Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Alex and Dorothy walk into Thomas’ office.She immediately turned to Ethan. “Baby, what’s happening? What contract is your father signing with Dorothy?”Ethan shook his head. “I’m not sure too. I’m not that familiar with how things work in my dad’s company.”Emma huffed frustratedly. “Dorothy’s damn company used to be one of our subsidiary companies. They’re this close to going bankrupt. If your dad does work with such a small company, he’d run into a lot of problems during the process. You have to convince your dad, or else it’d be too late!”“Uhm… yeah, I know, I know.” Ethan dismissed her remarks, clearly bothered by his father’s expression earlier. He could tell something was amiss.Alex and Dorothy left the CEO’s office after just ten minutes. The contract had been signed successfully.Before they came, Charles had already discussed with Thomas about the details of the contract. They had even settled the terms and conditions be
As the yelling continued, Ethan walked out of the office.Emma rushed over to him. “Baby, this woman said that Dorothy-Alex Constructions had signed the contract for the Five Rings Project. Is that true? Please tell your dad that he shouldn’t! Only Assex Constructions could sign this contract. Didn’t you promise me that? Go, just go in and tell—”Ethan interrupted her. “Emma, please leave. Let’s not see each other ever again.”Emma froze. “What? What did you just say, Ethan?”Ethan turned to the guards. “If she won’t leave, make her.”“Yes, master!”Emma finally realized that he had broken up with her.She was infuriated. “Ethan Hawk, you jerk! Don’t you remember what you promised me in bed last night? You bastard! How could you break your promises? You’re inhumane, go rot in hell!”Suddenly, a guard slapped her hard across the face.“How dare you insult our young master? Do you have a death wish?”“Throw her out now!”Ten minutes later, at Assex Manor.The old lady was in
Claire hated this family.She hated the woman, Madam White, especially, as she would always boast about her son-in-law to the point that it was getting very annoying. Claire clicked her tongue out of frustration. “What are you guys doing here?”Madam White chuckled. “I’m here to look for a nice place to buy, what else? Oh, did you think I’m here just to window-shop like you?”Beatrice huffed. “How would you know if we can afford a villa or not?”Madam White laughed louder. “Of course I do, we’re neighbours after all! How would I not know? I heard that your villa will be taken away by the Assexes, which is probably why you need a new place soon! But do you guys know that villas in Senna Port cost more than ten million? Not just anyone could buy a villa in this area, you know? There’s no way you could use a twenty million dollar fake cheque here.”Madam White’ son-in-law asked, “Twenty million dollar fake cheque?”She cackled and pointed to Alex. “That’s Claire’s son-in-law. He h
Priscilla led them to the models.Madam White was secretly observing them from the other side. She said mockingly, “Young lady, your colleague over there is going to be doing charity work. How could that family ever buy a property? I’m their neighbour, so I know them well. They’re just bluffing so they could seem richer than they really are.”The saleswoman nodded and smiled. “It doesn’t matter, she’s a part-timer anyway! So, Madam White, have you decided on any of the villas here? Would you like me to bring you to the actual site?”“Yes, let’s go!”After looking around the area, the family of three came back to the main hall. Madam White was very excited, she was fond of every single villa in this area.The saleswoman seemed to be excited too. She thought, ‘Thank god I ditched that poor family for these people. Looks like I might actually sell one villa today.’With this thought in mind, she enthusiastically gave them a few suggestions.However, Madam White’ son-in- law repli
Beatrice could feel her ears ringing, it was as if her brain had malfunctioned.Her favourite idol, the one and only Zendaya, had done… that with her brother-in-law. She couldn’t believe it at all.“How could this be?’‘How?’She looked up to look for Alex and noticed that he was looking at the river from the balcony. He wasn’t moving a muscle, it was hard to tell what he was thinking about.She just couldn’t resist herself and rushed over.“What’s up with this? Explain this to me!” Beatrice’s face was twisted as she showed the news article on her phone to Alex.“What’s up with what?” Alex took a glance at her and furrowed his eyebrows. He then took her phone to read the news article.He couldn’t believe what he was reading, it was just too ridiculous.The photo was from last night, a photo of him leaving The Hilton with Zendaya. However, the article was completely false, everything was made up. They claimed that their fingers were intertwined, looking into each other’s eyes l
Zendaya’s team was very efficient.Within half an hour, they released a notice to clarify the rumors. The notice mentioned that they were just visiting a friend, the female news reporter from Sweden.They also clarified that Alex was her bodyguard.With this explanation, everything was cleared up.As a superstar like Zendaya, it was normal for her to have a bodyguard accompany her, especially after the assassins she encountered at the concert.Moreover, the notice included a lawsuit to sue the paparazzi that spread the rumors as well. They had decided to find out who it was and sue them to oblivion.Zendaya was part of the Stoermer family in Michigan, hence she had lots of connections. She was able to find who the paparazzi was. An hour later, the paparazzi admitted to the public that they had fabricated the news and took the photos without permission to spread such rumors for viewership.In just a few moments, this shocking news had died down without difficulty on Zendaya’s end
“What?” Anna stood up abruptly and downed the whole cup of liquor.She shoved the reformed version of Dragon Tusk into her bag and rushed out.A few seconds later, she rushed back in and grabbed Alex by his arm. “Steel Tower is hurt. You’re a miracle doctor, right? Come with me and take a look at him.”Before Alex could even refuse, she dragged him straight into her car and rushed to their temporary base.Slamming the pedal to the metal, Anna rushed off to Serenity Villa.Alex noticed many other Divine Constabulary members this time. He was able to count at least ten or so members. Ted Summers from the Summers family in California was here as well. However, he looked like a mess. He was covered in dust and several injuries.Everyone seemed very upset, visibly worried.Anna had quite the reputation in Divine Constabulary. As she walked over to the manor, many greeted her along the way, referring to her as ‘Tigress’. Alex couldn’t help but think. ‘Did this originate from her agg
Sky immediately rushed up to him. “Alex, is Steel Tower really still alive? Can he still be saved?”Alex replied, “I think so. Please evacuate the room for now. If I try saving him now, we might still have time to bring him back.”Sky knew that Alex was an Immortal Doctor, according to Wallace. Even though he believed that Steel Tower had passed, he decided to let Alex try what he can this time. He immediately ordered everyone to leave so that Alex wouldn’t be disrupted.In just a few minutes, everyone left the room, closing the door shut behind them.They couldn’t help but doubt Alex’s abilities.“Can he really be saved?”“Why am I feeling so anxious?”“I can tell if a person is still alive or not, you know?” Ms. Nanami huffed coldly as she took a glance at Sky before leaving the room.Anna said, “Sky, I think Ms. Nanami is angry.”Sky sighed. “I have to let Alex try no matter what. If Alex said that he could bring him back, I don’t mind if I offend a disciple of Hygieia Vall
