Cheryl felt all the blood in her body rush to her brain as she felt increasingly dizzy. Her face felt like it was on fire. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.“Don’t sniff anymore!” She screamed, covering Alex’s nose and mouth with her hands. The touch became more intimate than that, and Cheryl felt a throb she never did before. Her beautiful eyes quivered and rimmed red from embarrassment. She felt like a tomato that could explode at any moment. Alex secretly scolded himself for being so stupid. What the heck did he say that for?He quickly got up and tried to find an excuse for his behavior. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to disrespect you. I just… oh, yeah, didn’t I say that I could help you treat your dysmenorrhea?”Cheryl had indeed felt that her cramps today were particularly painful, mainly because it was the first day of her period, and also perhaps due to the fright that she had got previously.“How will you treat it?” She blinked. In the small, crowded back

Moreover, the ninja from Japan who had killed Pepper was likely to come for him. It was more convenient for him to act alone anyway. In addition, there were many things for him to settle in California. He gave Dorothy a call. Dorothy was obviously happy when she knew that Alex had returned to California. The two agreed to meet at the lobby of the company to go for dinner together. The married couple met up at 5 P.M. in the evening. Alex’s brows furrowed when he looked at her. “Why do you look more dispirited than usual, and your complexion looks bad too. What have you been doing recently? Did the old lady from the Assex family cause trouble again, as if she has all the time in the world?”Dorothy closed her eyes and said, “No, that’s not it. It’s just that I’ve recently signed a contract with Waylon Realty, with Charles. You’re also aware that with my company’s current capabilities, we simply can’t handle the amount that we need to supply to them so suddenly. I had to seek o

Dorothy was also stunned because she had been to Alex’s house before and knew it wasn’t a lie that it was at Maple Villa 8.It couldn’t be possible that Charles had taken back the villa and sold it to her sister and her family, right?Adrianna’s family, on the other hand, owned a small business. Their annual income was only about five hundred thousand dollars, so how was it possible that they could purchase a villa in that area, one that cost tens of millions? Adrianna looked at Alex coldly. “What do you mean? Do you think I’m lying? Is there even a need to lie to a piece of trash like you? Do you think I have so much time on my hands?”Alex curled his lips. “I’m just being kind and reminding you not to be fooled by liars. By then, not only will you not have a house, you won’t even have your money.” Adrianna was triggered by his remark, slapping her hand on the table. “Are you cursing our family? You just can’t stand seeing others getting good things, can you? If you keep your m

But then again, he was too lazy and unbothered to explain, so he simply replied, “Yeah, that’s right. It’s all because of you. So, where’s that… didn’t you say Sharpay’s boyfriend bought it? Where is he?”“Who do you think my son-in-law is? Leaders of public listed companies have meetings throughout the day, and their time is worth tens of thousands of dollars. They’re very busy. Unlike trash like yourself, I’ve never seen you earn even a single cent throughout the year. You don’t even have a job right now. Do you want our son-in-law to introduce you to a job? Being a security guard is still better than living-off your wife like what you’re doing now.”Alex grabbed Dorothy’s hand. “So I like to live off my wife. What about it?”“Hmph! Trash!”Very quickly, they arrived at Maple Villa 8.Adrianna ran towards it the moment she got down from the car, as a dazzling smile plastered across her face. “Look at this, Sister! From today, this is my house.”“What do you think? Very stylish

The two security guards of Maple Villa initially had the intention of chasing away this group of people who were creating a nuisance. They knew that the person living in Maple Villa 8 was a good friend of Charles, and these people were the ones making a ruckus in front of the house, banging on the gates loudly. They needed to be driven out.They didn’t expect to see Alex amongst that lot, so they hurriedly greeted him.The security guard’s words surprised the rest of them.Beatrice looked at Alex, stunned. What did they mean? What keys? The two security guards actually recognized this waste of space? Could it be that Maple Villa 8 was actually…No matter how she thought about it, she found it impossible.Alex shook his head. “I haven’t forgotten my keys, but there are people who kept claiming that my house had been sold to them.”Hearing Alex’s words of confirmation, the others were shocked. Since Dorothy had already known for a while, she remained reactionless. She glanced a

The moment they stepped in, they caught sight of the big swimming pool, the beautiful courtyard, and the uniquely styled house. The villa was also filled with luxurious decor and majestic furniture all around. Throughout the renovation, Charles had spent a lot of effort decorating the interior. Even the furniture had been shipped from abroad. The group was stunned as they took a look around.Adrianna whipped out her phone, making a comparison to the pictures and videos inside that Josh had given them before, and she immediately laughed. “I knew it. The decor here is completely different from the one we bought. It must be the wrong address. Ours is not No.8.”Dorothy took a look and said, “It really is different. It’s decorated in two completely different styles. Could it be the wrong house number? Then, what number was it that you bought, Aunt?”“You could try asking the security guards,” Alex said. The two guards were standing at the door, and when they heard the call, they tro

“There are so many people here today!” said Hailey with a smile on her face. The white dress she wore gave her a mature and virtuous look, and she was only older than Alex by two years. She was also a rich young woman who ran a beauty salon and knew how to upkeep herself well. If she deliberately dressed up as a college student, no one would even bat an eye at it.“Who is she?” Claire asked as she frowned, thinking that the woman in front of her looked familiar. “It’s Charles’s wife, Charles from Waylon Realty,” Dorothy whispered in Claire’s ears before stepping forward to greet the woman.Her construction materials company had gotten the favor of a big shot such as Charles, so it was only natural to build a good relationship. She stepped forward, smiling. “Sister Hailey, allow me to introduce my mother to you, and this is my Aunt…”Hailey obviously knew who Claire was. The last time they had gone to the Assex family residence to look for Alex, she had witnessed her spiteful a

Hailey Lawson turned her head around and almost hit Alex Rockefeller.Raising her chin, she asked, “What do you mean by that?”With his heart thumping, Alex hurriedly took a step back. “You have the elegance and grace of a city girl.”“I was the belle of the village back then!” She flipped her hair and turned back.Hailey had called upon him to give her mother-in-law a treat.She wasn’t always the healthiest, and her condition had worsened recently, with her appetite and sleep badly affected. As days went by, she started hallucinating. The doctors had run out of ideas. Even James Coney came, but her condition kept worsening.Out of desperation, Hailey went to Alex for help.They got some stuff from Nine Villa before departing.About half an hour later, they arrived at Golden Manor, an upscale neighborhood.It was much more expensive than Maple Villa and was one of the more sought-after residential areas in California. Located just steps away was Sunset Lake, one of California’
