Chapter 267
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
Chapter 271
“How much does it cost?” Christopher glared at Claire with murderous intent.After that, he said, heartbroken, “Jean Peculli’s artworks are priceless, you wouldn’t be able to buy it even if you wanted to. However, if The Landscape really were to be put up in an auction, it should be way more expensive than the one that was bidded in Port City last time, with a worth at least a billion dollars.”‘What?! It’s actually worth a billion dollars?!’ Upon hearing those words, Claire thought as she fell and sat on the ground, due to her legs enervated.Realizing that she had tore a billion dollars apart, she wanted to ram her head into a wall out of regret. After all it was a billion dollars, when would she have the opportunity to see such a large amount of money?On the other hand, Edison, who was ashen-faced, immediately explained as he faced Sharpay and Adrianna with doubtful looks on their face, “Sharpay, Aunty, I was fooled too. F*ck, I’ll demand a proper explanation tomorrow.”Christ

Could it be that Rockefeller Group would have a major change?***On the way home, Waltz drove the Lamborghini whereas Alex was in the passenger seat. On the other hand, Brittany and Maya were in another car.“Senior, stop being upset about it. You may have lost one wife, but now you have two! It’s a win for you!” Waltz tried comforting him after seeing his gloomy expression. She even placed her hand on his arm and scratched him gently with her nails, after receiving no reaction from him.Alex couldn’t bear ignoring her any further. “Pay attention to the road, or else we might end up in an accident.”Waltz smiled. “Okay!”Alex sighed. “You’re the one who brought my mom over, right?”“I didn’t…” She paused for a moment before she continued, “Mom forced me to do it. She had been second-guessing about your life this whole while!”“Why are you calling her Mom? Are you not shy in the slightest?”“Your mom was the one who said so. She’s the empress of this family, I can’t disobey he

The moment the spark of fire flashed in the dark, Alex’s sense of danger peaked.“Careful!”His body immediately moved out of reflex before he could think about anything else. He instinctively grabbed Waltz’s shoulder and pushed her onto his lap. Then, he forcefully pushed down the Lamborghini's passenger seat with his back, lying down.It was almost the same time that a bullet flew through the car windows. Flying over the driver’s seat, the bullet brushed over Alex's nose and passed through the other side of the window.“An assassin!” Adrenaline rose in Alex’s body, causing the Chi of the Force and the divine power in his energy core to be violently stirred.Waltz was one of the Three Great Chieftains of California’s underworld, hence she knew what was going on immediately: they were facing a sniper.Vroom!Suddenly, another large truck on the opposite side of the road rammed toward them.If the Lamborghini were to get hit, both of them would end up becoming flat patties, le

The car frame smashed him into two halves.Meanwhile, Waltz beat up the slag truck drivers frenetically. Since she was at half step to Mystic rank, handling small fry like them was a piece of cake. A few moments later, all three truck drivers died from her attacks.The two managed to avert the crisis.Alex then noticed that blood was flooding out of Waltz’s upper arm, it was a terrifying sight.He immediately rushed over and held her. “Waltz, you’re hurt! Are you alright?”Waltz, who was enraged and merciless earlier, curved her mouth into a frown and fell into Alex’s arms as she grimaced in immense pain. “Senior, I don’t think I have much time left. I have something I wish to do before I die, can you help me to grant that wish?”Alex panicked. “Waltz, don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you.”Waltz replied, “No, my wish is more important right now, or else I won’t ever rest in peace. Quick, lean forward, I can’t hold it any longer.”Alex leaned forward instinctively. Smooch!
