“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
The underling fell to the ground, cradling his cheek with a hand and was visibly upset.‘Did I say something wrong?‘But I’m not wrong!‘That’s eighty million we’re talking about here! The budget is forty million too, how could Boss just not want it back?’Alex didn’t want to watch their conflict any further. He nodded and said, “That’ll be all then!”He turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.The underlings were frustrated and confused. The one who was slapped crawled up to his feet and asked, “Boss, why wouldn’t you want the eighty million? If you didn’t want it, you could’ve given it to us!”Smack!The leader slapped him again and kicked him in the gut as well.“Want it? Why in the hell would we want the money? Do you want to live or what? Do you know who he is?“If it weren’t for me, all of us would’ve died right there and then!”Another underling asked, “Boss, who is he?”The leader took a gulp. “You’ve guys heard of what happened back in Valtameri Tower y
As soon as he got home, Alex started making more pills with the stove. When Michelle arrived, he immediately helped her restore her core and aided her… Moreover, he had to help Nathan reform the Golden Crushing Punch.In the end, he was exhausted out of his mind, falling asleep immediately as soon as night fell.Waltz rushed over to him once again, lying down on his bed. Alex didn’t have the energy to chase her out this time, hence he just turned over and hugged her, falling into deep sleep.The next day, Alex was studying the Stake of Exorcism, he wanted to reform it into his secret weapon. However, he received a call from Daya at three in the afternoon.“Alex, my filming team had filmed a few clips for the Lush Cosmetics commercials. Are you free to come over and review them now?” Daya asked nervously.She was hoping to see him again, but she was worried that she’d lose control over herself if she did.‘This is so difficult.‘I know he has a wife, but I can’t help but thin
Daya was already extremely gorgeous on her own.With traditional clothing and makeup on, she was even prettier compared to the concert at the stadium. She looked like an ethereal goddess.All the men stared at her in awe.The guard who had been laughing at Alex earlier, was now drooling just from the sight of her.As for who Daya just called out to...That was not important to them.More importantly, her voice was as perfect as usual.It felt as if she was talking to them in the most loving voice possible.This was because Daya had released her mental power unintentionally.Ellington rushed up to her with his bouquet of flowers, his eyes filled with adoration. “Daya, you’re finally here! I know that today’s your birthday, so I came all the way from Alaska just to wish you a happy birthday. Oh and, since it’s a special day…”He got down on one knee, taking out a diamond ring. “Daya, I love you. And I will keep loving you for eternity. I know you love me too, right?’“Huh?” Da
Realizing that Alex was resisting and refusing to move an inch, Daya clenched her teeth and went on her tiptoes. She kissed Alex hard and passionately.‘Dear god.’More importantly, Alex felt as if he was recalling his past life at that very moment, as if Daya was the past lover he had been looking for all this while.In that moment, all that’s left in his mind was happiness and yearning.All of his rationality disappeared into thin air as he hugged Daya tightly, kissing her back with just as much passion.The two started making out in front of everyone.“Oh my god!” Elena screamed, yet she looked obviously overjoyed.Ellington looked as if his mother just died in front of his eyes. Elena walked up to him and grabbed his hand. “Ellington, Daya really does have a lover. Just look at them go, they must have done this thousands of times in private. It’s obvious that she’s no virgin now. But I’m different, I’m still saving myself for the right person. And I really like you, I’ll b
