t be able to cover the advance expense that we forked out for the materials. You’re trying to ruin our lives!”Dorothy was in such a panic that she teared up, after all, this was all too much for her.Alex did not understand much about Assex Constructions' new materials. Although he felt sorry for his wife, he could not find any excuse to stand up for his wife. So, he could only wait and think of another way to help her.Madame Joanne smiled coldly. “What does that have to do with us? Your company can go into shambles for all I care. Grandma wants to help you, since you’re my granddaughter. If you could achieve the first request, we wouldn’t take action on the second.”Dorothy understood their intentions now, it was a simultaneous pressure to force her into submission.Madame Joanne looked confident, knowing that she was going to get what she wanted.Benny said, “Dorothy

The Yowells?Alex froze a little, then let out a sigh of relief.Since it was Keith’s property, whatever rule regarding the materials would be set by the Yowells. He believed that Keith would definitely help him out with such a trivial matter.Alex immediately said, “Okay, don’t you worry. Just leave it to me, I’ll help you resolve this issue.”Dorothy asked, “What plan do you have? Are you going to beg Mr. Carter?”Alex smiled mysteriously. “Just wait and see.”Throughout their conversation, Beatrice observed Alex with a puzzled look. She suddenly remembered that youthful lady with huge busts, as known as the top-notch campus belle in California State University — Michelle Yowell.She immediately spoke up, “Alex, I’d like to talk to you. Follow me outside.”With that, Beatrice turned around and walked out of the villa.Dorothy and Claire looked toward Beatrice in bemusement before turning their gaze to Alex. Both of them thought that something impossible had happened.After

Upon listening to his words, Beatrice burst in anger as she thought, ‘How dare he utter such nonsense?! Does he think that I, Beatrice Assex, am a dumbass?!’However, this bastard looked extremely arrogant and smug, so Beatrice couldn’t hold in her fury any longer.“Do you think I’d believe that? Do you think you’re some kind of miracle doctor? That you're a reincarnation of Hippocrates? Why don’t you just say that you saved the earth, or better, the entire universe? Really… Is this the dream of a loser?”“I really dislike you, you don’t deserve my sister at all. Yet Sis is just so infatuated with you, both Mom and I can’t do anything about you at all! So, I hope you can come back to your senses and be down-to-earth. Don’t ever hurt my sister, or even my family.”“You can continue to be our nanny in this villa, but you have to cut ties with Michelle Yowell.” Beatrice said with a cold expression on her face.After letting out a sardonic laugh, Alex turned around, looking toward the

At this time of the year, California State University was already closed for holidays but lots of students stayed back at the university, especially the seniors and club members. As for the top-notch and extremely popular campus belle, Michelle, as soon as the news of her challenging someone spread, it immediately led a large crowd.There were quite a few outsiders in the crowd as well.Wham!On the half-meter high stage, a young teen with a mohawk, was sent flying off the stage with just one kick from his opponent, falling hard onto the ground.It was fortunate that the stage was surrounded by soft mats, hence he didn’t end up injured.Loud cheers and claps echoed through the clubhouse. The young teen with a mohawk gloomily walked up to a youthful lady with huge busts, who had a stern expression plastered on her face. “Sorry, Ms. Yowell, I was no match for him.”The winner on the stage, who was a young man with long hair, pointed toward Michelle.He stared at her mockingly an
