Alex was stunned. He looked at her and laughed as he said, “Are you kidding me?” Xyla shook her head. “Of course, I’m not. I’m very serious about it.” Alex still felt that it was unrealistic to let the daughter of the Stoermers’s patriarch of Michigan to be his secretary. Aside from the entanglement between him and Daya, his brother, Kazim would never agree with this. However, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh seeing the entirely different attitudes of these siblings when they got along with themselves. Alex shook his head. “This isn’t an urgent matter. Let’s talk about this in the future.” Xyla nodded and looked toward the venue of the wake. “Today is indeed not a suitable day. I’m just afraid that you might have found someone better.” Alex's eyes suddenly glistened. That was not what he had in mind. The engagement banquet between Daya and Tristan would be held in another three days. Daya had drugged his wine and forced herself upon him. Now she even tried to turn hi
The curtain of life for this powerful man had fallen. The rest was left for his descendants, to tell the merits and demerits of his stories. Lord Lex had another godson named Clay Ember, yet he had never been able to contact him. Hence, this was possibly the only regret he had in life.“Waltz, take it easy. Death is inevitable for human beings!” Alex felt slightly heartbroken after seeing Waltz’s haggard face, with heavy dark circles under her eyes.Waltz flung herself into his embrace and sobbed. “Godfather didn’t have to die. It was all my fault. If only I didn’t go to your room that night…”Alex put a finger to her lips. “No, don’t blame yourself. If anything, I should be the one to take the blame. I insisted on participating in the SCBA Battles. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to deal with so much stuff later on.”Waltz was still tearing up, but she didn’t forget to defend him. “No, that’s not it. If it weren’t for you, Godfather would’ve died under the hands of that guy hired by
‘What? This isn’t possible!’Suzaku was lying on the sofa, with one of her long legs hanging off the sofa’s back. There was a slap mark on her left cheek, but all she could feel now was sheer disbelief.According to the data from her investigation, Alex had no cultivation in martial arts at all. He was just a down-and-out rich heir who only managed to survive this far by relying on his wife in the past year.‘How could he be so terrifyingly good at fighting?’‘It must have been a hallucination!’Suzaku forcibly clamped and kicked her long leg, lifting her whole body like a spring. Then, she stepped onto the sofa’s back with her left leg and lunged toward Alex with a great speed, as if she were an arrow.She refused to believe any of this!However, the reality was much crueler than she had imagined.Alex landed another slap on her face.Despite her extremely fast speed, Alex was still able to aim precisely for her face. A firework-like explosion sounded as the slap landed on he
However, he didn’t like this taste of wine very much.After that, he grabbed Suzaku by the hair and lifted her head. He turned the wine bottle upside down, pouring the rest of the red wine all over her face.Suzaku was on the verge of going insane. She had never been treated like this in her life, especially ever since she had officially become one of the Four Great Princesses. Never would she have imagined such humiliation on herself, yet she was able to experience it thoroughly today.Alex then asked, “Tell me, who sent you here?”Suzaku clenched her teeth, not saying a word.As a result, a fabric ripping sound was heard. Alex grabbed onto the back of her shirt and ripped it forcibly.“Ah!” Suzaku screamed, “You… you brute! You’re shameless!”Alex smiled slyly. “Oh, really? You can’t even stand this? Then , let’s have some more fun. I remember I seem to have that kind of drug and a camera too. Mhm, that’s great! When the time comes, we can film a little video together and I’ll
“Suzaku, how’s it going? Is that punk dead yet? Your work efficiency is getting lower these days!”On the phone, Tristan gave Suzaku an average lecture.Suzaku felt emotional. After taking a glance at Alex, she said, “Master Tristan, I’m sorry. I can’t do this for you anymore!”“What did you say? Repeat yourself!”“My master has summoned me in advance to help him warm his bed, I can’t disobey him. Master Tristan, I’m doing this for your own good. Otherwise, my master will turn you into a eunuch.”Boom!Tristan was about to explode in anger. After pausing for a brief while, he yelled, “Tell me who that Master Rockefeller is, I’ll go over and kill him now!”“No, don’t, you won’t be able to defeat him.”“Bullsh*t! I’m Tristan Coleman of Missouri, the youngest Earth expert in America. I’m the future king of Missouri! How could I not…”Toot! Toot! Toot!The phone call was cut off as Tristan spoke halfway.He stared at his phone blankly.An unprecedented anger and frustration wel
Suzaku wished dearly she could bite Alex to death, but she knew well that her martial arts were ruined. Even if her martial arts weren’t ruined, she would never be able to lay a finger on this b*stard.“Oh right, make some supper for me and place it on the dining table. I’d like to have it after shower.” Alex reminded. “If you fail to make something good, my pill is always here to go down your throat. Don’t you dare try to escape too, the seal I made on you has a hidden function. Even if you were to escape to the edge of the world, I can still find you.”With that, he went back to his room, preparing to shower.Suzaku trembled with rage. Her whole body hurt, especially her behind. It felt as if it was burning.Her cheeks hurt as well, she couldn’t help but hiss whenever she tried to touch her face.She rushed to the washroom on the first floor, staring at her reflection in the mirror for a few minutes. The more she looked at herself, the angrier she was.However, she felt a sense
Gulp! Gulp!Suzaku felt like crying. She suppressed the nauseating feeling and forced herself to eat the whole bowl of seafood noodles with silk stocking flavor that she had made, drinking all of the broth.It was because Alex had warned her earlier. If she failed to finish it, not only would he feed her the pill, but he would also strip her naked and leave her hanging at a footbridge.She felt that this b*stard was definitely not all talk.Seeing his cruel and fierce means of handling matters, he might actually do such immoral things.After finishing the noodles, she burped from the fullness.She felt as if her breath was filled with the sour stench of her stocking.“Was it good?” Alex asked as he looked at her.“Yeah… It’s good,” Suzaku covered her mouth as she replied, fearing that she couldn’t hold it and puke.Alex shook his head lightly. “The Colemans of Missouri have such strange acquired tastes. You actually like this kind of seafood noodles with stocking flavor? Did T
The manor was ecstatically grand.The towering front door alone was at seven or eight meters tall and twenty meters wide.Knock! Knock! Knock!Tristan knocked loudly on the door.Soon after, the door was then pulled open from the inside. Two yawning disciples of the Coleman family appeared at the entrance. Seeing Tristan, they immediately awoke feeling refreshed, with reverence and cautiousness in their eyes. Both of them shouted, “Welcome, Master Tristan!”“Master Tristan, what brings you back here? Didn’t you go to Michigan?”“The trip must’ve been tiring, Master Tristan. Is there anything you’d like us to help you with?”Tristan was in a fairly foul mood, he pushed the two aside harshly and said coldly, “Why are you being so nosy? Get lost.”The two disciples of the Colemans, who were pushed by Tristan, only came to a halt after taking five or six steps back. They stared at Tristan who was rushing into the manor, but they didn’t dare to get mad one bit. Until Tristan disap
