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
Alex followed the five in the back and listened in on their conversation.“Sis Henderson, I heard the president of Green Dragons, Trevor Newman, was the one who challenged us. He even brought a skilled fighter along this time. I wonder if Ms. Yowell can handle them,” one of the guys said worriedly.“Don’t worry, Newman is just all talk. He looks impressive but he’s just a weakling. He couldn’t even beat me last time, let alone Michelle. He has no chance against her,” Annalise said confidently.“But I heard Newman went for a special training for a duration of three months!”“You guys might not understand martial art even if I were to explain it to you. Three months? Even if he has trained for three years, he’s still no match for Michelle, and can’t even beat me. That’s because both Michelle and I are experts in inner force after intensive training.”“So, it’s really because of inner force? Then, aren’t you guys as strong as Shooriyojou?”“Besides, Sis Henderson, you’re so gorgeous
While clasping her chest in pain, Michelle coughed up blood and couldn’t answer at all.Meanwhile, Trevor scanned the crowd and yelled, “Hey, everyone in Devil Coven and California State University, did you see that? Michelle Yowell, the one you claim as queen, is now kneeling before me, Trevor Newman from Green Dragons! Do you guys yield?”Alex frowned. He could tell that Michelle had acted recklessly again by using her inner force, resulting in the recurrence of her injury. If it was not treated in time, it could leave serious repercussions on her health. When the time came, she might not be able to recover completely, even with his help.However, just as he was about to give Michelle a hand, the members of Devil Coven rushed up the stage and helped her get down.Annalise and the others rushed to her and asked about the situation.Only then did they realize that Michelle had been wounded before the fight.Annalise huffed. “I’ll take him down.”Michelle replied, “Be careful, Ne
