Chapter 503
Beatrice stared at Alex in disbelief.The pianist wore a mask on stage. However, by comparing the two and with the information that Alan provided, she was sure that the pianist was her brother-in-law. ‘He knows how to play the piano and has mastered it!‘Even Alan had to step down for him! But wasn’t he just a loser?‘If he had such skills, why was he willing to slave away for us?’She couldn’t understand at all, but her gaze softened as she continued to stare at Alex. Thinking back to when Zendaya performed ‘Doors Of Fate’ on stage, the emotions she felt made her feel like Alex should break up with her sister and be with Zendaya instead.‘How could he fall in love with someone else? He should be with Zendaya!’Alex, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on in Beatrice’s head.He didn’t expect Beatrice to bump into Alan during the concert, let alone know that Lush Cosmetics would expose his identity as the pianist.“So, Lush Cosmetics was invented by your mother? Ho

Alex surrendered. “No, I won’t. Okay, how about this? A t-shirt and jeans, it’s casual and comfortable.”Even though the outfit was casual, Dorothy was still insanely gorgeous. She looked just like a mortal goddess.It was almost time for them to leave, Alex asked, “Darling, you and Amanda are pretty close, right? How much do you plan on giving as a wedding gift?”Dorothy replied, “Amanda is my bestie! Back when we were still in university, I came down with a high fever. Thank god she helped take care of me, or my brain would’ve been damaged! You have her to thank for being able to marry such a smart wife.”“Really? I didn’t know that.”“You don’t know a lot of things!” Dorothy scrunched up her nose cheekily. With her tight jeans on, she sat on Alex’s lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Amanda doesn’t come from a rich family. I heard her husband is some manager in a company, so I’m really happy for her. I prepared my end, but I think it’s best if we separate our gifts. You’

Alex stared at his old schoolmate coldly, as a storm brewed in his eyes.He knew that he could crush this man’s hand if he wanted to. If he did, the man would never be able to heal from the wound, nor would Alex need to take responsibility for harming him.He had killed twenty people last night, so he was still quite blood-thirsty.Carebear suddenly felt a shiver down his spine as Alex kept glaring at him. It was as if he had been preyed on by an ancient beast. His heart was pounding out of his chest.This man was Barry Carlson and used to be one of Alex’s minions back in university.He came from an average household where his parents operated a boutique. It was enough to provide them a blissful life, but not enough to be considered wealthy. However, looking at him now, it would seem that he had made a slight fortune.Barry was nervous. “What do you think you’re doing? Are you going to fight me here?”Alex let him go, not saying a word.‘Today is a schoolmate’s wedding, it wo

One of their schoolmates was sharp and immediately exclaimed. “Holy sh*t! Aston Martin? That’s a luxury brand! Any one of their cars would cost millions at the very least!”Barry was shocked and rushed over to take a look as well.It was indeed the keys to an Aston Martin.Barry looked back at the couple’s clothes. He was sure that their clothes didn't cost more than a thousand and mocked Alex once more. “You’re a funny guy, Alex. Do you think it’s fun to bribe a valet to bluff in front of us? This is probably the keys to a motorcycle, but you had someone alter it to look like Aston Martin’s car keys, right? I remember seeing such services on Amazon, you can easily imitate any brand!”The valet was enraged. “Bullsh*t! Do you think I’m that easy to bribe? Mr. Rockefeller’s Aston Martin is downstairs! Open your eyes wide and look out the window!”One of their female schoolmates was already at the window and pressed a button from Alex’s Aston Martin keys.After hearing the beep, she

“Oh sh*t! Holy sh*t!” The receptionists gawked.The money was placed in the box neatly. Each bundle was ten thousand dollars, so the twenty bundles summed up to two hundred thousand dollars.It would be normal for a mother-in-law to give two hundred thousand dollars to her daughter-in-law for her wedding.However, as a schoolmate, a two hundred thousand dollar gift was too shocking.The receptionists immediately struck off the words ‘rusty box’ and changed it to two hundred thousand dollars.Barry slowly walked over to their table, his face burning up as if he had just been slapped multiple times across the face.Their schoolmates couldn’t help but ask, “Barry, did you find the box? How much was in it?”Barry couldn’t seem to get any words out of his mouth, stuttering profusely.In the end, the woman with dimples went to the reception to take a look. She yelled out to the table as soon as she rushed back. “Oh my god, Alex! You gave two hundred thousand dollars? I guess Master A

Alex’s eyebrows were furrowed as well. He turned to Dorothy. “I don’t think Amanda would be happy marrying into such a family.”Dorothy sighed. “It’s okay, let’s just endure this! Isn’t society itself cynical? Amanda’s family needs all the help they can get since many of her siblings require money to study. Having such a wealthy husband would at least take this burden off her shoulders.”At the same time, just as Amanda was being dragged into a hotel room, her father-in-law barged in. “Honey, a bunch of our elder relatives have arrived from our hometown. We didn’t include them in the list and there are tens of them! All the tables are full and I don’t think there is any more space left in the hall for another table. What do we do?”Her mother-in-law pondered and said, “Amanda’s schoolmates are sitting at one of the tables. We can just make them give up their table for our relatives.”Amanda protested. “Mom, how could you? Those are my friends who came all this way just to attend my

“Alex, what are you doing here?” Michelle said as she rushed over, surprised. Her eyes were fixated on Alex, as if she couldn’t see anyone else around them, including Dorothy.To her, Dorothy did not deserve Alex one bit. Since they were people of two worlds, she figured they were bound to break up at some point in time.“I’m here to attend the wedding.” Alex replied calmly as he took a glance at the McKellens.Alex had overheard the old lady mention earlier that the directors of Yowell Group were on their way. That was the only reason he was patient enough to sit outside the entrance. Otherwise he would’ve left ages ago. No one in their right mind would be willing to endure such humiliation after all.“You’re here for the wedding too? Do you know the groom?”Michelle dragged Alex’s male schoolmate out of his seat and was about to take a seat next to Alex. However, she realized something was odd. “Wait, this isn’t right, why is the table set in the corner?”When she was pushed

The old lady slapped herself multiple times across the face.Michelle continued to stare at her, but did not change her mind.The commotion at the entrance had caught the attention of many guests in the hall. Relatives, friends and even the youngsters were shocked to see the bossy and arrogant old lady slap herself in front of a young girl. The old lady usually acted as if she was an empress, so this was quite a shock to many.Though some of them did feel slightly satisfied, especially the bride’s family.They knew how prejudiced the groom’s family was towards them, always looking down on and insulting them harshly.Yet, they had to control themselves from clapping and cheering.The old lady was a harsh person in general. She was harsh towards Amanda, but she was harsh towards herself as well. Michelle was still staring at her coldly. Everyone from Yowell Group was watching her as if they were enjoying the show. The old lady immediately started grovelling and kowtowing to Mic
