“Who are you? How are you qualified to ask me to do a favor for you?”Edgar looked at Alex with a disgruntled look. He flashed an angry smile and said, “Is she yours? Very well, I’ll teach her a lesson in front of you. Are you going to just stand there and watch? Who is your patron? I’m really interested to know him!”“Hold him down!” Edgar said to the security guards.At this moment, Dr. Cheryl's classmates were entertained to see how Alex dug his own grave.Dr. Cheryl was unable to fend for herself while being publicly insulted. Even Benjamin was forced to keep quiet. “You'll regret this!” Alex said angrily.“Damn, this guy is still acting tough! I can't stand the sight of him, he’s obnoxious. Hurry up and take him down!” said Edgar.Manager Ramsay answered Edgar’s orders instantly. He didn’t bother to look at Alex’s expression. He was asking for trouble.Dr. Cheryl was scared to death. She was worried that Alex couldn’t handle so many of them. Furthermore, these people work
Chapter 27
Ramsay’s face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.But he dared not bleat. He nodded and walked away in despair. He left the room.Bernard then asked, “Master Alex, did anyone here offend you?”Alex brushed his hair with his fingers and said, “Nothing serious. But this dude here insulted my girlfriend in front of me. I’m not sure how I should deal with him.”Bernard raged, “You piece of shit! You signed your own death warrant. Guards! Throw him into the river and drown him!”Everyone was frightened.Edgar felt a shiver run down his spine. He hurriedly said, “Wait! I am the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. I’m associated with Lord Lex Gunther of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. You can’t do this to me!”As he finished his words, Bernard slapped his face.Slap! “Do you think that Lord Gunther will bother to help you? Drown him!” said Bernard. Edgar panicked and he dropped on both knees pleading, “No, please! I was wrong, I apologize! Let me compensate you, M

“No, I didn't. I never promised him. You're my husband!” cried Dorothy.Alex said, “Do you think that I’m blind? I witnessed it!”Dorothy said, "I... I didn't, I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry, honey. Where are you? I want to see you. Let me explain and apologize to you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't believe Spark. You can punish me or hit me. Please, let’s meet up.” When Alex heard Dorothy pleading so desperately on the phone, his anger subsided.But he gave it another thought.‘Oh, crap! When Lord Lex put on a show at the Assexes, he addressed me as Master Alex. Does it mean that my identity has been exposed? The Assex family are bloodsuckers, they certainly want me to go back. Then, they will want my help to re-sign the billion-dollar contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. D*mn those fools, go to hell!’ he thought in his mind.Then, he asked, “Did you come to apologize because you were told to do so by Madame Joanne?”Dorothy said immediately, “No, I want to apologize. Honey

However, the opposite could also be said. Anyone who got on the good side of Thousand Miles Conglomerate would flourish. As Alex appeared, Madame Joanne was the first person to greet him. Contrary to her previous behavior, Madame Joanne was smiling from ear to ear. It was as if she’s another person.She took Alex by his hand and said, “Alex, it was all my fault. I was wrong to judge you so quickly; it was my mistake. This was all caused by Spark and Bill! We were all deceived by their words!” Standing behind her, Benny Assex, Anderson Assex and other members of the Assex family were all smiling apologetically.Alex said in a nonchalant voice, “Since it is a misunderstanding, then it’s no big deal. I am going to bed as I’m feeling tired.”Madame Joanne hurriedly said, "Please hold! Just now Lord Lex tore up the billion-dollar contract that was promised to us. What is the relationship between you and Lord Lex? Could you give him a call and ask him to sign the contract again?”

Beatrice’s eyes immediately widened. “Did you really buy a necklace that costs thirty million dollars? How much money did you receive from Lord Lex?” Madame Claire was also curious.Alex shrugged. “I don’t have much money. The necklace was a gift from Lord Lex. The wedding ring that I got back was free of charge too.”Madame Claire loudly slapped her own thighs. “Oh my god! How could you hand the thirty million dollars necklace away? Are you an imbecile?”Alex replied, “It was you who threw it away.”Madame Claire remembered that she was the one who had thrown the necklace on the ground and deeply regretted it! Beatrice said, "I remember that the woman who took the necklace was someone you know. She is... Dr. Cheryl, isn't it? Can you please ask for the necklace back?”Madame Claire’s eyes lit up. “Oh yes, we must get it back.”Alex shook his head. He was too embarrassed to ask! He had just pretended to be Dr. Cheryl's boyfriend. He’s even more embarrassed by the incident in

Alex thought, ‘If you knew that I was the boss of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, you wouldn’t have said that.’ However, now wasn’t the time to reveal that yet. Dorothy added, “I hope you take some time to think about what you even want to do in the future. You’re a full grown man and yet you’re doing nothing with your life! I know what you’re going to say, that you need to take care of your mom. But you can always hire a caretaker, can’t you? Just get a job, or you can work in my company.”Alex was put in a difficult spot, as he didn’t want to leave his mother to caretakers.However, under Dorothy’s glare, he nodded. “Okay, I’ll think about it.”The next morning, Alex gave a ride to Dorothy to the airport in her car.She met up with a few colleagues there as they were going to attend an exhibition in Block City.Alex then drove back home.On the way home, he received a call. It was from Cheryl. “Alex, you need to come to the hospital now. It’s about your mother.”Alex gasped,

The slap startled Cheryl. It made her cheek burn up.And the worst part was what Claire had said. Cheryl knew that she was innocent—she was just a doctor, nothing else. Why did she have to endure such treatment?Claire’s loud yelling caught the attention of numerous nurses and families in the hospital.Cheryl was pissed off. “Please mind your words, madam. Please do not spout such nonsense.”Claire was an extremely hot-tempered woman, the type to hold a grudge and get revenge.She swung her hand again, slapping Cheryl across the face. Cheryl couldn’t even dodge it.Claire yelled, “Bullsh*t! Mind my words? Anyone would know that you’re the one who should mind your words! Seducing someone else’s husband like the sl*t that you are, and even hugging in public like this! Why don’t you just admit to being a shameless sl*t? I saw everything! There’s even saliva on your clothes! You guys just aren’t naked yet…”Everyone was looking at them now, gossiping softly.Cheryl was so triggered
Chapter 33
Holy sh*t!Alex explored his mind—it literally felt like a book, the pages flipping on its own as the vast amount of information rearranged and presented themselves: Traditional medicine, witch doctors, voodoo, charms, even medicinal martial arts. Everything came to him just a blink of an eye, engulfing his thoughts.Alex’s body relaxed as he felt the warm energy course through his body.“Alex, Alex?” Cheryl’s voice rang in Alex’s ears, snapping him back into reality.He blinked. “Huh? Dr. Coney, where am I? Where’s Mom?” Cheryl replied, “Alex, you just fainted…” Just then, a nurse rushed over. “Dr. Coney, the patient Brittany Rockefeller has stopped breathing…”The lot rushed towards Brittany’s ward.Alex saw his mother lying still in the bed, her face as pale as a sheet and the ECG in a straight line. A doctor approached them, shaking her head.“Mom! Oh Mom...” Alex cried loudly as he rushed to Brittany’s bedside.However, a bundle of information flashed through his mind:
