The two of them entered the basement.Alex Rockefeller woke Granny Blackwood with a direct kick.“Tell me. Who sent you to harm Madame Claire, Lady Dorothy, and me?” Alex asked.Splat!The old woman spat a mouthful of saliva at Waltz Fleur.Waltz, however, easily avoided it.Waltz knew early on that this old woman was peculiar, one that could inflict a person with parasitic diseases. The old woman probably possessed countless poisonous items. After dodging the spit, Waltz directly picked up a long wooden stick and started hitting the old woman.Wham! Wham! Wham!Granny Blackwood cried out in pain right away.Waltz showed no mercy. She went for Granny Blackwood’s weakest spots that would induce the greatest amount of pain.All women had similar weak-spots on their bodies. It didn’t matter if one was old or young; the pain would still be unbearable.“If you don’t tell me, I’ll beat you until you die,” Waltz said.Wham! Wham! Wham!Granny Blackwood’s limbs were all tied up. S
Seeing Lady Dorothy Assex alive and well, Lady Emma Assex was stunned.“You… Weren’t you poisoned with the parasitic disease and couldn’t wake up?” Lady Emma blurted out in surprise.Realizing that she had spoken out of turn, she quickly covered her mouth, not daring to go on.Benny Assex and Madame Joanne were equally surprised, and the expressions on their faces changed dramatically.If Lady Dorothy was fine, how could they proceed with their plan?“Ms. Assex, are all alright? They… What did they mean? Did you really sell Dorothy-Alex Constructions to Assex Construction again?” The secretary covered her face, taken aback, furious, and confused.Lady Dorothy’s gaze turned cold. “Do not listen to these people’s bullshit. They’re just daydreaming,” she sneered.Her eyes were cold and stern. One by one, she stared coldly at each member of the Assex family.Alex Rockefeller had called to tell her that the one who inflicted the disease on her family had been hired by the Assex fami
“Mmphhh...”“Shut up!”Slap!!!Alex Rockefeller grabbed Lady Emma Assex by her hair and slapped her.“Who asked you to spew nonsense?”Slap!“What did the doctor say to you? My wife came home after a short visit to the hospital. The doctor didn’t even know what parasitic diseases were. Are you the only one who can predict the future?”Slap!“Who gave you the courage to come to our company and snatch out things away? Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to do all this?”After several slaps, Lady Emma’s face had swelled up like a pig’s head. Blood was splattered in all directions.Alex moved so fast that nobody from the Assex family could react in time.Even if Anderson Assex did react in time, he didn’t dare speak up for his daughter.That was because he was truly afraid of Alex, afraid that he might cause undue problems to himself once he stepped forward.“Jenny, this woman slapped you earlier. You can slap her back now,” Alex said to Lady Dorothy Assex’s secre
“Mom, Mom. What happened to you?”“D*mn it. What did you do to my mother?”When Benny and Anderson Assex saw their mother had passed out on the floor, they immediately panicked. Quickly, they picked her up. Enraged, Anderson even shoved Granny Blackwood.Benny was horrified, and quickly, he restrained Anderson from going any further.Benny had heard from Madame Joanne that Granny Blackwood was a terrifying person. Her body was supposedly covered in poison, and she could inflict parasitic diseases on anyone without even making a sound.Hence, Benny knew Granny Blackwood must have done something to his mother. He also didn’t dare hit her. There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and people would see that Granny Blackwood didn’t even do anything to Madame Joanne from its footage. There was nothing to accuse her of.Alex Rockefeller frowned a little.He had asked Granny Blackwood to put Madame Joanne in a coma without being obvious about it, not expecting her to act right away an
Alex Rockefeller hugged his wife as if hugging a ball of flame.Without saying another word, he picked Lady Dorothy Assex up.***“Argh!”After the Assex family had left, they quickly sent Madame Joanne to the hospital.While driving, Benny Assex started going crazy, banging his hands against the steering wheel.Anderson and Lady Emma Assex were so terrified they couldn’t speak.“Brother, what… What are you doing?” Anderson asked.Screech!!!Benny suddenly stopped the car in the middle of the road and slapped Anderson across his face. “All of this happened because of you and your daughter! You two losers! D*mn it! Resources spent on you two are a waste. You bring nothing to the table and cause trouble all the time.”Anderson became enraged too. “Brother, what does this have to do with Emma and me?” he protested.“It’s all because your daughter wants to take over Lady Dorothy’s Dorothy-Alex Constructions, isn’t it? If that weren’t the case, Dorothy-Assex Constructions wouldn’
Three minutes later, it finally got better.The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out in laughter.Although a failed experience... it had at least served to enhance and deepen the bond between husband and wife.“Go and take a bath! I’ll wait for you, and I’ll get you a set of clothes,” Dorothy said as she rinsed her mouth. She had thrown up everything she had eaten in the morning.Her bathroom came with an attached shower room, so it wasn’t a big deal to take a bath here.Alex was exasperated. “Alright. Go and come back quickly, then.”Seeing the look of disappointment on his face, Dorothy couldn’t help but feel a little sorry. She whispered, “Okay, don’t look so sullen. I promise it won’t be like this the next time… It must be because we didn’t choose an appropriate location.”“If you say so.”“Yes, I said so… But you have to guarantee that you won’t hook up with that Cheryl woman behind me.”Alex was speechless. “There’s nothing going on between Cheryl and me.”Do
Simon grabbed Benny by his hair, his voice vicious. “All of my money, including the interest of 40 million. If I don’t see it today, then I’ll take one of your hands.”Benny trembled in shock and fear.In the meantime, upon hearing the commotion, Madam Joanne and Anderson rushed in. “What’s going on? What are you guys doing?!”“Which hole have you gangsters crawled out from? How dare you come to my Assex Constructions to make trouble? Do you know what the consequences are? Get out, all of you!” Madam Joanne bellowed at the top of her voice, holding her crutches. Seeing a bald man hitting her son, she got even angrier.Relying on the fact that she was a senior and that these people would be too afraid to hit her, she raised her cane and hit the bald man.Thwack!A bump and bruise appeared on the bald man’s head.Benny was startled. “Mother, leave it. I will…”Before he could finish his sentence, Simon had grabbed Madam Joanne by her hair, slamming her head onto the table.T
“What?!” Dorothy and Alex were startled when they heard Chen Jing’s words.Especially Alex. He thought to himself, ‘Could the poison Granny Blackwood administered have been too strong, and it ended up killing her in one shot?’However, Dorothy was quick to ask, “How did she die?”“I heard that she was killed on the scene by a gangster. The ringleader is a loan shark who gives out loans at a high-interest rate. Benny borrowed 40 million from them, and somehow, some conflict broke out in his office.”Assex Construction and Dorothy-Alex Construction used to be under the same umbrella, and Chen Jing still had friends over there. As soon as the incident took place, her friend had immediately called and told her about it.After Dorothy heard that, she was silent for a long time.Even though the old lady had treated her unjustly and had even wanted to conspire against her entire family, she was still her blood-related grandmother after all. She had been alive and kicking, being her do
