As he lay down on the bed of the most luxurious presidential suite in Ther Golden Age of Youth Hotel, Alex couldn’t fall asleep.What happened today was too overwhelming.He didn't expect that his father had kept such a big secret, Thousand Miles Conglomerate, most powerful in the underworld of California. Would that mean that his father was the strongest underground boss too?Was it true that his death was due to a traffic accident?Or there's more to this than met the eye?Late in the midnight hours, when he finally fell into a deep sleep, he was woken up by his phone alarm. He got up and rushed to the hospital.In the end, when he arrived at the hospital, he saw several doctors gathered around his mother's bed. Among them, Dr. Cheryl Coney, a beautiful doctor with a particularly hot body, was there too.He was shocked. He thought something bad happened to his mother.He quickly asked, "Dr. Cheryl, what's wrong with my mother? Has her condition gotten worse?"Dr. Cheryl in
There was pin-drop silence!Everyone in that private dining room was shocked.But a few seconds later, a burst of laughter broke the silence.Everyone laughed.Only Lady Dorothy was deeply disappointed after being shocked.Madame Claire then exclaimed, "You can afford to buy the Love in a Fallen City necklace worth thirty million dollars? Did you sleep on the street last night? You must be still asleep, still dreaming about it huh? If you can afford this necklace, I will eat this table."Alex replied indifferently, "Mum, you don’t need to eat the table, your teeth are not strong enough to bite it.” Madame Claire raised her brows and glared, "Mum? Who is your mother? Your mother is still in the hospital, half-dead! From today onwards, Spark Rockefeller is my only son-in-law, and he is the only one qualified to address me as a mum. You, divorce Dorothy in the afternoon."Alex glanced and clenched his fist."What? Are you angry? How dare trash like you be angry at me, dare to be
Of course, Spark would never admit that what he had given was just a fake necklace that was only worth two thousand dollars.If he admitted it, wouldn’t it be such a waste of his previous efforts?He stood up abruptly, pointed at Cassandra, and said, "I don't know what is the relationship between you and that garbage Alex, for you to stand up for him, who are you to doubt the jewelry I gave? Do you know who I am?"Cassandra sneered and said, "Of course I know who you are. You are a spoilt brat trying to take away Alex’s family property. Frankly, everything you have now belongs to Lady Dorothy. You snatched her wealth and now give her a piece of fake jewelry to get her body, you are so shameless."Now that she believed in Alex Rockefeller. She even addressed him as father so naturally she would stand up for him. Spark coldly snorted. "You kept saying that you sold the Love in a Fallen City necklace, then who did you sell it to?" Cassandra answered, "It's..." As she was about
As Gaston began to recognize the old man standing behind, his facial expression took a drastic change.The old man was the chief of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and the alpha of the underground world, Lord Lex—Lex Gunther! He did not have the guts to berate Lord Lex. After all, he still valued his life. Gaston stood frozen for a moment, as he gathered his thoughts, he immediately smiled and apologized, "Lord Lex, I'm so, so, so sorry, I didn't know it was you! Please be the bigger man that I know you to be. Please forgive me for what I just said. I know you’re a large-hearted man. Oh, I’m Gaston, you sent someone to call for me? Is the purpose of this meeting to assign additional tasks to me? Perhaps to promote me to be a manager? I promise I will perform to the best of my abilities."Lord Lex’s face sank a little. His eyes were gloomy and cold. He said in a monotone voice, "Let’s talk about it in the meeting room." When Gaston saw that Lord Lex had not lashed out at him, he
Lord Lex kicked Gaston and shouted, “It’s too late to beg for mercy now! Drag him out and drown him."The security guard lunged forward. At this moment, Gaston’s desire to live kicked into overdrive. He groveled over and over again. His forehead was split open by the force and blood gushed out. Gaston shouted, “Lord Lex, please spare my life! Uncle John, please help me! I know I was in the wrong. I really do. Master Alex, please spare me!”The sight was difficult for John Gates to bear, but he could not mutter a word.Alex glanced at Gaston and said, “Keep him alive, he could still be useful to us.”Upon hearing Alex’s words, gratitude was written all over John’s face. He quickly kicked Gaston and said, “Quickly thank Master Alex. Remember, he’ll be your master from now on!”Gaston hastily groveled and said, “Thank you! Thank you Master Alex!”Lord Lex could not hide the anger in this voice and said, "Spark Rockefeller, he deserves a terrible death for his atrocities. I will send
Lady Dorothy trusted in Alex, but what Alex said was hard to believe. Most importantly, he had spent ten months not being himself, and that impression lingered on in her mind.Alex stared at Spark coldly. “Again with the lies. I want to see until when you’d stop lying. Do you think your lies were flawless? Will you use the Thousand Miles Conglomerate to force me to divorce Dorothy? What kind of joke is that! Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s John Gates, right? He was kneeling in front of me just now, begging for mercy.”Everyone sneered. Even Lady Dorothy was disappointed in Alex, thinking he was lying.Spark laughed loudly, “Alex, I didn't expect that you are really so delusional and had such hallucinations in your mind. John Gates of Thousand Miles Conglomerate kneeled before you? Why don't you say that Lord Lex works for you?”Alex sneered. ‘Lord Lex Gunther does work for me.’ However, it was not time yet to let the cat out of the bag. He looked at Lady Dorothy and said, “Doroth
When Gaston received the call, he was having his wounds treated at the hospital.His forehead was split open and his face was swollen. His whole body was blue and purple with bruises.With every instance of pain that he felt, he kept cursing Spark in his mind. If it weren’t for helping that scheming bastard, he would not have ended up in his current condition. He just barely avoided being drowned.When he heard Spark questioning him, he couldn't help but felt like cussing. However, he remembered Alex’s instructions and told Spark, “Don’t ask me any questions about this, I have no answer for you. I’ll be going overseas. You can handle the situation on your own.”Click! Gaston hung up on Spark and turned his phone off and couldn’t be contacted again. Spark was furious. His gut ballooned with rage. Gaston took his money but didn’t do as he asked. However, Gaston was the nephew of the powerful John Gates, a person of high status within Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Spark did not have
As they left the old Assex Manor, Spark looked admiringly at Bill, “Grandpa, I didn’t know you were so well connected that even Lord Lex is your friend. You even managed to help pull the strings for a billion dollars contract so quickly! No wonder you were confident that the old lady would accept our proposal!”Bill shook his head and said, “The billion dollars contract had nothing to do with me.” "Huh? Then didn’t you just say…” Spark questioned. "I was merely going with the flow,” Bill interjected. “Fate has it to be our day. I didn’t expect the Assex family could do business with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It seems that someone powerful must be helping them. It is a brilliant move for you to marry Dorothy. We might be able to connect with Thousand Miles Conglomerate through you in the future." Spark smiled and nodded in agreement. The thought crossed his mind, who could be helping the Assex family? A billion dollars was no small sum. Could it be Alex? He quickly dismissed t
