Princess Fleur looked bewildered. “Little demon? Where?!”“Right in front of you, it’s looking right into your eyes!” said Alex Rockefeller.He was curious about why he did not freak out since this was his first encounter with something like this. Perhaps, after acquiring the Ultimate Book of Medicine’s wisdom, he gained the experience and knowledge of countless ancestors, as if he experienced it himself. Princess Fleur indeed felt an unknown being stroking her face at the moment.“Argh!”She screamed and leaped onto Alex’s back, clinging onto him as if her life depended on it.Alex felt a soft sensation on his back and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist. For a short while, he thought of succumbing to the temptation.“Lady, I am not your husband. Keep your hands off me.” Alex patted her on the back. Cheekily, it was the same spot where she was injured just previously.Princess Fleur was embarrassed. After a moment of awkwardness, she hurriedly jumped down.Once s
Afterward, Lord Lex Gunther was talking to Alex Rockefeller, with nothing but surprise in his voice. “Just how did you do what you did then, sir?”“I learned it from a wandering gypsy back when I was still in school. It’s really nothing to be proud of, nothing to brag about.” Alex smiled.Lord Lex added, “Sir, you are one-of-a-kind and truly destined to do great things in the future!”“Oh gosh, stop with the flattering.” Alex rolled his eyes.“I was just telling the truth,” replied Lord Lex.As the conversation progressed, Princess Fleur’s name was mentioned. She was also known as Waltz Fleur.Lord Lex had two adopted sons and a daughter. They were Azure Storm, Clay Ember, and Waltz Fleur, also known as Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s main battle force in the underworld—the Three Great Chieftains and they all possessed incredible fighting prowess.“I see.”“Sir, are you interested in Waltz? Should I send her your way?”“No, no, hold on. I am at my wit’s end with my wife, I need
Half an hour later, Alex Rockefeller arrived at Maple Villa in his new BMW M8.The previous wreck was left behind at the dealership.After some inspection, the staff found the main components of the car to be functioning as intended. It was as good as new after some overhaul.Upon Alex’s departure, a small crowd quickly gathered around Chloe Zea, with envy and jealousy plastered all over their faces.“Chloe, you are so lucky today! That is at least a hundred thousand dollars in commission for you!”“Where should I go to meet such a generous man?”“You should keep in touch. He is such a young guy and a handsome one too! If you manage to entice him, your life is set!”Chloe’s eyes twinkled as she started fantasizing.It was two o’clock in the afternoon. California’s West Hill Cemetery.Also the worst cemetery in the state. Run-down and neglected.Alex and his mother, Brittany Rockefeller, stood in front of a desolate tombstone.The founder of the titular Rockefeller Group, wit
Bill Rockefeller had no prior knowledge of Alex and Brittany Rockefeller’s presence.He arrived at six in the evening.Compared to a few days ago where he looked glum and morose after receiving a slap on the face from Lord Lex Gunther, Bill was a completely different man today. He was in high spirits and laughed as he entered the room. “Gavin! What’s up with you? Really rare of you to invite me for a drink, eh!”He then saw Alex standing at the side.His smile faded from his face. “Traitor, what are you doing here?”Bill had the shock of his life the other day and pushed all blame onto Alex, seeing that he was still a good-for-nothing brat.Alex looked straight ahead and remained silent.Instead, Brittany spoke, “Father, Alex is still your grandson. How can you say those things to him?”“Ah! Brittany...You’re alive?”Bill was startled.“Indeed, I am. You don’t seem too happy about this, though?”Returning to his senses, Bill’s expression darkened as he snapped angrily, “The
Alex Rockefeller quickly intercepted and grabbed Bill by the hand mid-air.He glared and sneered. “Old fool, enjoy the last days of standing up. Your happy days are numbered.”Earlier, he observed Bill Rockefeller having a serious case of blocked arteries in his brain. It wouldn’t be long before he would suffer a stroke and become bedridden.To say Bill was mad was an understatement. He left in a rage.Gavin Cole sighed, “I have no idea why he is in such a bad mood. You all are a family, aren’t you? Don’t worry, Brittany. I’ll talk to him.”Brittany remained silent.Brittany and Alex wanted to meet Bill to find out his sentiment, but the response was even worse than expected.Bill did not take the death of William Rockefeller seriously. His attitude toward Brittany and Alex was atrocious. The truth did not matter. All he wanted was for them to leave the Rockefeller family, like trash being swept out of the house.It started drizzling when they left Cole Residence. The autumn
John Rockefeller’s heart leaped hearing the news.But he soon calmed down. “So what if she wakes up? She is now a woman of infamy and has nothing to her name. She is no match for us.”Bill Rockefeller suddenly lowered his voice. “John, Brittany said that she possessed evidence of your corrupt practices and also your ties with the Japanese. Do you think that’s going to be okay?”John snickered. “Father, it happened more than half a year ago. Even if there is something fishy, any trace of it would have been gone by now.”Bill breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. Anyhow, Rockefeller Group can never fall into the hands of Alex, that bastard.”Alex would be disturbed by Bill’s statement.“Don’t worry. It will never happen. Even till his death, William did not even have an inkling who he actually was. That fool! He would never have expected to toil his life away only for his efforts to be seized by others.”It was noon the next day at Assex Manor.Lugging her suitcases along,
Brittany Rockefeller was unconscious and bedridden for more than six months, during which she could only be kept alive with IV fluids.Even as she regained consciousness, it would take time for her to recuperate and recover.With that in mind, Alex Rockefeller wrote a prescription to hasten her recovery process.However, he did not possess a medical license. As such, he was not allowed to obtain the various drugs needed from pharmacies and hospitals alike. Only Cheryl Coney could help. Hence, he dialed her number.Cheryl was at the hospital as they spoke and agreed to it immediately. Plus, she was also very fascinated by Alex’s prescription.Speeding along the streets in his M8, he arrived at the hospital in no time.Cheryl was talking to a family member of a patient in her office. It was pleasing to see her speak in a gentle voice and carry herself so graciously. Dorothy Assex, on the other hand.It had been a long time since Alex felt any warmth from her. Neglect and apathy
Slapped by Dorothy Assex, Alex Rockefeller looked at her in astonishment while Cheryl Coney exclaimed, “How could you hit him!”Dorothy glared at the woman in the doctor’s robe and said, “What’s wrong with it, huh? We are still husband and wife, and you are nothing but a mistress!”A nurse came by then, wanting to see Cheryl, and was quickly distracted by the drama unfolding before her eyes.All she could think of was Cheryl Coney, the granddaughter of California’s Miracle Doctor and the hospital’s star, being somebody else’s mistress.Alex frowned, seeing the nurse’s presence. Hurriedly, he pulled Dorothy aside and said, “Stop talking nonsense. There is nothing between Doctor Coney and me!”Dorothy violently shook her hand. “Get your hands off me! What were you doing, huh? I saw everything!”The scene attracted the attention of a few more nurses.Alex understood the danger if things were left to their own accord. Dragging Dorothy behind him, Alex leaped for the exit. “My apolog
