Lady Emma smiled and said, âYou really donât have a clue? Interesting! Youâll find out soon. By the
way, congratulations in advance!â
Dorothyâs and Alexâs eyes met. They knew something bad was going to happen.
Alex had a bad feeling as he saw Spark in the hall.
It was almost four oâclock and was already a crowd in the banquet hall.
Madame Joanne with rosy cheeks in a plain moon-white dress stood under the spotlight.
She stretched out both arms and everyone in the hall went silent.
âToday is the fifteenth anniversary of Assex Constructions. I would like to thank all of our business
partners for your presence tonight.â
Clapâ¦. Clap⦠Clapâ¦
The crowd applauded.
âAccording to our usual practice, today, the younger generation of the Assex family will be rewarded
based on their performance. But this time, thereâs a little twist! Because, we have only one winner
today, and thatâsâ¦â
Madame Joanne paused on purpose.
Next, a light shone on Dorothy.
âMy beautiful granddaughter, Dorothy!â
âDorothy has signed a contract worth a billion-dollar with Thousand Miles Conglomerate, so that makes
her the winner of this yearâs competition!â
âDorothy, you did well. Iâm very proud of you. Now, come up on stage.â
At this moment, Dorothy became the center of attention.
With the face of an angel and devilish figure, Dorothy looked like a symbol of purity and sex appeal.
Dorothyâs face blushed, she held Alexâs hand and walked toward the stage.
Alex wanted to let go of her hand, but she held on very tightly and said, âYou deserve all the credit, you
should come with me.â
âAlright!â
Alex took her hand.
Seeing this, made many men green with envy.
Finally, they went up on the stage.
Madame Joanne gave Alex a blank stare. âI only called for Dorothy. It has nothing to do with garbage
like you. Why are you even here?â
Dorothy said hurriedly, âGrandma, Alex was the reason we managed to sign the contract with
Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He was the one who helped me with this project. Without him, I
couldnât complete this billion-dollar project.â
Madame Joanne gave Alex a cold-eyed stare. âAre you sure?â
Alex nodded, âYes, Madame!â
Madame Joanne laughed. âAlex, you piece of shit. How can you be so shameless to take credit for
this? The billion-dollar contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate is your doing? How is that even
possible?â
Dorothy said anxiously, âGrandma, what he said is true.â
âBullsh*t!â
Madame Joanne said sarcastically, âDorothy, youâve been deceived by this fraud. Do you know the
meaning behind this billion-dollar contract? Itâs a wedding gift for you from Rockefeller Groupâs young
director, Spark! Yesterday, I witnessed and heard with my own eyes and ears that the contract was
signed with the help of the head of the Rockefeller family, Sir Bill Rockefeller! Alex, how dare you take
the credit! Shameless!â
Both Alex and Dorothy were stunned.
While the rest of the guests in the banquet hall burst into laughter.
Then, Spark walked out, dressed in Armani, looking cool.
He stood in front of Alex proudly.
âWhy are you so shameless, Alex? Two days ago, you gave Dorothy a so-called Love in a Fallen City
necklace. Then, you spread rumors about Gaston Gates having been taken care of. And now youâre
taking credit for the contract? Excuse me?â
Then, Madame Claire appeared.
Without a word, she slapped Alexâs face and shouted, âYouâre such a disgrace! Who are you to pull off
a billion-dollar contract for Dorothy? Sure enough, full of lies! Youâre hopeless! You donât deserve to be
my son-in-law!â
Alex had not expected Spark could be so shameless to this extent.
How dare he spew nonsense in front of all the guests.
But the only thing he cared about was Dorothy. Dorothyâs face turned pale and her eyes became
soulless. He hurriedly said, âDorothy, donât believe a word that he said, he is lying, I can prove to you
the billion-dollar contract was my doing.â
âYou rascal!â
Just then, an old man came up.
He was the head of the Rockefeller family, Sir Bill Rockefeller.
âGrandâ¦Grandfather?â
Alex looked at Sir Bill Rockefeller in shock. He didnât expect Sir Bill Rockefeller to be there.
âRascal, Iâm not your grandfather!â Sir Bill pointed to Alex and scolded, âYouâre a disgrace to the
Rockefellers! That billion-dollar contract was clearly my doing. It was for my grandson, Spark, to give to
the Assexes as a wedding gift. It has nothing to do with you! You piece of trash! You donât deserve to
be a Rockefeller! Get lost!â
