Chapter 470
On the road, Madame Claire Assex was talking to Alex Rockefeller in excitement. “Alex, I can’t believe you’re Stone Gambling Prince. You’ve kept it a fine secret. With such amazing abilities, you must have started out a long time ago. Why did Dorothy have to work so hard to run a company? Why don’t we go stone gambling later? We’ll earn lots of money. What do you think, my good son-in-law?”All of a sudden, Alex had turned into a good son-in-law.“Mother, I was just lucky that day. Did you really think I was a stone gambling expert? If I were to go stone gambling again, I’m afraid you might not even have pants to wear,” Alex said.When Madame Claire heard this, she felt like a deflated balloon.But quickly, she continued, “What about the jadeite? I don’t believe what you told Mr. Lee. You had moved out for a long time when that happened.”“I sold it,” Alex said.“Where’s the money?” Madame Claire asked.“I gave it to my mother.”“What? Did you give all of it to your mother? Am

Emma and Anderson descended into a complete panic the moment they were handcuffed.They had gone to the Assex villa to stir up trouble, but they never thought that they would be sent to jail!Emma exclaimed, “Are you mistaken? We weren’t robbing the house! That villa belongs to us, is there a problem if we enter our own property?”Tony sneered coldly, “Are you illiterate? Even elementary school kids have common sense, and you don’t? Even if the property’s rights belong to your family, this is still considered robbery. Speak up! Where is the glassy emerald worth a hundred million? Hurry up and hand it over. Otherwise, the only place you’d be staying for the rest of your life is behind bars.”Emma was dumbfounded. “What did you just say? A glassy emerald worth a hundred million?” Claire also put on an act and pointed at Emma. “It’s a glassy emerald that was in our home. You’ve taken it. Hand it over quickly. You won’t be able to afford the consequences anyway.”“Bullsh*t! Your fam

Alex had seen it several times before, but looking at the words after almost a year gave him a completely new feeling. It was as though these carved words emitted a faint, pure, and orthodox energy.Alex couldn’t help but reach out with his Chi to have a feel of it.The very next moment, he almost lost his grip on the necklace. An extremely familiar echo emanated from the pearl, resonating with him.‘Father’s aura!’‘This is definitely Father’s aura. What in the world is going on?’The stunned Alex fixed his gaze on the pearl, his focus entirely trained on the words. A strand of mental power unconsciously shot into it, and in an instant, what he saw completely transformed; the words broke apart and dispersed into countless blood-red runic scriptures. He couldn’t see it clearly, and he couldn’t recognize it either.But what he could be sure of was that these runic scriptures were formed with his father’s blood.He could feel it.This discovery shocked Alex to the core.‘No, n

When Benny got the news that Captain Tony had brought his people, Claire, and everyone else to the Assex residence to arrest Joanne, Emma, and the rest, he rushed back.It was fortunate that he wasn’t far from the house when he received the call, or it would have been too late.When Joanne saw her eldest son, she looked as if she was witnessing the arrival of her savior. She started shouting in a hoarse voice, “Ben, hurry, come save me! I can’t be arrested!”All the tears from the old lady’s eyes started to flow down.She was already of such advanced age. If she were to go to jail, it would bring immense shame to her ancestors. If this were the case, how would they establish a foothold in California?Benny, also acquainted with Tony, hurriedly said, “Captain Tony, my mother is already very old. How could she have gone around to steal things? All these are thanks to my brother and my niece. If you want to arrest someone, then arrest them instead and let my mother go! If anything

An hour later, Joanne had finally taken a bath and had changed into a fresh set of clothes, finally putting her air back on as per usual.“Benny, what should we do now? Can we get Emma and Anderson released?” she asked her son.Benny’s face was gloomy. “This Tony, it used to be easy to talk to him. I don’t know what happened this time, but he carried a tough and strict attitude and hadn’t in him a single degree of tolerance. I sent over a team of lawyers, but it was useless.”He was annoyed too. “Just now, eight security guards from the company got arrested, and it caused a huge scene. It so happened that some of the customers witnessed it, and it caused an impact on them.”“Claire is sticking to her statement that the glassy emerald worth hundreds of millions has been stolen.“The main point here is that idiot Emma actually stole that pearl necklace. It’s solid evidence that can’t be gotten rid of. Surveillance cameras even recorded it, so if Alex and the others really don’t want

Swoosh!Claire, clad in a bikini, dived into the pool like a mermaid, her jade-white legs alternately kicking the water. It was exceptionally accurate. Alex stood by the door, watching her for half a minute with an indifferent look on his face. When it was confirmed she wasn’t going to leave the water any time soon, he quietly retreated.In a flash, he entered the room that Claire had chosen. On the spacious Simmons mattress were some of Clare’s clothes, thrown randomly on it.His sharp eyes glanced around lightning fast, searching for the pearl necklace. He finally found it under a pair of black undergarments.Naturally, he was looking for the necklace to study the secrets the pale, golden pearl held.If those complicated blood-runic scriptures had indeed been laid down by William, then it could be inferred that his father was by no means the ordinary person he had portrayed himself to be, and a mere car accident wouldn’t have been enough to kill him.Then, the culprit r

Alex gave his mother, Brittany a call.After some trivial chats about daily lives, Alex asked, “Mom, do you still remember the pearl necklace that Dad gave me as a greeting gift when I went to Assex Villa to meet Dorothy’s mother for the first time?”Brittany said, “Of course I do. Your father also strung a precious golden pearl in it. The whole necklace is worth at least eight million dollars.”Having said that, she got angry. “Our family has treated your mother-in-law so well, but I couldn’t believe that she’s such a snob! Son, if you’re being mistreated at Assex Villa, then you should really, just divorce! It’s better to just get the pain over with, rather than prolong the agony!”“Don’t worry, Mom. She’s much better now after that incident… Besides, you think she could really do anything to me with my capabilities? If she were to really irritate me, I’ll just give her a big tight slap.”“Tsk, who would believe you!”“Why not? I had beaten her up last time, and Dorothy didn’t

Alex was stunned.From the way Zendaya and himself had met eyes earlier, it was clear that she had been waiting for him. She couldn’t help frowning subtly at the appearance of the young man, but she still put on a smile and said, “Don’t misunderstand, Alan. This is my friend.”The young man named Alan pursed his lips with a disdainful glint in his eyes. He said, “Zendaya, today is an important time for us to duet our performance. Some unimportant individuals shouldn’t just come over and bother you, right? Get him to leave first!”Alan was almost 5.74 feet tall, and his appearance was quite charming and handsome.Alex could tell that Alan had an unusual sort of feelings toward Zendaya, given how different his gaze was when he looked at her. There was nothing wrong with handsome men who loved beautiful women.The main point here was that Alex was over 5.9 feet tall, his facial features and skin quality were far superior than his. Especially, Alex had a peculiar temperament on hi
