Lady Beatrice Assex saw that her sister had returned, and a divorce certificate was on the coffee table.Lady Beatrice had mixed feelings when she saw the paper.Yesterday, Madame Claire Assex had used a knife and forced Lady Dorothy to get a divorce. Lady Beatrice had also sided with her mother then. And now, although the divorce actually went through, she wasn’t happy at all. Lady Beatrice couldn’t erase the image of Alex Rockefeller willfully stabbing his own stomach from her mind.She couldn’t forget the scene, the look in Alex’s eyes, and the sorrowful manner he coughed up blood.All of these were permanently imprinted on her mind.She would never forget those images in this lifetime.Suddenly, Lady Beatrice thought of the masked man… For some reason, she felt that Alex gave off a similar vibe during the incident. Could the masked man really be Alex?After this thought occurred to her, Lady Beatrice felt as if she was possessed. She couldn’t shake the thought away.“Mom, w
When Alex Rockefeller received this call, he was stunned for a moment.Having been with Lady Dorothy Assex all day today, he hadn't been bothered about what was happening outside, completely unaware of Daya Stoermer’s announcement of her showbiz retirement.“Where are you going?” Alex asked.“Away from California,” Daya replied.Alex fell into silence.In fact, he had subconsciously renounced his urge to mess with other women after making things right with Lady Dorothy Assex. His relationship with Daya was still a little unclear, though. It felt more like a fantasy that occurred after their spiritual powers resonated with each other.It was a bit of a stretch to say that he had really fallen in love with Daya.Between Daya and Lady Dorothy, he would definitely choose Lady Dorothy.They had gone through so much together, including challenges that put their lives at risk, as well as mixed feelings of love and hatred.However, when Daya said she wanted to see him for the last tim
Alex Rockefeller laughed dryly, "Of course, you are… Way more beautiful,” he said.Daya Stoermer sat down elegantly. “This time, I caused you and me to have a scandal. I’m truly sorry. Did your wife misunderstand anything after that?”Alex sighed a little. “We got divorced today.”Upon saying that, Alex wanted to slap himself again.‘What the heck? This foul mouth of mine! Why did I say that?’ Alex thought.Daya’s eyes immediately lit up, and her heart raced. It was as though she saw a glimmer of hope… She didn’t want to miss this fated opportunity. They were destined to be together!How could she miss this chance?“Was it because of me?” She leaned over and asked softly.“Not entirely,” replied Alex.“I’ve heard a little bit about you guys. The Assex family doesn’t seem to treat you well. I heard that Lady Dorothy’s mother makes things difficult for you, and she thinks of you as a thorn in the flesh. In the past, she treated you like a nanny…” Daya said.Alex waved his hand.
Admittedly, Chloe Marionette had nearly died after getting beaten up by Heath Accordo.In fact, she had personally witnessed how terrifying Alex Rockefeller’s moves were.She should have learned from such an experience, knowing when to back off and stop messing with Alex. However, the man in her arms was no ordinary person. He was Mr. Coleman, a member of one of California’s four largest families!Mr. Coleman was a powerful martial artist in his own right, and he was way tougher than that coward, Heath Accardo. Last night, Chloe found out from a friend that Heath had died for some unknown reason.That coward deserved to die!With Mr. Coleman here, there was no reason for Chloe to be afraid!The full name of the man in Chloe’s arms, Mr. Coleman, was Sven Coleman. His eyes instantly darted between Alex and Daya Stoermer.He noticed that Daya was wearing a hat and a mask at night, with only her eyes showing. However, her pupils seemed lively and her skin fair. Moreover, her figure
“Huh?!” The owner of the cruise ship immediately shouted in surprise. Even his cheeks trembled in fear.The Coleman family ranked second among the four most influential families in California. How could a lowly owner of a cruise ship like him afford to offend someone from such a background? A single sentence was enough to ruin his business in California. In fact, he might not even live to see tomorrow.The owner got up and very hastily apologized. “I’m sorry. I’m terribly sorry! I didn’t know it was Mr. Coleman that had come here. I deserve to die. I shouldn’t have interfered!”“Get lost!”The owner quickly ran off.He didn’t even want to manage the cruise ship anymore.Alex Rockefeller looked calmly at Chloe Marionette. “Looks like you haven’t learned your lesson. Wasn’t it nice just staying at home? Why must you be out and about, ruining the lives of others? Look, now this Coleman guy and a bunch of trash had to all eat poop because of you.”“F*ck!” Sven Coleman shouted angril
Sven and Chloe Marionette were shocked. Something had to be wrong with the heads of those three guys, right?Why did they suddenly go nuts? Did they really go to the toilet and found some shit to eat?Even Alex was surprised, and he had to give Zendaya a double-take.His hearing was excellent, and he could clearly hear what went on in the toilet among the three. It was easy enough to tell that they were actually really eating something!Such was the extent of Zendaya’s mental powers.Sven was stunned, his jaw slacked. He had a broken arm, but his legs were fine. He immediately rushed forward to see for himself. When he did, he was sickened at the sight…“Blargh!!!”Sven’s face turned green, and he ran out to throw up.When he saw Alex and Zendaya walking toward him, an inexplicable fear welled up within, especially when he saw Zendaya’s all-wrapped-up face. It gave out a mysterious and terrifying vibe… It was this very woman who had simply muttered a few words, and his brothe
“Now that you have such strong mental power, you should be able to protect yourself easily if you encounter any ordinary gangster. I can be assured right now.” Alex said in a sincere voice. They stood on the deck, where a gentle breeze blew, and the soft sound of the lake’s running water could be heard.Zendaya said nothing, merely peering silently into the dark waters of Willow Lake.After a long time, she finally said in a quiet voice, “Even if I had a thousand abilities, what’s the use? I still can’t get rid of the shackles of fate, and I still can’t love anyone. Even if I stood above all living beings, I’d still have to endure the emptiness and loneliness. Do you understand how I feel now, ‘lex?”Alex felt a little embarrassed and awkward, and he couldn’t answer.Zendaya was well aware of it too, and she didn’t force him.If he couldn’t hide from the world with her, he would have to bear the brunt of Michigan’s Stoermer family and Missouri’s Coleman family. It was something
The winds were calm, and the sky was moonless. Even the bustling lights on the shore seemed so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.When Alex opened his eyes, Zendaya had already left.Though the beautiful woman was gone, her fragrance still lingered in the air. There seemed to be a haunting song in his ear, playing itself on repeat.“Since ancient times, passion has been mistaken ruthlessly as yearning for love,How strange the lasting summer heat and cold winters have become through the years,Three stones, three roads, three lifetimes of life and dust returning to earth,But yearning is not to be defeated, and when I see you again, I hope we’ll be as we were,Like a beautiful flower cared for, a life without you is just a fleeting waste...”While Zendaya was singing this song, he was still in a confused state. Though his mind was still in a daze, he saw Zendaya leaving and how reluctant she was to leave his side.But at this moment, this tune seemed to have en
