Alex felt humiliated by Bill Rockefeller.
He recalled what happened ten months ago, where his father William had also been humiliated. He
said, âGrandpa, why are you lying? I donât understand. Both William and I are your family, but why are
we an eyesore to you?â
âWhy? Because both of you are a disgrace to mankind!â
Buzzâ
Alex felt so heartbroken as if a knife stabbed right through it. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
âDorothy, please trust me, Iâve never lied.â Alex looked at Dorothy with his lonely and helpless eyes.
But Dorothy slapped him and said in tears, âYou disappoint me! I thought that youâve changed, but
youâve become more despicable and shameless. Youâre such a terrible liar! Iâm sick of you!â
She took off her wedding ring and threw it at Alex.
The ring hit Alex on his face then rolled down to the ground.
Alexâs face turned pale.
Dorothyâs words rang in his ears.
She had said that Alex wouldnât have the chance to put that ring back on her hand if she took it off
again one day.
Disdain and insults from the guests were like swords stabbing through him. But Dorothyâs
contemptuous look hurt him the most.
Madame Joanne said, âAlex, all I ask of you is to divorce Dorothy tomorrow. Iâve agreed to Spark and
Dorothyâs marriage! Now get lost! This is the Assexâs party, youâre uninvited!â
âWait, Grandma!â
Spark said, âHe is Dorothyâs ex-husband. I want him to witness my proposal to Dorothy today.â
Madame Joanne smiled and said, âVery well, do as you please.â
Then, Alex was completely ignored. Alex witnessed Sparkâs proposal to Dorothy. Spark got down on
one knee and asked, âDorothy, will you marry me?â
The crowd cheered, âSay yes! Say yes! Marry him! Marry him!â
As Alex saw the proposal, his heart was in such anguish that he couldnât breathe.
Dorothy looked at Alex in disgust and hate, then she slowly nodded.
Just then, someone shouted from the main entrance of the hall.
âLord Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate is here to congratulate the newlyweds!â
âHere are some presents for the newlyweds. A pair of golden jade horses, an ancient painting from the
Ancient Egyptian Vase from the time of Hatshepsut, a suitcase with 9.9 million dollars of cash, and a
billion-dollar contract!â
Everyone in the hall stood up instantly after they heard the entrance of Lord Lex Gunther. They were in
awe of the gifts he had presented.
Everyone wondered about the relationship between the Assex family with Lord Lex Gunther for him to
present them with such extraordinary gifts.
The Assex family was thrilled.
Madame Joanne hurried over to welcome Lord Lex Gunther.
Lord Lex Gunther entered the hall accompanied by Sir John Gates, Sir Gary Gaston Gates, and a few
executives of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
Madame Joanne with a big smile on her face said, âLord Lex, itâs an honor to have you here, welcome!â
Lord Lex said, âMadame Joanne, itâs my pleasure. May I ask, whereâs Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller?â
Madame Joanne thought he had come for Spark. She felt so proud of Spark.
âThey are in the hall. He is proposing to Dorothy now!â
Lord Lex was curious. âWow! Iâve never thought that Mr. Rockefeller is so romantic! Interesting! Come, I
must see it.â
Soon, they arrived in front of the stage.
Lord Lex Gunther, Sir John Gates, and Sir Gary Gaston Gates were stunned looking at Spark on one
knee, with flowers and a ring in his hand proposing to Dorothy.
They were confused.
They had come here for Alex. Sir John Gates and Sir Gary Gaston Gates had specially come to
apologize to Dorothy. Alex was nowhere to be seen, but they saw Spark proposing to Alexâs wife.
Lord Lex puzzled and asked, âMadame Joanne, whatâs going on?â
Madame Joanne misunderstood his question. She smiled and said, âSpark is proposing to Dorothy!
Arenât they the perfect match for each other?â
Sir John said, âIf I remember correctly, Dorothy is married to Mr. Alexâ¦â
Madame Joanne pointed to Alex who was being pushed to a corner and laughed, âAre you referring to
that trash? He is not worthy to be Dorothyâs husband! They are getting divorced tomorrow.â
Lord Lex had realized Alex stood at the corner of the hall pitifully mocked.
The crowd then laughed.
âAlex is a piece of shit. Even his grandfather has disowned him.â
âHahaha. Witnessing his wife about to marry another man and couldnât do a thing about it. How
useless!â
âThis trash doesnât deserve a wife at all! He should be alone for the rest of his life!â
As Lord Lex saw Master Alex being mistreated, tears rolled down his face.
âShut up!â
Lord Lex roared and pushed Madame Joanne aside. âAll of you are despicable! How dare you insult
Master Alex!â
Lord Gunter was trembling. He hurried over, bowed to Alex, and said, âMaster!â
The crowd that was initially laughing at Alex was shocked. Everyone kept quiet. They looked at Alex in
confusion.
Alex took a deep breath and he slowly looked upâ¦
