Chapter 507
“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

Michelle’s request shocked everyone.Barry’s eyes were widened, and his mouth agape. It was as if he could swallow two eggs whole.Lauren’s cheeks became slightly puffed as she looked at Alex and Dorothy. She felt like this was newfound information and her face filled with glee, hoping for more gossip.The people from Yowell group were stunned as well, staring in disbelief.Although these people were directors of Yowell Group, they weren’t close to the main Yowell family and had no idea who Alex was to the Yowells.Dorothy placed two fingers on Alex’s waist and pinched him harshly.She was starting to get jealous.Alex was petrified in shock. He immediately lectured her in a stern tone. “Michelle, don’t say such nonsense.”He was worried that this brat would expose them for kissing ages ago.If that happens, his life would be ruined for sure.Michelle took a glance at Dorothy, who looked as cold as ice, and smiled cheekily. “I’m just joking! You should’ve seen the look on you

Every woman who came to get a room would say the same.Dorothy was slightly pissed off by his fake smile. He clearly didn’t believe her.Alex immediately turned on his phone and opened a picture from his gallery before slamming his phone onto the counter.Their wedding certificate was shown on the screen.After taking a look, the receptionist replied, “I’ll have you checked in right now.”Right around the same time in the Rockefeller manor, John received a report from one of his bodyguards. “Mr. Rockefeller, we found Brittany.”John’s expression was stern. “Where?”The bodyguard replied. “Maple Villa. Our men are watching her from a distance.”John’s eyes turned cold and evil, looking slightly insane.Spark’s death meant that he had lost his only son. The loss constantly made him feel as if he was about to break down any moment. He just needed to find someone to let out all his pent up anger and frustration.Now that Brittany had been located, he finally found himself a means

With just one punch, the assassin’s face became twisted under his mask. The extremely chilling inner force flowed into his organs as if it was an avalanche.In that very second, he felt as if all his organs were frozen and goosebumps spread all over his body as his legs went weak.“What is this? This isn’t real!”The assassin was so shocked that he yelled out loud. They had investigated thoroughly before the operation. Brittany had just recovered from a coma a month ago so she most definitely shouldn’t have any sort of martial arts training. She should just be a normal woman.However, all he wanted to do now was scream.‘You damn b*tch! You deceived all of us!’The assassin couldn’t defend himself at all. It all happened too quickly. His body was sent flying by the punch, as he spurted blood mid-air.To his horror, he realized that his core was destroyed.The other assassin was in charge of attacking Waltz.This assassin was known for using daggers. He swung one towards Waltz
Chapter 514
Brittany was screaming in panic.Holly rushed over and checked. There was a small wound on Waltz’s shoulder.When Waltz was dodging an attack, she had been scraped by the dagger.Her wound had turned black.“She’s been poisoned! And it’s a very strong one too!” Holly immediately poked on a few of Waltz’s pressure points to slow down the spread of the poison.Picking up the dagger, Holly noticed that it was glistening with blue light. There was a very distinct smell on it as well. She was sure that this dagger had been dipped in poison.“You goddamn bastard! Where’s the cure? Give it to us!” Holly glared at the assassin who hurt Waltz.“Heh, my poison has no cure.” The assassin chuckled coldly.Holly flipped the dagger and swung it towards the assassin, stabbing him on the chest. The wound was merely two inches away from his heart.“Since there’s no cure, then die.”Unexpectedly, the assassin smiled as he looked at Waltz. “To us assassins, failing a mission is no different fro
