Chapter 197
The woman who spoke up was sitting behind Alex and seemed to be in her thirties.She overheard their conversation since she was sitting so close by.She had been listening to them since Michelle said she’d have Priscilla in Alex’s bed. She absolutely despised the two, and even wanted to call the cops on them. It was a relief that Alex turned down the offer.Later on, she heard them talking about Thousand Leaves, saying that they’d be able to get the permit with just a word. Upon listening to this, she almost spat out her spicy stew.She just so happened to know about Thousand Leaves.Her husband sold building materials too, though he was just a small distributor working under the California franchise. She knew that Thousand Leaves was owned by the Yowells, one of the four richest families in California. The company was also well advertised.Her husband distributed hundreds of different brands of building materials, yet Thousand Leaves contributed seventy percent of their sales.
Chapter 198
Alex had only suggested curing him since Jack helped him out. He smiled and said, “Mr. Trent, it takes fate to save someone. If you really have doubts, it’s alright. You can always go to a hospital for a check up. You have to be quick though, your kidney stone is situated in a very bad position, it might lead to other infections.”Everyone couldn’t help but laugh again.‘You didn't use ultrasounds or X-rays, you didn’t even check his pulse. How could you know that the kidney stone was in a bad spot? Do you have X-ray vision?’This time, Michelle’s eyes widened as well. She crossed her arms across her chest in doubt. “Alex, do you have X-ray vision?”Alex ignored her.Suddenly, Jack spoke up. “Mr. Rockefeller, I believe in you.”He wasn’t using a surgical knife anyway, so Jack knew that it would be worth a try.Alex didn’t say anything more and placed his hand on the lesion, inserting his Chi into his body. By creating a vibrating energy, he was able to crush Jack’s kidney stones

The young man who choked on his noodles fell off his seat butt-first.“Ms. Yowell, the California diva? Is this true?”Someone took out their phone secretly and searched for the California Diva.Lots of photos and results popped up.Michelle had always kept a high profile and didn’t care for the paparazzis. The Yowells didn’t do anything about it as well, they just let her be.So, it was fairly easy to look her up.Suddenly, someone screamed...“It’s true! It’s true! She really is Ms. Yowell, Michelle Yowell!”“So, it is true! Ms. Yowell actually came to my restaurant to eat spicy stew. I… I wonder if I could get a picture with her?”“Mister, are you blind? Look at her, she’s fuming. Why would you even ask for a photo now?”After the man had slapped himself more than ten times, Jack spoke up. “Do you know me?”The man nodded.Jack asked another question, “Who are you?”This put the man in a difficult position. His building material store was one of the smaller distributo

“Do you really think I want to wait? The surgery fee is at least half a million dollars. And there are risks to the surgery as well, it’s a fifty-fifty gamble. I might not be able to survive the surgery. It’s not like you don’t know the condition of my family. If something were to happen to me, my mom and sister would be done for. It’s alright, no more talking, I’ll be off now. I have lots of parcels to deliver at noon.”The store owner sighed, his eyes filled with sympathy.Looks like this was yet another tragedy.“Hold on!” Alex spoke up. “Do you trust me?”The young man paused for three seconds and smiled as he nodded. “I do. As Ms. Yowell’s friend, you wouldn’t have the leisure to trick a poor lowly guy like me.”Alex stood up. “Believe me, and I’ll show you the light.”He walked over and took a finger out, placing it an inch above the young man’s temples.That was where the tumor was, underneath his skull.Just then, Alex’s finger shone like a jade, as if there was electri

When they arrived at the hospital for a check up, the female doctor recognized the young man.She said in a stern and concerned tone, “Luke, your tumor can’t wait any longer. It’s growing in a precarious spot. There’s still a chance that you could be cured. However, if you stall any more time, the tumor would grow. Then that would be a bigger problem, you know that, right?”The young man was Luke Hiddleston. “Dr. Patricia, quick! I’d like to have a check up! Can you check if my tumor is still there?”The doctor froze. “If it's still there? Why would it disappear for no reason?”One of the guys pointed at Alex, smiling. “Doctor, you just don’t know. This man is a legendary doctor, he can cure any sickness. Even the California miracle doctor refers to him as his master. This legendary doctor poked his head and the tumor went poof! Gone!”His tone and expression was sarcastic, as if he was telling the world’s biggest joke.He wanted to see Alex humiliated.As expected, Dr. Patricia
Chapter 202
The door opened and Alex walked into the villa on his own.Unexpectedly, the living room was completely empty. He felt the sudden urge to pee and rushed to his usual room. There was a bathroom attached.He flung the bathroom door open and froze.There was someone inside of the bathroom—Beatrice Assex, whom he had met at California State University just a while ago. More importantly, she was bent slightly forward, attaching her sanitary pad on her underwear. Their eyes met.Beatrice was surprised too.After freezing in place for five seconds, she let out a high pitch scream. “Rockefeller, you jerk! I’ll kill you!”Alex was smart, he knew he needed to run. “Hey, I didn't mean to! I didn’t see anything.”Just as he tried to get out of the house, Alex noticed that Claire had come home.Hearing Beatrice’s screams, she grabbed Alex, who was ready to make a run for it. She said angrily, “Hey Rockefeller, you ungrateful loser! Have you been bullying Beatrice again? Don’t you dare run
Chapter 203
Anderson rushed up to the client and pushed a worker—who was moving boxes—aside with full force.The worker lost balance and fell to the ground, along with the materials in the box. The box almost crushed his feet too.“What the f—” The worker was enraged and was about to yell at them. However, looked up and realized that it was the CEO of Assex Constructions, Anderson Assex, who pushed him. Behind Anderson was Joanne and six guards in uniforms.He immediately kept his mouth shut and swallowed his anger.After multiple slaps from Alex, Anderson’s face was swollen. Even now, his teeth were still hurting from the impact. His anger had welled up in his chest and he couldn’t wait to release all of it at the subsidiary company.He grabbed the worker by his collar and said angrily, “What? Are you trying to curse at me? Look at yourself. Do you want to get fired?”The young worker didn’t dare to fight back. “No, no! I didn’t curse!”Dorothy had given him a higher wage, so he really did

Dorothy didn’t know what to say. “Grandma, I…”The old lady continued. “And who said Anderson doesn’t have the right to give orders? What are these materials anyway? Aren’t they the new materials from Thousand Leaves? We had forfeited your company’s right to sell them, yet you’re still trying to. This is illegal, do you want to end up in jail?”Emma smiled smugly. “That’s right, Dorothy. I must say, you have quite the balls. You dare sell the new materials from Thousand Leaves without a permit. This is literally smuggling. I’ve contacted Mr. Roberts from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. He’ll be here at any moment to inspect your company.”“What?” Dorothy was scared and angry.They were family, yet Emma went overboard. She wanted to ruin her life!“Grandma, did you approve of this too?” Dorothy turned to the old lady.Joanne’s expression was cold. “Dorothy, Grandma had already given you a chance yesterday, but you didn’t listen to my advice. I’m truly disappointed. However, b
