Charles nodded and waved at Emma and Shermaine. “I think Assex Constructions is not suitable for Waylon Realty, both of you can leave now.”Emma said, “Ain’t you gonna say something, Dorothy? Even though you’re no longer an employee of Assex Constructions, you’re still part of the Assexes. Help me, I’ll pay you ten million dollars if we get the deal.”Dorothy lowered her head and continued with her meal. She was too lazy to even look at her due to the worrying intelligence of that woman.Charles chided, “Get out of here! Do you think you can just get anything from Waylon Realty solely with your connection?” Both women were kicked out of the villa.The door banged shut behind them.Emma was extremely pissed off and her eyes were filled with malice.Shermaine had a gloomy yet regretful expression on her face. If Dorothy had Charles to back her up, she would not have to worry about losing her position as a general manager. However, Shermaine herself would certainly lose her job if

After the dinner, Alex and Dorothy left Maple Villa as Alex had to help Brittany to get an over hundred-year-old ginseng.Along the journey, Dorothy behaved like a curious baby.“How do you know Charles?“How come you are staying at Maple Villa?“Both of you seem to be extraordinarily close!“And, what about this car…”Alex asked with a smile, “I honestly have no idea how to answer you as you threw so many questions to me in one go. In fact, it was because of Zoey. When Zoey was eating mountain hawthorn and it got stuck in her throat, I was just there to help and take it out.”Dorothy asked with a frown, “Is that it? And he gave you such a big villa in return?”Alex said, “Uhmm... we are just staying temporarily. He knew that we had no accommodation when I was kicked out by your mom, hence, so he asked us to move in.”There was nothing wrong with his words. After all, his name was not registered on the property deed.Dorothy said, “It doesn’t seem to be appropriate. Why don’t

Alex smiled and said, “Be patient, I’ll definitely help you get 10% of the company shares and the position of general manager.”Dorothy said with her eyes sparkling, “I don’t need those things. I only need to get back the subsidiary company in City South.” “Sure!”Seeing Alex being endowed with intellect and confidence in handling matters, the gloominess that had lingered inside Dorothy for about half a year started to dissipate a little.She concluded that it was because Brittany finally woke up from her coma.Swiftly, they arrived at Assex Manor.However, they seemed to have judged wrongly.Anderson and Emma did not come to beg for a genuine apology. As Dorothy and Alex arrived at the entrance, they could hear Anderson’s arrogant voice. “Hey Claire, you should be aware that since Henry’s death, you and your daughters have been able to live a comfortable life in such a villa with a housekeeper, it’s all because of generosity by the Assexes.”“But, what has Dorothy done? She r

As soon as Madame Joanne heard his mockery, she wished that she could hurry forward and kill Alex with her walking stick.However, it was a matter of life and death for the Assex family. Thus, she immediately got her eldest son, Benny to pay a Claire visit with her.They finally arrived at the manor about twenty minutes later.As soon as Madame Joanne entered the house, Emma cried as she complained, “Grandma, Dorothy and her trashy husband are simply rubbing salt in the wound! They are jealous of our family’s prosperity and deliberately want to destroy it! That bastard did not only hit me but dad too! He is a brute!”As Emma was just done complaining, Alex landed another slap on her beautiful face before Madame Joanne even managed to express any opinion.“Emma Assex, a woman like you has no right to insult me, Alex Rockefeller,” Alex said indifferently after slapping Emma, “My mother and my wife can lecture me because I willingly allowed them to do so, but you’re not qualified at

“What? You want 100% shares? No way, 70% is the maximum.”“Deal.”“You…?”Alex said with a smile, “Grandma, the contract with Waylon Realty will be presented to you by tomorrow noon. Please get the equity contract of the subsidiary company in City South ready as well. It’s a deal. Goodbye, Grandma. I won’t be sending you off.”After leaving the villa, Madame Joanne lamented loudly while beating her chest and stamping her feet, “Brute! He is such a brute! What have the Assexes done to deserve this!” Meanwhile, inside the villa, Madame Claire asked with a frown, “Are you insane, Dorothy? How could you compare the 70% of subsidiary company shares in City South and the 10% shares from Assex Constructions? The difference is just too much. Also, the position of general manager at the headquarters is much more important. You are losing the big prize while grabbing trifles.”Dorothy shook her head and said, “Mom, it’s not easy to be a general manager in the headquarter. There’s CEO and

Alex put down Claire’s fair, tender feet and said, “I need to answer a call.”Claire shouted, “Why are you in a hurry? It’s just a call! There’s one more foot to go! Well, you’re quite good at massaging.”Alex turned around with an annoyed look. “I’ll wash my hand first.” As soon as he answered the call, Cheryl asked, “Alex, have you gotten the hundred-year-old ginseng?”Alex sighed as he answered, “It’s seriously a rare item. I couldn’t find any even though I’ve searched quite a number of places.” Cheryl said with a smile, “I knew it. I’ve gotten one for you.”“Oh! Seriously?”“Yes, I just happened to see it and then immediately bought it.”“Where are you now? I’ll come over.”“Sure, I’ll send you the address.”After Alex finished the call, he saw Claire with one foot lying on the tea table, hinting that she wanted him to continue with the massage. Alex immediately said, “Dorothy, Mom, I have to go now because I have something to do.”Dorothy asked, “Where are you going?”

“Ahhh--”In a state of shock, Cheryl screamed and even forgot to avoid the blow.Alex immediately wrapped Cheryl in his arms and endured the attack with his back. It was almost instantly that he felt the heavy blow on his back.Bang! Bang! Bang!Three consecutive blows were landed.Not only one man tried to attack them but the other two men did too, with all their might.Without any delay, they continued whacking him with wooden sticks.Cheryl finally regained her focus and realized that Alex was protecting her in his embrace, while he was the one to endure the attacks. Her heart raced and tears were gushing down from her eyes as she heard the loud clunks of the wooden sticks hitting on Alex’s back. However, as she raised her head, she saw the calm and determined look in Alex’s eyes.At that particular moment, the image of his face was rooted in her mind.Snap!One of the wooden sticks was broken.Afterward, someone said, “Enough, don’t kill him.”Under normal circumstances

The leader had a firm attitude. He glared at Alex and refused to utter a word. Alex snapped his finger. “Okay then. Let me see how firm you are. If you can last a minute, I’ll let you guys go.” As the leader’s eyes were filled with bemusement, Alex pressed his finger on his brow. It was imbued with a strange aura. In the next second, the homicide leader grimaced in fear and sweat bullets. A terrifying roar came out from his throat, as if he had encountered the worst suffering and torment in his life. As Cheryl witnessed such a scene, she was dumbfounded and unable to comprehend the situation. Not even a minute — it was just three seconds — the homicide leader fell to the ground with a thud as his will collapsed. “I’ll say! Ahh! I’ll say anything! I beg you, please make it stop! Please spare my life!” Cheryl’s eyes widened in bewilderment. His response was too exaggerated. Was he putting on a joint performance with Alex? Once again, Alex pressed his finger on the l
