“What new son-in-law?”“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?” Dorothy, who was wearing a business attire, got out of the car as well. Sharpay, who dressed up glamorously, was incomparable with her ethereal beauty and elegance in that instant.Even her boyfriend, Edison, stared at Dorothy with eyes filled with immense adoration and envy.Claire ecstatically thought that Dorothy had finally dumped Alex and found herself a rich son-in-law. However, seeing Alex whom she knew very well, Claire was extremely disappointed.“Dorothy, wasn’t there a rich heir who picked you up in a Lamborghini? How did it turn out to be this trash here?” Claire huffed angrily.“What rich heir? It’s Alex who picked me up. Mom, I’m married, please don’t say such nonsense,” Dorothy said as she glared at Beatrice. She knew that Beatrice was added into the office group chat. Hence, she was the only one here who could know about this.Just then, Adrianna walked up to them with a smile. “Oh, so it’s really
Chapter 264
Inside Bardot Manor, there were around forty to fifty people in total of Aidan's relatives and his disciples. A few large tables had been placed in the hall.It was time to present gifts. Dorothy had thoughtfully prepared a gift for Alex to present to Aidan: it was an inkstone that cost tens of thousands dollars. The old man liked calligraphy, hence, she figured that he would like it.“Give this inkstone to him later, and say it’s a present from both of us.” Dorothy reminded him in a soft voice.“There’s no need for that, I’ve prepared gifts as well,” Alex smiled as he said.In front of them, the first one to present the gift to Aidan was the elder daughter, Claire. “Dad, I’ve got you this jade scepter. I wish you good luck and health for years to come.”Next was Adrianna and Taylor, they gave him a gold statue of Buddha.Then, Aidan’s disciples followed suit and presented their gifts to Aidan.Alex was speechless with the fact that Aidan would open his presents as soon as he

“This… Is this The Landscape too?”“Why does it look the same as the other?”“Is it even possible that there are two copies of The Landscape in this world?” Sharpay exclaimed in surprise.Adrianna rushed over to take a look and hurriedly said, “Why do you even need to question it? Obviously, this must be a fake. Why else are there two same paintings by a famous artist in this world? Even idiots could figure that out.”Alex replied, “Mine is the original copy.”Taylor chuckled sarcastically. “Yours is the original? So, are you saying the one that my son-in-law presented is a fake? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror, do you really think you can afford to present the original copy of The Landscape? You couldn’t even buy a shred of it even if you were to use all the pocket money that the Assexess have given to you.”Edison huffed. “I got mine from a friend’s auction with an internally set price of more than ten million dollars. I ask of you, where did yours come from?”Ale

Alex was demotivated as he said, “This is a snow lotus.”“Huh, is this really a snow lotus?”One of the disciples said, “This really is a snow lotus, but it looks kind of weird.”Someone added, “I’ve seen it on Amazon, my wife ordered some for herself.”Sharpay immediately looked it up on Amazon. In the next second, she cackled. “I thought it was something good this time. This snow lotus here only costs 23.8 dollars, it comes with free shipping too! If you could drive a Lamborghini, why are you gifting this piece of sh*t? Not even a dog would want it!”She immediately threw the snow lotus, which was worth millions dollars, onto the ground.Claire angrily lifted her leg and stomped on it several times, trampling it into pieces.While pointing at Alex, she yelled, “You loser! You godforsaken loser! Are you done fooling around yet? Are you really a nemesis of the Assexes? You don’t ever do anything in your life, all you could do is get sh*tty items like this! How long do you plan o

Claire held the side of her face that had been slapped, with her eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, “It’s Brittany, it’s really Brittany. She has actually woken up from her coma.”Alex was shocked as well. “Mom, you… why are you guys here?”He saw Waltz and Maya were behind Brittany as well. In that instant, Alex knew that chaos would soon ensue. He was worried the most that such a situation would happen, therefore he never told Claire that his mother had woken up.For Dorothy’s sake, he was willing to endure Claire’s unreasonable and lunatic behavior to make things more difficult for him. However, Brittany would never stand back and tolerate her behavior.Dorothy felt the same too, but her face was pale, with her lips trembling. She was about to faint out of shock.Beatrice was in shock as well, with her mouth agape.Meanwhile, the Bardot family and the other guests were taken aback as soon as they saw such a scene, but their expressions turned excited shortly after… Especi

“Mom…”Alex wanted to stop Brittany, yet he was held back by Waltz. “Senior, Madame has been holding the anger for such a long time, if you don’t let her vent it, it might deteriorate her health and she might get sick. Your mother-in-law has indeed crossed the line. If we don’t teach her a lesson now, you’d have to suffer more in the future.”Alex smiled bitterly. “I’m worried that I wouldn’t even have a future after this.”Waltz smiled as she said, “That won’t happen.”Deep in her heart, she wished dearly that Alex didn’t have such a future.“My son has been slaving away for your family as a nanny, he could at least have a salary of ten thousand dollars every month, right? There’s a total of ten months, how much has he actually taken from you? Isn’t that what he’s supposed to deserve?” Brittany said coldly.“It doesn’t matter how much he took, that’s still money of the Assexes!”“Fine, it's your money. What about this then? Back when Alex was getting married, I gave you a betro

“P… Princess Fleur?!” After taking a clear look at Waltz, Edison almost fell to the ground out of shock.Never did he expect that the great Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate would come by this place and join in on the fun. More importantly, she actually said that she wanted to become a concubine for Claire’s useless son-in-law.‘Not to mention the legitimacy of the matter, if a man like him could have Princess Fleur to personally show up just for him, could this man really be a useless loser? Claire Assex and the whole Bardot family must be insane!’ He thought as he quickly took a few steps back, fearing that Princess Fleur might notice him.However, Sharpay, who was still clinging to him, asked with a puzzled look, “Honey, what did you just say? Who’s Princess Fleur?”Edison jumped in shock, he wished he could murder Sharpay right there and then because of her naivety.He even saw that Waltz seemed to take a glance in their direction. He hurriedly dragged Sharpay and

Just then, an old man in traditional clothing walked into the manor with a smile while holding two bottles of wine.“Hey Bardot! Your old pal is here to see you! Just look at what I’ve brought you, it's the thirty-year-old Dalva tawny port!”Upon hearing the old man’s voice, Aidan immediately rushed up to him while donning a bright smile. “Lawrence, didn’t you say that the Archaeological Society will be having a meeting today? Why did you rush over here then?”This old man was Christopher Lawrence, he used to teach History back in the same school as Aidan.However, this old man joined the Archaeological Society later on. Now, he had a different position as an official in the archaeology industry. Naturally, Aidan was overjoyed to see him.Christopher smiled as he said, “I came as soon as the meeting ended.”Just then, he took a glance at the ground and noticed The Landscape that had been stomped by Claire. Although he could only see parts of the painting, he was able to identify
