Alex spent a full half-hour in the bath until his skin was wrinkled from the moisture.He found himself in a predicament.Waltz’s intention was very obvious, the only thing lacking was the words “come onto me” written on her face.However, did he dare to make advances on her?He was conflicted as it was a very difficult decision.As a married man, Alex had yet to sleep with his wife, Dorothy. He was really afraid that he would lose control and slept with Waltz! When the time came, how could he explain it to Dorothy? How could he explain it to Waltz… What if Waltz wanted him to divorce Dorothy and marry her instead…It was indeed a tough decision. Therefore, he deliberately dragged the time out in the bathroom. He thought she would have fallen asleep. To his surprise, she was leaning on the headboard of the bed and playing on her phone.She was wide awake.Seeing Alex with his dripping-wet hairs, she immediately put down her phone and grabbed a hairdryer as she said in excitemen

“Hey, where are you going?”“To reflect on my mistake!”***Alex spent the entire night in the basement.Alex, who was full of energy but had nowhere to vent, went straight to concoct both the Energy Recovery Pill and the pills to alleviate Nathan Pattingson’s damaged energy core.Then, he also managed to concoct a batch of Blood Energy Pills.It was six-thirty in the morning.Deep in her sleep, Waltz was slapped by Alex on her thigh. “Wake up, sleepyhead!”Waltz was still in a drowsy state. “It hurts! Wait, what time is it?”Alex replied, “The Energy Recovery Pill is ready. It can restore your martial arts, do you want it? Otherwise, I’ll give it to Michelle Yowell.”Waltz leaped out of the bed immediately upon hearing Alex’s question. “Yes, yes. I want it, quick, give it to me.”She was rather loud.Nathan Pattingson, who slept a floor beneath, heard everything.He had a habit of waking up early and had been meditating since a while ago. After hearing their conversation,

Claire might have the looks of a goddess, the body of a succubus and the voice of a nightingale.However, Alex knew well that she was just a crazy b*tch with human skin. She would bite you for absolutely no reason, let alone having her makeup ruined by being splashed with a bucket of water.She shouted in anger and raised an arm, swinging her hand towards Emma’s face.A crazy b*tch’s attack really was something else.When Claire swung her hand, her fingers were slightly curled.Slash!Three bloody incisions landed on Emma’s face.Emma dropped the bucket and touched her face only to find her hand covered in blood.Just then, she snapped and started screaming and shouting like a lunatic. “You bitch! How dare you scratch my face? Die!”Emma lunged towards Claire, causing both Dorothy and Beatrice to worry. Just as they were about to help their mother, Claire unexpectedly raised a leg and kicked Emma in the gut harshly. Emma fell to the ground, unable to get up due to the pain.

However, as they took another look at the group, they were shocked.‘How many people are there?’There were so many of them that they couldn’t get all of them into the hall.The guests were appalled.“Where did these guests come from? There are so many of them! Could they be from some big family?”“Looks like the Assex family’s status is higher than we thought!”Listening to such praise, Emma was overjoyed.Benny, however, was pale in the face as soon as he saw the group of people.The leader of the group was someone he knew well, all too well. They saw each other almost every single day.It was his assistant in the company, in charge of managing the company’s business.“Jeremy, what the hell are you doing?”“Why did you bring so many people over? Do you not need to work?” Benny rushed over and scolded them harshly.Everyone was appalled at that moment.This group of people were employees of Assex Constructions, there were hundreds of them. They were crowding up the hall s

“Sis, who are those people? They’re here to cause a scene, right? They’re wearing such red clothes!” Beatrice took a few steps back as she looked at the people in red clothing and odd hairstyles. Dorothy whispered. “They’re definitely trouble.”Claire chuckled coldly. “The old lady used to be so bossy, so she must’ve offended quite a lot of people when she was alive. I’d say that this is her karma—everyone is here to seek revenge as soon as she died.”Unexpectedly, Claire was right this time.These men in red walked in with stern expressions on their faces, pushing anyone that was in their way forcefully.Some even lost balance and fell to the ground.However, looking at their stance, none of them dared to express their anger. The guests could only crawl back up to their feet and watch the situation unfold.“Who are you people?” Anderson stood forward and asked. Since his brother had vomited blood, he had to step up as the old lady’s second son.Suddenly, one of the men in red

Just then, all the employees spoke up. “We’re here to demand for our salaries, not to fight.”Benny felt as if he was about to vomit blood again.Suddenly, Emma pointed in Dorothy’s direction. “All of Assex Constructions’ money is with them. If you want money, take it from them! That woman is Dorothy, she’s an Assex too.”Dorothy’s expression turned cold. “Shameless.”This woman had just said that Dorothy’s family were no longer a part of the family a while ago, yet now she claimed her as family just because she needed a scapegoat.As soon as he saw Dorothy and the others, the leader’s eyes lit up.‘Beauties!’‘What gorgeous women!’He could tell that Emma was trying to find a scapegoat, but it was a rare opportunity for him to meet such beauties. Hence, he decided to approach them with this good excuse.‘I could get one of them to hook up with me if I just approached them!’ he thought.He walked slowly towards Dorothy.Beatrice was panicking. “He’s coming over. What do we d

“What? 60% of our company’s shares? You can dream on!” Emma yelled before Benny could say anything.“How could you be so heartless, Rockefeller?“You even played tricks and stole our subsidiary company in City South from us last time! Changing its name to what, Dorothy-Alex Constructions? Absolutely disgusting! Shameless! And now you want 60% of our shares? That just means that you want to take over Assex Constructions! Do you really think you deserve that?“You’re probably still dreaming. Do you think we’d sell more than half of Assex Constructions to you for forty million?”Alex was not triggered by any of Emma’s questions and insults.He said calmly, “I’m just offering a trade, now it’s up to you to take it or not. But I heard that you took this money from loan sharks. If you don’t pay it back now, the interests would just keep building up with time. Wouldn’t that be a shame then? If you were to stall another few days, even I wouldn’t be able to help you either.”The leader wa

In the end, Benny had to nod sadly as he took up Alex’s offer.He knew just how bad of a situation Assex Constructions was in right now. The bank loans were still on hold, hence they couldn’t pay any of their employees. Moreover, some of their important projects were facing various problems. They wouldn’t last a month if this went on. They’d go bankrupt.However, if Dorothy took over the company, the large projects she was handling now would most likely help their company get through this.The 30% of shares that the Assexes would hold was the best profitable option they had now.Dorothy pulled Alex aside, whispering. “Hubby, where would we find eighty million to pay them back? All of the projects at hand need money to keep operating. We would have twenty million of working capital at most.”Alex smiled and leaned forward, whispering into her ear. “Don’t worry, we won’t have to pay a single penny.”“Huh?”“I have my ways.”Benny immediately had someone print out the contract a
