Chapter 408
A demure, attractive young lady immediately approached Hailey Lawson when she entered. She had a red slap mark on her cheek as she greeted Hailey with tears in her eyes.“Miss Lawson!”“How are things?” Hailey did not have the energy to concern herself with the slap mark on her employee’s face.“The Phoenix Hall is almost thrashed. Ms. Cathay is down on her knees too!”Hailey grimaced and quickly went toward the direction of Phoenix Hall.Even before she arrived at the entrance, sounds of people yelling and things breaking could be heard.“Where is Hailey Lawson? Where is she?!”“Three minutes! If she is not here by then, I will make sure this place closes down forever!”Hailey broke into a bitter grin and hastened her footsteps.The once-grandiose and majestic Phoenix Hall was reduced to rubbles, with the expensive emerald phoenix statue by the entrance suffering heavy damage as well, considering how it had lost its head.“I’m here, Madam Dawson!”Hailey carried herself mee

“Impossible!”Faye regained her balance after stumbling five steps backward.On the contrary, Alex Rockefeller stood as steadfast as ever with his hand still grabbing onto Betty Dawson’s arm.Her husband was a fighter himself, and she knew a thing or two about them. Shock quickly turned into anger.Shaking her arm free from Alex’s grip, Betty glared at Hailey Lawson. “So this is what you are up to, Hailey Lawson! Where did you get the dumb courage to defy the Summers family? I promise you, Hailey Lawson. You are done for, and that goes the same for your husband’s company!”Hailey was on the verge of crying. “This is not how it is, Madam Dawson!”“Why are you so angry, Mrs. Summers? Can’t you speak like a civilized person? Do you want me to teach you the way?” Alex stared at Betty.“What?!” Betty’s chest heaved in anger as the towel wrapped around her body started loosening all of a sudden.She grabbed it before it could fall and furiously exclaimed, “Who gave you permission to

Alex Rockefeller was quicker, instantly putting Faye to sleep with a blow to her neck.“Faye! Faye!”Betty Dawson cried out in surprise, not expecting her bodyguard to be so useless.Dialing a number on her phone, she cried, “Someone hit me and knocked Faye out, darling! Come quick. I am at Belle Blossom!”She then said to Alex after ending the call, “You are not going anywhere!”“Relax, I will be here waiting. Why don’t you bring your husband’s eldest brother along too? I don’t want to do this a second time,” said Alex.“You’re crazy!” Betty roared. Deep down inside, however, she was feeling a little anxious.Alex seemed too calm, and with such extraordinary powers, he was definitely not an ordinary character, Betty thought to herself.Yet, he was so young. What did he do to deserve this?She quickly calmed herself down and went to put on her clothes in the changing room.Hailey Lawson looked mortified as she realized the storm that was coming. It wasn’t something Waylon Rea

Ted Summers was in a full-blown rage, desperately wanting to punish the culprits behind his wife’s mishap.Nobody expected him to kneel down in front of Alex Rockefeller suddenly.It was a shocking turn of events.Betty Dawson’s eyes opened wide in disbelief while Hailey Lawson covered her mouth and let out a loud gasp.The rest of the people looked on in bewilderment.Even Alex Rockefeller was taken aback by surprise.He had no idea who Ted was. “Who are you? Is this how you greet people?”Ted got onto his feet hastily and smiled. “It’s all a misunderstanding, Mr. Rockefeller!”He never intended to kneel down, but his legs gave way out of surprise.After all, Ted was also a free agent of the Divine Constabulary.He had previously witnessed Alex sending a hunk named Steel Tower flying with just one punch at Serenity Villa.Two days ago, he heard from Sky Melvis that this very young man killed Scott Pattingson of Alaska’s Pattingson family. The Pattingsons were enraged and be

Betty Dawson immediately shouted, “Nonsense! This crappy beauty salon is to be blamed for my swellings!”Once again, Ted Summers slapped her across the face. “Shut your mouth! If Mr. Rockefeller said it is an allergic reaction, then an allergic reaction it is! If you talk any more nonsense, I will hit you until you lose your teeth!”Shaking his head, Alex said, “If your swellings were from the products used by the beauty salon, you wouldn’t be suffering this much since the inflammation would be localized. I think you’re allergic to seafood. Did you eat any of those before coming here? Lobsters, crabs, fish, shrimps… didn’t your doctor tell you that you are severely allergic to seafood?”In an attempt to refute Alex’s assessment, Betty vehemently denied that she had consumed any seafood before coming here.Alex poked his finger on her stomach.Instinctively, Betty opened her mouth wide and started throwing up.The vomit was extremely disgusting and reeked of seafood, with pieces o

Andrew never had plans to return to Switzerland.He was still in ecstasy over Alex Rockefeller’s treatment and subsequent cure of his chronic pancreatitis.After a series of tests, the results were surprising, to say the least. He had been completely cured, with all numbers returning to their normal levels. It was astonishing news for an experienced professional in the medical field, one that was also the brain behind several critical breakthroughs.As a professional, he understood the difficulty that came with achieving such feats.Before this, he did not believe in the existence of such a wonderful branch of healing. Until Alex showed him the way, that was.He was just thinking of a way to express his gratitude to Alex when he called.“My dear Rockefeller, who did you hear it from? I am not going home… Oh! I remember now! There is this despicable lady, one of the most unreasonable and obnoxious women I have ever met. I think she is the daughter-in-law of California’s Summers fa

“I consider myself a good masseuse, Mr. Rockefeller. Won’t you give me a chance to show my skills?”“I want to scrub him clean in the bath…”Immediately the ladies crowded around Alex Rockefeller.Some even started touching him.Alex was shocked. No matter how powerful he was, there was no way he could resist the incessant seduction from these ladies. Fortunately, Hailey Lawson promptly came to his rescue.“Okay, okay, hold yourselves, my girls. He has a wife already, sorry!”Hailey led Alex into her office and breathed a sigh of relief after shutting the door. “I owe you so much, Alex. Thank you for today! Here, this check is for you.”Alex eyed her office before replying, “No way. This is the Summers family’s compensation for the damage done to your beauty salon. Why should I take it instead? Moreover, I do not require money.”“Well, your mother needs it! Destroying the Rockefeller Group in three months is no easy feat, and she needs all the money she can get. Without you,

Alex Rockefeller did not accept Charles Carter’s invitation to the dinner.He already had an appointment with Miranda Finn to treat her unspeakable ailment.Also, he felt a deep sense of guilt whenever he saw Charles.Perhaps it was the previous incident where he slept on the same bed as Hailey in Michigan.Or at that time, perhaps he had to cleanse the aphrodisiac drug from Hailey’s body.Or perhaps even the accidental embrace that happened just moments ago.He was surprised to find out that they had so many intimate encounters. It was too risky, he thought. There seemed to be an urge brewing in his body.‘I have got to keep my distance from Hailey.’Alex thought to himself as he dialed Miranda’s number on his phone.He prepared some pills last night. Using his Chi at the same time, it should be an easy job treating her ailment.However, Miranda said, “Oh, my dear Rockefeller, I am so sorry. I am stuck at work. Can we do it tonight? I will call you again later.”Alex agreed
