What a small world it was indeed!
The lady was his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette. She was dressed up well, but the bruise at the corner
of her mouth was still very apparent, no matter how heavy her makeup was.
Undoubtedly, she was beaten.
Chloe was escorted away by the men from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate before this, and was
sent to a brothel under Waltz Fleurâs order.
The brothel, on the other hand, had its standards as well.
Upon inspection, they found out that she was infected with syphilis. After a rough round of beating, all
they did was throw her out of the brothel. Even though she was safe, she was livid and blamed all of
her misfortunes on Alex Rockefeller.
Hence, the intense look of hatred in her eyes, piercing into Alexâs.
âMr. Rockefeller, do you know her?â
Jack Trent peered at Chloe and looked at them in surprise.
Alex nodded. âYou could say so. Are you both related, Mr. Trent?â
âOh, nope. Sheâs the daughter of my wifeâs employee. They dropped by for a visit today. Well, I sure am
glad you know each other!â Jack smiled.
âItâs not good, Mr. Trent. I donât want anything to do with him,â said Chloe coldly.
Jack was taken aback slightly at the remark, as his expression darkened.
Meanwhile, Alex ignored Chloe and looked toward the two ladies sitting on the couch.
There was a rather attractive lady looking slightly in her early thirties, who was Jackâs wife, while the
other older lady seemed to be Chloeâs mother, as they both resembled each other.
Observing the way they spoke to each other, Alex gathered that they were here today to butter
someone up.
âMr. Rockefeller, allow me to introduce you to my wife, Leanne Graves. The lady next to her is Tanya
Marionette.â
Jack intentionally glossed over his introduction of Tanya after sensing that Chloe and Alex might not be
exactly on the best terms. âDarling, this is Mr. Rockefeller or Doctor Rockefeller, whom I told you
about.â
Leanne was already on her feet when Alex approached them. She was briefed by Jack about his
identity prior to their meeting and quickly extended her hand. âThank you for coming, Mr. Rockefeller.
Please, have a seat! Would you like some tea?â
The handshake lasted no more than half a second. Her skin was smooth and cool to touch.
Immediately, Alex had an inkling of what was going on with Leanne.
Tanya did not know who Alex was, but seeing both Jack and Leanne treating him with great respect,
she kept a wide smile on her face.
âHold on! Do you know who he actually is, Mr. and Mrs. Trent? He is a fraud and a scammer!â Chloe
suddenly dashed forward and yelled.
Both Jack and Leanneâs expression darkened. Alex was their esteemed guest, and if he felt offended
because of Chloeâs antics, things would get a lot harder.
Chloe and her mother, however, did not seem to realize that fact.
âYou know him?â asked Tanya.
Chloe scoffed with disgust in her voice, âHow could I not? He went to college with me and was the most
inept, weakest fool I have ever seen. Donât you know his actual identity? Itâs okay, let me tell you then.
Heâs Alex Rockefeller, and he has been married to Dorothy Assex quite some time ago. Unfortunately,
he was banned from having any physical interactions with his wife and had to even serve her family, let
alone being treated like garbage by his mother-in-law.â
âPoint is, how could this man possess any medical expertise? He is nothing but a fraud! If he really is a
doctor, why is his mother still lying unconscious in the hospital?â
