Chapter 768
Alex paused and said, “Alright, I’ll be there in a bit.”He figured that he could bring Sharpay’s proposal to Michigan since he had to head over soon. He would then be able to show it to Maya and Brittany, who were geniuses in managing a business.***At the same time, Claire was sitting in the passenger’s seat of a BMW, heading towards City Salon.The one driving was a rich woman, Eloise Parkinton. She was Claire’s ex-classmate.Since Eloise’s husband was managing a health and nutrition centre, they were quite rich within California as well. She found out about the scar on Claire’s face, so she wanted to bring her to City Salon to see if anything would help.“Claire, you’re the prettiest among our classmates, so wouldn’t it just be a shame for you to have a scar on your face? Let me tell you, the owner of City Salon is a very powerful figure! I heard that even Lord Lex had to bow down to him! The products that he had invented are definitely of good quality. Many wish they coul

Claire pointed at the bottle, still visibly shocked. “Eloise, are you sure that your scar healed by using this? Did you use some other scar removing product while trying this out?”She just couldn’t believe it.She instinctively hated and refused to use Lush Cosmetics. It was run by Alex’s family after all.Claire didn’t like Brittany as well. In fact, she hated her.So it was almost impossible that she’d like Lush Cosmetics.She convinced herself that Lush Cosmetics was a trashy, unqualified line of products, definite to cause problems to the skin later on. So she was sure that Lush Cosmetics would end up closing down and Alex’s family would have to bear the consequences.Eloise, on the other hand, had no idea what she was thinking. She smiled and said, “Of course! I’m 100% sure! You have no idea how many times I’ve tried surgical methods to remove this scar. I’ve been to Japan, Korea and Europe to seek help! Yet none of my surgeries worked. The most famous skin specialist told

Claire just wanted to stomp her feet out of frustration.She might have been able to convince herself that Lush Cosmetics was nothing special, but City Salon was a different case. It was much more of a shocker to her.This place looked extremely luxurious, it was possibly even more luxurious than ancient castles.When she walked in, she felt as if she was living in a dream.However, this place was owned by Alex.Despite hearing Val’s words, she didn’t dare to utter a word. She didn’t even care that she had been insulted as heartless and blind.This was the first time Eloise had heard this, so she was fairly interested. Hugging Val’s arm, she said, “Wait, really? What happened? Give us some details here!”There were many different versions of this story, hence Val told hers.It was clear that the mother-in-law of said story was being bashed to the extreme. She was described as a foolish, hot-tempered and heartless b*tch.Claire felt as if her teeth were going to break from cl

Alex was indeed walking along the hall outside the room.However, he wasn’t alone—there were two women next to him.One was Sharpay whereas the other was Hailey.Hailey found out that he was still in California. She decided to call him up to treat him to lunch, so they agreed to meet up at the salon. Hailey was smiling. “Brother, the scar removing cream that you invented is way too effective! I’ll bet that this product would be much more successful than the previous two. I just found some good customers who had scars to try it out and it’s already become quite a sensation online! I’ve received hundreds of texts from people trying to get their hands on that product!”Alex already knew that the development of the scar removing cream was a success since he last visited. That was why he decided to send some to City Salon.But, he never expected it to be this popular.Surprised, he said, “I thought the scar removing cream wouldn’t have that wide of a market.”Hailey shook her head.

Claire’s expression darkened. “He’s my son-in-law.”“What?”Eloise froze, staring at her in disbelief. She had never met Alex before, but she’s listened to Claire complain about him enough times to perceive him as a complete loser. ‘How could that loser be the same person as this dashing young man?’Moreover, she had heard many rumours about Alex from others.This made her more reluctant to believe this. She thought Claire had mistook Alex as someone else, so she apologized profusely. “Sorry, sorry. My friend just thought you were someone else.”She tried dragging Claire back into the room.However, Claire wouldn’t budge and pushed Eloise aside harshly. Due to her strength, Eloise lost her balance and almost fell. If it weren’t for Val, she would’ve definitely stumbled over.Eloise was enraged by her actions.‘What is this damned woman doing? I’m just trying to help but she pushed me! Does she think she could afford to provoke this man? Lord Lex had to bow down to him! It’s

But the one who slapped her wasn’t Alex, it was Hailey.She disliked this woman ever since she’s heard about her. In fact, she would insult Claire behind her back multiple times. She really didn’t expect her to be so shameless as to bully Alex even after the divorce. ‘To think this woman wants to take City Salon away from him too. Well, she can dream on!’Hailey was fuming as she shouted at Claire. “Do you have no shame? What are you thinking? How dare you try to take City Salon?”Alex stared at Claire coldly.If it weren't for Doorthy’s sake, he would’ve slapped her long ago.He really had not seen any woman this shameless.Claire yelled. “You stupid b*tch, how dare you slap—”Smack!Hailey slapped her once more.“If you dare insult me any further, I will have the security guards beat you up. Don’t believe me? Try me then.”Claire opened her mouth, but no words came out. She still didn’t dare to go against Hailey.Claire was very biased: she feared the strong but bullie

Claire fell on her behind out of shock.She was appalled after hearing Hailey’s words. All she could think of were the words ‘100 billion’, ‘richest woman in California’ and ‘richest woman in the world’.However, all these words were just mere dreams, vanishing in front of her eyes.She thumped her fist to her chest, regretting her actions greatly.Eloise, on the other hand, was shocked to her core. She couldn’t help but scold Claire inside her head.‘She used to be so smart back when we were classmates, yet now she just has the IQ of a rock.‘How could she not want such a good son-in-law? Is she trying to get God to become her son-in-law or something?’She was shocked and disappointed at the same time.‘If Alex was still Claire’s son-in-law, our friendship could have helped bring our business to newer heights, yet…’Just then, a gorgeous and alluring woman walked into the salon. She looked as if she was a beautiful woman who came out of an ancient painting.Her aura was inte

Thud.Claire fell back to the ground again. This time, it wasn’t out of shock nor disappointment, it was out of fear.Money had blinded her thoughts a while ago. However, with Waltz’s cruel words, she was able to snap back to reality.She finally realized that this woman in front of her was the CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. This woman could easily have someone drown their whole family as long as she said so. Claire knew that her greed had drowned her senses, otherwise she wouldn’t even have thought of trying to take any of Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s shares.Even if she could take it, she wouldn’t be able to live to spend it.She was so scared that her whole body was shivering. She couldn’t even stand up and apologize after imagining the terrifying consequences of her actions.However, she couldn’t understand how Alex became the biggest shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.‘Was William the founder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?’No matter what she was thinking
