âWhat? Did Lord Lex actually address him as his Master?â
âIsnât Alex an outcast by the Rockefeller family? How can he be associated with Lord Lex who is worth
a trillion dollars?â
âIs Alex the real owner of Thousand Miles Conglomerate? If that is true, he might be the richest man in
California or the richest man in America.â
âOh my God, thatâs a piece of big news! This is so entertaining!â
Everyone was astonished. They whispered to each other while looking on stage.
The whole Assex family was dumbfounded.
Madame Joanneâs body was trembling.
Madame Claireâs eyes were popping out of her head with astonishment.
Dorothy covered her mouth. She was perplexed.
Alex looked at Lord Lex apathetically and asked, âLord Lex, why are you here?â
Lord Lex replied, âMaster Alex, I heard about the Assex familyâs annual banquet. I came to congratulate
and at the same time, hand over the billion-dollar contract. But I didnât expect to see this.â
Alex glanced over at Dorothy and smiled bitterly. âIâm sorry for what you have seen.â
He took the billion-dollar contract from Lord Lex and tore it in half.
Madame Joanneâs eyes were red in anger. She rushed up and shouted, âAlex! What did you tear?â
Alex said gently, âThis is the stamped billion-dollar contract from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.â
âAh!â
Madame Joanne shouted, âYou son of a b*tch! How dare you tear up the contract? Youâre dead meat!â
Lord Lex took the torn contract from Alexâs hand and tore it into pieces. Then he threw it on Madame
Joanneâs face, and roared, âYou should be the dead meat!â
At that moment, there was pin-drop silence in the hall.
Madame Joanne felt the pain on her face. She panicked and asked, âLord Lex, please calm down.
Whatâs going on? This billion-dollar contract should be a proposal gift from Spark to the Assex family!
Bill! Quick! Explain to Lord Lex that you pulled off the billion-dollar contract! It must not be torn!â
If the billion-dollar contract was torn, there would be no guarantee for the Assex familyâs wealth and
status.
Madame Joanne pulled Sir Bill over, who was standing next to her.
âHaha, haha!â
Lord Lex laughed and stared at Sir Bill. âWhat did you say? You pulled off the billion-dollar contract, to
give the Assex family as a gift?â
Sir Bill had not expected Lord Lexâs presence.
He kept quiet and dared not make a sound.
Lord Lex slapped him angrily and said, âYou shameless old hag! Get lost! How are you qualified to pull
this off?â
Everyone started to doubt who was the one to pull off this billion-dollar contract.
Dorothyâs eyes widened.
She started to doubt if it was really a present from her husband, Alex.
Madame Joanne panicked and asked, âLord Lex if itâs not the Rockefeller family who pulled it off? Who
did?â
Lord Gates snorted coldly, âAre you out of your mind? This billion-dollar contract is a gift from Master
Alex to Lady Dorothy! You donât deserve my compliment. Iâm here for Master Alex!â
His statement struck like lightning!
All doubts were cleared.
Slap!
Dorothy slapped Sparkâs face. âYou liar!â
At that time, Gaston Gates took the opportunity to kick Spark. âOf course he is a liar!â
