Dorothy was speechless as she didnât know what to say.
Alex spoke up, âMr. Carter helped us last time because of me.â
Anderson laughed out loud. âBecause of you? Youâre just an abandoned kid from the Rockefellers, a
loser who lives off his wife! Why would Mr. Carter help you? Everyone knows that Dorothy was just
bluffing last time. Why would Mr. Carter know a loser like you? Dorothy must have given you all the
credit after she signed the contract!â
Dorothy replied, âI donât have the ability to have Mr. Carter at my beck and call. It really was because of
Alex.â
Anderson cackled even louder. âYou do have the ability, because youâre pretty! As long as you spread
your legs, Mr. Carter will definitely help you. Otherwise, why were you the only one who was able to
secure the contract with him when the others failed to do so? Donât worry, we wonât let your help in
vain. After signing this contract, the Assexes will give you five hundred thousand dollars⦠Five
hundred thousand dollars! Just think about it, not even the top rated models could earn this much in
one night. Itâs an amazing deal just for you!â
Dorothy trembled in anger, with her eyes reddened. âYou! Stop this nonsense! I didnât do anything!â
Anderson replied, âOnly you know what you did. I mean, why do you care about it so much anyway? If
youâve slept with him once, you might as well do it for the second time.â
âMotherf*cker! â Alex, who couldnât hold his anger anymore, jumped out of his seat and grabbed
Anderson by his hair, rubbing his face against the rough mat after pressing him onto the ground.
Andersonâs face soon began bleeding as his skin was abraded.
âHow dare you harm me! Iâm your elder!â Anderson was livid.
âI âve already warned you, havenât I? Iâll beat the living sh*t out of you if a trash like you spew any
bullsh*ts.â
Two slaps landed on Andersonâs face.
âYou f*cker, why donât you let your wife sell her body? Why donât you let your mom or your daughter do
it too?â
Another two slaps landed on Andersonâs face.
âIf you dare to bullsh*t again, Iâll gouge out your tongue. Donât believe me? Try your luck then!â
Extremely angered, Alex slapped Anderson till he fainted away and flung him out of the door.
How could Madame Joanne endure such humiliation after watching her own son being slapped by
Alex? He even asked Anderson to send an old lady like her to sell her body, that was just preposterous!
Joanne yelled, âHow dare you, you little pest!â
Alex took a step forward and yelled back, âWho are you calling names, you old hag?â
Shocked by his anger, Madame Joanne screamed out of fear and was on the verge of collapse.
Benny finally exploded in anger. âThatâs enough! Sheâs still your grandmother, Alex Rockefeller. Have
you gone mental? Do you really think no one would be able to put you in your place? Do you think
youâre bulletproof huh?â
Alex smiled coldly, âYou can try, I dare you. Besides, I havenât gone mental, but youâre the ones who
crossed the line. Putting aside Dorothyâs ability to convince Mr. Carter, even if she could, she isnât
obligated to help you. But, what about you guys? All you know is to spew insults, ruining her reputation.
Hmph, are you guys even here to ask for help?â
âI donât want to hear anything about this. Just get on with the second thing that you have to say.â
Madame Jo anneâs eyelids twitched with anger, but she managed to calm herself down and said,
âSecondly, from now on, all the new material contracts of the City South branch will now be taken over
by Assex Constructions. The rights to sell off the new materials in the City South branch will now be
forfeited.â
âWhat? How could you do that?â Dorothy jumped up from her seat as cold sweat trickled down her
forehead. That was because all the contracts that she had just signed recently were all new material
contracts. She made an advance payment for the procurement of the materials, and even bet all her
fortune on them. Once her rights were to be forfeited, she wouldnât be able to sell them and everything
would be all for naught.
Madame Joanne huffed. âWhy couldnât I? I can do whatever I want as long as I say so.â
Dorothy spoke up, âGrandma, you have to be reasonable. All of the contracts we have at hand at the
City South branch are for the new materials. If we were to hand them over to the main branch, itâs akin
to forcing us to cease the companyâs operations. I still have so many materials stocked up, what do I do
with them?â
Benny replied, âIâll buy all of them from you at half the market price.â
âHalf?â
Dorothy was about to snap. If she were to sell them at half the market price, she wouldnât be able to
cover her losses, even if she had to sell her body.
