“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

“Alex, do you think we’ll acquire the subsidiary company shares in City South without a hitch?” Dorothy’s heart was filled with daunting anticipation.While patting on the briefcase, which he carried with him, Alex said, “Rest assured, I promise.”The contract that had been signed by Waylon Realty earlier was placed inside the briefcase.Dorothy grinned from ear to ear as her beautiful eyes opened a sliver.In that instant, Alex was a little stunned.After all, it had been a very long time since Dorothy let out such a joyful laughter in front of him.He suddenly drew closer. After reaching out to clasp her hand, he said, “Dorothy, thank you for all your support during this period of time. From now on, I won't let you bear such a heavy burden by yourself. I’ll help you to share the burden so that you don't have to suffer anymore.”As Dorothy felt the sincerity in his grip, a gush of sorrow filled her and she wanted to cry.“It’s fine, as long as you know that.”After a pause, s

“.....”Benny also let out a laugh. “Dorothy, do you really think that Assex Constructions will transfer 70% of the subsidiary company shares in City South to you? You’re too naive. Keep on dreaming.”“What?” Dorothy exclaimed in surprise, “This contract is fake?”Madame Joanne cackled like a hen. “Of course, it’s fake. The Assex family doesn’t need ungrateful people like you. Dorothy, you’re overambitious. How dare you try to dominate the subsidiary company in City South? What qualification do you have? Who gave you the courage to do so? This trash who’s standing beside you? From now on, your family line is no longer part of the Assexes. You are expelled from the Assexes.”“What? Grandma, how could you break your promise?” Dorothy was on the verge of tears.Madame Joanne said, “Why should I keep my promise when dealing with shameless and despicable people like you? You’re unworthy of being a member of the Assexs.”Emma chided, “We don't welcome you both, so you can get out of he

“What? This loser signed it?”“How could he, of all people, have such power?” “How could he sign this contract when no one else could?”The Assexes couldn’t believe what they were hearing.Alex checked the time and said, “Five minutes have passed. You still have ten minutes… Also, I could sign this and you can’t because Charles Carter owes me a favor.”Emma immediately started yelling. “There’s no way! Stop trying to bluff your way out of this! Who do you think you are anyway? You’re a shame to the Rockefellers. Your parents betrayed our country, so you’re no better than a street rat. If you haven’t been sucking up to Dorothy, your mom would’ve died ages ago! And you would have starved to death too. So, who do you think you are, huh? As if Charles Carter could ever owe you a favor. You’re overestimating your worth…” With a cold gaze, Alex lunged towards Emma and grabbed her by the hair. He then smashed her head onto the table.Emma’s front teeth were knocked out and her nose s

The old lady huffed. “You idiot. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”Benny explained. “The CEO of Waylon Realty, Mr. Carter actually lent a hand to Alex just to help Dorothy get the branch from City South. This means that they are quite close. If it was Dorothy who signed it, she might’ve just used her body to persuade him. But if Alex did it, then it could have been for a different reason. It could be that William Rockefeller had worked with Charles Carter when he was still alive. If we use their relationship, the Assex family would be better able to work with Waylon Realty.”Meanwhile, Dorothy had just gotten into their car. “Grandma’s sudden change in attitude was most likely due to your relationship with Mr. Carter. They’ll want to work with Mr. Carter through you as a way to improve their partnership.Alex huffed. “She can dream on. Now that you have full control over the branch in City South, you’ll be able to expand this business to its full potential… I know it’s best to no
